Overview
inZOI is in Early Access, which means bugs and glitches are expected as KRAFTON continues developing the game. This page documents the most significant known issues along with any available workarounds. The development team maintains an official known issues list on the inZOI Forums and regularly addresses bugs through patches. The game is currently on version 0.6.x, with an Unreal Engine 5.6 upgrade being tested for the March 2026 update.
Because inZOI is updated frequently, some bugs listed here may already be fixed in the latest patch. Check the official patch notes for the most current information.
How to Report Bugs
Use the Bug Reports section on the official inZOI Forums at forum.playinzoi.com.
Include your game version, system specs, and steps to reproduce the issue.
Attach screenshots or video if possible.
Emergency Rescue
Many bugs that leave a Zoi stuck or unresponsive can be resolved using the Emergency Rescue feature. Open Psycat's Guide (the book icon in the UI), click the red Emergency Rescue button, and select the stuck Zoi. This teleports the Zoi to a nearby valid location, breaking most stuck states. Emergency Rescue does not work in every situation (notably the Ghost Play bug), but it should be your first troubleshooting step.
Gameplay Bugs
Bug | Description | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
Furniture Workbench Freeze | Using the Furniture Workbench causes the Zoi to become permanently stuck and unable to perform any actions. Build Mode also becomes unusable on that lot. | Reload a save from before placing the Furniture Workbench. Emergency Rescue can free the Zoi but Build Mode remains broken. |
Ghost Play Mode | Pressing Escape while selecting "Play with your original family" after a Zoi dies triggers an unfinished Ghost Play mode. The deceased Zoi becomes playable without a visible model, and the player cannot access Build Mode or control the Zoi normally. | Reload a save from before the death. Emergency Rescue does not work in this state. |
Business Sold on Marriage | A Zoi's business properties may be forcibly sold when they get married while owning a business. | Check the transfer option in the Move pop-up when getting married. Save before marriage events. |
CEO Meow Coins Not Appearing | Meow Coins earned as the CEO of Adam Entertainment do not appear in the Zoi Card balance. | No workaround available. The earned coins are lost. |
Organ Donation Pledge Not Registering | Pledging to donate organs does not count toward the Philanthropist goal under the Community Contribution Ambition. | Reload a save from before pledging and use alternative methods to fulfill the goal. |
Pregnancy Birth Failure | Pregnant Zois may intermittently fail to give birth under certain conditions. | Partially fixed in v0.6.0. If it occurs, reload a save from earlier in the pregnancy. |
Social Event Guests Not Leaving | Guest Zois may remain on the lot after a social event ends instead of leaving. | Travel to another lot and return, or save and reload. |
Smart Zoi Employee Task Failure | Employees at businesses may not perform assigned tasks correctly when Smart Zoi is enabled. | Disable Smart Zoi for business employees or manually assign tasks. |
Convenience Store Autonomy Conflict | Disabling autonomy at a convenience store cancels current tasks and starts different ones. | Keep autonomy enabled during store shifts, or manually reassign tasks after disabling. |
Shelf Restocking Loop | Zois repeatedly attempt to restock shelves when customers are blocking access. | Move the customer away or wait for them to leave the area. |
Interaction Bugs
Bug | Description | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
Cannot Click or Interact With Other Zois | Other Zois in the world cannot be clicked or interacted with by the active Zoi. | Disable Occlusion Method in Options, then Graphics tab. Set it to Off. See the Performance and Optimization Guide for details. |
"You Cannot Use This" Error | Appears when photographing a Zoi holding a white cat doll, or when using a fridge that another Zoi is already using. | Switch control to another Zoi temporarily, then switch back. |
Cannot Use Computer | Zoi cannot interact with a computer due to misaligned chair positioning. | Move the chair slightly outward from the desk and then push it back in. This resets the seating alignment. |
Same-Sex Relationships With Premade Zois | Players cannot form same-sex relationships with the premade Zois in cities. Only custom-created Zois support same-sex romance. | No workaround. Acknowledged by the development team as a known issue. |
Objects Vanish During Conversations | Objects held in a Zoi's hands temporarily disappear during conversations. | Cosmetic only. Objects reappear when the conversation ends. |
Book Folding Loop | Zois repeatedly fold and unfold books while talking instead of holding them naturally. | Cosmetic only. Does not affect gameplay. |
Movement and Vehicle Bugs
Bug | Description | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
Stuck in Car | The Zoi is unable to exit a vehicle because the exit option disappears. | Use Emergency Rescue in Psycat's Guide to teleport the Zoi outside the car. |
Zoi Stuck in Animation Loop | A Zoi becomes frozen in place or stuck repeating the same animation, unable to perform other actions. | Use Emergency Rescue. If that fails, save and reload. |
Public Transportation Exit Glitch | A visual glitch occurs when exiting public transportation. | Cosmetic only. Does not affect gameplay. |
Zois Trapped Under Stairs | Zois can become trapped under stairs at certain Bliss Bay locations. | Use Emergency Rescue to relocate the Zoi. Fixed for some locations in v0.6.0. |
Visual and Graphics Bugs
Bug | Description | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
Ghosting / Double Vision Effect | A double vision or trailing effect appears when Zois or objects move. | Change Anti-Aliasing from TAA to TSR in the Graphics settings. Disable Frame Generation if the issue persists. |
Blurry Graphics | The game appears blurry, especially text and distant objects. | Set Resolution Scale to 100% in Graphics options. If using DLSS or FSR, switch to Quality mode or higher. |
Cahaya Lighting Flicker | Lights flicker abnormally on Cahaya when using High or Ultra graphics presets. | Lower the graphics preset to Medium for Cahaya, or reduce lighting-related settings. |
Light Leaking Through Walls | Light from exterior sources bleeds through building walls in Build Mode. | Adjust wall placement or add interior lighting to mask the effect. A known Unreal Engine limitation. |
Nanite Artifacts on High/Ultra | Visual artifacts appear on geometry when using High or Ultra presets, caused by Nanite virtualized geometry. | Lower the preset to Medium, or update GPU drivers. An Unreal Engine 5 rendering issue. |
Build Mode Bugs
Bug | Description | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
Partial Floor Disappearance | Partially customized floors disappear when a building is moved. | Reapply floor customization after moving the building. |
Handrail Platform Sinking | Handrails and partial walls sink into platforms after placement. | Remove and replace the affected items. |
Lot Edit Restriction | Certain lots only allow editing specific floors or spaces, blocking access to other areas. | Save and reload. If the issue persists, try editing from a different floor first. |
Ceiling Furniture Offset | Furniture attached to the ceiling moves higher when the foundation height is adjusted. | Reposition ceiling furniture after foundation changes. |
Performance and Crash Issues
Bug | Description | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
Random Crashes | The game crashes at random intervals, often during extended play sessions. | Increase the Windows page file size. Lower graphics settings. Close background applications. Install on an SSD. See the Performance and Optimization Guide for detailed steps. |
Out of Video Memory Error | Error appears on systems that do not meet minimum VRAM requirements or when too many programs are running. | Update GPU drivers. Close other applications. Lower Texture Quality. See System Requirements to verify your hardware meets the minimum specs. |
Stuttering During Gameplay | Frame drops and hitching, especially when panning the camera or entering dense areas. | Install on SSD. Enable Shader Cache in NVIDIA Control Panel. Use an Engine.ini optimization mod. |
Frame Generation Instability | DLSS Frame Generation causes visual artifacts or crashes on some systems. | Enable Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling in Windows. Disable NVIDIA overlay. Use Fullscreen mode. Disable Frame Generation if issues persist. |
Other Issues
Bug | Description | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
Canvas Malfunction After Skipping Update | Canvas features do not work properly if the game is not updated to the latest version. | Update the game through Steam. |
Pre-Early Access Presets Missing | Saved character presets from before Early Access intermittently do not appear despite files existing in the Documents folder. | Reimport presets through the Canvas system. |
Overlapping Reward Pop-ups | Multiple simultaneous reward notifications overlap each other on screen. | Cosmetic only. Close pop-ups one at a time. |
Winter Temperature Persistence | Temperature remains unusually high after returning to Dowon from another city during winter. | Save and reload to reset weather conditions. |
CAZ Crash on Special Characters | The game crashes when saving a character in Create a Zoi mode if the name contains special characters. | Avoid using special characters in Zoi names. |

Tips
Save frequently. Enable auto-save in the Gameplay settings with a 10-15 minute interval. Many bugs can be resolved by reloading a recent save.
Emergency Rescue first. Whenever a Zoi is stuck, try Psycat's Guide and the Emergency Rescue button before anything else.
Update your game. Many bugs are fixed in patches. Keep the game updated through Steam.
Update GPU drivers. Visual glitches and crashes are often resolved by updating to the latest GPU drivers.
Verify game files. If the game crashes repeatedly, right-click inZOI in your Steam library, select Properties, then Installed Files, and click "Verify integrity of game files."
Check the official forums. The inZOI Forums have a dedicated Bug Reports section and official Known Issues threads updated by the development team.
