Zenless Zone Zero 1.4 Patch Files
Your update will require the central patch file along with at least one audio file pack. Ensure that you select the audio pack that corresponds to the default language settings of your Windows operating system.
| Patch Link | Size |
|---|---|
| Zenless Zone Zero 1.3 to 1.4 | 16 GB |
| Chinese Audio Pack | 241 MB |

Step 1: Start the Update via the Launcher and Pause It
Launch the HoYoPlay application, which should automatically begin updating to the latest version. Proceed by initiating either the pre-install update or a regular update depending on your timing.
After a brief interval of 5 to 10 seconds, pause the update by selecting the appropriate icon.
Step 2: Exit the Launcher
Once the update is paused, close the launcher completely. Verify that it is not still active in the background; you can do this via the Windows Task Manager or by checking the taskbar.
Step 3: Clear Temporary Download Files
Navigate to your Zenless Zone Zero installation directory, with the default path being:
C:\Program Files\HoYoPlay\games\ZenlessZoneZeroGame
In this folder, locate and delete any temporary zip files that end with the “ZIP_TMP” extension. To facilitate this, sorting the contents by “date modified” can help you easily spot the most recent files.
Step 4: Transfer Zip Files to the Game Directory
With the temporary files cleared, copy and paste the downloaded zip files (the patch and audio files) into the same installation folder. The path again is:
C:\Program Files\HoYoPlay\games\ZenlessZoneZeroGame
Step 5: Resume the Launcher Download
Now that you’ve moved the patch files into the main folder and cleared any temporary files, reopen the launcher. HoYoPlay will automatically detect the new patch files and proceed to install the update after you click “Resume” . While you can manually extract the files, doing so is typically unnecessary.
