2. Run Steam and Palworld as an administrator
Some gamers mentioned on Reddit that running Steam and Palworld as an admin helps to fix the Failed to EOS Login Error in their case. To see if this is a fix for you:
- Right-click your Steam icon and select Properties.
- Select the Compatibility tab. Tick the box for Run this program as an administrator. Then click Apply > OK to save the changes.
- Then go to the folder where you keep the exe file of Palworld (it could be somewhere like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Palworld), and repeat the above to run Palworld-Win64-Shipping.exe as administrator.
Now open Palworld again, it should be opened with administrative permission, to see if the EOS Login Error remains. If the problem persists, please move on to the next fix.
3. Allow Steam and Palworld through your antivirus program and the Windows firewall
The Failed to EOS Login Error could also relate to authentication server malfunctions, which could be caused by the firewall or antivirus blockage.
To see if this is your case, you can first try to disable your third-party antivirus program to see if the Failed to EOS Login Error persists.
Or you can add Palworld or Steam to your antivirus program’s exception list if you’d rather not disable it altogether. The exact process to add a program to the antivirus exception list differs for every software, and you’ll need to check the software manual or seek help from the devs if you’re not sure how to do it.
Other than the antivirus, you can also do the following to add Steam and Palworld to your Windows firewall’s exception list:
- On your keyboard, press the Windows key and the R key simultaneously to open the Run box.
- Type control firewall.cpl and hit Enter.
- From the left navigation pane, click Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall.
- Scroll down and check if Steam and Palworld are on the list.
- If not, click the Change settings button.
- Click Allow another app….
- Click Browse… and go to the installation folder for Steam and Palworld.
If you don’t know what the installation folder is for your Steam, simply right-click on its shortcut and select Open file location. - Find steam.exe and click on it. Then click Open.
- When it’s located, click Add.
- Now make sure Steam and Palworld are added to the list and tick Domain, Private, and Public. Once you’re done, click OK.
Try to launch Palworld again to see if the Failed EOS Login error remains. If so, please move on.
4. Verify the game files
Some also mentioned that verifying the game files on Steam also helps to fix the Failed EOS Login Error for them on Palworld. This is probably because verifying the game files also helps to update the game and therefore fix temporary problems like the EOS error. To see if this helps you as well:
- Launch Steam.
- In the LIBRARY, right-click Palworld and select Properties from the drop-down menu.
- Select the Installed Files tab and click on the Verified integrity of game files button.
- Steam will verify the game’s files – this process may take several minutes.
Launch Palworld again to see if the Failed EOS Login error remains. If so, please move on to the next fix.
5. Change the DNS server
As mentioned, the Failed EOS Login Error is related to the network environment, and a new DNS server could help to avoid the crowded cache that could cause such a problem. To switch to a new DNS server, you should first flush the DNS:
- Press the Windows logo key and R on your keyboard to invoke the Run box.
- Type cmd, then press Shift and Enter at the same time. If prompted for permission, click Yes.
- Copy ipconfig /flushdns, and paste it in the pop-up window. Then press Enter.
- Your DNS cache is successfully cleared.
Then switch to an open and secure DNS, and we’re using Google’s here:
- On your taskbar, right-click the network icon, then click Open Network & Internet settings.
- Click Change adapter options.
- Right-click the network you’re using, then click Properties.
- Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), then click Properties.
- Select Use the following DNS server addresses, fill in the Google DNS server addresses as below, then click OK.
Preferred DNS server: 8.8.8.8
Alternate DNS server: 8.8.4.4
Launch Palworld again to see if the Failed EOS Login error remains. If so, please move on.
