How To Optimize Your Palworld Server FPS
Here’s how to boost server FPS and optimize your Palworld Server. This guide highlights best practices you can adopt as a server owner to ensure your Palworld server runs at peak performance often resulting in a noticeable improvement in most cases.
Daily Restarts
The first thing you’ll want to do is create an automatic daily restart schedule, this serves to keep your resource usage under control while ensuring your server has a fresh load once every 24 hours.
To create a schedule follow this guide.
Optimize Configuration
There are multiple Palworld server settings that will negatively impact performance, some may only a little, while others have very noticable effects.
If you’re having any Server FPS issues adjust these settings accordingly, these will be the most important settings for performance especially if you’re running a community server.
These settings are changed in Configuration > Startup Parameters of the Game Host Bros Panel.
