Dedicated Server (Windows) Not Connecting Issues

[Skurny]

Im not sure what I am doing wrong here why I cant connect to my server.
Downloaded via Steam CMD
Ran the server once to get the config files made
Copied Pasted the default server settings to PalWorldSettings.ini
added my pubic ip to the line
added admin password
I have port forwarded on my router
Added the ports to the firewall
relaunch and get on the command box "setting breakpad minidump AppID = 1623730

How do I know the server is done loading?
What else am I missing?

It seems like there's an issue with the .exe right now. 3rd party companies and end users are having issues with the dedicated servers very similar to what you're experiencing.

Data isn't being populated when you run the .exe so it is causing you to not have a functioning server.

We have to wait for Palworld server files to update through steamcmd. :/

Awesome thanks for the input, This ain't my first rodeo with servers and its driving me nuts! I cant even find the PalWorld Dedi files under tools in steam so they must have took them down too.

Got sick of running SteamCMD every 10 minutes and typing all the bs in.
Here's a link to my .bat file I'm using to update check and run the program.

Everything in the .bat file is commented out, so if people are learning they can understand what it does. :)

Apparently you have to own the game to use the Steam to use the Dedi files. So to use the working file you need to buy a second copy to use the working dedicated files

You will need to own it to download via SteamCMD yes but not to run it most likely.

No you dont. I was able to get the files from anonymously logging in.

Was genuinely trying to help. Sometimes my idiot brain forgets that people are malicious and ♥♥♥♥. Ruins it for those who are trying to help.

i ran your cmd script and still get Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 1623730
so I'm guess Ill have to wait for palworld to update the files?

[Huru2ryousan Watch&SafetyPatrol]

I created the same thing on another computer, but in CMD at startup
Set breakpad minidump AppID = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
entered the local IP of the server computer and was able to enter the game, since the direct connection in the game defaults to 127. and a number, and if I make the connection as is, it fails.

The problem is that when I enable the password, I can't even get in through the direct connection, so I was able to get in locally, but I don't know if others can join because it doesn't show up in the waiting server list.
I know I can join in other games, so if I can't, I'll just use the IP direct connection. I just play with friends.
