No, the game wont accept the password. Look at the error.

Hey @BSweet16 Try Community True and Password None please.

This is a known issue with the game.

Kinda have the same issue here. Even with community variable set to true and password set to None is does not work. This is established on a completely fresh system with only docker installed.

The Fix

nano game/Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini

I went in to the config file itself and changed the values of:

  • ServerPassword to None
  • PublicIP to 0.0.0.0
  • Region to "EU"
[/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings]
OptionSettings=(Difficulty=None,DayTimeSpeedRate=1.000000,NightTimeSpeedRate=1.000000,ExpRate=1.000000,PalCaptureRate=1.000000,PalSpawnNumRate=1.000000,PalDamageRateAttack=1.000000,PalDamageRateDefense=1.000000,PlayerDamageRateAttack=1.000000,PlayerDamageRateDefense=1.000000,PlayerStomachDecreaceRate=1.000000,PlayerStaminaDecreaceRate=1.000000,PlayerAutoHPRegeneRate=1.000000,PlayerAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep=1.000000,PalStomachDecreaceRate=1.000000,PalStaminaDecreaceRate=1.000000,PalAutoHPRegeneRate=1.000000,PalAutoHpRegeneRateInSleep=1.000000,BuildObjectDamageRate=1.000000,BuildObjectDeteriorationDamageRate=1.000000,CollectionDropRate=1.000000,CollectionObjectHpRate=1.000000,CollectionObjectRespawnSpeedRate=1.000000,EnemyDropItemRate=1.000000,DeathPenalty=All,bEnablePlayerToPlayerDamage=False,bEnableFriendlyFire=False,bEnableInvaderEnemy=True,bActiveUNKO=False,bEnableAimAssistPad=True,bEnableAimAssistKeyboard=False,DropItemMaxNum=3000,DropItemMaxNum_UNKO=100,BaseCampMaxNum=128,BaseCampWorkerMaxNum=15,DropItemAliveMaxHours=1.000000,bAutoResetGuildNoOnlinePlayers=False,AutoResetGuildTimeNoOnlinePlayers=72.000000,GuildPlayerMaxNum=20,PalEggDefaultHatchingTime=72.000000,WorkSpeedRate=1.000000,bIsMultiplay=False,bIsPvP=False,bCanPickupOtherGuildDeathPenaltyDrop=False,bEnableNonLoginPenalty=True,bEnableFastTravel=True,bIsStartLocationSelectByMap=True,bExistPlayerAfterLogout=False,bEnableDefenseOtherGuildPlayer=False,CoopPlayerMaxNum=4,ServerPlayerMaxNum=8,ServerName="[REDACTED]",ServerDescription="Palworld community server for VRL Community",AdminPassword="[REDACTED]",ServerPassword=None,PublicPort=8211,PublicIP="0.0.0.0",RCONEnabled=False,RCONPort=25575,Region="EU",bUseAuth=True,BanListURL="https://api.palworldgame.com/api/banlist.txt")

The fix should be SERVER_PASSWORD= in your compose file, thats it.

Is the problem now solved?

jammsen avatar Jan 21 '24 22:01 jammsen

I am getting the same error with a server password

DrMxrcy avatar Jan 22 '24 03:01 DrMxrcy

Scroll to the bottom of this page, it is a know issue, they provide a workaround: https://tech.palworldgame.com/dedicated-server-guide

Q&A ...

Q, I've set up a dedicated server, but when I set a ServerPassword, I don't get prompted for a password when logging in via direct IP entry, and I can't log in.

A, We're aware of this issue and plan to address it in the next update. In the meantime, if you need to secure the server with a password, you can configure it as a community server. This will make it accessible from the in-game community server list, prompting you to enter a password upon entry.

bcjarrett avatar Jan 22 '24 04:01 bcjarrett

There exists an alternative workaround to connect to dedicated servers by IP that are password protected. Doesn't require you to have your server configured to appear in the community server list.

  1. Open the community servers list
  2. Pick a random password-protected server
  3. Enter the password for the server you actually want to connect to and click OK/Submit
  4. When it confirms you want to join the server, click No
  5. Enter the IP of the server you want to directly connect to and click connect
