Hytale has its first hotfix within the first day of release to stop eyebrows from crashing the game and to let Norwegian players actually get into the game.

Thankfully, with the expectation of a messy launch, the Hytale devs are on top of things, with the game receiving its first hotfix soon after launch. The developers detailed the fixes in a post on the Hytale website. These include authentication issues and "general stability improvements," but there are also some highly specific issues.

Given that the team expected "over 1 million players" on launch day – which presumably was eclipsed given that Collins-Laflamme said, "We are seeing a VERY HIGH rate of new Hytale players" implying the actual number was a surprise – expecting some issues was probably a smart move.
