In Genshin Impact, exploration is a key aspect of the open-world action-adventure game, but a frustrating bug can hinder the gameplay experience. The game includes a stamina meter that is essential for activities such as running, climbing, and swimming. As players traverse the vast world, they must manage their stamina carefully to avoid running out at critical moments, which can result in character knockouts and fatal falls from great heights. Normally, stamina replenishes over time with a brief pause, but unfortunately, a bug in Genshin Impact can disable this feature, leaving players unable to continue their journey.
A Reddit user by the name of Kodoku94 recently shared a clip from Genshin Impact that showcases a bug where the character Hu Tao doesn't appear to be regenerating stamina despite standing still. The player remains in the same spot for approximately nine seconds, but their stamina bar fails to fill up. After attempting various methods of fixing the issue, including killing off the entire team, Kodoku94 found that logging in again resolved the problem. It's worth noting that some users in the comments section had also experienced this issue before, but restarting the game appeared to be a successful solution. One player even reported being unable to switch characters in Genshin Impact due to the bug, and thus had no choice but to restart the game.
Several comments on the post were filled with humorous quips. One gamer jokingly suggested that Kodoku94 had exhausted their daily stamina regen limit and would have to wait until the next day for it to recharge. Others chimed in, noting that the stamina shown was typical for players using Hu Tao in Genshin Impact. Another fan went a step further, playfully stating that the stamina bar showcased in the post mirrored their own if they were a playable character in the game.
Although Genshin Impact does not appear to have many major bugs at present, this incident serves as a reminder that any game can experience issues. Additional examples of bugs in Genshin Impact include players encountering an issue where Barbara had infinite Bloom potential and another where five active party members could be used.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
