How to Fix Bugs and Glitches in Update 3.0

Update 3.0 of Genshin Impact has been mostly nothing out of common practice with miHoYo’s other updates. Reportedly, only a few users have had issues with audio cutting out, cutscenes repeating, loading screens not concluding and severe lag occurring since the update. If you happen to be one of those unfortunate victims, then you have come to the right place. The usual suspects may be at play here then, and nothing in the grander scheme of things is affecting players of the game on a global scale since update 3.0 has happened.

Suggestion one – reboot or reinstall

So if you happen to experience any kind of in-game issue involving performance, crashes and any other kind of one-off glitches, the very first cause for action is a simple reboot. More often than not, any issues coming from an online game is in need of just exiting the game, restarting your device, or even deleting the game app entirely and reinstalling it if the first option does not work out. This is the case for the game no matter its platform, so keep this as the go-to problem solver even if you are playing on mobile versus the PlayStation or PC.

Suggestion two – storage space cleanout

As a second consideration, always keep in mind the storage on your device. Too often and too easily does storage space get taken up with update after update these days in our hobby of gaming, and these can quickly and easily wind down whatever platform and system you are using. If it is slowing down the performance of the game due to this, it is easy to take note of and improve its performance.

Simply locate where your storage space can be found on your platform of choice. If there is any indicator to worry about your device being low on space, consider deleting any apps you are not using. Remember that with each passing month and rolling update, Genshin Impact will continue to grow in size, so always double-check your storage space so that you have enough space to smoothly download the update and to avoid overwhelming your device.

Suggestion three – updating the driver

Our final suggestion if neither of these actions work is another simple one – update the GPU driver. Graphic drivers may need a once-over when new updates come. All you need to do is press win+r, enter devmgmt.msc and then press enter. Under the display adapters section, right-click your graphics card and select Properties. From there simply select Driver, then Update Driver and select the automatic update option. Follow the instruction prompts until fully completed.

Other comments and if none of these suggestions help

It really is that simple with any of these options since update 3.0 is not unlike any other usual update the game has previously had for the majority of players. A few of these hiccups with a small number of players have not been game-breaking but are instead tedious to experience, and if they happen to affect you, always consider simply exiting the game or continuing through it until these brief glitches come to pass.

In case you happen to be a new player coming from or for this particular update, ensure to check if your device can run the game. Finally, remember just how many individuals are currently playing Genshin Impact, and with a newly implemented update, these numbers tend to always rise and can even hit an all-time high, especially in its first day of installation of active players. Too many players in one server tend to slow everything down.

However, if for whatever reason a mere exit out of the game, restart, or reboot does not correct your gameplay experience, consider reaching out to miHoYo themselves via their email address, social accounts, and in-game feedback form.
