Hytale Gameserver

Introduction​

Hytale is currently available in Early Access, which means certain gameplay mechanics and engine components are still under active development. Some issues may occur that are not caused by server configuration, hosting performance, or player actions.

In specific cases, known bugs within the game can lead to server crashes, player disconnects or broken interactions. The following information explains when such issues are likely related to the game itself and how they can be mitigated using the HyFixes mod until the game developers have fully fixed this.

Early Access Notice

Hytale released on January 13th, 2026 and is currently available in Early Access. As the game is still in an active development phase, server software, configuration files, modding support, and installation workflows may continue to change over time.

Symptoms​

The issues addressed by this guide typically appear even when the server is correctly configured and running without performance problems. Affected servers may show behavior such as unexpected crashes during normal gameplay, players being kicked without clear error messages, or crashes triggered by specific in-game actions.

Common scenarios include crashes when players interact with certain items, crafting stations, quests, or when entering or leaving specific areas such as dungeons. In many cases, the problem is reproducible and occurs consistently under the same conditions.

Cause​

As bugs are a common occurrence in early access games, there may also be bugs in the server software. They are not necessarily related to hosting hardware, network stability, or incorrect server configuration. Because these bugs occur at the game or engine level, they cannot always be resolved through configuration changes or standard troubleshooting steps. Official fixes are expected over time as development progresses, but some issues may persist between updates.

Solution and when to use​

HyFixes is a community-maintained mod designed to address a collection of known stability issues in Hytale. It focuses on preventing crashes and server instability by safely handling problematic interactions and edge cases within the game.

The mod does not change gameplay mechanics or balance. Instead, it acts as a protective layer that prevents known bugs from causing crashes or disconnects.

To install HyFixes, follow the standard mod installation procedure described in the Install Mods guide. This guide explains where mods must be placed and how they are loaded by the server.

HyFixes should be considered when standard troubleshooting steps have already been completed and the issue persists. It is recommended for servers experiencing repeated crashes or instability linked to known Early Access bugs.
