Immediate Response for Launch Day
The Hytale Early Access launch saw an incredible influx of players, which naturally brought some technical instabilities to light. The dev team worked tirelessly to push this first "Hotfix" to address the most critical issues reported by the community.
Key Stability and Gameplay Fixes
This update targets several critical errors that caused unexpected game crashes:
- Resolved Crashes: Fixed a crash during character creation (hair/eyebrow selection) and a bucket-related bug that affected certain workbenches.
- International Compatibility: Fixed a system folder issue preventing players with non-English folder names from taking screenshots, and resolved a specific launch bug for players in Norway.
- Authentication & Launcher: Added a warning if your computer clock is out of sync (which caused login failures) and improved general login stability.
Security and Services
The studio has also reinforced the network infrastructure:
- Vulnerability Patched: A visual exploit that allowed players to spoof other usernames has been fixed.
- Server Improvements: Enhanced email delivery services and global caching for future game patches.
Important Note: If your workbenches appear broken due to the previous bucket bug, you will need to break and replace them to restore functionality.
