Download Issues and Zenless Zone Zero
One of the most frequent problems is difficulty downloading or installing the game on both PCs and mobile devices. Causes can include unstable networks, insufficient disk space, or antivirus and firewall blocks. The developer is aware of the issue and working on a fix, but players can try a few practical steps in the meantime:
- Begin by restarting the download and launcher. A simple restart often resolves a one-time crash. If the issue relates to the internet, rebooting the router can help as well.
- Check available disk space and free up space if needed. Removing unused apps or moving large files to another drive ensures updates and patches install smoothly.
- On PCs, ensure the game is allowed through firewall or antivirus settings. Sometimes security software can block downloads or installations.
If the problem occurs on a mobile device, try these steps:
- Close the Zenless Zone Zero app;
- Power cycle the modem and router, then reconnect;
- Wait a full minute before reconnecting devices;
- Let devices finish booting and try again to download Zenless Zone Zero.

This issue affects PC users primarily. Start by rebooting the computer and launching the game as an administrator. Navigate to the game folder and run the executable in compatibility mode with an older Windows version, such as 7 or 8. Disable full screen optimization in compatibility settings. Applications like Discord or Nvidia GeForce Experience often include overlays that can cause conflicts. Disable those overlays and try again.
Additional steps to try:
- Update graphics drivers to the latest version from Nvidia, AMD, or Intel.
- Check the integrity of game files through the launcher. Use the settings option to run a diagnostic and fix any issues.
- Run the game as administrator from its main folder.
- Temporarily disable third-party antivirus. If this helps, add the game executable to the exclusion list.
- Allow Zenless Zone Zero through firewall permissions by marking it as private and public so online play remains unaffected.

- Open the launcher and tap the three horizontal lines in the lower right corner.
- Go to Game Settings and then Open Catalog.
- Copy the path to the executable. If a tool isn’t visible, select Characteristics and copy the path.
- Create a new shortcut and paste the copied path. Ensure the path ends with ZenlessZoneZero.exe; if not, add it manually on Windows 10.
- After the path, press the space bar and add -force-d3d12 at the end. Then click Further.
- Give the shortcut a name and finish. Use this new shortcut to start the game from now on.
