FAQ:
1. "The match you are trying to join is running an incompatible game version. Please try upgrading the game version." This prompt indicates that the Palworld deployed on the server needs to be updated.

Please log in to the server through an SSH client and use the following command to update the game.
steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 2394010 validate +quit

After the update is complete, enter the command sudo systemctl restart pal-server to restart the game service.
Note: if the connection fails, check whether the service starts normally and whether the firewall allows port 8211.
