# 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
