The Technical Reality of Memory Leaks

In its current developmental phase on the Unreal Engine 5, the Palworld server executable is highly susceptible to Memory Leaks. This is a technical phenomenon where the engine fails to release unused RAM back to the operating system after certain world events or player actions. Over time, your server’s RAM consumption will progressively trend upward in a diagonal line. If left unmanaged, this will eventually consume 100% of your plan’s resources, triggering an immediate process crash. Implementing a strategic restart schedule is the most effective method for maintaining high performance.

Strategic Restart Frequencies

The optimal frequency for restarting your server depends on your community’s active player count and your physical memory allocation.
Assigned RAMRecommended IntervalStrategic Purpose
8GB - 12GBEvery 4 HoursPrevents crashes on high-density survival servers.
16GB - 24GBEvery 6 to 8 HoursBalances uptime with consistent tick-rate stability.
32GB+Every 24 HoursIdeal for large-scale enterprise clusters.

Configuration Workflow

Follow these steps to automate your maintenance cycles using the FREAKHOSTING scheduler.
1

Access Schedules

Log in to the Game Panel, select your server, and click on the Schedules tab.
2

Initialize the Task

Click Create Schedule. Provide a descriptive name (e.g., Memory Flush) and set the execution interval using Cron syntax or the visual selector.
3

Define Power Action

Click on your new schedule and select New Task. Set the action to Power Control -> Restart.
4

Initialize Maintenance

Save the task. The system will now automatically cycle the server binaries, flushing the leaked memory and restoring peak performance.

Real-Time Resource Monitoring

You can proactively monitor your RAM trend within the Console or Analytics tabs of your dashboard. A memory leak is visually represented as a constant upward climb. To protect the underlying host node, our system will automatically terminate and restart processes that exceed their allocated safety thresholds.
