There's a fix! However, it comes with a caveat. The powers that be have rolled the fix(among others) into a new launcher that can be used to launch modded Genshin, Star Rail, ZZZ, and Wuthering Waves. The best part of this is that it auto updates as new patches are pushed by the devs working on it. Its suppose to be the new way to streamline updates so they don't have to post singular updates continuously day in, day out.
FAQ.
Where do I find it?
You can pick it up here! Just head to the Github and follow the instructions.

Is it easy to use?
Once it's setup, you simply open the launcher and click the start button for the game you wanna play.
Is the fix available without the launcher? Yes & No. This is meant to be the default method for pushing updates going forward. Its possible to see small patches released on Gamebanana by the devs but again, the launcher is meant to keep the workload to the minimum.
With that said, there is a band-aid patch to fix a few characters left out of the update until its fixed permanently. You can find it here:

But basically, this means modding ZZZ can resume unimpeded. I have a few mod lined up including but not limited to:
Yanagi - (Basic Prep work done)
Soldier 11 - (Basically Done, Needs more fine-tuning)
Caesar - (Basic Prep work and outfit Idea down, needs texture work & weighting).
Buts that all I wanted to say. Thanks again for all your patience and patronage!
