Palworld Server: Fixing Password, EOS and Visibility Issues

Palworld Server: Fixing Password, EOS and Visibility Issues

Setting up a Palworld dedicated server can sometimes lead to frustrating errors, specifically around password entry, Steam-vs-EOS platform mismatches, and server visibility. As of 2026, several community-discovered fixes exist for these common hosting problems. (Getting "Connection Timed Out" instead? That has its own causes - see the Palworld connection timed out guide.)

Mixed PC + Xbox + PS5 group? Confirm crossplay compatibility first. See our Palworld Crossplay (2026) guide for who can join whose server.

๐Ÿ”‘ Password Bypass

The "No Password" error occurs when the client fails to prompt for a password even though the server requires one.

๐ŸŒ Server Visibility

Community servers often disappear from the in-game list due to API throttling or incorrect Epic Games integration.

Common Fix: The "No Password" Error

If you receive a "No Password" error when trying to join your dedicated server via IP address, follow these steps:

  1. Click on Community Servers in the Palworld menu.
  2. Select a random server from the list that HAS a password (indicated by the lock icon).
  3. When prompted for a password, enter ANY text and click OK. It will fail.
  4. Go back to the bottom and paste your dedicated server IP and Port.
  5. Click Connect. The game should now correctly prompt for YOUR server's password.

Steam vs Xbox/EOS: Who Can Actually Join

A frequent "can't connect" case is a platform mismatch, not a network problem:

  • Steam players can join any Steam dedicated server directly by IP and port.
  • Xbox and Microsoft Store (Game Pass) players can only join servers started with -publiclobby, which enables Epic Online Services (EOS) networking - without it, the server is invisible to them no matter what the firewall says.
  • Mixed groups should verify the crossplay matrix first: see Palworld Crossplay (2026).

For "Connection Timed Out" errors (ports, zombie processes, config-load failures), follow the dedicated connection timed out troubleshooting guide instead - that error has its own checklist.

Network Settings for Stability

In your PalWorldSettings.ini, ensure bIsMultiplay=True and bIsUseBackupSaveData=True are set. If you are experiencing high latency, try toggling bEnableNonLoginPlayer to False to prevent unauthorized bots from pinging your server.

Note: Microsoft Store (Xbox PC Game Pass) players cannot connect to Steam-exclusive dedicated servers unless the server has been specifically configured with -publiclobby and Epic Online Services (EOS) integration.
