UE4SS Auto-Updater for Palworld

Description

A lightweight system tray app for Windows that automatically checks GitHub for new UE4SS releases and installs them for Palworld — no more manually downloading, extracting, and copying files every time UE4SS updates. It runs quietly in the background, checks on whatever schedule you set, and can either install updates automatically or just notify you and let you approve each one.

Installation instructions

[]Download  PalUpdater.exe and place it anywhere on your PC (no installer needed).[/]

[]Run it. On first launch it'll ask you to set your Palworld install folder — either browse to it manually or use the "Auto-detect via Steam" button.[/]

[]Set how often you want it to check for updates, and whether you want updates installed automatically or just notified about.[/]

[]That's it — it sits in your system tray from then on. 

Main features

[]Automatically checks the official UE4SS GitHub repo on a schedule you control[/]

[]Installs updates automatically, or notifies you first — your choice[/]

[]Preserves your installed Lua mods and UE4SS-settings.ini

across every update, so a UE4SS core update never wipes your mod setup[/]

[]Detects if Palworld is currently running and warns you the update won't take effect until you restart the game, or defers auto-install until you've closed it[/]

[]Steam auto-detect for finding your Palworld install folder[/]

[]Built-in log viewer so you can see exactly what it checked, downloaded, and installed[/]

[]No installer, no dependencies to configure — single portable exe

Requirements

[]Windows 10/11[/]

[]A local Steam install of Palworld (this manages your local client's UE4SS install, not a dedicated server's files)[/]

[]No other mods or tools required — this only manages UE4SS itself, not individual gameplay mods
