Updating a Palworld Dedicated Server
As previously mentioned, there are few ways to update your Palworld server to the latest version of the game. These can be broken down into two categories: automatic and manual. The first option is extremely simple and popular in the community, with the second being required for specific scenarios. Review the sections below to find out more about these methods.
Automatic Updates
Once a new version of Palworld is released on Steam, our Nitrado servers automatically implement it in our system. This means you don’t have to worry about anything technical. The following steps guide you through the process to quickly update the Palworld server.
- Login and navigate to your Nitrado web interface for the Palworld server.
- Near the top, click on the Restart button and wait.
- In cases where you see “Start”, select that instead.
- If the server comes online successfully, you’ve updated to the latest version!
Manual Updates
If the automatic method for updating your Palworld dedicated server doesn’t work, then you will likely do it manually. This unfortunately means your data will be lost, as it requires a complete game reinstallation. The following instructions below will help you manually update to the latest version.
*There are alternative solutions that may work and can be found in the next section.
- Login and head towards your Nitrado web interface for Palworld.
- At the bottom left corner, select the Reinstall button.

Palworld Server Update Issues & Solutions
My Palworld Server Isn’t Starting
If you’ve tried to do the automatic method and it doesn’t work, consider waiting 1-2 hours. This type of problem typically happens when the Palworld server crashes. Giving enough time for it to work is the preferred solution to this situation, as most of the time the update eventually works.
Continued Palworld Server Crashing
After waiting for the Palworld server crash to fix itself and nothing happens, this could be an underlying issue with your data. We recommend using the “Restore Backup” feature on your web interface, which reverts all progress back to the most recent save. Afterward, try doing the automatic method again to see if the latest version gets installed properly.
Unable to Update Palworld Modded Server
In cases where you have Palworld mods installed on the server, remove or update them accordingly to resolve the issue. If you have outdated modifications, then this could cause the crash or inability to use the latest game version. Keep in mind that you might have to double check the mod’s page to see if they were updated or not before proceeding.
