How to fix Palworld failed to host multiplayer session error

The biggest appeal to Palworld for me is the multiplayer features and playing with my friends. However, it's never fun when I run into issues. Let's dive into how to fix Palworld's failed to host multiplayer session error.

How to fix failed to host multiplayer session Palworld error

Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do to solve the failed to host multiplayer session error in Palworld. The only thing to do is be patient and wait for the developer to resolve the issue.

This error also sometimes shows up as OnCreateSessionCompleteDelegate bWasSuccessful == false, but the outcome is the same, preventing you from hosting multiplayer. The issue is likely due to server strain from too many players logging into Palworld, but a patch or update may also be responsible for taking the servers down.

Server issues generally must be fixed by the developer, and so far, Pocketpair has been communicative about issues and its efforts to fix any issue. You can try brute forcing your way into hosting a server or restarting the game, but you will have limited success.
