With its cute earth and anime-inspired characters, Genshin Impact has go a huge striking. The action RPG recently released for mobile, PlayStation 4, and PC. However, some PC users ofGenshin Touch on accept reported incredibly wearisome download speeds. There may be a good reason for this, but there's thankfully an piece of cake fashion to prepare it.

Officially, developer miHoYo hasn't said why download speeds are so much slower on PC. Still, the general assumption is that it'southward because of the massive number of people trying to download the game. SinceGenshin Impact launched, it's become the biggest worldwide launch in history for a Chinese game. Because then many people are trying to play the game, the servers may have been overloaded, causing slow download speeds for its PC users.

The reasoning backside this seems pretty sound, especially considering 17 million people downloaded the costless-to-play RPG on mobile lonely. Perhaps the traffic book really is the reason download speeds are and then dull on PC. This leads to the next big question: how practise people fix information technology? Assuming they don't want to expect 10+ hours on a download, as some players have reported, then there'due south actually a pretty easy way to speed upwards Genshin Impact'south PC download.

How To Ready Genshin Impact'south Slow PC Download Speed

Surprisingly (or maybe non), the easiest ready is endmost Genshin Impact's launcher completely and so restarting information technology. However, this doesn't instantly guarantee a faster download speed on PC. In fact, some users have reported having to shut and restart the launcher a dozen or more times before the download speed picks up. The furnishings may even have a while to get noticeable, every bit some users said it took a minute or two before their download speeds jumped from 0.5 MB per second or less to closer to 2 MB per second. Granted, that's yet pretty slow - but it'southward noticeably faster.

The game also supports crossplay and even cantankerous-saves betwixt PC and mobile, so if the PC download is taking too long, people can always boot upGenshin Bear on on their phones while they wait. Other users accept reported simply pausing the launcher to end the tiresome download speed, merely that hasn't proven to work also as just closing out the launcher completely and restarting it.

It's been a week since Genshin Impact released, and people on PC are still reporting boring download speeds. This seems to indicate it isn't a glitch, as some people have speculated, since miHoYo has implemented several updates to the game in the past several days which seemingly would've fixed the issue. More than likely, it'south just because so many people are trying to download the game at the same time. Thankfully, closing and restarting the launcher is a pretty piece of cake prepare.
