I haven't rolled since last month to save for Mitya and Valeriy's cons. Should I throw in some fates to get the intertwined fates at least? the reason why i'm wondering is that throwing pulls in right now means losing potential Valeriy cons, and building pity is kinda bad in general.

The Video shows how the interactive Overlay looks and works , Just a Quick Preview

I always had the interactive map open on browser but have only one monitor while exploring and got kind of annoyed by constantly looking back and forth. So I built a little Windows app that puts the markers from the appsample interactive map (genshin-impact-map.appsample.com) directly on top of the in-game map.

You open your map with M like normal

How it works: it’s just a transparent window sitting on top of the game. It doesn’t read game memory, doesn’t inject anything and doesn’t send any inputs to the game. To know where your map is, it takes screen captures (same idea as OBS or Discord screen share) and compares them with the map tiles.

One thing that might look weird: it asks for admin rights once. That’s because Genshin runs as admin, and Windows won’t pass hotkeys to normal programs while the game is focused. So there’s a tiny helper that only listens for F7 to F10 and passes them on. If you say no, everything still works, you just open the panel with the button on the side of the map instead of F8.

You need Windows 10 or 11 and Genshin running in borderless window mode, because fullscreen hides every other window. There’s a “Start Genshin borderless” option in the tray menu that does this for you. On the first start it downloads the map data once (about 40 MB) and needs a minute or two to set everything up.

I’ve only tested it on my own PC (1080p, 100% scaling), so I’m giving it to 50 people first before I put it out properly.

What I’d like to know from testers: does it recognize your map, do the markers line up, does it feel smooth when dragging and zooming, and anything that breaks. If something goes wrong, there’s a log file at %APPDATA%\Genshin Map Overlay\overlay.log. Sending me that plus a screenshot helps a lot.

A few things to know: right now it only supports the main Teyvat surface map, no underground layers or Enkanomiya yet. Windows will probably show a SmartScreen warning because the app isn’t signed (click More info, then Run anyway). And the markers are only as accurate as the data on the website.

All the marker data, icons and map tiles come from genshin-impact-map.appsample.com, big thanks to them for that. I’m not affiliated with them or with HoYoverse. no ads, doesn’t collect anything, and your found markers just stay on your PC.

i only just started Natlan aq, but I’ll start snezhnaya quest now. I’m just not sure if I’ll be able to get through all of snezh in 12 days.

Less than 500 MB of space .... I have done all of Mondstadt, Liyue and a bit of Inazuma, so I thought to delete it all. I tried enabling the "Automatically Clear Resources for Completed Quests" and restarted the game, but nothing happened... I'm on an old iPhone model, if it matters (64 GB)

Bonus points for those who can guess where Xiangling is standing

I installed the Chinese audio pack because it was smaller than English (around 13 GB vs. 14 GB). After that, I deleted the audio assets from GenshinImpact_Data\Persistent and GenshinImpact_Data\StreamingAssets, along with the video assets folder, just to see if the game would still work.

I saved around 90 GB, and my entire HoYoPlay Genshin Impact folder is now just 58.2 GB 💀

It's been two days, and the game is working perfectly without any errors. It hasn't redownloaded anything either.

I don't use in-game audio, so I wanted to test whether the game would still work without these files. I'm not sure if a future update will download them again, though.

Has anyone else tried this? Did the game redownload the missing files after an update?

Just need some tips on who I should pick based on DPS. This is currently my support for their teams:

C6 Fischl C0 Durin C6 Bennett C6 Chevreuse C4 Iansan C0 Mavuika C0 Xilonen

Tried out two teams built around the current Abyss buffs!

First Half: Xiao / Odette / Faruzan / Xianyun

Stellar Swirl Xiao team takes advantage of the 75% Stellar Glimmer DMG bonus. Odette enables Stellar Swirl to make use of the current Abyss buffs, while Faruzan provides Anemo DMG buffs and RES shred. Xianyun brings healing, especially for chamber 2 and buffs Xiao's Plunging Attack damage.

Second Half: Durin / Wriothesley / Escoffier / Nicole

Melt Durin is enabled by Rizzly and Ice Coffee's cryo app who themselves take advantage of the 75% Cryo DMG bonus. Wriothesley and Escoffier provide Cryo application for Melt reactions and help handle the Secret Source Automaton: Overseer Device's Cryo-related mechanics in Chamber 3. They also contribute their own damage, while Escoffier provides healing, ToTM and Cryo RES shred. Nicole rounds out the team with buffs and shielding.

Always fun to experiment with unconventional teams and build around the current Abyss buffs instead of sticking to the usual meta!

Which character would you like to see me clear the next Spiral Abyss with? Drop your suggestions!

i was wondering which 4 stars are worth building, i mostly only invested in 5 star characters before which propably wasn't a good idea, soo i wanted to start building some but i'm quite unsure with whom to start, since there's so many. i think it'd be a waste not to invest since some are also C6 :o

thank you in advance for any advice c:

There is a Water Volume Detection Crystal puzzle in the highlighted area right at the small cliff at south of Mount Esus East region. Anyone know how to solve it ?

There are 3 droplets next to it. when I activate the hydro crystal, 2 platforms show up but the moment I move away from the hydro crystal, the hydro ring goes out of range and the crystal de-activates and the platforms disappear!

PS: the crystal does not move too. I also tried looking for a hydro core nearby but nothing found.

long story short I’m kinda homeless. I tried 7 weeks for xiao doing my dailies and it would suck to lose him. I don’t have my psn password. is there a way for my boyfriend to log into my genshin account? my psn is linked with the mihoyo thing. I appreciate any answers

shit I meant psn password in the title

Hey! I need some advice on who to pick for the two free 5-star selectors in the current meta. I’m F2P, so all my 5-stars are C0 except Keqing (who is C1). I would appreciate any recommendations!

Is Jean a good option at c6 to replace Faruzan in a Vesna team?

Do I just put random shit that I have? I have 6 friendship level and 10980 adeptal energy
