If you get a network error while downloading Genshin Impact on PC, here are some recommended steps and checks:

• Click “Retry / Redownload” — often that’s enough to clear a temporary network hiccup.
• Check your internet connection and VPN / proxy/firewall settings — a misconfigured VPN or proxy, or a firewall blocking the game’s launcher, often causes download failures.
• Try a different version or installer — sometimes compatibility issues or corrupted installers cause download problems. Re-download the official installer from the official site and try again.
• Run the installer/launcher in Compatibility Mode or as Administrator — on Windows, right-click the launcher executable, select “Properties → Compatibility,” and then go to “Compatibility” to run it as Administrator or in a specific compatibility mode. This can resolve some download or launch errors.

• • Ensure sufficient disk space and a stable network — insufficient storage or an unstable connection can cause the download to stall or fail.
