How to Manually Update to Honkai Star Rail 2.3 on PC

The latest version of Honkai Impact 3rd is now available on PC and other platforms. The new update brings new content to explore, characters to try, and loot to win. Although miHoYo has updated the launcher, there are still some technical issues that make it difficult to actually update the game. This guide will walk you through the steps to manually update Honkai Impact 3rd to version 2.3 on PC.

Manually update to Honkai Impact 2.3

Using this method, you can download the patch files directly from the miHoYo servers without using the launcher. These files are the same files that the launcher uses, and we do not host them privately.

Note: This guide assumes that your PC version of Honkai Impact 3rd is 2.2

Download the following 2.3 patch files using a third-party download manager of your choice. Download only one file at a time to avoid zip file corruption issues.

You need the patch file and at least one audio file pack. Make sure to download the audio pack that corresponds to your Windows default language.

Step 1Start the update in the launcher

First, make sure the launcher is updated. It will automatically update when you run the launcher. After the launcher is updated, it will start downloading the new patch. After a few seconds, pause the update.

Step 2: Exit the Launcher

After pausing the updates, go ahead and quit the launcher. Make sure it’s not running in the background as well.

Step 3: Move the Zip file to the game folder

Now, move the zip file to the game folder where Honkai Star Rail is installed on your PC. Replace all temporary files (uncomplete_tmp).

Step 4Resume Launcher Download

Finally, run the launcher again and resume the download. The launcher will automatically detect the downloaded file.

That’s all you need to do and you should be able to launch version 2.3 without any problems. However, after this, the launcher may download some additional files. This is completely normal and small patches are common. We hope that miHoYo will continue to improve their launcher in the future so that players with unstable connections can also update their games easily.
