Hey there, welcome to the inZOI forum!

Thank you for reporting this bug. I assume, it’s very similar to this one reported by another user:

Can No Longer Build

Here’s a short-term solution. Can you please try this in your game and see whether it begins to behave just like in the other thread? That’d really help to figure out if it’s exactly the same bug:

A long-term solution was added, but we’re not aware if it worked. Please try it in your game too:

Hi!!

So I just tried all of those steps and watched the video. But, my game is still freezing.

My issue is not exactly like the other community member’s post. My issue happens even after just clicking 1 wall or floor.

You’re using the “normal” inZOI version, right? Not the beta engine_upgrade one.

Could you switch to the 2025-12-22 version? It’s listed in the Steam inZOI settings → versions & betas → “2025-12-22 Older version of inZOI”? It’ll help you to be able to play the game without the lags until a new patch for this new version gets released. Unfortunately, that’s the only workaround I can think of right now :thinking:

Yes, I’m using the normal Inzoi version… However, I first experienced this error while using the BETA version.

Have you verified the files via Steam yet? If you haven’t done this before, here’s a short guide on how to do it: # How to verify your game viles via steam

Hi there. This is exactly what I was experiencing just before I was no longer able to get into build mode. But in Cahaya. I did all the previous steps that that allowed me to get into build mode. But this still happens intermittingly. I think it is something with the auto save. This is what I have been doing to bypass the issue.

  1. If it freezes your computer, do the hard re-start
  2. When you re-enter build mode
  3. Click on the tile with no image
  4. Install that pre-set
  5. Once it installs delete the ones that have no image
  6. Keep building and when you exit your game go into your saved pre-sets and delete the presets that are missing the thumbnail(s)

Also fi I know I am going to be building for a while I also change the auto save settings :grin: Happy Zoi’ing

Omg!! Thank you soooo much!! This actually worked!!

–→ I also completely disabled “Auto-saving”.. I will reenable it once I’m done building,

I really hope they find a fix for this issue.

Thanks again!! :blue_heart:

**Update: The problem still occurs. However, I am able to build for a little longer before it happens again. :upside_down_face:

I’m happy it worked. Try saving while you are building. I also delete all the previous saved versions in the pre-sets. It takes up memory
