How to Find Your Hytale Logs

  • Updated

Locating Your Log Files

To find your log files, open the Hytale Launcher and click the settings cog in the top corner. Under Open Directory... there are two buttons:

  • User Data opens the game data folder for the patchline you have selected. Your client, editor and server logs are in here.
  • Hytale Install opens the main Hytale folder. The launcher log is in here.

Click User Data, then open the Logs folder. Each log file is named with the date and the time it was created, for example 2026-07-19_14-32-08_client.log. Choose the newest file, or the file that matches the time of the problem. You can drag or copy this file so it is ready to be shared with our team.

The game keeps only the 10 most recent client log files. Copy the file soon after the problem happens.

Note: the paths in the tables below are the defaults for the release patchline. If you select a different patchline, or you installed Hytale to a custom folder on Windows, your files are in a different place. The User Data button always opens the correct folder.

Sharing Log Files With Us

If you are running into a bug or have been asked to provide logs, there are two ways to send them to us.

Report a bug from the launcher

This is the fastest option, because the launcher collects the log files for you.

  1. Open the Hytale Launcher and click the settings cog in the top corner.
  2. Click the bug icon in the bottom right corner of the window.
  3. Fill out the category, the summary and the description.
  4. Keep Attach logs switched on.
  5. Click submit.

With Attach logs switched on, the launcher sends the launcher log, your two most recent client or editor logs, and your two most recent server logs.

Report a bug from your Hytale account

Head to your Hytale account and click on the Bug Reports tab. Fill out the required information about the issue you're experiencing, and attach the log file in the file upload section before submitting the report.
