Problem Description

Issue

We try to update the game but it looks like we have infinite updates. We cant start our server anymore

Reproduction Steps

  • update AMP
  • update the game
  • update the game a second time
  • update the game a third time
  • Still an update to do, but when we tried to update it, nothing is happen

i have the same issue, nothing i can do will start the game

Have the same problem… hopefully someone comes up with a solution soon

I have the same issue, just updated everything to v2.5.0.4.

Also have the same issue. Checks for updates, verifies install, quits, repeat one time. Stops.

Currently running version 2.5.0.4 - 20240404.5

Same issue… Using version v2.5.0.4, built 04/04/2024 18:29

Search the forum, answered multiple times. You need to update your INSTANCE to get the latest config as the Palworld devs changed the executable name

i’ve been updating my instance and it still leads me to the infinite loop of it trying to install and not starting… if you’ve solved the problem then at least show the steps on how you did it

Same here. It’s all up to date, yet it just reinstalls every time I try to start.

The instance (AMP) and the server (Palworld) are different things. You are updating the server, but not the instance.

Click Return to Instances. Stop the Palworld instance. Click update. Select “I have taken a backup” (even if you haven’t).

Thank you for spelling it out. After I did that, I was able to start it from that same screen and it worked, finally.
