How to Join a Friend's Hytale Server

Joining a Hytale server takes its address and port. Here is where to find them and what to check if you cannot get in.

Joining

  1. Get the server's address and port from its owner. On Flux the dashboard shows them, ready to copy.
  2. In Hytale, open the server list and add the server by that address.
  3. Enter the join password if the server has one.

If you cannot get in

  • The port is part of the address. A server on Flux usually has its own port rather than 5520.
  • The server must be linked to its owner's Hytale account. Until it is, it does not let players in; the owner sees the code in the Hytale Account tab.
  • An invite-only server needs you on its whitelist.
  • Your game and the server must be on the same Hytale build. A server updates when it restarts, so after a Hytale update, ask the owner for a restart.

Frequently asked questions

How do I join a Hytale server by IP?

Add it to the server list by its address and port, then connect.

Why can't I connect to my Hytale server?

Check the port, that the server is linked to its owner's account, that you are whitelisted if it is invite-only, and that your game and the server are on the same build.
