The latest major update forHonkai Star Rail, Paean of Era Nova, has finally arrived. Now updated to version 3.0, the patch introduces The Herta and Aglaea as the newest characters to join its ever-growing roster. Unfortunately, the unified HoyoPlay launcher continues to be a hit-or-miss for many players when successfully updating to the latest release. Here is how you can manually update to the Honkai: Star Rail version 3.0 on PC.

When you have the necessary patch files, we can now use the launcher to update Honkai Star Rail.
Step 1: Initiate the Update in the Launcher
Step 2: Exit the Launcher
Step 3: Move Zip Files to Games Folder
Now, move the zip files to theGamesfolder where Honkai: Star Rail is installed on your PC. The default location is the following:
Replace any temporary files (uncomplete_tmp) while you move the files.
Step 4: Resume the Launcher Download
With the patch files copied to the installation location, you need to run the launcher again and resume the download. The launcher will automatically detect the downloaded files, and install those for the update.
Do not manually extract the files before the maintenance or you will be unable to play until the upcoming maintenance ends.
That’s all you need to do, and Honkai: Stari Rail will be updated to version 3.0 on your PC. When you launch the game, some additional files may be downloaded, which is completely normal.
