1. Set a unique server name - make it distinct and memorable.
2. Restart your server and wait 60 seconds.
3. Enable Display servers with different versions in the server browser.
4. Make sure you're searching in the Community Servers tab, not other tabs.
5. Simplify your server name by removing special characters.
6. Fully restart Palworld (close and reopen the game).
7. Try connecting using the IP address directly instead of searching by name.
