Fix Zenless Zone Zero crash at the start of the game 

The command in the game is forcing the game to run using Directx 12. It is only shortcut, so there's no change in the file game itself. If you run the game via Hoyoplay launcher, it will run the game by default setting from hoyoverse. Also, if the game have update patch (update that needed to download from launcher), then you can't playing using shortcut and need to update it from launcher first. If you encounter random crash after several minutes playing using this, then this is expected. Because we forcing it to play in directx 12, the game will be unstable. You can try to install Directx 12 and Microsoft Visual C++ from microsoft website You can also try update your vga driver or reinstall your vga driver and see if its fixed without need to use this command. If you have 2 gpu driver (example, Intel iGPU and Nvidia which usually in laptop), then you can try this. Go to windows - search graphics setting - Try to find ZenlessZenZero in there - if ZenlesszenZero not showing up, go to "Browse" button and find the location of ZenlessZenZero.exe - After found, click add - back to graphics setting, choose ZenlessZenZero.exe and Click option - Change it to High performance which is usually using your main gpu So lets talk about some problem and is it fixable or not. -If you able to play the game and crash immidiately after you control the character, then you can go to "gear" icon at login screen and try to lower and disable everything in graphics setting. If its still crash, then sadly no fix for now. -If you're stuck at checking resource integrity. Please check if your cpu has 4 core or not. Because based on this thread : www.reddit.com/r/ZenlessZoneZero/comments/1dto5b0/checking_resources_integrity_screen_stuck_at_0/ If your cpu has 2 core, then sadly you can't play the game and it will stuck in there. No solution yet, but someone suggest that play it in emulator and change the core at emulator setting to 3 or 4. Still don't know if this work or not. -If the cutscene is lag, this is probably the same problem that hsr have before. You can try to disable shadow and see if its fixed or not. But, if itsn't , then you can't do anything until hoyo fix it (hsr got fixed in the next update after this happen, so expect same thing). If everything after this and it still crash, then you're out of option, sorry but i don't have a way to fix this. The only thing is to wait the dev to fix it (if they plan to fix it, but so far no confirmation). You can try to play at emulator for last chance. But, since most of people that has this issue are using low end hardware, then expect performance issue if you play it on emulator.

I'm sorry if it sounds cruel but it calms me to know that there are more people with this problem lmao, the same thing happened to me in hsr when they launched the Ruan Mei area in the space station, the game crashed every time I went there, it was solved alone a couple of weeks later, so I guess we have to wait for Hoyo to solve it

i’ve been suffering all day so thank you for this 😭😭 at least it’s not just me who’s had this problem so it’s not an issue on my end. it’s ridiculous that we have to do workarounds like this but hopefully hoyo actually do something about it soon. you’re a lifesaver dude 😭

It worked! At least until the main menu hahah! Let's see if the rest works too

made my day

But then when gameplay starts, after the Cunning Hares fall in the Hollow it crashes the exact same way, what about that?

I tried it and I went past the loading screen...but during the story mode character tutorials, it crashes again

I'm stuck at checking file integrity, how to fix it??

100% works for my pc .. tnx a lot

When I try to register and get the verification code it gives me a reCAPTCHA I’ve never seen before and can’t solve

THANKSSSSSS IT WORKSSS

THAAANNNNKKSSSSS, THIS HELP ME SOOO MUCH ❤❤❤❤

It still doesn't work for me, when it didn't want to load, it was fixed, but when I was already on the tutorial it already broke, I hope it will be fixed in the next updates

ok but what do I do if my computer doesn't show a "shortcut" option when I click on the "new" button lol

thank you so much

TYSM BROO ITS WORKINGGGGGGGG

I think since my computer has a ram of 3.9GB and the requirements is 4GB i dont think this will work on me 😢

0:01 Yeah, this is our only option left. Considering this game was just released we'll just wait for Hoyo to get about most of our messages of ZZZ crashing and hopefull they will fix this. (I did follow the steps, but it kept crashing at the first battle, but at least I manage to pick my mc. Thanks for the tutorial btw)

thanks bro❤️

bro, you are the best, your method worked for me, but how did you manage to find that solution because it is extraordinary hahaha

Now I can open the game but still it crushes after the cutscene end

Hello, (I'm Brazilian and I don't know how to speak English) my problem is the part where you have to check the integrity of the files, whenever you get to that part the game simply doesn't progress at all, what could it be?

Omg thank you so much for helping meeee

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ADVICE I'VE BEEN STRUGGELING SO HARD ENTERING THE GAME SINCE THE RELEASE Let's just hope it doesn't crash while playing Edit: Sadly it keeps on crashing when I'm abt to play as anby

doesnt work for me, still crashes at the same place (same as you at the start of the video)

Thanks))) IT IS ACTUALY WORKED))))) Now i can actualy play not only on my desktop.

I can't create a new shortcut, any help with that please?

GOD THANK YOU

It worked for me, but when the game downloads the resources, which are approximately 300MB, it says "Verifying file integrity" and it doesn't go beyond that. Do you know how to solve it?
