The exciting new update for Zenless Zone Zero has launched, bringing enhancements to all platforms, including PC. This latest patch introduces two new S-Rank agents: Astra Yao and Evelyn. Despite miHoYo’s efforts to streamline the update experience via their unified launcher, HoyoPlay, challenges remain. To help minimize your reliance on the launcher, we’ve compiled a detailed guide on how to manually update to version 1.5 of Zenless Zone Zero on your PC.

To complete your update, you will need the patch file as well as at least one audio pack. Ensure you select the audio pack corresponding to your default Windows language.

Step 1: Start the Update in the Launcher and Pause It
Open the launcher, and it will begin updating automatically. Once the pre-installation process starts, pause the update after a few seconds (5-10).
- Click the pause icon to halt the update.
Step 2: Exit the Launcher
- Once the update is paused, close the launcher completely, ensuring it is not running in the background.
- Check via the Task Manager or look at your taskbar.
Step 3: Remove Temporary Download Files
Navigate to the Zenless Zone Zero installation directory, usually found at:
C:\Program Files\HoYoPlay\games\ZenlessZoneZeroGame
- Within the ZenlessZoneZeroGame folder, delete any temporary zip files with the “ZIP_TMP” extension.
- Sort the folder by “date modified” to easily locate the new files.
Step 4: Transfer Zip Files to the Games Folder
After cleaning up the temporary files, copy the patch file and the audio pack to the installation directory, which is typically:
C:\Program Files\HoYoPlay\games\ZenlessZoneZeroGame
Step 5: Resume the Launcher Download
With the temporary files removed and the patch files properly placed, reopen the launcher. It will automatically detect the patch files and proceed with the installation when you select “Resume” . While you can also manually extract the files, it’s typically unnecessary.
