Change your Palworld dedicated server settings in the GTX game panel: stop the server, open PalWorldSettings.ini with the Config Editor, change what you want, save and start again.
How to change Palworld dedicated server settings
- Log in to your Client Area.
- Click Services, then select your Palworld server in the list.
- Click the Auto Login to Control Panel button. It takes you to your game panel.
- Once you are in your game panel, stop the server first (STOP), then go to Configuration Files.
- Edit the
PalWorldSettings.inifile with the Config Editor button. - Once you have changed all settings, press Save & Exit.

If you already changed your game panel password, Auto Login won't work: log in by hand with your username and new password on the Game Panel.
Always stop the server before you edit PalWorldSettings.ini. Changes made while it runs can be overwritten or ignored. Edit PalWorldSettings.ini, not DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini: Pocketpair notes that changes to the default file have no effect.

Palworld settings questions
How do I change my Palworld dedicated server settings?
In the GTX game panel, stop the server, open Configuration Files, edit PalWorldSettings.ini with the Config Editor, press Save & Exit and start the server again.
Why did my Palworld settings not change?
Most often the server was still running while you edited, or the change went into DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini, which the server ignores. Stop the server, edit PalWorldSettings.ini in Configuration Files, save and start again.
How do I give my server a name and password?
Set ServerName and ServerPassword in PalWorldSettings.ini. A unique name also makes your server easy to find in the Community Servers list, as explained in How to connect to your Palworld server.
