The “Checking Resource Integrity” concern in Zenless Zone Zero occurs when the launcher retains verifying sport assets repeatedly, takes for much longer than regular to end, or seems caught at values reminiscent of 0.00% or 99.99%. This verify is supposed to verify that every one required sport recordsdata are current, readable, up to date, and never corrupted earlier than the sport launches.

This drawback is mostly attributable to corrupted or incomplete sport knowledge, launcher cache points, lacking permissions, recordsdata that stay locked after the sport was not closed correctly, low free disk area, or sluggish storage efficiency throughout giant file checks. In some instances, the launcher may look frozen regardless that it’s nonetheless actively studying and validating recordsdata in the background.

1. Run the Game and Launcher as Administrator

If the launcher doesn’t have sufficient permission to learn, confirm, restore, or substitute recordsdata inside the sport folder, the integrity verify might fail, restart, or cease at a selected share.

Running the launcher as administrator provides it the entry it wants to work with the sport recordsdata correctly.

1. Completely shut Zenless Zone Zero and its launcher.
2. Open Task Manager and ensure no Zenless Zone Zero, HoYoPlay, or associated launcher processes are nonetheless working.
3. Right-click the launcher shortcut or executable file.
4. Select Run as administrator.
5. If the sport launches via a separate executable, right-click that file as effectively and run it as administrator.

If this works, you can also make it everlasting by right-clicking the launcher, choosing Properties, opening the Compatibility tab, and enabling Run this program as an administrator.

2. Close the Game Properly Through the Main Menu

This methodology solely applies if the sport nonetheless opens and the issue seems on the subsequent launch.

If the sport was force-closed with Alt + F4, Task Manager, or after a crash, some background processes might stay energetic or sure recordsdata might not shut cleanly. When you launch the sport once more, the integrity verify can loop or dangle as a result of the launcher is making an attempt to confirm recordsdata that weren’t shut down correctly.

Closing the sport via its personal menu helps be certain that session knowledge and background processes finish usually earlier than the subsequent launch.

1. Open the in-game menu.
   
2. Click More.
   
3. Select Logout.
   
4. Confirm the logout.
   
5. Click the yellow energy button to shut the sport.
   
6. Confirm that you really want to stop.
   
7. Wait just a few seconds earlier than reopening the launcher.

3. Free Up Disk Space

The launcher wants free area to evaluate recordsdata, unpack knowledge, rewrite broken recordsdata, and retailer non permanent knowledge throughout verification. If the drive is sort of full, the integrity verify can grow to be extraordinarily sluggish, fail close to the top, or maintain repeating.

As a sensible rule, strive to maintain a minimum of 20 GB to 30 GB of free area out there on the drive the place the sport is put in. More is even higher after a serious sport replace, since giant recordsdata might have to be unpacked or changed quickly through the verify.

If your out there area is low, clear sufficient room, restart the launcher, after which let the verify run once more with out interruption.

4. Delete and Replace the “Remote” Files

If the difficulty began after an replace and the launcher retains looping at 0.00% or 99.99%, one potential trigger is broken or outdated distant-related knowledge inside the sport’s Persistent folder. These recordsdata seem to be associated to useful resource monitoring, manifests, or cached replace data utilized by the launcher throughout verification.

If that knowledge turns into corrupted or mismatched after an replace, the launcher might proceed referencing dangerous useful resource data and fail to full the integrity verify correctly. Replacing these recordsdata with working copies can typically pressure the launcher to use corrected knowledge and proceed usually.

Important: This is a complicated neighborhood workaround, not an official repair from HoYoverse. Only use it if the sooner strategies don’t assist. Because it includes recordsdata from a third-party supply, you need to confirm what you might be downloading, perceive that unofficial recordsdata all the time carry some danger, and keep away from utilizing this methodology except you might be comfy making guide adjustments inside the sport listing.

You also needs to solely delete recordsdata that clearly include the phrase distant in their names contained in the Persistent folder. If these recordsdata don’t exist, or your folder construction appears to be like completely different, don’t guess. Skip this methodology and transfer to the later choices as a substitute.

1. Make certain the sport is persistently getting caught at 0% or 99.99%.
2. Download the community-provided recordsdata.
   
3. In the launcher, go to Settings > Open Directory.
   
4. Open the Persistent folder.
   
5. Delete solely the recordsdata that include the phrase distant in their names.
6. Extract the downloaded recordsdata into that very same Persistent folder.
7. Choose Replace if Windows asks whether or not you need to overwrite the recordsdata.
8. Launch the sport once more and verify whether or not the verification course of now completes usually.

If the issue nonetheless continues after making an attempt all the strategies above, the remaining potentialities are normally deeper sport knowledge corruption or a launcher-side concern. In that case, one of the best subsequent step is to totally reinstall Zenless Zone Zero and its launcher.

When reinstalling, uninstall each the sport and the launcher, then verify whether or not any leftover sport folders nonetheless stay in the set up listing earlier than putting in once more. After reinstalling, check the sport first earlier than copying again any outdated recordsdata or manually restoring something from the earlier set up.
