Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I get banned if I use this patch?
A: Since version 4.0.0, the main patch script no longer modifies any game files and can be considered safe.

Q: How quickly do patches get released?
A: Usually, the first testing patch is proposed within a day after the official game update which happens on Wednesday (UTC). To check for issues, the patch is tested until Saturday, after which the script is updated for normal use.

Q: Where can I use this patch?
A: On GNU/Linux distributions, but it may also work on other systems which run Wine. Windows does not need this patch and is not supported for obvious reasons.

Q: Does the patch work on macOS?
A: Yes, at least since Ventura 13.1, Wine 7.7 (CrossOver) and game version 3.4.0. Please follow INSTALLATION.md to fix many rendering issues. Note: the patch script compatibility is currently work in progress.

Q: How can I analyse my gacha wishes?
A: Obtain the URL from the CEF cache.

  1. Open the in-game wish history (table view)
  2. Extract the URL using one of the following methods:
    • Run strings $(find . -type f -wholename '*/Cache_Data/data_2' -printf "%T+ %p\n" | sort | tail -n1 | cut -d' ' -f2) | grep -o "https://.*/e20190909gacha-v2/.*" | tail -n1
      from the game installation directory
    • Run the script compat/get_gacha_url.sh
  3. Use the URL on websites like paimon.moe / genshin-wishes.com / etc

Q: How do I skip the download of unused voice-over packs?
A: Either remove them in your game settings, or:

  1. Locate the file audio_lang_* (where * stands for the newest) inside your game data files
  2. Remove the unwanted pack lines (except maybe English(US)?)
  3. Save
  4. Navigate to StreamingAssets/AudioAssets/
  5. Remove the pack directories that are no longer contained within audio_lang_*
  6. Proceed to download the other game data archives

Q: Where is output_log.txt?
A: $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/USERNAME/AppData/LocalLow/miHoYo/Genshin Impact/ where $WINEPREFIX depends on the Wine setup/configuration.

Q: Where can I find crash information?
A: A crash.dmp minidump and error.log file are saved to $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/USERNAME/Temp/mihoyocrash_*. Former can partially be analysed using winedbg or windbg depending on the progress of Wine. See also: TROUBLESHOOTING.md

Q: Where is $WINEPREFIX by default?

  • System-wide Wine installation: ~/.wine
  • Lutris: ~/Games
  • Steam: in steamapps, usually ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/ANYNUMBER
