Here are common Palworld server issues and how to fix them.
Error! app '2394010' state is 0x6 after update job.
Sometimes when you try to manually update your Palworld server, it will get stuck somewhere with the error Error! app '2394010' state is 0x6 after update job..
To fix this stop your server, go to Settings and click Reinstall in the top-right, then select Verify integrity to re-download game files.
"Connection timed out" When Connecting to your Palworld Server
Ensure your server is currently turned on. If Palworld has just updated and you have mods installed, then your server is likely broken and will require mods to be updated or removed. You can check your server usage or type a command such as info into the server console. If your CPU usage is super low or you don't get a successful response from info, your server is crashing and not starting properly. Create a [Backup] then update or remove your mods / UE4SS to fix the issue.
If you're getting the message Connection timed out when you're connecting to your server, this is most likely because you're trying to connect via the Recent Servers tab. Currently, this may have issues, and you must connect direct using the IP address every time..
This can also be caused if someone in your guild leaves while other players who were connected to the server are offline. This can sometimes be fixed if they rejoin the guild; otherwise, you will need to restart your world.
Connecting anonymously to Steam Public...Retrying
The Retrying issue is caused by Steam connectivity issues. Due to the popularity of Palworld this can sometimes happen. To bypass this go to Settings and disable Automatic Updates.
You will also have trouble connecting to your server while Steam has outages. You will sometimes need to wait 5 - 10 minutes to get back in. Steam performs routine maintenance on Tuesdays.
