For example, you might use the <strong>Stable<\/strong> patchline for a reliable player experience or the <strong>Pre-release<\/strong> patchline to test the latest experimental features and bug fixes before they go live. On the GGServers panel, switching between these channels is a seamless process. This guide will show you how to change your Patchline settings safely.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Stop Your Hytale Server<\/h3>\n<p>Changing the Patchline involves the server downloader fetching different versions of the Hytale game files. To prevent file conflicts or data loss during this update, log in to your <a href=\"https:\/\/panel.ggservers.com\/\">GGServers Control Panel<\/a> and click the <strong>Stop<\/strong> button. Ensure the console shows that the server has fully shut down.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"121\" height=\"56\" class=\"wp-image-17502\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32.png\" alt=\"Stopping the Hytale server in the dashboard\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32.png 121w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-50x23.png 50w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-60x28.png 60w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-100x46.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 121px) 100vw, 121px\" \/>\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Always stop your server before changing version settings.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Navigate to Server Settings<\/h3>\n<p>On the left-hand navigation sidebar, locate and click on the <strong>Server Settings<\/strong> button.
