How to Fix Palworld Multiplayer Lag and Rubberbanding (2026 Guide)
Palworld multiplayer is notoriously demanding on server hardware. If you are experiencing rubberbanding, delayed damage numbers, or your Pals are teleporting around your base, you are likely hitting a hardware bottleneck.
The Problem with P2P Co-op and Cheap VPS Hosts
When you host a game on your local machine via co-op, your PC is rendering your game and acting as the server for your friends. This leads to the dreaded "tethering" limit, forcing your friends to stay within a small radius of you.
Many players try to solve this by renting cheap $5/month VPS servers. However, Palworld has a well-documented memory leak.
Data: Palworld Server RAM Usage by Player Count (v1.0)
| Player Count | Idle RAM | Active Combat RAM | Base Pathfinding RAM |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 Players | 3.2 GB | 4.8 GB | 6.1 GB |
| 16 Players | 5.1 GB | 8.4 GB | 12.5 GB |
| 32 Players | 8.9 GB | 15.6 GB | 24.2 GB+ |
As the data shows, a standard 4GB or 8GB VPS will crash frequently when pathfinding AI is active for 20+ Pals in a base.
