11 Overview

3-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 0.8.5 (May 15, 2026 hotfix). The Unreal Engine 5.6 upgrade has been in public beta on Steam since March 5, 2026; the full rollout was originally planned for March, deferred to April, and the migration ultimately shipped in v0.8.0 on April 29, 2026. The live build now runs on Unreal Engine 5.6. 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.

1111 Emergency Rescue

1212

1313 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.

If EXP is lost, reload an earlier save from before the work schedule began.Education Status Shows "Graduated"When continuing from an older save file, a Zoi enrolled in high school or university may have their education status incorrectly displayed as "Graduated."Known issue under investigation. Starting a new save on the current version avoids the carried-over status error.Vendor Stall Purchases BlockedItems displayed for sale at vendor stalls cannot be purchased when continuing from a live-service save file.

The issue is being investigated for a future patch.
