Palworld has risen to fame rapidly after launching just a few days ago, and millions of players are enjoying every moment of it. However, some players have reported their game crashing at startup or not launching at all. Here are some suggestions for you to try in your troubleshooting process and get the game running:

Check Servers Status

Due to the sudden increase in the player base of the game, the servers might be overloaded at the moment. You can check the server status by going to the game’s official server status page or by checking on their socials. It will have all the information about the current server status of the game.

Adjust Graphics Settings

Palworld runs on Unreal Engine, which requires you to have a decent rig to run the game smoothly on high settings. If you are running the game on a computer that falls short of meeting the minimum system requirements, it will cause the game to crash in demanding areas of the map.

Turn down the graphics settings to medium or low if your game is crashing constantly. Make sure you have Motion Blur off, as it takes a lot of memory and is useless to have it on. Furthermore, if you have an Nvidia Graphic Card, you can turn DLSS to Performance for better stability and fps improvement.
