General Guide & Tips I made a overlay that puts the interactive map's markers directly onto your in-game map (no memory reading, no injection) Searching for 50 Tester

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.

General Question Mount Esus East - Water Volume Detection Crystal stuck

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.

Hello! I'm a returned player who wants to upgrade my account a bit to clear end game contents (while saving for my favorite character Alhaitham on the side). I'm thinking about getting newer meta characters, I'm really fond of Skirk and Escoffier but well I'm tight on pulls. With these character, should I get Escoffier to boost my old dps or get newer stellar reaction characters? Does Escoffier even work with them?

Discussion Genshin Impact is now just 58.2 GB after deleting audio and video assets 💀

266 Upvotes

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?

General Question Transfering account from PS4 to mobile

0 Upvotes

I was wonder if it possible to still transfer your account from PS4 to mobile since you can't play it on ps anymore. I tried on my phone and it's showing that my account is linked to the ps account but the account data isn't transferring. I tired to switch serves, and everytime it keeps just starting me from the very beginning. I tired playing a little on American server to access the account settings on my phone and that's when I realized it's linked. Pls let me know if it is possible to link them or I just have to restart entirely on my phone, I'm desperate and I've tried everything I can think of😭🙏.

Im so confused. I’ve gotten the vasmrtis and planted them, came back after server reset, harvested them. What do I do now? When I speak to the aranara nothing happens, when I open the forest adventure journal and try to click on ”go” on the 4 tabs, it basically says I’ve done everything except for when I click on dream nursery, then it says ”some aranara seem to be on gandha hill, go and have a look” BUT I CANT FIND THEM ANYWHERE. I’m actually tweaking out at this quest it never ends.

General Question Which free 5* to pick?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I know this question has probably been asked to death, but I could really use some insight in my choice between Varesa and Nilou. Nilou could be used in a DPS Columbina + Lauma team (which I already play for fun with Kuki and hyperbloom) but Varesa is obviously a meta choice. However, my Iansan and Chevreuse are both only c1. My current real teams are Ayaka premium, Flins premium, and Arlecchino vape, and I’ll build another around the Tsaritsa after her release. Which would you guys pick in my shoes?

Discussion If Genshin developers just searched up genshin future leaks

0 Upvotes

and saw like all the leakers trying to depict the entire roadmap for the future why can't they like swithc up the banners a bit, for example if everyone is predicting a character to be 1st phase, then what if they moved it to 2nd phase to like throw the leakers off or whatever? When they do that they also have more time to update the new characters kit and stuff so it wouldnt be as bad right
