## Known Issues / FAQ

1) The server won't show up in the Community-Server tab.<br>
-> This is a known problem and the devs will hopefully fix that asap. Best choice is to connect by IP and Password.

2) The server has a memory leak.<br>
-> This is also an issue that they are aware of.<br>
-> The `bEnableInvaderEnemy` option seems to have a huge impact on the current RAM usage. Disabling it might be choice.<br>
-> Tip: Schedule a server restart every 6h. You might adjust the value according to your system!<br>

3) The server does not show up in the steam server list.<br>
-> This is currently and might never be supported.

4) The config file gets deleted / reset on server restart.<br>
-> Before editing the config file always make sure to fully stop the server first. Otherwise all changes wont be saved.

## Recommended server settings

### RAM

Due to at least one memory leak the server requires about 16-32GB RAM.<br>
Referring to the [official documentation](https://tech.palworldgame.com/dedicated-server-guide) you can start the server with 8GB but you will run out of memory very quickly.<br>
The minimum should be 16GB but 32GB are fairly recommended for now.<br>

### CPU

Intel / AMD processor with at least 4 cores.

### Storage

As of January 19th 2024 the server requires about 5GB of storage capacity. This might extend with further content/updates.

## Server Ports

| Port            | Default |
| --------------- | ------- |
| Game            | 8211    |
| RCON (optional) | 25575   |

The RCON port does not need to be allocated.
