Zenless Zone Zero Fixes Bug, Saves Christmas for Gooner Fans

Dec 19, 2024 10:08 AM

The latest update for Zenless Zone Zero, Version 1.4, sparked controversy among players due to a bug that altered camera angles, limiting the ability to achieve close-up views of characters. This change elicited strong reactions on social media, where players expressed outrage over losing these views, often citing censorship concerns. Developer HoYoverse clarified the modification was meant to resolve clipping issues with character models, particularly for larger characters, which caused some technical mishaps. They have since acknowledged the uproar and announced that fixes are forthcoming, along with compensation in the form of in-game currency to placate the community. The developer's response has reignited joy among fans, as they find a middle ground that satisfies both gameplay quality and their previous viewing pleasures.

What prompted the controversy in Zenless Zone Zero's Update 1.4?

The controversy arose from a bug in Update 1.4 that limited camera angles, preventing players from getting close-up views of their avatars, which many players enjoyed. The change led to discontent within the community until the developer clarified it was a bug and not a deliberate action.

Zenless Zone Zero is an action RPG developed by HoYoverse, the creators behind the wildly successful Genshin Impact. It combines urban fantasy elements with fast-paced combat, and has quickly garnered a dedicated fanbase. Released initially in late 2024, the game has achieved notable financial success, making it an attractive title in the competitive landscape of mobile and PC gaming.
