Dev Blog: Addressing Day 1 Server Stability

Note: This is a summary of the official blog post released by Noxy and the team.

Hello everyone! The response to Hytale’s Early Access launch has been absolutely overwhelming. We hit a peak of 2.8 million concurrent players, which, to be honest, melted our login servers slightly faster than we anticipated.

The Issues

• Login Queues: Players experienced queues of up to 2 hours.
• Rubber-banding: High latency in Zone 3 regions.
• Inventory Desync: A rare bug where items appeared to vanish (they are safe in the database, just visual).

The Fixes

We have deployed Hotfix 1.0.1 this morning which:

1. Scaled up our database clusters by 400%.
2. Optimized the chunk loading packet size.
3. Fixed the “Ghost Item” inventory bug.

Compensation

As a thank you for your patience, all players who logged in during the first 48 hours will receive the exclusive “Pioneer’s Cape” cosmetic item. It will be added to your account inventory automatically next week.

Thank you for exploring Orbis with us!
