Many are speculating that this download error appears primarily because several players are simultaneously trying to download the game, causing slowdowns and crashes to the Hytale’s download server. So, the ideal solution is to click “Relaunch” and then try again. The game retains progress between attempts, so you won't have to continuously start from zero, so don't lose hope! Alternatively, connect to a VPN before and attempt to download the game again. Use different portals, particularly those with less server traffic than normal. Certain players reported that this method worked for them, as doing so showed little to no sign of issues when downloading the game. It may take a few (or a lot) of tries before the Hytale downloads successfully. So, patience and perseverance are advised to download and launch the game. Some players were able to download the game successfully, despite the error message appearing.
