Honkai Star Rail is finally getting more updates, with the launch of version 1.2 on Wednesday. Updating the game is still a mess though, and it’s a common trend in miHoYo titles on PC. This is mostly because of the unreliable launcher of all their major releases. We have you covered though, and if you want to manually update to Honkai Star Rail 1.2.
Manually Update to Honkai Star Rail 1.2
As always, the download links provided in this guide are from the official miHoYo servers, and the files aren’t hosted on any other service. This is completely safe, and you’ll have the option to use download the files using the download manager of your choice.
Please keep in mind that this guide assumes you are on version v1.1.
Required Downloads for 1.2
You only need to download this update patch file from the link below.
- Honkai Star Rail 1.2 Patch (11.09 GB)
Updating to 1.2
Once the download is complete, the actual updating process is fairly simple this time around.
- Head over to where Honkai Star Rail is installed, it’s usually the following:
C:\Program Files\Star Rail- Here, open the Games folder
- Now, place the zip file you downloaded in the Games folder
- Run the launcher, and it should be able to verify the file placed and pre-update the game accordingly.
- If you have done everything right, it will say “Game Pre-Installation Completed“
That’s all you need to do to pre-install the latest update for Honkai Star Rail. It’s also possible that your launcher will be updated during this process which is completely normal.
Important Things To Consider
- DON’T EXTRACT THE FILES. If you want to keep playing till update 1.2 is officially out. You’ll need to ensure that you don’t extract the files manually. If you extract the files, you won’t be able to play till the update is live.
- After the patch goes live, you might have to download additional files in-game. This is normal.
- The files provided in this guide are being downloaded directly from MiHoYo servers. This means that these are entirely safe and from the developers themselves.

Hi, can you help me upload the audio folder in starrail data?
I just noticed after I extracted the patch, some audio files are missing
Does the game not run at all?
No, it’s running but the new map music don’t play in the background and the new characters are missing sound effects. That’s why I’m looking for the audio files without downloading the whole thing again 🙁
