Game Status v4.5.0

Scroll down for the setup instructions.

Game is playable!

Supported versions: International, China (channel 1 and 14)

Note: as reported in Issue#401, the CN game servers are likely to prevent players on Linux and macOS from logging in for unknown reasons.

Situation

Before game version 3.8.0, a patch was needed to work around the game's cheat prevention kernel service which is and will not be supported by Wine. Since version 3.8.0 no additional patches are needed and the game is playable (almost) out of the box (🎉). To get the best gaming experience please check the setup instructions below.

Game installation instructions

Please check the Game installation instructions for the minimal requirements and a guided installation of the game using Lutris, Steam, macOS or custom scripts.

Afterwards, it is recommended to execute patch.sh so that launcher.bat is generated within the game directory because all instructions assume its presence. Note: the main patch script no longer modifies any game files and is considered harmless.

Follow the script as instructed. GAMEVER stands for the game version, i.e. 3.2.0 becomes 320.

# Download the repository (or use the download button)
git clone https://notabug.org/Krock/dawn --depth 1

# Tip: Drag&drop the desired directory or file into the terminal to copy its path

cd "/path/to/Genshin Impact Game"
bash "/path/to/dawn/GAMEVER/patch.sh"

# Start the game after checking the domains
wine cmd /c launcher.bat

To stay up-to-date with the blocked domains, it is recommended to re-run the "patch" script after each game update.

Undo

Old patch residues can be removed by executing patch_revert.sh in the same manner as patch.sh above. To remove the blocked logging servers, edit /etc/hosts with superuser permissions.
