"Failed to connect to server" is a generic error that appears when a connection to a Hytale server cannot be established. This article explains the most common causes and how to fix them.
Missing port
The most common reason is that the port is missing in the server address. Always make sure to include the port when joining your Aternos Hytale server. If you use the copy button in the panel, the correct address including the port will be copied automatically. You can always find the full server address on the server page.
Restart game/server
Since Hytale is still in early access, small bugs can occur. A known issue is that newly created servers sometimes cannot be joined immediately. In most cases, restarting your game and server should resolve the problem. To restart your server, press the button on the server page.
Check your server log
If you still can't connect to your server, check the server log for any error messages or warnings that might indicate the cause of the problem. The log can provide important details about what’s going wrong. The server software stores the logs in files. Look for any error messages that include the username of the specific player trying to join.
Still not possible to connect
If you've followed all the steps and still can't join the server, try checking the official article from the Hytale team. The issue might also be due to missing drivers or other factors on your system. The Hytale team's article will guide you through the troubleshooting process.
