Use VPN (Virtual Private Network)
If the error is appearing because of the server connection., and your internet is unable to connect with the downloading server of Genshin Impact then the problem is on your internet connection. However you can solve this by just using a Vpn but if you used VPN, your internet speed might not be enough to download a game, in that case, you can contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) team and tell them to change your Route. There are many VPN applications available on the internet download any one of them and change the country according to the speed then click on Start or Connect to use the VPN.
