Hey there, welcome to the inZOI forum!

I’ve moved your thread to the #Technical Help category, because this isn’t a bug but an issue related to your personal system. Thank you for understanding 🙂

This is a common issue with outdated OR corrupted graphics driver files most likely. I’ll show you the related part of an official crash guide on how to fix this issue here:

> [@Resolving Crash Issues After the Latest Update](https://forum.playinzoi.com/t/topic/6381/1):
>
> ## 3. Manually Clear PSO Cache (Shader Cache)
> 
> Crashes may occur if the graphic shader cache files are corrupted.
> 
> - ⚠ **CAUTION** : Ensure the game is completely shut down before proceeding with the steps below.
> 
> #### A. Clear Shader Cache In-Game (Recommended)
> 
> If a pop-up window appears when you launch the game asking, “Do you want to delete the PSO Cache?”, click ‘ **Yes** ’ to clear the cache. The game will automatically restart after the cache is cleared. Please check if the issue is resolved afterward.
> 
> #### B. Manually Remove Shader Cache Folders
> 
> If the in-game pop-up does not appear or does not resolve the issue, you can manually remove the cache by following the paths below.
> 
> - **Open File Explorer** : Press Windows Key + E.
> - **Navigate to Path** : Copy and paste the paths below into the File Explorer address bar and press Enter.
> - **Cache File Paths** :
> - **[AMD]**
> - `C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\AMD\DxCache`
> - `C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\AMD\DxCache`
> - `C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\D3DSCache`
> - `C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\AMD\DxcCache`
> 
> - **[NVIDIA]**
> - `C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\NVIDIA\DXCache`
> - `C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\NVIDIA\PerDriverVersion\DXCache`
> - `C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\NVIDIA\DXCache`
> - `C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\D3DSCache`
> 
> - **[Intel]**
> - `C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Intel\ShaderCache`
> - `C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\D3DSCache`
> 
> - **Locate Cache Files/Folders** : In each path, look for folders or files named ShaderCache or PSO Cache, or files within those folders.
> - **Delete Folders/Files** : Right-click the corresponding folder and files and select ‘Delete’.
> - **Restart Game** : Relaunch the game to check if the crash is resolved.  
> ❗ **Important Note** :
> - Manually deleting the shader cache will also remove cached data for **other games** that share these folders.
> - As a result, the next time you launch other games, the loading time may be longer than usual as the cache is rebuilt.
