Tips for New Multiplayer Players
Read the Rules
Every server has its own rules. Take a moment to read them when you first join to avoid accidental violations and bans. Rules are usually displayed on join or in spawn areas.
Be Respectful
Remember there are real people behind every character. Treat others how you'd like to be treated, and you'll have a much better experience.
Join the Community
Many servers have Discord communities where you can meet other players, get help, and stay updated on events. Check the server's page for their Discord link.
Choose Your Region
For the best gameplay experience, choose servers hosted near your location. Lower ping means smoother gameplay, especially in PvP and fast-paced minigames.
Vote for Good Servers
If you enjoy a server, vote for it! This helps great servers get discovered by more players, and many servers offer vote rewards like in-game items or currency.
Try Different Servers
Don't settle for the first server you try. Explore different server types and communities to find the perfect fit for your playstyle.
Common Connection Issues
Can't connect to a server?
- • Check that you've copied the server address correctly (no extra spaces)
- • Verify the server is online by checking its status on our site
- • Make sure your Hytale client is up to date
- • Try restarting Hytale and your internet connection
- • Check if the server requires a specific client version
Experiencing lag or high ping?
- • Choose servers closer to your geographic location
- • Close bandwidth-heavy applications running in the background
- • Try connecting via ethernet instead of WiFi
- • Lower your video settings if your computer is struggling
Got kicked or banned?
- • Review the server rules to understand what may have caused it
- • Contact server staff through their Discord if you believe it was a mistake
- • Some kicks are temporary (e.g., AFK kicks) - try rejoining
- • If banned unfairly, most servers have an appeal process
