Connection Timeout Error

[Genesis24]

Hello. I'm trying to host a game through the default multiplayer option on Palworld, however he keeps getting a connection timeout error when attempting to join with the invite code. We've tried restarting the game, power cycling and reinstalling the game but nothing seems to work. Anyone have any ideas that might help? Do I need to port forward if I'm not doing a dedicated server?

for some time running as an administrator helped me, but now we face this issue again

First I solved it by using VPN but the problem still occurred after a few times joining the dedicated server. Then, I just noticed that my IPv4 DNS was configured to 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 so all I did was turn it off and it worked. Maybe you should check it? I hope this can help :D

Hi, are you still unable to solve this problem? I've already tried everything, I still can't solve it...

Disable Multiplayer in your session (works for solo)

Idk if it'll a fix for everyone but you cant use your private IP, it let me connect to it but my friends kept getting connection timed out, you have to use your public IP
Use something like https://whatismyipaddress.com/

I had the same problem I'm the host and my friends couldn't join. You have to port forward both 27015 & 8211, and after that you have to code your firewall configuration to allow your friends to join you can do that by these codes:

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Palworld Port 27015" dir=in action=allow protocol=UDP localport=27015
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Palworld Port 8211" dir=in action=allow protocol=UDP localport=8211

Paste the above codes in Windows PowerShell (run it as administrator) and press enter, after doing so remember your Local IP is used by the host to join the server, and the public IP is used for your friends to join (Local IPv4:8211 is for you Public IPv4:8211 is for your friends)

I hope my explanation is clear, I solved the problem by doing this.

Can you tell me exactly how you did this, write step-by-step instructions, or can I write to you in direct Steam?

Did you become a host and create a world via ip and port?

Just wondering. For everyone that can't connect are you on wifi or hard wired in? I'm hard wired to the internet and can connect to my friends server but everyone else I'm friends with are on wifi and can't connect.

they can't connect to just you via invitation code? or they can't even connect to servers via ip?

I don’t know where I can fix this, can you explain step by step how to fix it, you couldn’t connect to your friends using the invitation code? I just manage to connect to servers via IP, but I can’t connect to friends in the world via an invitation code and it gives me the error “Connection Timeout Error”

Same.. just was building an ore base

[Patton]

Having issues connecting with my friends, tried turning admin priv on for the game, port forward, window shell w/ codes, and dedicated server. none of that worked, however, for me connecting with Hamachi seemed to fix the issue https://vpn.net/
not sure how it fixed it but it worked.
hope that helps

Is this for the regular multiplayer or for a dedicated server?
