Excitement is building as Genshin Impact approaches its latest patch, titled Moonlight Amidst Dreams. The upcoming update, version 5.4, will introduce a new character, Yumemizuki Mizuki, enriching an already expansive roster.
Although improvements have been made in the HoyoPlay launcher, users may still encounter inconsistencies when attempting to update. Fortunately, this guide offers a step-by-step process for manually updating Genshin Impact to version 5.4.
Patch Files for Genshin Impact 5.4
To begin the manual update, you need to download the necessary patch files for version 5.4. It’s highly advisable to utilize a third-party download manager instead of your standard web browser to ensure smoother downloads.
- This guide assumes that you are currently running version 5.3.
- The links provided are identical to those used by the HoyoPlay launcher to connect with miHoYo servers.
- Download one file at a time to minimize the risk of file corruption.
- Remember, you’ll need the Patch file along with at least one audio file pack.
- Select the audio pack that aligns with your Windows default language.
| Patch Link | Size |
|---|---|
| Genshin Impact Patch 5.4 | 16.75 GB |
| Chinese Audio Pack | 426 MB |
| English Audio Pack | 355 MB |
| Japanese Audio Pack | 486 MB |
| Korean Audio Pack | 410 MB |
Once you’ve successfully downloaded all the necessary files, you can proceed to update Genshin Impact to version 5.4.
Step 1: Update HoYoPlay
Open the HoYoPlay launcher to ensure it updates to the latest version automatically.
Step 2: Initiate and Pause the Update
In the HoYoPlay launcher, hit the Update button, then pause the update after a few seconds, ideally around the 2% mark.
Step 3: Completely Exit the Launcher
Close the HoYoPlay launcher thoroughly and ensure it is not running in the background. Verify this by checking the taskbar.
Step 4: Remove the Chunk Folder from the Genshin Impact Directory
Navigate to your Genshin Impact installation folder. The typical default path is:
C:\Program Files\Genshin Impact\Genshin Impact Game\
Within the Genshin Impact Game directory, locate and delete the Chunk folder, as it contains any partial downloads.
Step 5: Transfer Zip Files to the Genshin Impact Directory
- Copy all the downloaded zip files, including the 5.4 patch file and any selected audio packs.
- Paste these files into the Genshin Impact Game directory at the specified location or wherever the game is installed.
Step 6: Launch HoYoPlay and Apply the Update
Now, you can relaunch the HoYoPlay launcher and click the Update button to apply the most recent patch.
If all steps have been executed correctly, the launcher should indicate “Pre-Installation Done.”
Important: Do not extract the files manually until the update goes live. Doing so could hinder your access to the game until the official release.
