The latest version of Genshin Impact will be out in 2 days is out now and is one of the biggest updates yet. miHoYo has been true to their schedule, and we are getting an update every 6 weeks. Similar to previous updates, this one brings new playable characters, quests, and items. The developers have been hard at work to constantly provide new content for players on a tight schedule. Sadly, there still haven’t been any improvements when it comes to the update process. Updating through the launcher is still a hassle, and for the most part, you won’t get the speed you should be. If you want to manually update to Genshin Impact version 1.5, here is how you can do that.
If you have been following our Genshin Impact coverage, you’ll know that we have provided a manual guide for each update. Aside from that, a common error, which is ‘Game Verification Error’ is also fixable, and updated for each new update.
Manually update Genshin Impact version 1.5
Now, if you can get the update through your launcher, that’s the most ideal way. However, for a lot of users, that option simply doesn’t work, and if it does, the download speed is super low. The biggest benefit of manually updating is that you can use whatever download manager you want.
Before we get started, you need to make sure that you are on version 1.4. You can follow this guide to manually update to 1.4.
After you have ensured that, you can follow the steps below.
- Open the Genshin Impact launcher, and make sure it is updated (We are talking about the launcher itself, and not the game. It will give you a prompt to update it if there is a new update for the launcher available.)
- Now, click on the Update button, and then Pause it
- Close the Genshin Impact launcher, and make sure it is closed from the taskbar as well. Right-click on the icon, and select Exit, as shown below
- After closing it completely, head over to the following location
C:\Program Files\Genshin Impact\Genshin Impact Game\
- Here, delete all the .zip_tmp files (these are the temp files downloaded during the initial download we initiated)
- Now, download the following patch files (Yes, all of these)
- First Patch File (5.42 GB)
- Second Patch File (382 MB)
- Third Patch File (461 MB)
- Fourth Patch File (390 MB)
- Fifth Patch File (381 MB)
- After you are done downloading these, copy all 5 zip files to the Genshin Impact Game folder
C:\Program Files\Genshin Impact\Genshin Impact Game\
Important: DO NOT EXTRACT ANY OF THESE zip FILES. If you do this before version 1.5 is live, your game will be unplayable
Run the launcher, and it should say Game Pre-Installation Done. If you are following this method when the update is live, you will be able to play the game as you normally would.- Run the launcher, and click on Update, it will unzip the downloaded files and install/verify the game.
[UPDATE: After you have updated to 1.5, you can now update to 1.5.1 by following this guide as well]
We hope this guide was helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments below.
Are these really all of them? because the update says its 15gb….Btw thanks for the links tho you are really helpful
Yes! If you have 1.4, these are the links you will need 🙂
You are welcome! I hope I could help
Hi, just wanna ask if I can still do this?
Yes! 🙂
Hey the update came but I am unable to update it ! Is this helpful
This will allow you to manually update to 1.5, yes 🙂
Can you make a new guide I deleted the game and downloaded it again and this trick isn’t working it shows get game but not Update
You can read the guide here for a fresh installation
https://whatifgaming.com/how-to-fix-the-genshin-impact-game-verification-error-on-pc/
what if i dont have the 1.4 version i had to uninstall the game and install it again and my only option is ‘update’
If you have followed the steps correctly, you can simply press Update and it will unzip the files and install those for you
Thank you So so so much!! if i download using the launcher the speed is way too slow.. now i’m ready for the patch tomorrow 😀
Glad I could help! Enjoy! 😀
hi i just wanted to ask what zip files do we have to delete?? cuz for me, it only shows one zip file that i downloaded yesterday which says GenshinImpact_1.4.0 so do i delete it??
hey, did you click the Update button, and then Paused it? It should download a few temp files. To check which files are temporary, those will have the .zip_tmp files extension.
To enable file extensions, open your File Explorer Options by searching it in Windows Search.
Then click on the View tab, and uncheck Hide Extensions for Known File Types
oh ok I’ll try that. thankyou!
Dudeee, you are always so helpful and underated, thank youu now I can download like a speed 😉
Glad to be of service! Enjoy 🙂
Thank you so much for the patch files! This helps a lot!
You’re welcome! Enjoy the game 🙂
thank
You’re welcome! 🙂
Hi
Thank you for your efforts
My question is . If I download these files, will it run the new update normally?
i mean these files pre-install files I afraid it dont work when the new patch will launch
Hey, when you copy the zip files into the Genshin Impact Game folder, the launcher will detect those. When the patch officially goes live, your game will update to 1.5 🙂
Oh that’s great, thanks for everything
Hello, I have a problem and that is that the patches I cannot download them 🙁 it only lets me download the first one, when I give the link to download the others I get a network error. I already verified and my internet works well, what can I do?
Hey! Not sure why you’re getting that error. I just verified the files right now and those are working for me :/
I already solved the problem and did what you said. But now when I start the game either from the launcher or from the folder it gives me an error. It says data error, error code 31-4302
Can you try running the game directly from the executable? It’s the GenshinImpact.exe file in the Genshin Impact Game folder.
I get the same error 🙁 opening it from the launcher and the executable gives the error
you might need to reinstall the game from scratch :/
Here’s the guide for that
https://whatifgaming.com/how-to-fix-the-genshin-impact-game-verification-error-on-pc/
Thanks man you rlly saved me here. But I’m still confused about this: Should I still extract the zip files after the 1.5 update is live, or will they just sit there untouched?
You don’t need to unzip those 🙂
My Genshin Impact Launcher is updated to the latest version but it is showing the Get game button even though I have the game downloaded. So, how do I connect to the game using the launcher?
Try running the game directly from the executable 🙂
I’m sorry to trouble you, may I ask how to run it from the executable..? I tried to type its full file name “C:\Program Files\Genshin Impact\launcher.exe” in “Window+R” and it still shows “Get Game”
Please help me! Thank you so much > <
Hey!
Navigate to the following folders
Genshin Impact > Genshin Impact game >
Here you will see GenshinImpact.exe
Try running the game using that, and not the launcher
Hi, my launcher is not working, so am I supposed to extract the files manually??
Yes, you can do that now 🙂
I extracted the files but after I turned on the game from the exe. file it says, “Version Update found. Please start the launcher to download the latest version.”
Never mind, I extracted the files to GenshinImpact_1,4.0 and now its working….
Thnx for your help!!
That’s awesome! Glad it’s working for you now! 🙂
Hello, i had the same problem so i tried to connect the luncher to the game, and it worked for me. As for you, go to the settings of the luncher (the icon is next to the minimize icon). In general settings there is written “local files: find game files”. Click on it and then choose the game’s path. It should be “genshin impact/genshin impact game”folder. Don’t forget about the latter, and with that the luncher will be connected to the game. You will be able to see the “game pre-installation” button next to lunch.
Sorry for my bad english, I hope it works for you as well. 🙂
Really appreciate you helping out other users here! Thank you so much
so i have a doubt, since my launcher is showing game version 1.3.2 even after updating the launcher, so it is not showing pre-installation successful. So should i just unzip these game files (all 5) when 1.5 goes live or what??
Didn’t you update to 1.4 before?
yes i did, but launcher is still showing 1.3.2
cause at the time of 1.4 update i downloaded the pre-installation file from launcher but since it was showing file not found when update goes live so i directly unzip it and started using .exe file to launch my game instead of launcher
i also copied all the 5 files in the designated folder, but launcher is still showing game version as 1.3.2 and when i click the UPDATE button in launcher, it start downloading the pre-installation file of version 1.4
Did you edit the version in the config.ini to 1.4 when installing the 1.4 version?
Hey, like XYZ mentioned, can you check the config file what version it’s showing?
It should be located in Genshin impact Game folder
its showing 1.3.2
ok, yes now its working after updating config file to 1.4.
thanks a lot man
really appreciate it 🙂
That’s awesome! Thanks for confirming 🙂
” If you do this before version 1.5 is live”
Sorry but, when is the version update live, also how do you know?
, so when can i extract the files??
sorry i asked twice because i thought the other one didn’t get posted
Hey, the update comes out on 28th April
thanks dude god bless you:)
You’re welcome! 🙂
Thanks for this post. BTW may I know from where you get the zip files (or links) for the manual installation.
And stay safe 🙂
thanks
Happy to help! 🙂
Thank you so much bro! I always have to download updates in other places cuz my internet sucks, you are my salvation 😀
Not a problem! Hope everything works fine! 🙂
You saved me man!
Glad I could help! 😀
Thanks again mate !
Not a problem! Enjoy! 🙂
I’m sorry to trouble you, may I ask how to run it from the executable..? I tried to type its full file name “C:\Program Files\Genshin Impact\launcher.exe” in “Window+R” and it still shows “Get Game”
Please help me! Thank you so much > <
Nevermind! I think I found my mistake. I had a “config” file at the same file location-“Genshin Impact” – as the Launcher. The config file is as follow:
[launcher]
cps=mihoyo
channel=1
sub_channel=0
game_install_path=C:/Program Files/Genshin Impact/Genshin Impact Game
game_dynamic_bg_name=34c9f946602f8c56de0308a52ab19614_7130775933778483611.png
game_dynamic_bg_md5=9e758d15276d2bf2b860ecc2c18a3235
is_first_exit=0
exit_type=2
game_start_name=GenshinImpact.exe
I moved it elsewhere, and copy the “config.ini” file which you taught us to do and paste in in the “Genshin Impact” file location (Previously I put the “config.ini” file in “Genshin Impact Game” folder, not “Genshin Impact” folder). Then I open the launcher, it still say “Get Game” but when I clicked it, it was at 99% completed. So I just waited for a few minutes and ta-daa the pre-installation update button is there!
Thank you very much! You really helped us a lot! Have a nice day!
Apologies for not getting back to your sooner 🙁
Glad it worked out for you! 🙂
Enjoy 😀
Please dont be sorry! You are too kind enough to upload these files for us >< And you even replied to almost every comment! Thank you for your guidance!
You’re welcome! You’re downloading the files directly from the server, I just make sure everyone knows how to use them! 🙂
Thank you so so so much for this
You are welcome! Enjoy the game 🙂
we meet again haha thanks :D, time to download the 1.5 version I’m gonna follow your steps this time since it has 5 files 🙂
hehe, hope everything goes smoothly! 🙂
welp, i forgot i don’t have the launcher so time to do the manual thing, where should I put the audio files? thanks 😀
Thank you so much!
The launcher’s downloader sucks for someone like me with unstable internet connection, once it detects a 0 kb/s download speed it pauses but won’t resume automatically. I left it overnight to download but then I woke up only at 5% with a prompt asking whether to retry -_- turns out since my internet is unstable it pauses every 10 minutes or so.
Downloading now, I hope the downloaded files will work when patch goes live. Thanks a bunch!
The files will! You’re downloading from the official miHoyo servers, just using your preferred download manager 🙂
Sorry but may I ask what do you mean in the step 2 *Now, click on the Update button, and then Pause it. Do you mean the pre install update button inside the game launcher or should we wait for the patch 1.5 to be fully release tomorrow and use that big yellow update button in the launcher??? BTW Im playing on PC… Hope you could respond to me ASAP… Thank you
Hey, don’t worry about it. Yes, the pre-install update button in the launcher 🙂
NVM my comment im done updating…
*I FOLLOWED THE STEPS THEN CLICKED THE UPATE BUTTON BUT INSTEAD OF DONWLOADING THE FILES AGAIN IT JUST SAYS DOWNLOADING FOR ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES AND IT VERIFIED THE FILES THAT I PASTED IN THE GAME FOLDER DIRECTORY AND ITS DONE…THANKS AGAIN
although i had downloaded the pre install via launcher, but seeing a lot of positive feedback from ur works I hope you don’t stop helping us every update. you also helped me from the previous post about the game verification error where i had to download the whole game again (1.4) and it works like a charm, hope you update that post as well when 1.5 is released:), I have limited internet so i had to go to internet cafe to download (someone might have the same situation as i am!) so this is a big help. thankyou and have a pleasant day/night^^
Hey, thank you for the kind words! I’m overwhelmed by the positive response these posts have gotten! Don’t worry, I’ll update these articles, and provide new ones every time there’s a new error, and update 🙂 I’ll be updating the Game Verification article soon! 🙂 Thank you again for the comment!
Thank you very much, I’m having trouble with my launcher, which can’t detect the game
I uninstalled the whole game. so should i wait till a full 1.5 update comes and i can download the zip and do the procedures ?
If you want to install the game from scratch, you can follow this guide. I have updated it for 1.5 🙂

Hi! Just a question do we have to change the config.ini file to 1.5?
once the patch is out can u pls share the 1.5 zip files ? because i uninstalled the whole game and dont know where to start
Hello! I am currently downloading the patches so if I finish the dl, do I have to unzip each files manually or do I just launch the game after I copy it to the Genshin Impact game folder? Thank you so much!
After the update is live, simply click on Update in the launcher, and it will unzip/install/verify the files for you.
If the update is live can i extract it by myself?
When the update is live, your launcher will have an Update button. Press that, and it will automatically unzip/verify these files.
Thank you very much, i am having a problem with auto update from launcher because it keeps telling me could not verify the files, the game has already downloaded the files for me and i found them in the folder. so i extracted with the order u presented, i was wondering if there is a fix to my problem whenever install through the launcher it tells me, failed to verify. when i manually verify game (from launcher) it just starts to download from the very beginning the whole game for no reason, noting the folder is the same of the game and i can launch the game through the launcher after the manual update .
Hmmm, if you have placed the files, can you make sure that your config file in the following location has the correct version?
Genshin Impact\Genshin Impact Game
Thank you so much for this! You helped me lots! Really appreciate the work you do.
Just putting this out there in case someone has the same issue:
I had the problem that the download was stuck and it showed this message: “Game files download error. Check your network settings and try again.” But my connection was ok!
So I deleted all those .zip_tmp files and restarted the launcher and it started downloading again!
Thanks again! 🙂
Thank you for this, and for helping out other players! 🙂
HI
I dont have any downloaded version of the game. What should I do?
If you want to download and install the game from scratch, you can follow the guide here.
https://whatifgaming.com/how-to-fix-the-genshin-impact-game-verification-error-on-pc/
Hey! The 1.5 patch is now live, means I cannot use this steps right?
Yes, you can! 🙂
should i delete the update1.4 or keep it ?
i’ve already do all of it but when I open the launcher the yellow button still texted update, what should I do?
Just click on Update 🙂 It will unzip the files, and install/verify those 🙂
Hi.
This is my first time installing this game and it shows file verification error. What should I do?
Hey, I have updated the guide for that error. You can read it here. 🙂
https://whatifgaming.com/how-to-fix-the-genshin-impact-game-verification-error-on-pc/
You’ve help the whole people bro, thank you, better manually update than with launcher
Glad I could help! 🙂
I’m getting corrupt files notice when extracting the First Patch File using WinRAR.
game_1.4.0_1.5.0_diff_H8LGSgKU\GenshinImpact_Data\Resources\unity_builtin_extra. The file is corrupt
game_1.4.0_1.5.0_diff_H8LGSgKU\GenshinImpact_Data\StreamingAssets\AssetBundles\blocks\00\00576315.blk. The file is corrupt
Can you try running WinRAR as an admin, and try? It is also possible the files got corrupted during download.
Can I still update the game using these files?
Yes, you can! After you are done copying the files into the location, simply click on Update in your launcher. It will extract the files, install and verify those
My game keep telling me I need to close it so it can download but every time I click confirm it immediately pops back, and when I finally manage to close my game it reopens instantly with it telling me to close my game so it can update again. So I did everything you said, now I can go has far as downloading everything but when it says verification, the thing pop up again and it just doesn’t work. Idk what to do anymore.
Can you try a fresh installation? I’ve made a guide for it here.
https://whatifgaming.com/how-to-fix-the-genshin-impact-game-verification-error-on-pc/
can u do a guide on error 31-4302? I was want to play the game in peace oof
Hello.
I got a problem in last step. When I press “Update”, it still need a space storage. It requires 13.4 GB or my 8.0 GB space available. Any solution?
Thank you so much for this man. Been running into errors and the DL speed from the launcher isn’t helping. Please continue this for other patches in the future as well as I feel this isn’t going to be a one time thing lol.
Hey! You’re very welcome, and yes, I’ll continue writing guides for upcoming updates 🙂
bro i followed all ur steps and when the launcher installed the files I got a file verification error. I tried this three times, rebooting my launcher. im so lost omg
I’ve written a guide for the verification error here
https://whatifgaming.com/how-to-fix-the-genshin-impact-game-verification-error-on-pc/
After copying the files, and opening the launcher ,it still says to download and is downloading files. No update option.
Did you extract the files?
No I didn’t.
Extract the fiels, and see if that makes a difference
Thnx man i tryed the auto update twice and when download completed it say “Files verification error” and when i click in retry it redownloading from 22 per cent and when the download completed the same error appear again but after i did download
your files here it works thnx very much
Awesome! Glad to know it worked for you!:)
should it say “download” or “update” after you reopen genshin
It should say Update
It says “! D:\Genshin Impact game\Genshin Impact game\game_1.4.0_1.5.0_diff_H8LGSgKU.zip: Checksum error in D:\Genshin Impact game\Genshin Impact game\Genshin Impact game\GenshinImpact_Data\StreamingAssets\AssetBundles\blocks\00\00464160.blk. The file is corrupt

It says “! D:\Genshin Impact game\Genshin Impact game\game_1.4.0_1.5.0_diff_H8LGSgKU.zip: Checksum error in D:\Genshin Impact game\Genshin Impact game\Genshin Impact”. It says the files are corrupt
Hey, use the in-game repair option to fix it. It should be in the menu 🙂 Checksum errors are pretty common sadly
didnt meant to comment twice
I had the issue pre-installing from the launcher for 1.5 version a couple days ago (couldn’t check file integrity), so I uninstalled the game completely and then reinstalled from the official website. Got the 1.4 version and then I downloaded the update (from the launcher, again) and it showed file integrity error and then network errors etc… Then I tried this method but launcher doesn’t recognize anything, and it says “get game” when i paste zip patches into the folder. Any ideas what could be the issue?
Hey, can you try running the game directly from the executable (GenshinImpact.exe)? It’s in the following location
Genshin Impact > Genshin Impact game >
Another thing you can try, open the launcher and try the following
Launcher settings -> general settings -> find game files
henlo.. can u help me?
i tried this step, but idk why it didn’t work. the verified failed.
and I tried to reinstall the game.. and about to do the same thing u taught us to manually install 1.4 because it worked for me. i still have the 20gb file too. but I couldn’t find that guide again? i mean I forgot about the config.
help
Hey, sure thing. Here is the guide for manually installing Genshin Impact 1.5 from scratch. I’ve updated the guide to 1.5, and included the required download files.
https://whatifgaming.com/how-to-fix-the-genshin-impact-game-verification-error-on-pc/
please can you upload google drive link… my download speed is only 128kb/s
Hi is tbis safe? Lke will you risk getting ban if i update manually?
These are from Mihoyo’s servers 🙂
How can I get the deleted files?
Which deleted files are you talking about?
Please help me, I unpacked the files manually and when I open the launcher, I click start the game and the error “failed to load il2pp” crashes. genshinimpact.exe the same thing
Not sure why you’re getting the error, because that is a Unity error :/
Can you try doing a fresh installation by following this guide?
https://whatifgaming.com/how-to-fix-the-genshin-impact-game-verification-error-on-pc/
hello!
thank you for the tutorial. i’ve updated my files into 1.5 without trouble till I launch my launcher and when I click to start the game I got, “version update found. please start the launcher to download the latest version. log in after the completion of this update to immediately obtain 300 primogems.”
I’ve tried to verify the data twice, and there’s no problem. so I tried to launch again but I get that notice again.
do you have any solution? thank you!
Hey, can you open the config file in the following location, and tell me what it says?
Genshin Impact\Genshin Impact Game
it say,
[General]
channel=1
cps=mihoyo
game_version=1.5.0
sub_channel=0
Can you try launching the game directly from the executable?
It should be in the Genshin Impact Game folder
i tried it before. and i still stuck at the start game:click to begin for a few times.
after that, i extract the file the first patch file and copy it into the folder.
i tried it again and finally i can get past it. but now i stuck at the first loading screen and it said,
“data error, please download latest gamefile from official website and log in again. error code : 31-4302”
Copy pasting a comment I wrote for another user. See if it helps you
“Oh no, that’s a very tricky error to fix.
There is a method that you can try though.
Please make sure Windows Security is turned off for this one.
1. First rename your “Genshin Impact Game” folder to “GI_old”
2. After that, make a new folder in the same directory called “Genshin Impact”
3. Open the GI_old folder, and delete “blob_storage”
4. Move everything from GI_old to the new Genshin Impact folder
5. Inside the Genshin Impact folder, make a new folder inside it called “Genshin Impact Game”, your file structure will look like this: \Genshin Impact\Genshin Impact Game
6. Drag and drop these files from the Genshin Impact folder to Genshin Impact Game:
“GenshinImpact_Data”
“config.ini”
“GenshinImpact.Exe”
“mhyprot2.Sys”
“UnityPlayer.dll”
7. Move your ScreenShot folder somewhere on the desktop if you have it, if there isn’t one, simply ignore it
8. Launch the game.
This is the most effective way to fix the error.
If it still persists, try deleting the mihoyo folder in \Appdata\Local”
i can open it now. i tried to search for the solution online and yours are the only one different. thank you for your help! 🙂
That’s great to hear! Glad it’s working now 🙂
thx bro you save my day
Glad I could help! 😀 Enjoy!
hello! I would like to ask how to extract the files and where I should put the files.
oh right, my game launcher still says download after downloading all of the files manually.
Copy the files in the following location
C:\Program Files\Genshin Impact\Genshin Impact Game\ (or wherever you have the game installed)
Now, open the launcher, and click the Update button
thank you so much! I can now play.
That’s great to know! Enjoy the game 🙂
Hey i didn’t tried it yet but still wanna say thanks, I was downloading the files from the launcher and it downloaded the Audio files and Game Files but when the Verification error occured (this was the 4th time since 1.3) the game files were gone and the audio was the only one left, by gone I mean rather than 15 gb it says 0 kb then a few mins it now said 2 gb which I deleted(template file only), I started to lose hope and found this which was helpful, so (1st Q) I’m just wondering if the audio files I downloaded from the launcher would still work to this, also I have another important question, (2nd Q) when 1.6 comes will it still have verification error, cause my wifi is so slow and when it occurs I feel that all my patience were for nothing, if you don’t know it’s ok, but imma say again if 1.6 comes then I got the files for it, will this trick still work? configuration is on the files too… That’s my questions for now and thank you so much for helping us, and by trying hard to solve our problems/replying
Hey, thank you for the kind words.
For the first question, I think you’ll be fine with the audio files. You can compare the size to audio files on this link (I’ve written a full guide if you want to install it from scratch, and mentioned the sizes of each zip file)
https://whatifgaming.com/how-to-fix-the-genshin-impact-game-verification-error-on-pc/
Secondly, when 1.6, I’ll write a guide for that as well. If you’re on 1.5, and there isn’t an update between 1.5, and 1.6, I’ll have a guide ready for manually updating to 1.6 🙂
Once again Thank you so much!
You’re very welcome! Thank you for the kind words! 🙂
how about if i want download the 1.5 version from the beginning without the launcher?
do you have the link?can you help me?
You can follow this guide for that, it will cover the game installation from scratch
https://whatifgaming.com/how-to-fix-the-genshin-impact-game-verification-error-on-pc/
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this. I was nearly in tears trying to download the new update because it kept saying “Game files download error,” and nothing else was helping. I hope both sides of your pillow are always cold!!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m glad it’s working for you! 🙂
do you have the latest 600mb update today? thanks
Hey! I’m writing a guide for that 🙂 I’ll post the link here in a bit.
Here you go! 🙂
https://whatifgaming.com/how-to-manually-update-to-genshin-impact-1-5-1-on-pc/
Hello i’m already download all files and also put it on C:\Program Files\Genshin Impact\Genshin Impact Game, but when i click UPDATE on my Genshin Impact launcher, is still downloading. How to fix it? Thank you.
Hey, it’s probably because there’s a new update. I’m writing a guide, and will update you soon!
Okay i’ll waiting for this, thank you.

https://whatifgaming.com/how-to-fix-the-genshin-impact-game-verification-error-on-pc/
hi is it okay after i copy it into the game file and then after the game launching i delete the file
Hello! I’m having a problem. I already downloaded all 5 patches and I put them on the folder. But when I go to launcher to click update, it downloaded again from 1%. It doesn’t read the files that I put. :((((
The problem is, that miHoYo released 1.5.1, really soon after 1.5, and since a lot of users weren’t on 1.5, they are having issues with multiple updates.
First, try this,
Delete the temp files again.
Now, first, copy the files for 1.5 into the location, and then extract those.
After that, download the files from this guide (for 1.5.1), and extract those in the same location as you did for 1.5.
After you are done with that, try the launcher again.
If that doesn’t work you will have to do a fresh installation. You can follow the guide for that here, I’ve updated it for 1.5.1

Thanks for giving that link. I didn’t download all the files again, I only created a new config.ini and changed the game version into 1.5.1. It works!!!!! 😭✨
That’s good to know! Glad it worked for you 🙂
Hi please help, Everytime i open Launcher and click GET GAME, the zip file on the Genshin Impact folder is being deleted. What to do?
Hey, you might want to do a fresh installation. MiHoYo released an update 1.5.1 right after 1.5, so a lot of people who weren’t already on 1.5 are having troubles. You can follow the guide here.

Hey I have problem, I followed all the steps you mentioned but when I click on update it starts downloading 7gb please help me
The problem is, that miHoYo released 1.5.1, really soon after 1.5, and since a lot of users weren’t on 1.5, they are having issues with multiple updates.
First, try this,
Delete the temp files again.

i already following the task but the launcher won’t to extract them. when i click update, it will start from zero. why? fyi : i installed on D not C so i copied all files to D genshin impact game.
Hi, 1.5.1 is already out, which is probably why you are having this problem. I recommend doing a fresh install since you seem to be on 1.4.

Can I delete the 1.4 data files or still need in order for this guide to work?
Hey, if you still have 1.4, that means you’re on a very old update. I recommend doing a fresh install to avoid issues

Thank you so much!! This is really helps me in consuming my data in downloading such big files into smaller files, thank you! ❤️
I’m glad I could help! Enjoy the game 🙂
hi will this still work if i don’t have the 1.4 files? i didn’t update my genshin since 1.3
Hi, since you are way behind, I recommend going for a fresh installation. The guide below covers how you can manually install Genshin Impact 1.5.1 from scratch.
https://whatifgaming.com/how-to-fix-the-genshin-impact-game-verification-error-on-pc/
Will this work if you’re installing for the first time ever instead of updating?
Fresh install is estimating 1 day to install at 0.2mbps max, not including the connection error I get every 15 minutes that makes overnight instillation impossible.
If you want to do a fresh installation, you will need to follow the method in this guide

Hi, you will have to do a fresh install since 1.4 is very outdated :/
You can do so by following the manual installation bit in the guide below 🙂
