Change your DNS settings
If you’re still trying to learn how to fix server-related error 4201 in Genshin Impact, there is one more approach. It’s a more complicated solution that involves changing your VPN. Doing this might make it so you may play the game, but you’ll have super high ping, which will cause the game to feel like it’s lagging; it will not be smooth at all. To use this option, having really good internet is a requirement!
This method may or may not work, but if it does work, the gameplay isn’t going to be as buttery smooth as you’re bouncing signals all over the place instead of only your modem. You need excellent internet for this method to be effective. We’ll update you if any new information is found about this error!
