Developers at miHoYo have released the anticipated 3.0 update forGenshin Impactthat includes several big additions, quality of life changes, and more that players can explore once they have downloaded the hefty patch. One huge improvement withGenshin Impact3.0 is a change to Yelan’s movement that makes the Hydro character much more mobile.
SinceGenshin Impact3.0was released on Monday, fans of the miHoYo action RPG have noted numerous smaller adjustments in the game beyond all the new content introduced with the patch. Reddit user Chomusucc recently shared a clip of their adventure inGenshin Impactin which they reveal that a bug associated with Yelan’s traversal mechanics has been fixed as of the 3.0 update. Prior toGenshin Impact3.0, Yelan was among a short list of playable characters like Ayaka, Mona, and Sayu that got stuck on countless ground objects and clutter, to the point where some players didn’t discover new areas with the Hydro hero.

Chomusucc’s clip focuses on Yelan, and it begins with the player exploring one of the wide-open areas in her alternate sprint form for thisGenshin ImpactHydro character, immediately running over ground clutter to illustrate the control difference implemented with the 3.0 patch. Chomusucc briefly stops sprinting after climbing a set of stairs and several boulders without any pause or stumbles then the player circles back around by running across all obstructions in the way, continuing to highlight that the character no longer gets stopped by small objects. According to the player in this clip, the pre-Genshin Impact3.0 version of Yelan would get “stuck on the slightest pixel protruding from the ground,” which is noticeably not a problem in this video.
Given that the populatedGenshin Impact3.0 zone of Sumeruis full of ground clutter, such as zones like Inazuma and Liyue, the quality of life improvement for Yelan’s movement is being celebrated by a plethora of fans, including Chomusucc. Chomusucc’s clip shows Yelan running over at least a dozen objects in the brief period of time it encapsulates, resulting in far fewer stutters than the Hydro character would have otherwise encountered before the recent patch. Although some fans have suggested the bug fix is across the board withGenshin Impact 3.0, it’s currently unclear if all characters that were impacted by it have seen the same adjustment.
Several fans took to Chomusucc’s video to express their joy for the quality of life change toGenshin Impact’s Yelanwith the3.0 update, while others suggested that this bug should’ve been fixed sooner. A handful ofGenshin Impactplayers suggested that this one alteration to the game is enough to make them change their mains to characters that were previously hindered by the issue illustrated by Chomusucc.
