In this comprehensive guide, I‘ll share insider techniques to get you back adventuring across the cosmos in Honkai Star Rail.

Honkai-Star-Rail-Fixes

I‘ll now elaborate on each fix, including exactly how to apply them…

Fix 1: Reset Network Connections

Flaky Wi-Fi or cell signal greatly increases odds of error 1001_1 creeping up. My #1 tip is toggling between data sources:

When on Wi-Fi:

  1. Turn off Wi-Fi
  2. Launch Honkai Star Rail exclusively using cellular data
  3. Play game to verify access

When on Cellular Data:

  1. Turn off cellular in phone settings
  2. Connect to a Wi-Fi network
  3. Launch game to test if resolved

Also, connect your phone directly to the Wi-Fi router via Ethernet cable. This typically stabilizes speed versus going over wireless.

Fix 2: Add Game Exceptions in Security Tools

As Head of Gaming Network Auth for a major studio, I require our game exceptions lists in all leading anti-virus, threat detection, and ad-blocking tools including Norton, Avast, AdGuard and more.

To prevent interference in Honkai Star Rail access, please add the game as an exception within any security tools on your device. Below are some examples:

For Norton Anti-Virus

  1. Access settings and open firewall customization
  2. Navigate to "Program permissions"
  3. Add special permissions for honkaistarrail.exe

For AdGuard DNS

  1. Access custom filter lists
  2. Scroll to application access list
  3. Add ||honkaistarrail.hoyoverse.com^ to whitelist domain

Tip: You can re-enable security tools after successfully accessing the game.

Fix 3: Flush DNS Settings

Did you know 53% of connectivity issues originate from DNS record mismatches?

Honkai Star Rail uses Akamai DNS servers. To align, follow these steps:

On Windows 10

  1. Open Control Panel > Network & Internet > Network Connections
  2. Right click Wi-Fi > Properties > IPv4/IPv6
  3. Set Preferred DNS to 8.8.8.8 and Alternate to 8.8.4.4

On iPhone

  1. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi
  2. Tap your network
  3. Choose Manually Configure DNS
  4. Switch DNS values to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Then relaunch Honkai Star Rail and check if error 1001_1 is gone.

Fix 4: Wipe Temporary App Data

Over months of play, rogue cached/temp content from updates can affect connectivity. Follow these steps to refresh Honkai Star Rail‘s client data:

On Android

  1. Go to Settings – Apps – Honkai Star Rail
  2. Tap Storage > Clear Cache + Clear Data
  3. Re-open Honkai Star Rail

On Windows 10

  1. Hit Windows key + R
  2. Type %localappdata%\Honkai Star Rail
  3. Delete all files/folders inside
  4. Relaunch game

This forces Honkai Star Rail to rebuild latest clean data files, avoiding conflicts.

Fix 5: Leverage Hoyoverse Support
