I believe they had a marowak and a marowak teddiursa fusion the comments before and after were diffrent but the battles and pokemon were exactly the same
I also encountered the scammer in the ruins of alph before triggering the encounter before violet city
but the issues with my starter and the game load time happened before more specifically after going to kanto and catching pokemon for my dex
Hey, I play the game and beat all the E4, when time credits title coming, it doesnt show and I cannot play the postgame, and i even cant save the game after defeating blue, anyone know what's the problem?
Play on Android with joiplay, the newest version of joiplay and the plugin
Hey @foggy badge! The game isn't made to be played on mobile! You can try to use Joiplay to run it, but the game will likely be very slow, glitchy, or downright unplayable.
You can try following this guide: https://youtu.be/jADyChlJbF0
Nothing can likely be done about issues experienced on mobile, unfortunately. You can ask for help in the video's comments section if you'd like.
No dedicated mobile version of IF will be developed in the future.
Does it always happen at the exact same location/trainer or is it a bit random?
I fixed it now turns it out was just my save file was corrupted
Idk why it corrupted however
But it was the two specific trainers
Cool, how did you fix it?
Made a new save
Ahh ok
I only lost my progress up to my 1st badge
So I’m glad it didn’t happen later on
I’m not sure what corrupted it though
For some reason it was just those two trainers
It let me interact with other trainers before hand

I am using joi play
I amnot familiar with joi can you try using the alternate launcher ?
I re-download everthing and retrying it
just be mindful it may not work as the response you got aboveis an automated and regular response
Nope same issue
it might just be that it isn't working on mobile

Ok then
I watched the vid from above and did everything it said but it still doesn't work
itmay just be that it isn't working currently
Ok
what version is fusions currently on ?
interesting
I think
I hope that the issue I amfacing isn't present in later updates
Or 5 0 3 6
I was going through reddit and someone said something about renaming a plug-in or something
Anyway if anyone can find a fix please @ me thxx
I think in your case it may just be the current version isn't as optimized for mobile
I did download the mobile file

Hello I am playing Infinite Fusions on Steam Deck, only just started last night after installing it months ago and am on version 5.1.2. Can I update to 5.3.0.6 with just a patch or do I need to clean install the newest version. If I have to install, is there any way to keep my save?
I honestly don't know in theory you should be able to but I would make a back up to be safe as my current issue is on I believe the same version andI fear updating may make it worse
you can use the update patches but I don't know if you can skip updates or not
Ok
Sounds like restarting might just be easiest to be honest
I believe you can as I think I skipped an update but I wouldn't quote that as thetime I used a patch was quite some time ago
well if you use the patch then that is the easiest
it keeps all of your progress and just updates the game
as I said I would make a copy before applying it just to be safe
as I don't remember if you have to add each update or not
<@&302155183708962827> ^
I can send a zip or rar file later if need be
it will have all game data and what textures I am using
Should work fine. Back up your save first.
You could update your game install but I would do a fresh one.
If you have added it to steam, if you change the .exe location it should still keep your save.
Try the Steam Deck Guide here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8B-upq069wvP3KIEblGVwGbHObmh9zWx8wJ0nQ9jJk/edit?usp=drivesdk
Could it be this?
#tech-support message
Back up your save, try releasing mons from your PC.
Have you solve your joiplay issue? If you haven't, then try to use the latest version of Joiplay and RPG maker plugin from their patreon. I think the latest version is JoiPlay 1.20.032
don't think so as it is effecting the entire game and spefic fusions/mons
The symptoms match what some users has reported. It's worth a try imo.
Or you just like, not try it.
Hey, it's my first time with the game, and the loading times are too long. I've read that i should try the alternative launcher, but i get the following error. Can anyone help me?
Look at the top pinned message.
I have the other sprites downloaded. I am able to go to the pokedex and swith between sprites but when i try to do that on the triple fusion nothing is showing. How do i swap the triple fusion sprites?
I'm having a problem with my game, where when entering/exiting some areas of the map the scenery is completely black, how could I solve this? (entering in a battle fix that, but is complicated to enter a battle like this)
Ok, I'm absolutely incompetent when it comes to computers, and i have been trying to download the game on my steam deck for over an hour now but no matter what i do the installer will not work. Can anyone give me a hand before I throw the dang thing out the window? (also once I left the downloads channel it completely disappeared so I dont even know how to reaccess that)
Try my Steam Deck setup guide. Follow it step by step and let me know if you get stuck.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8B-upq069wvP3KIEblGVwGbHObmh9zWx8wJ0nQ9jJk/edit?usp=drivesdk
It'll be a challenge but I believe in u
You are a lifesaver, thank you so much!!
hi any way to help speed up the black screens when transitioning
Hey @marsh ivy! Are you having trouble starting the game? If you are launching v5, and your screen is stuck on black at startup, don't worry, it's normal. Leave the game running for a few minutes and it will work eventually.
Do not click on the window during this, otherwise you'll get the error below and the game will close.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/308392115338084360/994274889055875142/Capture.PNG
as in loading between buildings
Rumor is the alternate launcher runs better. But you may need to do the thing in the top pin for that.
Another rumor is that your boxes are too full. See the pins.
How can I full screen the application?
even when I remove the taskbar, it ends here and then I can't see what the opponent is doing
You can start by not playing an ancient version of the game
i got altruistic virus someone please help
uninstall it
it opens a uninstall menu through the virus
then if you have an antivirus software, scan your computer and you should be fine
DON'T
close the menu
i did
i knew that was sus
how do I play a newer version?
where do i uninstall? sorry
I know this is wrong
click once on it, then hit delete
Then you're good
Try the steps in this guide:

Yes, thank you got it working 🙂
Is it possible with this new update to still change the amount of EXP gained per battle? I can not seem to find this Line anymore: expFinal = growth_rate.add_exp(pkmn.exp, exp)
I Figured It Out
whenever i open the game it closes after about 10 seconds of a loading screen plz help
im trying to download it on mac but i cant figure it out or find a tutorial.
please help me
did you try to get rare candies or smth like that?
According to the pins based on your error your save is corrupted
Not officially supported but ItsMegamanX's guide is here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8B-upq069wvP3KIEblGVwGbHObmh9zWx8wJ0nQ9jJk/edit?usp=drivesdk
ok thanks
the game freezes at random,any ideas?
Try a fresh install, right on C:. Not Desktop, Downloads, or Documents.
i did it a couple of times
If it's really random, OneDrive or an antivirus could be locking your files. Post a screenshot?
I also wouldn't know if it's randomizer-related
it happens when i merge pokemon,or enter a battle etc,its a bit weird,it just freezes for a solid 30 sec maybe 1 min,and i doubt its from my pc,its not a good pc but not a 2010 one either
Have u tried the alt launcher?
yep,still the same,the game.exe is now the alt launcher,no?
can anyone tell me whats going wrong here? it makes my game crash
Nah there is another .exe in the same folder. Read the top sticky before trying the alt launcher tho
uhm,i don t see it exactly?
There is Game.exe and two up from that is Alternate Launcher.exe
so i should use the alternate one over the game.exe?
it stops the 15 seconds lag, so yes
just be aware that it takes 15 minutes to start up
Honestly I don't know enough about your case to recommend one thing or another.
Is there a message when it crashes you can post a screenshot of?
it doesn t crash,just lag
open what thing
ty,well better 15 min to load than having random 30-1min freezes
Sure try it
the install or update one?@limber pelican
i ll come back in case it doens t go well,ty for the help people
install
i have the new version,installed it and reinstalled in 3 times
Talk to the Update Man upstairs from Pokemon center and shuffle wild encounters.
If that doesn't work, try a fresh install to a new folder. Your save is stored elsewhere so it's safe.
Try the alt launcher yeah. Use the top pin's download
If you're getting random pauses it could be the boxes thing in the pins too. Could try backing up your save and trying a fresh one to see if it persists.
ok the reshuffling didnt work, can i just reinstal from my current files or do i need to download it again. if so where can i do that again?
well I can though I only have 3 ish filled boxes and I don't get how it would effect the boot up process even in the slightest
I can get in game events taking a while to happen but everything else seems fine
rather a specific piece of code involving specific fusions maybe what is causing the issues I am facing
and thinking back on it I do believe the loading issues started happening after I beat the E4
and I hadn't yet gone to kanto or even began to hunt for dex entries which is why I am confused anddon't think it is the storage bug
Hello! I'm having some issues with the game getting crashed when i encounter new pokemon sprites. Is there any chance I can fix it?
@cosmic phoenix does it look like this?
Hi whenever I finish the elite 4 it comes up with this and plays music but nothing happens. Is there a way to fix this??
u need wine and homebrew and a bunch of terminal commands
by chance do you have any idea what I may be encountering with my game ? it isn't crashing just interactions with box 30 and my bisharp empoleon fusion takes forever to load any interaction even picking it up and moving it in the box a space takes some insane time I faced a situation where I think a trainers name appearance and team/move set cloned and I was able to talk with the scammer in the ruins of alph before ecountering them at violet city the game also takes a while to load the game itself which I noticed after beating E4 I also noticed a loading issue with an onyx fusion on the home screen that took forever to load the fusion and prevented me from accessing the save file screen
nah mate sorry i am just as new as you
I already posted more detail above on the specific events and what happened when but I don't think it is the box issue as the issues started only after beating the E4
okay np
how could I get the white ? sprites to not be there. I installed the most recent sprite pack but there's still a ton
Hey @undone horizon! Are you trying to add more custom sprites to your game? You can find the most up to date sprite pack containing all custom sprites in #downloads! To add them to your game, simply copy all the files into your game's CustomBattlers folder. The pack also contains alts and things such as joke sprites and regional variants, which you can also add to your game if you wish.
You can swap between alts of a given fusion in-game, using the Pokédex!
by which I mean most of them are the white ?
Has anyone had success getting this on steam deck? I can’t seem to get it working
i get a crash from it
I need help
same
It won't let me play the game
keeps happining after clean instal and reshuffles
as in they are showing as white in game or the PNG is white ?
they're showing as the white ? default error sprite
try maybe removing the sprite pack and re-adding it ?
as it sounds like they aren't getting used and they may have over ridden the defaults
and as the Id's aren't lining up it is faling back to the default
Is there anyway to fix my game when it freezes after beating the e4 before the credits
I'll have to try both of these tomorrow when I can, thank you both
Looks like in the first you need to extract the files first.
Hi, i copied the game files from my pc to a usb, to play on my school's computer, but the sprites don't work
Does anyone knows what i could do to fix it?
The only sprites that work are the one of the not fusions
I have questions about updating to new versions, and also a possible bug report that might still need to be brought up? Not sure if its an issue in newer versions or if its been noticed yet.
would such a report belong somewhere other then the "Newest Version" chnnel?
Hey uh, how do I get the new version of the game? I haven't seen any big mention in the updates channel outside of the May spritepack
Apparently the one download link they keep in a channel here is just always updated to the latest version.
What I really want to know is if I can just patch 5.1.0.1 up to the current version, and how to make sure I don't ruin my save file.
It took like, two or three days just to unpack the download I have now, and I really would prefer to not take all of forever to update.
I cant encounter pokemon anymore no matter how long i try walking through the grass. i tried restarting the game multiple times but i still cantt encounter any wild pokemon. can somebody maybe help?
Hey so how exactly can I play the game, do I need a specific emulator or spmething?
@dull hearth @reef escarp @ember crystal Try doing a fresh install following this guide:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8B-upq069wvP3KIEblGVwGbHObmh9zWx8wJ0nQ9jJk/edit?usp=drivesdk
Your save is elsewhere in %AppData%/InfiniteFusion. I would back this up. So you have your old save and game folder to fall back on just in case.
Talk to the Update Man upstairs from Pokemon center and shuffle wild encounters.
If that doesn't work, try a fresh install to a new folder.
You probably want to apply the current full sprite pack in #downloads and then also Sprites.zip from the top sticky. Or see the guide I just linked
I'm getting this issue only when I try to use the alternate launcher, does anyone have a way to fix this?
I put a custom sprite in the game but it’s invisible
Hi quick question, I've been doing a playthrough of infinite fusion for awhile. I've had it set as a non-steam game and my pro controller has worked with it perfectly fine until recently. Now all of a sudden, the game no longer works with my controller and I have no idea why. Does anyone know any potential fixes to this?
I keep running into this issue whenever I use the Pokeradar, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game, but I keep getting the same issue, what can I do?
Hey @kindred wren! Are you having trouble with the Pokéradar? You get it from the scientist in Cerulean City's Pokécenter. She gives you the Exp share as a quest reward there, and then will go to Route 24, where she will give you the radar.
When using it, make sure you have a repel active, or else you may only get regular encounters.
More info here: https://infinitefusion.fandom.com/wiki/Pokéradar
Thank you Yanmega, but this is not related to my issue.
what do i do from here? i am on macbook and new to this
Don't use the radar
That happens in randomizer, where the radar does practically nothing anyway
what do i do now to install the game?
I put in a custom sprite and now it’s invisible any fix?
HI im struggling to install it can someone help me please.
me too
Pressed the key to access field moves and selected items
ive installed it but where is the launcher?
whenever i try launch the game i get an error saying "Error Creating OpenAL context"
I clicked the download for the mac version of the game, this looks more like Windows
Can I get an answer?
if you find out how to use it can you tell me everything u did cause im on mac too
I use Crossover to run Windows stuff on my macbook, but it isn't seeming to work with Pokemon Infinite Fusion
Hi I have been trying to play Pokémon Infinite Fusion however when I launch the game I get this error
what should I do to try and fix it
any ideas with this launch error. first time installing so im sure im missing something
I still lack the spriter role from my old account. Shouldn't that carry over?
Discord thought I was under 13 and sniped the old one by disabling it.
I'm 18 tho, and very much still pissed over it.
ok this is probably stupid but is there any place where I can get the sprites folder already unzipped/extracted?
my computer is taking ages to unzip it
anyone have a video of how to fix alternate launcher not working?
I have to sit through a 35-second black screen after every battle and every time I leave a building, and my alternate launcher doesn't work. someone please help so i can begin to enjoy the game
Hey @warm sun! Are you having trouble starting the game? If you are launching v5, and your screen is stuck on black at startup, don't worry, it's normal. Leave the game running for a few minutes and it will work eventually.
Do not click on the window during this, otherwise you'll get the error below and the game will close.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/308392115338084360/994274889055875142/Capture.PNG
any reason the sprites arnt showing?
Anyone able to get the new .bat installer to work for the steam deck?
Wait no I figured it out
Anyone know a way to get surf? It’s not in my inventory after talking to the guy In the safari zone
The one thing I need to correct about this was the game taking a while to load happened after beating the E4 and there was an onyx fusion that also takes a while to load ( this was on the intro screen before save select ) someone sugested PC bug but only box 30 and the pokemon/fusion in question are having issues and many of the more drastic symptoms aren't showing
someone said they had issues with sprites only showing in white did you add a sprite set to your game?
yes
this isnt a tech support issue.
we do not have the power to give it to you.
Hello!

Hi, I'm new to the game, and I'm trying to use my Switch Pro Controller, but when the game starts up it goes haywire and automatically goes through a bunch of stuff till it stops at the part where you name your character, without me pressing anything at all. Is there a way to fix this?
Either use the top pinned post, or follow my setup guide
No. It takes time.
I have a guide for you here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8B-upq069wvP3KIEblGVwGbHObmh9zWx8wJ0nQ9jJk/edit?usp=drivesdk
I have a guide for steam deck in my previous post.
Set refresh rate and fps limit to 40 and it's a bit less janky.
I installed pokemon infinite fusions, and when I opened the game, the fusion sprites weren't showing up
Try the top pinned post. If that doesn't work, try a new setup from scratch with this guide

Top pinned post?
Where i put that sprites?
It says in that post and also in the guide I linked.
Srry, im dumb ;-
I used the alternate launcher and my games is so much quicker but now trainer Pokémon don’t appear how do I fix it

I'm having trouble with the mobile version through JoiPlay. I installed all the requirements but i have an error about Carmaniac's Speech Bubbles

I tried to fix it now alternate launcher doesn’t work at all
You did not apply the sprite pack or the .zip in the top pin correctly
I linked you to a step by step guide earlier. If you follow the steps and don't skip parts it should work.
Ok
hello all,
game as been running well for the last 2 days but for some reason it now freezes for multiple minutes whenever i open team screen in pc
do anyone have an idea of what could be the problem ?
Hi! I was trying to import custom sprites into my game, but it didn't work. I put directly in the custombatlers folder, as I should and the correct message came when I booted up the game. However, the game would then crash, so Itried removing the sprites from the folder, and now it seems like no fusion in the game has a sprite anymore... I've tried putting the png's back in the folder, but nothing changed.
I should probably also mention that I play this on mac, so I'm running this through wineskin winery
Some generated fusions are laggy when like, hovering over them, moving them etc.
There's also the PC box thing, mentioned in the bottom pinned message. Read that.
I would back up your save and then start releasing Pokemon until it runs better. Maybe you'll find a particularly troublesome few.
already tried spliting boxes as mentioned in the pinned message, it didn't change anything, but after some time it stopped occurring, i don't know why but at least it stopped. also my current computer is a bit far from slow xd
and it's back to freezing x_x i guess it's due to haunter + alakazam fusion (as it's the only common point)
You could give the alternative launch a go but that's some setup
it's already on alternate launcher tho :/
Then, the preloaded sprites version maybe? Still would need to apply top pin
tried downloading the game from qiwi but its telling me its detecting virus in the folder? i know its safe as the other 300K people downloaded it but how come its telling me that?
Post a screenshot where it says it detects a virus
will do, i downloaded the 4.9 version and had no problems with it which is strange
just the up to date one on qiwi
i get a load of alerts from mcafee and last time the zip in the bottom outright said failed due to virus

Hey I've followed every set of instructions and like 5 tutorials and the app isn't downloading, I've extracted everything and followed every step but it isn't working
False positive from your browser plugin.
If it's not downloading then it's impossible that you have extracted everything
It's actually very possible
Currently I'm heading to a medical appointment so I'll be back in a while
Post a screenshot of it not working.
Hi, I have the following issue, anyone knows how to fix it?
Thanks in advice ^^
Keep getting this error when I use the Alternate Launcher
And I get this when I use Debug mode to make a pokemon a Shadow pokemon
That's because shadow Pokémon don't factually exist
But I even tried using it on a normal pokemon and still gave the same error, not fused or anything was just a normal zapdos and still got it
That still doesn't make them exist 
Define exist, cause Zapdos is for sure able to be a shadow pokemon and is from the base game
That's like saying all pokemon dont exist because they're not real 
Shadow pokemon aren't actually in the game
That's all I needed then
quick question
But why give the option to make them shadow pokemon in the debug if it doesn't work @.@
with the new installer, and the fact that this now works on mac, do i redownload the full game?
if so, how do i transfer my save?
it's one of the many scraps of things that come with the engine the game was built on
Copy your folder called "Save File"
You could copy the whole folder too
If you're wanting your save you need to make sure that is in the folder from your previous one
Ah ok that makes sense then. Dang I really hope someday we can have shadow fusion @.@
Is it the same with Mystery gifts?
Cause I normally get a error anytime I mess with those
Top pin
I could pass the save to the new folder but now i have this issue when i tried to open that save
my CaterBat evolved and my game crashed and now when i try to fuse stuff it says this and crashes
Try a fresh install of the game in a new folder directly in C:. Your save is elsewhere so it won't be affected by that try.
so i just extract it to the new one?
Nah somewhere else
quick question, is there a patch for the most recent version? i cant seem to find it on qiwi
you need to use the updater
only problem is idek how to use the installer let alone the updater lmao
@livid harness If you're having trouble with that, please try to follow this guide step by step:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/128DxjQR8PN3vogmzoiRE0TZN5kbJpsEDIeYXN5nKAWk/edit?usp=drivesdk
You can try it too @full otter
last ver i got was 5.2.1
Back up your save just in case and do a fresh install imo
oki
im doing that rn but i havent used the new installer yet lol
@jade sedge do you have a mac version of the setup guide?
Someone else made one yeah
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8B-upq069wvP3KIEblGVwGbHObmh9zWx8wJ0nQ9jJk/edit?usp=drivesdk
Imo, use a Windows PC and follow the windows guide
im running parrallels
Nice
That page has both windows and OSX guides, I bet you can get something going
eh i've resorted to fully redownloading, it doesnt rly matter to me if my save files stay as i havent played them in a while and probs wont play them again
true
heyy how does the day care work? i put an aegislash and a ditto, they can normally make an egg with little luck, but it works depending on steps, or time ( style i sleep at the hotel )?
Where do you have the game files by the way? Desktop or Downloads or Documents?
documents
i dont think it decided to download game.ini, it started working again once i reopened the installer
Hey @full otter! Are you having trouble starting the game? If you're getting the "missing Game.ini" error, your game is not finding its necessary folders for some reason. Here's a list of things that may fix the issue:
- Make sure that you have extracted the files from the ZIP, and aren't running the game straight from the zipped folder.
- Make sure the game.exe file is in the folder with everything else. You might've moved it while trying to make a shortcut or something.
- Rename the folder with the extracted files to a name without numbers or special characters, e.g. "PokemonInfiniteFusion".
- Move the entire folder somewhere else on your computer. Moving it to the desktop seems to work for most people.
- Redownload and re-extract the game in full.
Could also be OneDrive locking your files. Can't be sure though since you didn't follow the guide.
or it mightve been that i renamed the folder it was in from Pokemon Infinite Fusion to infinitefusion
Could be
- thats really passive aggressive 2. i did >:(
Sorry, I said in there and in here to try it in a folder right on C:. I thought since it was Documents you might have skipped some steps.
ahhh alr, nw!!!
I was adding some sprites and when I started the game only a black screen shows
Hey @graceful flame! Are you having trouble starting the game? If you are launching v5, and your screen is stuck on black at startup, don't worry, it's normal. Leave the game running for a few minutes and it will work eventually.
Do not click on the window during this, otherwise you'll get the error below and the game will close.

I use joiplay
damn
The link in #downloads sends me to a website asking me to download opera
I'm using opera to download it
Lol does it really?
I put Google drive mirrors in my guide.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8B-upq069wvP3KIEblGVwGbHObmh9zWx8wJ0nQ9jJk/edit?usp=drivesdk
Following the link on my computer, it says "system cannot find the path specified" 6 times
I have my save file from version 5.2.1 but when I open the newest version of the game, I only see start new game
Can I still play on that file?
I got it to work, just sat with the window open not doing anything for 15 minutes lol
Anecdotal: On my Steam Deck playthrough, I updated from 5.2.1 to 5.3.0.4 after beating Kanto, and it worked for me.
Umm
Your save files is 0 kilobytes
I don't think that's normal
I don't even know how 5.2.1 would use that file because it's uhh, literally nothing
whenever I open the game on 5.2.1 I get this
Hi! I was trying to import custom sprites into my game, but it didn't work. I put directly in the custombatlers folder, as I should and the correct message came when I booted up the game. However, the game would then crash, so Itried removing the sprites from the folder, and now it seems like no fusion in the game has a sprite anymore... I've tried putting the png's back in the folder, but nothing changed.
I should probably also mention that I play this on mac, so I'm running this through wineskin winery. Anyine got any idea how to fix it? I've been playing over 150 hours with no problems
Yeah that's about what I'd expect
You're not going to be playing that save any time soon
hello guys I beat all of rocket grunts in gates and I beat giovanni but I can't go in the silph
can you help me ?
You seem to be on an old version, which means you can use the old walkthrough
?tag walkthrough
Here's the full walkthrough of the game! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TPNmJhpHhekCH6v3JWTdgWup67qZgOg2bquJjTbDpHY/edit?usp=sharing
ok thx
I look and I tell you
It's not that
How do I stop taking so long on a black screen when I enter or leave places to go from one environment to another
Hey @candid oracle! Are you having trouble starting the game? If you are launching v5, and your screen is stuck on black at startup, don't worry, it's normal. Leave the game running for a few minutes and it will work eventually.

How do I stop loading so long when going from one place to another
You can try the alternate launcher, preloaded, or mobile versions. Save is elsewhere so will persist.
Hey @jade sedge! The game isn't made to be played on mobile! You can try to use Joiplay to run it, but the game will likely be very slow, glitchy, or downright unplayable.
You can try following this guide: https://youtu.be/jADyChlJbF0
Nothing can likely be done about issues experienced on mobile, unfortunately. You can ask for help in the video's comments section if you'd like.
No dedicated mobile version of IF will be developed in the future.
Where i can download the preloaded version? Im playing on pc
Does anyone know why I have this popping up on my screen and crashing the game
Does it always happen at the same time with the same exact error message, or does it vary?
Try to move your game folder to C:, not Desktop or Documents or Downloads.
yes it's still the same message and i will try to move it
I keep on getting this error in the alternate launcher
im hvaing trouble installing the game, i run the installer but nothing happens

Try this guide step by step. If it's still not working, post a screenshot

Are you trying to download the preloaded version on non-English windows
hello guys i need help, i can't download the game with preloaded sprites in the given link in downloads section, are there any other links i can use?
Hey @solar latch! Are you having trouble downloading the game? You can find the download of the game in #downloads! To run it, simple unzip all of the files into a folder, then click the .exe file. Be mindful that the game takes a few minutes to load, don't touch the black window before it does!
That's usually the cause of this problem
The guide I just linked to has download mirrors
oh okay i'll try it now, thank youu
I followed the trouble shooting for the bat file and the alternate mirrors but am still receiving
heyy does downloading on mac work? ive been trying for like 10 minutes and i have no idea what im doing
Try this one #tech-support message
I have
Like, tht specific one
because it's different from the one in #downloads
ok, just general installer weirdness then
get the m0bile version from the qiwi link in #downloads
(yes that works on a computer)
It's normal that every time I play the game it gives me this message
How do I like, update the game- I can't figure it out?
#downloads, infinitefusion.zip, extract to a new folder, run the installer
It says to click to unlock
me as well, i don't really know what im doing with it
Do you now or did you previously have Git installed?
I tryed to run the INSTAL file and it just disappeared, this new system is very confusing and I have no idea how to work it
hi! currently the preloaded versions link is not authorized for public users
since i have internet fully i want all sprites and not some sprites that i downloaded so how can i do that because i don't want invisible things or question marks
@short shard @cerulean plume @warm gulch @turbid fiber
Please try this install guide. There are download mirrors in it too.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8B-upq069wvP3KIEblGVwGbHObmh9zWx8wJ0nQ9jJk/edit?usp=drivesdk
No. Did you try to add a custom sprite? Because it looks like you saved as the wrong image file format instead of .png
No i used the sprite pack from may
That was a reply to Amolys
I'm sorry but there's no way you followed all those steps so quickly. Dont use previous downloads, get everything brand new.
You'll notice that you apply both the full sprite pack AND Sprites.zip
New folder on C:. Don't use any old files. Don't skip any steps in the guide or you will certainly get the error again
I just realised when I downloaded the all sprite pack i only got like 7k
instead of 75k
I did not try to add a custom sprite
Interesting, something is wrong with that file maybe
Try a clean install to a new folder. Don't use any files previously downloaded.
okay thx
I tried download but somehow it won't let me download?
how do i view .dat files
it doesn't seem to open well in notepad
This guide has download mirrors:

`The System cannot find the path specified. (6x)
Thank you for installing and close window now. `
What should I do?
You have to extract the files.
OH. Thank you sir or lady ❤️
everytime I encounter raicune
I get a black screen
it started when I first encountered and accidentally defeated it. I reset (F12) afterwards but had an error forcing me to close the game completely
does anybody know a solution? (same thing happens with the alternate launcher, parameters have already been reset)
Hey @visual mortar! Are you having trouble starting the game? If you are launching v5, and your screen is stuck on black at startup, don't worry, it's normal. Leave the game running for a few minutes and it will work eventually.

Try a fresh install in a new folder. Your save is safe, it's elsewhere
Hey quick question. So I downloaded the Dragon Ball Fusion game cause that sounds funny as hell and it crashes immediately upon opening
That sounds hilarious. Link?
It's on the Infinite Fusion download page lol
the error message only popped up when i reset the game
after that when encountering Raicune I get stuck in a black screen
when Alt+F4ing the game the "RGSS script seems to be stuck"-Message pops up
I believe the first error message was something 009

reinstalling has the same problem
Haha I haven't seen that before. Cool!
Different topic but there's a great GBA Pokemon DBZ Rom hack out there.
https://www.pokeharbor.com/2021/05/dragon-ball-z-team-training/
What do i do when it says this?
Try doing it in a folder directly on C: instead of E:
ok
Do you have multiple windows user accounts on the computer?
Randomizer -related issue?
I suggest a fresh install in a new folder.
You could try just running the update script
i installed this again like a day ago TvT
you can
im trying to set up the controls with my controller, but it's not recognizing the inputs. the controller works with other games
Yeah but you keep doing randomizer stuff to it, which edits the files.
Maybe make a backup of your working game folder next time.
I have to start again TvT
Your save file should still be ok.
The update didnt fix it
Does anyone else have this error? It happens when I want to use the pokeradar when i have the pokemon randomized. This started happening when I installed the newest version (clean), I came from version 5.1.1.1 or something where it worked perfectly fine
Hey @floral kayak! Are you having trouble with the Pokéradar? You get it from the scientist in Cerulean City's Pokécenter. She gives you the Exp share as a quest reward there, and then will go to Route 24, where she will give you the radar.
When using it, make sure you have a repel active, or else you may only get regular encounters.
More info here: https://infinitefusion.fandom.com/wiki/Pokéradar
how do you import the custom battlers
Bc the ones already in the folder are also in another folder
where as when you downlaod them they dont they just come as the image
Do i just not put them in the indexed?
I am looking for the mobile version of the game can the link in download work for the mobile joiplay as well?
Hey @low wave! The game isn't made to be played on mobile! You can try to use Joiplay to run it, but the game will likely be very slow, glitchy, or downright unplayable.
You can try following this guide: https://youtu.be/jADyChlJbF0

Hey i download the zip version and my pc say it could kill my pc, is this really safe ?
(latest version) I've added the custom sprite pack and this still keeps on coming up, idk if it matters or not, but I just wanted to see if there was a problem to why this shows up?
(this shows when I press yes)
If you got it from #downloads here it's fine.
Ok but did the fresh install to a new folder fix it?
like download the game again?
Yeah. Or at least a fresh install from the files you downloaded.
Ahh I already suggested that to you earlier, sorry.
any ideas on why the receiving object part of downloading is taking a really long time? my internet speed is fine
The files come straight from GitHub with the script
Maybe their servers are getting hit hard, can try again later. If a speed test says your connection is good I'd believe that.
ok i just restarted it and its going faster now
that was for a very, very old version. it is no longer supported
which zip do i download to update to 5.3
If the explanation in #downloads isn't clear, try this guide:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8B-upq069wvP3KIEblGVwGbHObmh9zWx8wJ0nQ9jJk/edit?usp=drivesdk
not tech realated but is there a way to see if im on classic or modern, im trying to see encounter tables
@jade sedge thanks
Top pinned message
Or the guide I just linked above your post
Is anyone else unable to download preloaded sprites?
Mirrors in that guide just in case of that
why is the download link locked away? my computer isn't liking it one bit...
Idk why maybe it's overloaded.
Good thing about the mirrors for that guide.
Every fusion turns into a question mark, I've tried to add the sprite packs but the way to add it is different than the way shown in #downloads
preloaded or dynamic?
Is dynamic the one through the .bat thing?
both
what is the files name?
the games
I'm sorry, i'm a bit lost. Which files are you asking for? graphics, the game launcher, or?
what file did you download for the game?
Full sprite pack 1-9?
No i downloaded the game aswell, I just misunderstood the question sorry
my god. i ask for the name of the file of the GAME you downloadd!
how do you confuse that?
InfiniteFusion? like are you asking for the whole file or one in specific?
not the application. the file it was in.
Trying to add my own custom sprites to the game, how do I do that? Automated Bot reply didn't get me far
are you using preloaded or dynamic?
Would it be possible to put Infinite fusions on a micro sd card to put on my DS Lite?
it isnt a rom
preloaded
ok. find the graphics folder
done. what now?
now find custombattlers
what next
just for reference as to what I'm seeing when I click the download link
thats what i see too
put all the sprites from the sprite pack in there
and then it opens up wrong and doesnt go into my files so i cant unzip it
In here or in indexed
in custombattlers
Yeah, im here. So this is the right place?
guys how can i do it full screen?
yes
the square box in the corner of the window
I just wanna add one sprite I made myself, do I really have to download the whole pack?
then just add that one
okay. does it need to have a specific filename?
and what should i do when i arrived in celadon city? i dont remember XD
if its in the sprite pack, it should be correctly named already.
It's a sprite that doesn't have a custom made one yet
so the sprite you want doesnt exist?
There is an error when trying to download the pre loaded version
what should I do?
Literally just got here to share the same thing^
the game wont make a sprite for you.
I have a sprite. I wanna add it to IF to replace one of the Generated ones with a custom one
I'm generally having terrible load time and tried to install the pre loaded version as a fix but it won't let me install. Also, how do I swap my saves into the preloaded version?
oh the sprite needs to be named int the format [headmonDexNumber.bodymonDexNumber.png]
without the brackets
so no I name it 112.041.png or 112.41.png
no "0"
so just .41?
yes
can someone help me? i am trying to download the preloaded version and it keeps saying that I dont have access. Is there a fix?
alright. 112.41.png
Do I still upload it in the same location as you told me before?
same I need help
yes
not sure if this counts as a bug report?? But, @near citrusnot sure if this is a spelling error
on the Fusion Dex Website
this isnt bug report
Ye thats why i didnt put it in #bug-reports-newest-version lol
Cause it got nothing to do with the game... but idk if this was the right place for it
huh...?
Well idk they put an announcement with the site and staff member here: #announcements message
we can not fix it, because we didnt make that site
tell them not us
we do tech support for the game. not the sites
Isn't tech support for issues outside of the game
issues that are stuff like "how do i get this item" are inside the game. outside is "sprites are not loading"
see the difference?
Yeah, i see what you mean. Well I pinged them here already guess they can just fix it or dm me afterwards. Thanks for the clarification
Ok so based on my personal experience and others’ messages, it seems that the preloaded version cannot be downloaded right now. I have the light version and the load times are really bad. Pins say to try alt launcher, but you need the preloaded version for that. So is there anything I can do to fix the load times?
you can wait.
I’m looking for actual advice, if you don’t have any feel free to ignore me
I'm with ya Fish. Got in the mood for trying to play this game again and get the full dex, but the main is unplayably slow and the alt launcher seems to be crashing on startup with that ENOENT error
same
several self-fusions have special names, it's intentional
Oh thanks!
preloaded link is broken and leads to an error
gettting the full dex? as in all fusions? thats inpossible
base pokemon/non fusions
Ye this
Do I need an emulator with fire red to play IF?
Kinda sucks how fused mons don't count for this so you gotta keep unfusing and refusing after evolution but it seems doable
no, it's a standalone thing
Ok. I'm new to pcs, I have it downloaded but idk how to load it
its not a rom
Can someone help me to use my 4.9.2 save state on the newest version? I tried but the game report me the following issue & i dont know how to solve :c
v4 is uncompatible with v5
no. you need to download the full v5 AND start a new game
Fuck hahaha
Is this the screen I should be on to install?
Okey thanks its fine
Ye
Hey, uh, it seems like the game is running too fast for me?
Btw, i saw on a post that u can use the savestate from 4.9 on v5
so I would like to ask you if you are 100% sure if the save of 4.9 is incompatible with V5
lads is there a way to recover a corrupted save file 🥹
is there like a backups folder or something
pls im getting desperate
alot of bugs and story breaks will happen
and how old is the post?
When beta starts on this discord & i think i see it on the web where i download the game
Hey @whole shuttle! Are you having trouble downloading the game? You can find the download of the game in #downloads! To run it, simple unzip all of the files into a folder, then click the .exe file. Be mindful that the game takes a few minutes to load, don't touch the black window before it does!
Wait im gonna search it
Yeah on the web pokecommunity says:
If you are updating from an earlier version, you might get stuck if you last saved in a map that no longer exists. These maps depend on which version you're updating from.
To be safe, I suggest you save inside of a Pokémon Center before updating and you shouldn't run into any problems.
But says it below legacy version paragraph so i guess its only on that version 😦
I am trying to download the game for the first time. But I keep receiving this error when I try to click the purple download button
im trying to add sprites to the game but there is no custom battlers folder
im getting a 404 from the qiwi link for the InfiniteFusion_PreloadedSprites.zip file, thats the preloaded game file right
my save filed disappeared
is there anything i can do
i saved the game and had to restart my computer for an update and came to load it back up and no save file
I just updated game from 5.1.0.1 to 5.3.0.7 and every fusion sprite is a ? inside a white circle
and now im getting this error https://i.imgur.com/X59IuRW.png
Same error here, and I've seen a few other report it too
I did something stupid and idk how to fix it, I accidentally put my save file out of the folder of infinite fusions, where does it go again?
damn hopefully we get a fix
What folder are your save file folder supposed to go in?
I took it out once and now I can’t remember where it goes
So it’s just supposed to be in the main page?
idk i aint tech support 

There should be a shortcut there in the main folder
So the “main page” of the folder?
im am having the same issue
keep getting this error when trying to battle the first trainer on route 3
This is all I get when I try and open the game. The loading bar doesn't move
I tried both the regular start and the alternate
me too
This whole channel is all questions and 0 support lol
why do i get a 404 when trying to download the game?
static images are not supposed to move
wait for it to load.
uninstalled and reinstalled and it still bugs on this one trainer
Hey @whole moat! Are you having trouble starting the game? Here are a few common errors you might be experiencing:
If you're getting the "missing Game.ini" error, your game is not finding its necessary folders for some reason. Here's a list of things that may fix the issue:
- Make sure that you have extracted the files from the ZIP, and aren't running the game straight from the zipped folder.
- Make sure the game.exe file is in the folder with everything else. You might've moved it while trying to make a shortcut or something.
- Rename the folder with the extracted files to a name without numbers or special characters, e.g. "PokemonInfiniteFusion".
- Move the entire folder somewhere else on your computer. Moving it to the desktop seems to work for most people.
- Redownload and re-extract the game in full.
If you are launching v5, and your screen is stuck on black at startup, don't worry, it's normal. Leave the game running for a few minutes and it will work eventually.
Do not click on the window during this, otherwise you'll get the error below and the game will close.

did anyone else try to download the install instructions txt and now they have antivirus things popping up and their windows firewall all of a sudden turned off??
im not sure how to get the game to open can someone please help
why do i get this error while using the pokeradar (through registeration, on route 24 grass) and what can i do to fixe it?
once i click ok, my game auto close
You probably just accepted notifs from one of the weird sites qiwi directs you to
And can turn that off in your browser
Solution: don't use the radar.
That happens on randomized mode, where the radar does practically nothing anyway.
ok, thanks
https://i.imgur.com/J7LMTqe.png still suck
My game keeps not downloading all the sprites
I have the predownloaded version
I have turned download sprites off and on
But I still keep seeing question marks
Update to the latest Joiplay and RPG maker plugin. Get it from their Patreon
Hello, can't download the preloaded
Gonna have to be more specific or no one will help you, for example maybe a picture of what's stopping you, or am explanation
When downloading preloaded this pops up
exactly
Ty sorry
Do you get to this screen
yes
And you click download?
Hmm? Oh sorry I was just talking about me pinning a message that I forgot I already pinned
Then you should get a screen like this
Are you trying to get the sprites or the game sorry
preloaded sprites version
Ah seems to be doing the same for me I thought you were tryna do the game, I would put this in bug reports and explain what happens and hopefully someone will see it, not sure if its a bug
I haven't downloaded anything with their new download crap so I wouldn't know
Do you need RPG maker to run the game.exe and/alternate launcher.exe for pc
No idea My launchers do nothing even though the installer/updater tell me everything is good to go
They need to fix the download method, can't even install the game normally, it says that data is missing
something is broken
worked fine for me this morning. when i loaded the game today its fucked
when the black cmd screen shows up, everything is okay, until at the end it says "Error: the system can't find the specified file."... at first i thought there was a problem with the .git file
how
Hey all, just joined the Discord to ask for help with a bug, I currently have the most current version (5.3.0.7) and everything was fine til i got the PokeRadar, tried using it in the grass near the scientist lady, and met with this error and crash. I have tried "fixing" the game with the game fixer guy at pokecenter, and even tried running the Updater in the game folder location, but all to no avail, and since i cant redownlad it as download link is down or broken at the moment. Anyways heres the error:
help, my map dont load
How do I unlock this? I’ve tried three times to unlock it and it wont work
so do i put the sprites file in the infinitefusion_preloadedsprites folder or just the infinite fusions folder
Anyone?
I'm having the same issue
hi i mentioned this in #gameplay-help but the mirrored download link in the #downloads channel gave my computer a plethora of viruses, i just wanted to let you guys know
I recently got some viruses around the same time, can you name some of them?
yes!! i dont remember them all as i just deleted a bunch of them but specifically i got rav endpoint protection (a virus pretending to be a virus finder), mcafee secure, avg secure browser, winzip and maybe 3-4 more i cant remember. im not great with computers so i dont know if All of these were viruses but most of the stuff i saw online saif they were so
i think i recognize that name as well
one of them was adware and spammed you with ads in the corner of your screen
pretty sure it was ssoption
i just gave up after a while the viruses gave me a headache 😭
Get some ad blocks people and get it done
@cunning glen @mild island @clear palm @whole moat
See top pin in the channel. You have to apply the big Sprites.zip patch.
If this doesn't work, or if the process isn't clear, you can try following this guide step by step:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8B-upq069wvP3KIEblGVwGbHObmh9zWx8wJ0nQ9jJk/edit?usp=drivesdk
ill try it
Thanks
Sprites are back
@west jacinth @fading hill @oak vigil @stable pelican @onyx shuttle @cerulean garnet
There are issues with the download pages atm, maybe overloaded.
Luckily there are Google drive mirrors for each download in this guide:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8B-upq069wvP3KIEblGVwGbHObmh9zWx8wJ0nQ9jJk/edit?usp=drivesdk
^^^
@pulsar basalt @shut kayak @misty knot @round orchid @plain sorrel @latent crescent @rain geode
I don't know if I go here for the problem, but after going into a new area or finishing a battle, the game takes a bit to load in. Is there anything I can do about that?
@heavy harbor figured it out:
“You have to search the file of the head pokemon by number (based on pokedex) then add the sprite in it and name it by the head pokemon dex number.body pokemon dex number
ex: bulbasaur/ivysaur would be 001.002
And you would put that in the 001 file”
All the info I have
You could try the Preloaded version or Alternate Launcher. Can follow the guide I just linked.
Check this guide, it says exactly where to put them:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8B-upq069wvP3KIEblGVwGbHObmh9zWx8wJ0nQ9jJk/edit?usp=drivesdk
See the top pinned comment
i think im missing some sprites
See the top pinned comment
@Slug you're too nice. You're doing this for free in your own time! If someone's rude to you or refuses to try your instructions, block 'em.
Where can you find the alternate launcher?
Heran be making Hella good points
There is a section in the guide called "Setup (Alternate Launcher)".
Great job with the supports man! What a chad 🙌
Sorry for bombarding you with questions and this is the last one, if I made progress in the Dynamic version and I switch to the preloaded version will I keep the progress I made?
Np. Your save is stored elsewhere so it's safe.
Alright, thank you man
The game install folder may have a shortcut in it.
Think the save is at %AppData%/InfiniteFusion.
I suggest backing up this folder sometimes.
I literally have the save of my first ever playthrough on my desktop just so I can be sure nothing happens to it
I have a small problem that when the game starts, pidgeoto hardly appears, the whole map looks black
I tried this, and did manage to download the sprites and all, but the alternate launcher never made it past the black screen, even after waiting an hour
Hey @mild island! Are you having trouble starting the game? If you are launching v5, and your screen is stuck on black at startup, don't worry, it's normal. Leave the game running for a few minutes and it will work eventually.

You see your character sprite but the background is black?
I imagine there's a lot to load, but the amount of time seems excessive
That's maybe a different issue. Not sure.
Been seeing a lot of black background lately. For one person the issue went away on its own or something. I'd like to hear a solid fix
If you're not on the preloaded or alternate launcher, you could give those a try. But you have to set them up just right atm. The guide I linked has the steps.
Hmm, now it's happening with the main launcher too. I had the main working before, but it was too slow. Then I downloaded the sprites and tried the alt launcher, but that got stuck on the black screen. Now I tried the main launcher again and it also got stuck on the black screen
Hey @mild island! Are you having trouble starting the game? If you are launching v5, and your screen is stuck on black at startup, don't worry, it's normal. Leave the game running for a few minutes and it will work eventually.
Do not click on the window during this, otherwise you'll get the error below and the game will close.

Downloaded the sprites and transfered them to my folder for the game and I launch and it just stays black
literally that lol
Let it be black for a few minutes without clicking on it or anything.
idk what happened but the game was playing fine this morning, i saved and quit. Updated my PC (routine windows update) and loaded it back up and cant play
now its been 12 hours 
I left the alt launcher alone for over an hour and nothing. I've left the main alone for 10 mins but not seeing much progress
I guess you could try
- Rename save file folder. If it works now, you know it's the save.
- Completely fresh install directly in C:. If it works now, your old install has an issue.
Of it still doesn't work after that, likely something about your environment. Time to try another PC and network.
the screen went away okay lets see if i can get to the main menu
"importing new sprites"
Ahh, so it was just waiting like the bot said.
been waiting quite a while
not a "few mins"
Did you run the main or the alt launcher?
alternative
main launcher never worked for me before today
last question of the night, how do i tell if a save file is corrupted because now my save isnt showing in my game 
How long did you wait, more or less?
Sounds like an environment issue
close to an hour
hmmmm I definitely waited over an hour... I guess I'll leave it running for a bit and see if something happens
Same thing if you try on a different windows PC on the same network?
Could there really be problems from it not being installed directly in C:?
sorry for the delayed reply but thanks so much for this!
can anyone walk me through how to download this game it looks really fun
Hey @limber birch! Are you having trouble downloading the game? You can find the download of the game in #downloads! To run it, simple unzip all of the files into a folder, then click the .exe file. Be mindful that the game takes a few minutes to load, don't touch the black window before it does!
Lately, OneDrive has been locking files for people if the game is in Documents, Downloads, or Desktop. Gives permission issues. Learned it from Dolphin emulator and their switch to %AppData%.
Recently someone tried to install the game to drive E: which was formatted in a different file system, so the installer would not work due to journaling or something
The heck? That's super weird. I'm installing it inside Downloads in my E: file (which was my old HDD). I guess If this doesn't work I can try putting it in C: tomorrow to test it
is there a way to tell if a save file is crashed or what? My save file worked before i had these sprite issues and now it doesnt
corrupted not crashed
a question on downloading the game for mac. Been following this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S1wDYlPQ8g&t=355s downloaded the zip file for windows from the fandom page. Downloaded wine with homebrew. Trying to run the install/update script in the terminal. Keep getting the same message that "Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found."

i see my save file in the correct location but it doesnt show when i load up the game. Does that mean its corrupted or am i doing something wrong
Honestly it would probably be fine installing it to your E: if windows formatted it.
I suggest a fresh installs in C:/InfiniteFusion/ not just to avoid all these fringe cases, but also because a completely fresh install solves a lot of problems. And if the user won't try it given solid instructions, it means they're unable or unwilling to, and I can block them so as not to waste my time.
Like if someone tries the steps and shows how it doesn't work, we're in the troubleshooting and can start narrowing it down.
If they say they tried it and show a screenshot of the game running in Documents, I'm not going to keep telling them to follow instructions.
Alright. Seeing as it doesn't seem like it'll get past the black screen as is, I'll try installing in C: tomorrow and see if that helps.

I really need to stop saying the blck scren so I don't trigger the bot
is there a way to tell if my save file is corrupted? Its in the correct spot but when i load up the game i can only start a new game
stuck on credits scene what to do?
Hello I have a problem on joiplay I have this error message I don't know what to do
here we go again
https://i.imgur.com/v3us8uK.png
Oh shit wait it opened after an hour and a half lets go
Now I guess I just replace the old sprites which will probably take a while
@amber nacelle follow this
Check the top pinned comment
@whole moat thanks i will try
it was herans comment
I don't have a fix for incompatible marshal file format error. Let me know if you find one

I'm a little curious why that .RB file in particular. Where is your game.exe located?
Like I worry it could be the save but idk without more tests.
If you rename the save folder to start a new save file and it works, it's the save.
Then yeah
You need to extract the contents of the .zip
Try following this guide. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8B-upq069wvP3KIEblGVwGbHObmh9zWx8wJ0nQ9jJk/edit?usp=drivesdk
Your issue is that you are just clicking into the .zip and trying to run the .bat. you gotta take the stuff out of the .zip
If you're trying the preloaded ver, the sprites will not show up atm unless you use the top pinned comment or follow that guide.
help credits are not showing
Can I see the folder behind that window?
Looks fine. A bunch of .exe files in that other folder?
its like this
help credits are not showing
What should I do here?
if i run as other users it shows this

I see. What's your antivirus, out of curiosity?
Ok. This is a new one. The path it wants is clearly there...
Same error if you do it somewhere else?
Oh! What language or locale is Windows set to?
Oh!
Yeah that's probably it
ohhhhhhhh
You can try restart. Maybe system locale is still set to an east Asian even if windows display language is set to English
so where should i change to
I remember this stuff from running japanese VNs on a system messing up later install attempts
i live in singapore so
i'm trying to download the full preloaded version but the mirror is down
is there any alternative to the one provided in the download channel?
since i'm trying to play this on the steam deck i need the preloaded version
ok should i change it to europe or US?
Haven't done it in a while. Here is a page from Microsoft:
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/all/how-to-change-system-locale-in-windows-10-the/d7826ef0-13cd-43ea-8e01-2846d813dfed
Otherwise, maybe justerfrog5557 knows
I use the normal version on Steam Deck, but I play on wifi.
Here's a guide for you, with google drive download mirrors:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8B-upq069wvP3KIEblGVwGbHObmh9zWx8wJ0nQ9jJk/edit?usp=drivesdk
how do you install it on windows
OH boy do I have the guide for you.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8B-upq069wvP3KIEblGVwGbHObmh9zWx8wJ0nQ9jJk/edit?usp=drivesdk
Hey so whenever I beat the e4 the credits don't start playing it cust comes up woth a blank screen is there any way to fix this?
cool thanks heran... so i just download the windows version with preloaded since i wanna play offline
and then add through steam desktop mode
(in theory :))
The preloaded has issues atm. I suggest following that guide to the letter or your sprites will probably all be ?.
I've been seeing this a lot recently. What game version does the title screen say?
i have restarted my pc
5.3.0.6
its not working still
The latest is 5.3.0.7. if you still get it on the latest version, please report the bug in #bug-reports-newest-version
sounds good, i'll try following the steam deck guide then
Hallöchen Dieter. It's real. Here's a step by step guide to set it up. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8B-upq069wvP3KIEblGVwGbHObmh9zWx8wJ0nQ9jJk/edit?usp=drivesdk
How do I update it
Check that link I just posted
Hi could someone help me with a minor issue?
Depends on the issue, what's up?
so when im playing the game i occasionally get some lag as if its skipping frames and it can take up a minute to load different areas
is there anything i could do to fix this?
It might be something with mon box arrangement in the PC. Something about this in the pinned posts here.
Your best bet is to try the alternate launcher or preloaded version. Heck, try them both. Your save is elsewhere so it's fine.
But you have to set it up just right. The guide I linked a few posts up covers both.
alright thank you
Hey, im on steam deck and i try to update my game (my version is 5.2.0) but i dont know how to do with the new downloader
@jade sedge i still cant install the game
hello! I am nrew here and trying to play on my Mac OS. do i need another app to install ?
@lean sky can you give @ddman advice on Windows local issues?
@cursive crane @chilly prawn got a guide for you here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8B-upq069wvP3KIEblGVwGbHObmh9zWx8wJ0nQ9jJk/edit?usp=drivesdk
amazing thank you!
alright, game launches, just beat first rival battle, but sprites are ? :D
Hey you're getting there
Either the top pinned comment in here, or continue following the guide
ok so just add the sprite pack then it should work, right?
even though i am online right now connected to the internet
nvm my steam deck isn't connected, maybe that's why
help im stuck in the emd credits scene after beating blue
ok being online seems to make it work
Exact same as me
do you know how to fix it?
I'm trying at the moment
there is no 5.3.0.7 version for mobile really
Hey @low gust! The game isn't made to be played on mobile! You can try to use Joiplay to run it, but the game will likely be very slow, glitchy, or downright unplayable.
You can try following this guide: https://youtu.be/jADyChlJbF0
Nothing can likely be done about issues experienced on mobile, unfortunately. You can ask for help in the video's comments section if you'd like.
No dedicated mobile version of IF will be developed in the future.
Is there a way to update IF on joiplay
Its doesn't works
@jade sedge it stil gives me the error code while I did the steps what should I do now?
I'm having trouble downloading
I followed the instructions but it just isn't working
It's opening the Command Box then downloading but it doesn't do anything after that
what's the deal
I'm also having trouble downloading
Seems to be a game bug. Please post in #bug-reports-older-versions
I downloaded it and extracted the file but I can't get that game to open
Try from SSD somewhere in home dir, not from SD card.
There are missing files. You have to put the files in the correct place. This is in the top pinned post and it's covered in the guide.
Please re-read the top pinned post in this channel here, or don't skip any steps in the guide.
I can open the installer and get that going but it stops after that
Post a screenshot of the command box?
Hey @gilded mauve! Are you having trouble starting the game? If you are launching v5, and your screen is stuck on black at startup, don't worry, it's normal. Leave the game running for a few minutes and it will work eventually.
Do not click on the window during this, otherwise you'll get the error below and the game will close.

I've downloaded the update bit how do I get the download into joiplay
Sorry JoiPlay isn't officially supported and I haven't tried it. Can't help you there.
I'm having the issue of the black screen after defeating blue as champion is there any other way to solve it

Oh that. Think it's just a bug in the current version. Haven't heard of a fix
OK thank you
I would post it on #bug-reports-older-versions
yuh 1 sec
If enough people get the bug and report it properly, the dev might notice
@jade sedge Sorry to bother you, how would I do to completely delete the game so that I can reinstall it from scratch? whenever I delete it, it reinstalls with the previous saved configs
Whenever I try to play the game on my sell laptop with i5 and 8gb of ram, the game stutters and lags for a few seconds then goes back to normal whenever I go in a building or end a battle
The game and save are in different places. If you want to clear your save rename or delete %AppData%/InfiniteFusion
Thanks
Kinda just how it is.
You could check the pinned messages. Something about mons in PC boxes.
Or try the alternate launcher or preloaded version, but you gotta set those up just right atm or they don't work.
how do i update the game

Top pinned post in this channel is what you're looking for.
It says that it lost connection part way though. Check your internet connection and try again in a new folder.
It's there for convenience. But it's not officially supported. It's basically just the preloaded version I think.
fuck!
I will get on that
good idea smart thinkin
My connection was fine though IG it's just tweaking with the download
i wanwt to update not download
thnx

I also wanted to ask that my game takes enormous amount of time to load so is that common or is it because I had not installed the sprites?
im stuck in the end credits does anyone have a solution?
Hello, I have the same issue, it takes 10 sec when I load a new map and when I launch the alternative launcher, I have this issue:
A lot of files in CustomBattlers have a "." who need to be delete
how do i fix this ?
I need this as well
what "."?
all files have a "." in the "Graphics\CustomBattlers" folder
Yes but some of them are to much
I get a 5 second black screens after every encounter, every battle, and any time I enter a building. Is there a way to reduce the black screen time?
