Players can't connect to the Hytale server

Reviewed October 26, 2026 1 min read

If the server is running but players can't get in, go through these in order.

Checklist

  1. Is the server fully started?

    Wait until the console shows it has finished starting.

  2. Is the address right?

    IP and port exactly as shown in the panel, as ip:port.

  3. Is the server authenticated?

    In authenticated mode, an unlinked server can't accept players. See the authentication guide.

  4. Same version?

    Client and server must be on the same version and patchline.

  5. Whitelist or ban?

    If the whitelist is on, the player has to be on it; check bans.json too.

  6. Only one player?

    If everyone else gets in, the problem is on that player's side, for example the Windows network-driver issue.

Worth knowing

Still stuck? Open a ticket with the server's address and the exact message the player sees.
