Automatic updates let your Hytale server update itself when it starts up. This is useful if you want to stay on the latest server build without manually updating.
- Go to your Hytale server, then click the Startup tab.
- Find
AUTOMATIC_UPDATEand enable it. - The panel saves Startup changes automatically. Restart your server to apply the change.

If updates seem stuck: give the server a bit longer to boot after enabling automatic updates, as it may be downloading and applying an update before it fully starts.
If the server won’t start: disable AUTOMATIC_UPDATE again, restart, and try once more. If it still fails, send us the console output and we’ll take a look.
