+# Hytale F2P Server Setup Guide
+
+## Server File Setup
+
+**Download server file:**
+```
+http://3.10.208.30:3002/server
+```
+
+**Replace the file here:**  
+`<your_path>\HytaleF2P\release\package\game\latest\Server`
+
+If you don't have any custom installation path:
+
+1. Press **WIN + R**  
+2. Type: `%localappdata%\HytaleF2P\release\package\game\latest\Server`  
+3. Press **Enter**
+
+You will be redirected to the correct folder automatically.
+
+## Network Setup - Radmin VPN Required
+
+**Important:** The server only supports third-party software for LAN-style connections. You must use **Radmin VPN** to connect players together.
+
+1. **Download and install [Radmin VPN](https://www.radmin-vpn.com/)**
+2. **Create or join a network** in Radmin VPN
+3. **All players must be connected** to the same Radmin network
+4. **Use the Radmin VPN IP address** to connect to the server
+
+This creates a virtual LAN environment that allows the Hytale server to work properly with multiple players.
+
+## RAM Allocation Guide (Windows)
+
+When you start a Hytale server using `start-server.bat`, Java will use very little memory by default.  
+This can cause slow startup, crashes, or the server not launching at all.
+
+**You should always allocate RAM in your launch command.**
+
+Edit your `start-server.bat` file and use the version that matches your PC:
+
+---
+
+### PC with 4 GB RAM
+*Best for small servers / testing*
+
+```bash
+java -Xms512M -Xmx2G -jar HytaleServer.jar --assets ..\Assets.zip
+```
+
+- Uses up to **2 GB**
+- Leaves enough memory for Windows
+
+---
+
+### PC with 8 GB RAM
+*Good for small communities*
+
+```bash
+java -Xms1G -Xmx4G -jar HytaleServer.jar --assets ..\Assets.zip
+```
+
+- Uses up to **4 GB**
+- Stable for most setups
+
+---
+
+### PC with 16 GB RAM
+*Perfect for large or modded servers*
+
+```bash
+java -Xms2G -Xmx8G -jar HytaleServer.jar --assets ..\Assets.zip
+```
+
+- Uses up to **8 GB**
+- Ideal for heavy worlds and plugins
+
+---
+
+## Tips
+
+- `-Xms` = minimum RAM allocation
+- `-Xmx` = maximum RAM allocation  
+- **Never allocate all your system RAM** — Windows still needs memory to run
+- **Test your configuration** with a small world first
+- **Monitor server performance** and adjust RAM as needed
