+### "Server" Term and Definiton
+
+"HytaleServer.jar", which called as "Server", functions as the place of authentication of the client that supposed to go to Hytale Official Authentication System but we managed our way to redirect it on our service (sanasol.ws), handling approximately thousands of users to play this game for free to worldwide players.
+
+Kindly support us via [our Buy Me a Coffee link](https://buymeacoffee.com/hf2p) if you think our launcher took a big part of developing this Hytale community for the love of the game itself. 
+**We will always advertise, always pushing, and always asking, to every users of this launcher to purchase the original game to help the official development of Hytale**. 
+
+### Server Directory Location
+
+Here are the directory locations of Server folder if you have installed 
+- **Windows:** `%localappdata%\HytaleF2P\release\package\game\latest\Server`
+- **macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/HytaleF2P/release/package/game/latest/Server`
+- **Linux:** `~/.hytalef2p/release/package/game/latest/Server`
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This location only exists if the user installed the game using our launcher. The `Server` folder needed to auth the HytaleClient to play Hytale online
+> (for now; we planned to add offline mode in later version of our launcher).
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Hosting a dedicated Hytale server will not need the exact similar tree. You can put it anywhere, as long as the directory has `Assets.zip` which
+> can be acquired from our launcher via our `HytaleServer.rar` server file (which contains patched `HytaleServer.jar`, `Assets.zip`, and `run_server` scripts in `.sh & .bat`.

+## Windows Issues
+
+### "Failed to connect to server" / Server won't boot
+
+**Symptoms:** Singleplayer world fails to load, "Server failed to boot" error.
+
+**Solution - Whitelist in Windows Firewall:**
+1. Open **Windows Settings** > **Privacy & Security** > **Windows Security**
+2. Click **Firewall & network protection** > **Allow an app through firewall**
+3. Click **Change settings**
+4. Find `HytaleClient.exe` and check both **Private** and **Public**
+5. If not listed, click **Allow another app** and browse to:
+   ```
+   %localappdata%\HytaleF2P\release\package\game\latest\Client\HytaleClient.exe
+   ```
+
+### Duplicate mod error
+
+**Symptoms:** `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Tried to load duplicate plugin`
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Navigate to your mods folder:
+   ```
+   %localappdata%\HytaleF2P\release\package\game\latest\Client\UserData\Mods
+   ```
+2. Remove any duplicate `.jar` files
+3. Restart the launcher
+
+### SmartScreen blocks the launcher
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Click **More info**
+2. Click **Run anyway**
+
+---
+
+## Linux Issues
+
+### GPU not detected / Using software rendering (llvmpipe)
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- Game uses integrated GPU instead of dedicated GPU
+- Very low FPS / unplayable performance
+- Play button not clickable
+- Log shows `llvmpipe` instead of your GPU
+
+**Solution for NVIDIA:**
+```bash
+__EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/10_nvidia.json ./HytaleF2P.AppImage
+```
+
+**Solution for AMD (hybrid GPU systems):**
+```bash
+DRI_PRIME=1 ./HytaleF2P.AppImage
+```
+
+**Permanent fix - Create a launcher script:**
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+export __EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/10_nvidia.json
+export DRI_PRIME=1
+./HytaleF2P.AppImage
+```
+
+**Note:** On some desktop systems with AMD iGPU + dGPU, the GPU selector may be inverted (selecting iGPU actually uses dGPU). Use whichever option works.
+
+### SDL3_image / libpng errors
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- `DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library 'SDL3_image'`
+- `libpng` related errors
+- Game crashes on startup
+
+**Solution - Install dependencies:**
+
+**Fedora / RHEL:**
+```bash
+sudo dnf install libpng libpng-devel
+```
+
+**Debian / Ubuntu:**
+```bash
+sudo apt install libpng16-16 libpng-dev libgdiplus libc6-dev
+```
+
+**Arch Linux:**
+```bash
+sudo pacman -S libpng
+```
+
+**Alternative - Replace corrupted library:**
+```bash
+cd ~/.hytalef2p/release/package/game/latest/Client/
+mv libSDL3_image.so libSDL3_image.so.bak
+wget https://github.com/user-attachments/files/24710966/libSDL3_image.zip
+unzip libSDL3_image.zip
+chmod 644 libSDL3_image.so
+rm libSDL3_image.zip
+```
+
+### AppImage won't launch / FUSE error
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Debian/Ubuntu
+sudo apt install libfuse2
+
+# Fedora
+sudo dnf install fuse
+
+# Arch
+sudo pacman -S fuse2
+```
+
+### Missing libxcrypt.so.1
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Fedora/RHEL
+sudo dnf install libxcrypt-compat
+
+# Arch
+sudo pacman -S libxcrypt-compat
+```
+
+### Wayland display issues
+
+**Symptoms:** Game doesn't launch, stuck at loading, or display glitches on Wayland.
+
+**Solution - Force X11:**
+```bash
+GDK_BACKEND=x11 ./HytaleF2P.AppImage
+```
+
+**Alternative - Electron Wayland hint:**
+```bash
+ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=auto ./HytaleF2P.AppImage
+```
+
+### Steam Deck / Gamescope issues
+
+**Solution 1 - Add custom launch options in Steam:**
+```
+ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=x11 %command%
+```
+
+**Solution 2 - Launch from Desktop Mode** instead of Game Mode.
+
+**Solution 3 - Force X11:**
+```bash
+GDK_BACKEND=x11 ./HytaleF2P.AppImage
+```
+
+### Ubuntu LTS-based distros (Linux Mint, Zorin OS, Pop!_OS)
+
+These distributions may have compatibility issues due to older system packages. This is a limitation of the Hytale game client, not the launcher.
+
+**Workarounds:**
+1. Install all dependencies listed above
+2. Try the SDL3_image replacement
+3. Consider using a more recent distribution or Flatpak/AppImage with bundled dependencies
+
+---
+
+## macOS Issues
+
+### "Butler system error -86" (Apple Silicon)
+
+**Symptoms:** `Butler execution failed: spawn Unknown system error -86` (EXC_BAD_CPU_TYPE)
+
+**Cause:** Butler (the update tool) is x86_64 only.
+
+**Solution - Install Rosetta 2:**
+```bash
+softwareupdate --install-rosetta
+```
+
+Then restart the launcher.
+
+### Auto-update fails with code signature error
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Code signature at URL did not pass validation
+domain: 'SQRLCodeSignatureErrorDomain'
+```
+
+**Solution - Manual update:**
+1. Download the latest version manually from [Releases](https://github.com/amiayweb/Hytale-F2P/releases/latest)
+2. Backup your data first (see [Backup Locations](#backup-locations))
+3. Install the fresh download
+
+### "Unidentified developer" warning
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Open **System Settings** > **Privacy & Security**
+2. Scroll to **Security** section
+3. Find the message about "Hytale F2P Launcher"
+4. Click **Open Anyway**
+5. Authenticate and click **Open**
+
+### App won't open (quarantine)
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Hytale-F2P-Launcher.app
+```
+
+---
+
+## Connection & Server Issues
+
+### "Failed to connect to server" in Singleplayer
+
+**Possible causes:**
+1. Windows Firewall blocking (see [Windows section](#failed-to-connect-to-server--server-wont-boot))
+2. Patched server JAR download failed
+3. Regional network restrictions
+
+**Solution - Check patched JAR:**
+1. Look for `HytaleServer.jar` in:
+   - Windows: `%localappdata%\HytaleF2P\release\package\game\latest\Server\`
+   - Linux: `~/.hytalef2p/release/package/game/latest/Server/`
+   - macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/HytaleF2P/release/package/game/latest/Server/`
+2. If missing or very small, the download may have failed
+
+**Solution - Regional restrictions:**
+
+Some countries (Russia, Turkey, Indonesia, etc.) may have issues accessing download servers.
+- Try using a VPN for the initial download
+- Once downloaded, the patched JAR is cached locally
+
+### "Infinite Booting Server" / Server stuck loading
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Check if the patched JAR downloaded successfully (see above)
+2. Ensure your GPU meets minimum requirements
+3. Check launcher logs for specific errors
+4. Try with a VPN if in a restricted region
+
+### "Connection timed out from inactivity"
+
+**This is expected behavior.** Sessions have a 10-hour TTL and will timeout after extended inactivity. Simply reconnect to continue playing.
+
+---
+
+## Authentication & Token Issues
+
+### "Invalid identity token" / "Failed to start Hytale"
+
+**Solution:**
+1. **Restart the launcher** - This fetches fresh tokens
+2. **Check system time** - JWT validation requires accurate system time
+3. **Clear cached tokens:**
+   - Delete `config.json` from your HytaleF2P folder
+   - Restart the launcher
+   - Re-enter your username
+
+**Locations:**
+- Windows: `%localappdata%\HytaleF2P\config.json`
+- Linux: `~/.hytalef2p/config.json`
+- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/HytaleF2P/config.json`
+
+### Token refresh errors
+
+If you see issuer mismatch errors in logs:
+1. Delete `config.json` and `player_id.json`
+2. Restart the launcher
+3. This forces a fresh authentication
+
+---
+
+## Avatar & Cosmetics Issues
+
+### Avatar/skin changes not saving
+
+**This is a known F2P limitation:**
+- F2P mode has no password protection for usernames
+- Anyone can use any username
+- Cosmetics are stored server-side by username
+- If someone else uses your username, they can change your cosmetics
+
+**Workaround:** Use a unique username that others are unlikely to choose.
+
+### Character invisible / Customization crashes
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Use **Repair Game** in launcher Settings
+2. Verify `Assets.zip` exists in your game folder
+3. Clear cached assets:
+   - Windows: Delete `%localappdata%\HytaleF2P\release\package\game\latest\Client\UserData\CachedAssets\`
+4. Restart the launcher
+
+### Avatar creator shows "Offline Mode"
+
+**Cause:** Cannot connect to auth server.
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Check your internet connection
+2. Test connectivity: Open `https://auth.sanasol.ws/health` in browser (should show "OK")
+3. Check if firewall is blocking the connection
+4. Try disabling VPN (or enabling one if in restricted region)
+
+---
+
+## General Issues
+
+### Mods not showing up
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Ensure mods are placed in the correct folder:
+   - Windows: `%localappdata%\HytaleF2P\release\package\game\latest\Client\UserData\Mods\`
+   - Linux: `~/.hytalef2p/release/package/game/latest/Client/UserData/Mods/`
+   - macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/HytaleF2P/release/package/game/latest/Client/UserData/Mods/`
+2. Verify mod files are `.jar` format
+3. Check launcher logs for mod loading errors
+
+### Game updates delete configurations/mods
+
+**This is a known issue being worked on.**
+
+**Prevention - Always backup before updating:**
+- Server configs and worlds
+- Mods folder
+- `config.json` and `player_id.json`
+
+See [Backup Locations](#backup-locations) below.
+
+### Play button not clickable
+
+Usually caused by GPU detection failure. See [GPU not detected](#gpu-not-detected--using-software-rendering-llvmpipe).
+
+**Alternative:**
+1. Go to **Settings** > **Graphics**
+2. Manually select your GPU
+3. Restart the launcher
+
+### Read timeout errors
+
+**Cause:** Network connectivity issues.
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Check your internet connection stability
+2. Try using a VPN
+3. Check firewall settings
+4. Try at a different time (server load varies)
+
+---
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+### Linux ARM64 not supported
+
+Hytale does not provide ARM64 game client builds. The launcher downloads from official Hytale servers which only provide:
+- Windows x64
+- macOS (Universal/Intel)
+- Linux x64
+
+This is outside our control.
+
+### F2P Username System
+
+- No password protection for usernames
+- Anyone can claim any username
+- Cosmetics shared by username
+- UUIDs generated based on username
+
+A per-player password system is planned for future versions.
+
+### Session Timeout
+
+Game sessions have a 10-hour TTL. This is by design for security.

+# Steam Deck / Ubuntu LTS Crash Investigation
+
+## Status: SOLVED
+
+**Last updated:** 2026-01-27
+
+**Solution:** Replace bundled `libzstd.so` with system version.
+
+---
+
+## Problem Summary
+
+The Hytale F2P launcher's client patcher causes crashes on Steam Deck and Ubuntu LTS with the error:
+```
+free(): invalid pointer
+```
+or
+```
+SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault)
+```
+
+The crash occurs after successful authentication, specifically right after "Finished handling RequiredAssets".
+
+**Affected Systems:**
+- Steam Deck (glibc 2.41)
+- Ubuntu LTS
+
+**Working Systems:**
+- macOS
+- Windows
+- Older Arch Linux (glibc < 2.41)
+
+---
+
+## Root Cause
+
+The **bundled `libzstd.so`** in the game client is incompatible with glibc 2.41's stricter heap validation. When the game decompresses assets using this library, it triggers heap corruption detected by glibc 2.41.
+
+The crash occurs in `libzstd.so` during `free()` after "Finished handling RequiredAssets" (asset decompression).
+
+---
+
+## Solution
+
+Replace the bundled `libzstd.so` with the system's `libzstd.so.1`.
+
+### Automatic (Launcher)
+
+The launcher automatically detects and replaces `libzstd.so` on Linux systems. No manual action needed.
+
+### Manual
+
+```bash
+cd ~/.hytalef2p/release/package/game/latest/Client
+
+# Backup bundled version
+mv libzstd.so libzstd.so.bundled
+
+# Link to system version
+# Steam Deck / Arch Linux:
+ln -s /usr/lib/libzstd.so.1 libzstd.so
+
+# Debian / Ubuntu:
+ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libzstd.so.1 libzstd.so
+
+# Fedora / RHEL:
+ln -s /usr/lib64/libzstd.so.1 libzstd.so
+```
+
+### Restore Original
+
+```bash
+cd ~/.hytalef2p/release/package/game/latest/Client
+rm libzstd.so
+mv libzstd.so.bundled libzstd.so
+```
+
+---
+
+## Why This Works
+
+1. The bundled `libzstd.so` was likely compiled with different allocator settings or an older toolchain
+2. glibc 2.41 has stricter heap validation that catches invalid memory operations
+3. The system `libzstd.so.1` is compiled with the system's glibc and uses compatible memory allocation patterns
+4. By using the system library, we avoid the incompatibility entirely
+
+---
+
+## Previous Investigation (for reference)
+
+### What Was Tried Before Finding Solution
+
+| Approach | Result |
+|----------|--------|
+| jemalloc allocator | Worked ~30% of time, not stable |
+| GLIBC_TUNABLES | No effect |
+| taskset (CPU pinning) | Single core too slow |
+| nice/chrt (scheduling) | No effect |
+| Various patching approaches | All crashed |
+
+### Key Insight
+
+The crash was in `libzstd.so`, not in our patched code. The patching just changed timing enough to expose the libzstd incompatibility more frequently.
+
+---
+
+## GDB Stack Trace (Historical)
+
+```
+#0  0x00007ffff7d3f5a4 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6
+#1  raise () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6
+#2  abort () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6
+#3-#4  ?? () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6
+#5  free () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6
+#6  ?? () from libzstd.so    <-- CRASH POINT (bundled library)
+#7-#24  HytaleClient code (asset decompression)

+# Steam Deck / Linux Crash Fix
+
+## SOLUTION: Use system libzstd
+
+The crash is caused by the bundled `libzstd.so` being incompatible with glibc 2.41's stricter heap validation.
+
+### Automatic Fix
+
+The launcher automatically replaces `libzstd.so` with the system version. No manual action needed.
+
+### Manual Fix
+
+```bash
+cd ~/.hytalef2p/release/package/game/latest/Client
+
+# Backup and replace
+mv libzstd.so libzstd.so.bundled
+ln -s /usr/lib/libzstd.so.1 libzstd.so
+```
+
+### Restore Original
+
+```bash
+cd ~/.hytalef2p/release/package/game/latest/Client
+rm libzstd.so
+mv libzstd.so.bundled libzstd.so
+```
+
+---
+
+## Debug Commands (for troubleshooting)
+
+### Check libzstd Status
+
+```bash
+# Check if symlinked
+ls -la ~/.hytalef2p/release/package/game/latest/Client/libzstd.so
+
+# Find system libzstd
+find /usr/lib -name "libzstd.so*"
+```
+
+### Binary Validation
+
+```bash
+file ~/.hytalef2p/release/package/game/latest/Client/HytaleClient
+ldd ~/.hytalef2p/release/package/game/latest/Client/HytaleClient
+```
+
+### Restore Client Binary
+
+```bash
+cd ~/.hytalef2p/release/package/game/latest/Client
+cp HytaleClient.original HytaleClient
+rm -f HytaleClient.patched_custom
+```

+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Description | Example |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `HYTALE_AUTH_DOMAIN` | Custom auth domain | `auth.sanasol.ws` |
+| `HYTALE_NO_LIBZSTD_FIX` | Disable libzstd replacement | `1` |
