With the release of Genshin Impact 4.7 just a few days away, you can now pre-load the game in preparation for its launch. However, some users may encounter difficulties with the PC version’s launcher, making it challenging to update the game. To help with this issue, this guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to manually update Genshin Impact to version 4.7 on PC.
Update Genshin Impact 4.7
Players can download the update files directly from the miHoYo servers with minimal interaction with the launcher by manually updating Genshin Impact. These files are not hosted privately and the links given are identical to the ones used by the launcher to communicate with the miHoYo servers.
Genshin Impact Patch 4.7 Files
To obtain the patch files for version 4.7, use a third-party download manager of your choice. It is important to only download one file at a time to prevent any potential corruption issues in the zip files.
To ensure proper installation, please make sure to download both the Patch file and at least one audio file pack. It is important to choose the audio pack that matches your default language on Windows.
| Patch Link | Size |
|---|---|
| Genshin Impact Patch 4.7 | 24. 36 GB |
| Chinese Audio Pack | 513.59 MB |
| English Audio Pack | 607.33 MB |
| Japanese Audio Pack | 579.81 MB |
| Korean Audio Pack | 458.70 MB |
Once the files have been downloaded, we are able to upgrade the game to version 4.7.
Step 1: Update the Launcher
The latest version of Genshin Impact should automatically download after running the launcher for the first time. It is important to note that this is the launcher version, not the game version.
Step 2: Initiate Update and Pause It
Next, simply press the Update button and wait a few seconds before pausing it.
Step 3: Exit the Launcher
Ensure that the launcher is not running in the background. Close it fully and verify if it is still visible in the taskbar.
Step 4: Delete the Chunk Folder in the Genshin Impact Game
Go to the default location where Genshin Impact is usually installed on your PC. This can be found by heading to your PC’s installation of the game.
C:\Program Files\Genshin Impact\Genshin Impact Game\
In the Genshin Impact Game directory, remove the Chunk folder. This folder contains an incomplete download.
Step 5: Adding Zip Files to the Genshin Impact Game Folder
Make sure to transfer all the zip files you have downloaded, including the 4.7 patch file and any audio packs, to the Genshin Impact Game folder. This location can be found wherever you have the game installed.
C:\Program Files\Genshin Impact\Genshin Impact Game\
Step 6: Run the Launcher and Update
Once the files have been placed, all you need to do is open the launcher and select the Update button to install the newest patch.
Simply follow these steps to manually update the latest version of Genshin Impact. If you have followed the instructions correctly, the launcher will display the message “Pre-Installation Done“. Do not extract the files until the update is officially released, as this may prevent you from playing the game. Additionally, when the patch is live, it is possible that you will need to download additional files in-game, which is a normal occurrence.
