Slow connection to every Hytale server on Windows

Reviewed October 26, 2026 1 min read

Hypixel's support documents an issue where some Windows PCs with Intel or Realtek network cards get a slow or unstable connection in Hytale, because of how their drivers handle QUIC traffic. If a player has trouble on every server, not just yours, this is worth checking.

How to confirm it

Hypixel suggests trying a USB Ethernet adapter. If the problem disappears with it, the built-in network card's driver is the cause.

Driver settings to change

  1. Open the adapter's properties

    Device Manager → Network adapters → your card → Properties → Advanced.

  2. Disable «Priority & VLAN»

    The setting Hypixel's article names first.

  3. Disable «Recv Segment Coalescing»

    Both the IPv4 and IPv6 versions, if present.

  4. If it persists

    Also try disabling Energy-Efficient Ethernet, ARP Offload, Flow Control and Green Ethernet.

Worth knowing

These are settings on the player's own PC. Nothing on the server needs to change.
