How to Join Your Palworld Server

Updated 10 June 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

Connect to your Palworld server using the direct connect option. The server browser only displays around 200 random servers, so your server will not appear in the list even if it is online. Use the steps below to join directly.

Find your server IP and port

  1. Log in to the Game Control Panel and navigate to your Palworld server.
  2. Start your server if it is not already running. Allow a few minutes for it to fully start.
  3. Locate your IP:PORT combination on the server overview page. It will look similar to 216.245.176.218:7797.

If your server requires a password, see set server password before connecting.

Troubleshooting

  • Server not visible in browser: This is expected. Use direct connect as described above.
  • Connection timeout: Confirm the server is fully started in the game panel. Allow up to five minutes after starting.
  • Wrong port: Copy the exact IP:PORT string from the game panel rather than typing it manually.
