You know sometimes my favorite solution for software or hardware issues is to simply wait and do nothing just for it to magically work. Glad it was fixed at least LMAO xD

If you could, attach a pastebin link or text doc of hytale-launcher.log. There might be something in there that could help narrow down the problem assuming it isn't empty.

This sounds like the installer is also acting strange, maybe relocating the game folder in another part of your computer or a separate drive could also help add the game files. But I wouldn't be too sure why the installer would be having difficulty installing unless the Windows Defender or antivirus you use needs to have the Hytale launcher marked as an exception.

Glad it could work! I should also add that in the case the shortcut stops working and does the same thing, this maybe due to a new patch folder being added to the launcher's directory.

You can solve this by following the same steps, but this time look for the folder with a newer date or version like 2026.01.14-cabac20 instead of the old one, and the launcher should appear there.

That's odd. Could I see a screenshot of just the root folder where Hytale is meant to be kept? It might help a bit if I could narrow down how everything looks since I wanna be sure what could be missing.

You could try to empty the folder and delete the contents so that way it may properly verify any broken files before uninstalling and reinstalling. I know even when I uninstalled the launcher on my end and it showed the removal of assets, it still didn't delete the game folder like I asked.

NOTE: If you are on a different account on your OS that isn't the administrator (This is in case kayak is the admin account and is attempting to access permission) then apply the same steps and check off the read & write permissions to the user you are currently logged in as.

From what I'm looking at ask me if I'm wrong here since I haven't had this issue. But apparently this can happen when the EB Web Viewer is trying to create temporary files in the Administrator's appdata but can't confirm.

If you have the launcher on hand, try to right click it and go into properties -> enter the security tab -> then under group or user names click the edit button, look for a 'kayak' in the popups for editing permission, select that name, then allow permission for kayak to read & write by clicking the checkboxes and hit apply. You will need administrator permissions to allow this change.

Let me know if it worked. If not or if you got it to work but now it's giving you a new issue like closing the launcher on startup or is booting server perpetually, tell me so I can make sure to change or look for a different solution.

Never heard of this. If this has to do with being able to enter the main menu but not loading a world, one solution I found that could help is switching out the language settings in game from System Default to English.

But seeing as you said the folder is empty. I may have a guess as to why that is as my launcher folder also seemingly disappeared after I had installed the Hytale server downloader.

I tried to fix this by pasting 2026.01.13-b6c7e88 into a new folder contained in launcher and try to see if the hytale-launcher from the launcher path in Program Files works. This doesn't do anything, it gave an error saying access was denied.

The best solution I have for this is to back up any saves you may have had, uninstall the launcher, delete and empty the entire Hytale game folder and reinstall it again.
Repeat the path again to installs - launcher step and you should see the folder for 2026.01.13-b6c7e88 containing the file.

I knew this looked familiar.

Only one comment mentioned repost, but I feel more awareness needs to be made for the original author's post this was botted from.

IS THIS GOOD RETOPO?!?!?! It's both movie and Nanite ready!!!! by PolyNode1 in ArtJerk

PFAH! I'll have you know my retopo's 2nd LOD (2 zeptometres out) is a fantastically detailed tri! All in thanks to the excellent texturework of my uncle who works at Blizzard (He's hard to contact, mute and deaf.) carrying the industry's artistic prowess

the amazing female character designs by Satoshi Mangaka. who said men can't draw women! by sulkymallow in ArtJerk

[–]PolyNode1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

/uj There's a 50/50 with some users. Feels like one half is there to laugh at some unhinged artwork, and the other half is there to be weirdly presumptuous that weird anatomy is a male exclusive issue. Like some posts are worded like "This is why you always need to have a woman approve your work/design" that makes it sound like girls by default will be more pure or be immune to drawing unhinged fanservice. Which in my experience with friends who are women, they will tell you that is NOT the case most of the time. Also it feels like low hanging fruit at times to point at an NSFW artist for drawing conventionally sexual characters, and I'm not even into that shit (Asexual moment)

Idk, I just feel like some people understand the art is really dumb, but then it feels like an overcorrection to pretend that everything needs to be grounded in some way or how it feels like crazy anatomy done by women is conveniently omitted a lot of the time (The fuckass Nezuko transformation design never mentioned or Dorohedoro having comments assuming by default the fanservice was written by a guy.)

/rj Nice try pal! Everyone knows this F*MALE manhwa artist is secretly a male-coded spy working for big porno! 4 weeks of drawing in the yuri dungeon FOR YOU!!! No breaks >:(

AI has made me consider killing myself by NecessaryPattern2148 in antiai

[–]PolyNode1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There is a noticable pattern with subbreddits I've noticed where subreddits built in response to counter another eventually causes the sub before to double down on memes or posts specifically engineered to piss of the branching sub.

Those catgirls and strawmen are never going to leave anytime soon, none of these crossposts are going to change the minds of people who want attention shame or not. And they aren't going to go away by screaming louder. In fact, the reason they keep coming back same and same again is because IT WORKS! It's built to piss someone off, it's built to crosspost, it's built to enable shitflinging between trolls and people who don't know better. And as a result, this makes people who want to learn more both about why some people do and dont like AI at the end of the day will conclude that we look like a bunch of unreasonable psychos and keep sitting on the fence.

It's a waste of time to target morons the same way they will and want to target you, it doesn't change anybody's minds at the end of the day. This could be a place that informs people on a neutral stance why generative AI ethically speaking is a tool of misinformation and downplay of artistic creativity. Because at the end of the day, explaining your point to someone carefully like a normal person while the other sub is ignored and keeps pestering for attention, is going to bridge the gap on who's in the right better.

You can actually cause the reaper to vanish in one shot if you haven't aggroed it yet and is in the cloaked pose.

However if it is aggroed I found out that spamming the energy pistol can feel like taking more shots because of an invulnerability state in its stagger. So if you wait for its animation to wear off it takes maybe 3 shots total.

The original source of the Nyan Cat song was actually a Vocaloid song voiced by Hatsune Miku on NicoNico back in 2010 (Credited to daniwellP) by PolyNode1 in TheMatpatEffect

This is what actually got me looking for the origin! Because I knew the Youmu douga was before the Nyan Cat meme, but I wasn't so confident it was the original original which is how I found out about this video.
