Genshin Impact Connection Failed and Slow Download

The official twitter handle for Genshin Impact hasn't updated anything about the slow download speeds, but everyone in the community forums has been suggesting that it is slow because a large number of people are trying to install it all at the same time.

Players have been also complaining due to the slow speeds and have suggested that instead of releasing on their official website, the game should have been released on Steam. Some of the community members on Reddit also suggested to pause the download and resume again, which has helped many.

For the people who are getting Genshin Impact server issues like 404 error on the main website, it also can be due to the extremely high amount of traffic on the website. So it is suggested to check back later. Also, it is recommended that the game isn't downloaded via any links posted elsewhere as they might contain malicious software.
