Known Issues
There is a known memory leak bug for Palworld dedicated servers and clients since the release of the game. There is an issue with their code where the applications do not properly release used memory when no longer in use resulting in RAM usage building over time.
Other issues / bugs can be found on Palworld Dev's official Twitter/X at https://twitter.com/Palworld_EN/status/1749320138850267163
Ways To Reduce Memory Leak
Disabling the bEnableInvaderEnemy
setting is a hotfix that can significantly reduce RAM usage and mitigate the impact of the memory leak.
We have not tested for ourselves, but it has been reported that despite changing the setting, invaders may still attack your bases.
How To Change The Setting
Update this setting by opening the file located at /Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini
. Change the setting to bEnableInvaderEnemy=False
and restart the server. It is always recommended to back up your server before making any changes to your server.
