Since the last update on 29.04.2026 everything is wrong. I load my game as usual, and the game freezes. The Zoi is somehow “alive”, i.e. she is still moving and she is actually frustrated because she cannot do any action. My timer and the activities bar is completely frozen. I cannot tell my zoi to do anything. No matter where I click, nothing works.
I tried lowering the Graphics and Performance resolutions (from ultra high to Medium), and still nothing. I cannot play. It is frustrating.

I just cannot play. What happens?

I’m so sorry your game is not gaming and I’m not sure what could be causing this. My only suggestion here is to try the Emergency Rescue on your Zoi. Maybe try this and see if it resolves the issue (Psycat Guide - Click on Emergency Rescue and select your Zoi)
