is Mt. Moon completely dark for anyone else? is that a feature or a bug?
Hi, I got the first error trying to use the preloaded launcher, and yet when i go into the files, the missing file is indeed there. Any tips?
this is a known issue
no eta on fix yet
can someone help me? I use the alt launcher and want to update, can I just click in the installer/updater or do I need to download some extra folder for graphics?
yeah you can use the installer/updater, but as I noted above, alt launcher/preloaded is broken atm
how do i get rid of the black screen lag when entering and exiting buildings or battles
Hey @maiden mesa! 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.

Anybody figure out a way to get the launcher to stop crashing on install of the game?
I dont't know if this is the right channel, but how do I know if I have that thing that auto downloads sprite packs?
Hey @proven wasp! 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!
If you use Game.exe it will auto download sprites as you encounter them
Okay, so I don't have to do anything special, correct?
So whenever I click install on the launcher it prepares then just disappears
you didn't mention what you were trying to do so not sure lol you just asked about where the option is
mt moon? i'm having trouble there too
Is there a fix for the new installer not installing the IF? All I get is the error sound when clicking install and then it crashes
mt. moon on shrooms
for me its just blank black background
thats becaus eu have to change the file named Caves to caves
try it.
what folder?
graphics/tilesets
thank you
I'm asking if I have to do anything different on top of just the normal instillation to get this to work, but I'm guessing not?
tell me if it worked
if everything loosk well for you could you give me the tilesets ..mine are messed up xwx
Nope if you using Game.exe you don't need to download anything additional, you can just play
Thank you very much
same
its not letting me make it lowercase
same
thx let me try that
not for me tho xwx
my graphics ar esitll horrifying
is this how it looks for u guys?
could someone give me their entire tileset folder?
like copy all of them, i dont mind here or dm's
i have 32 items in my folder
i can delete that one
doesn't matter since it is a backup file not being used
well now the nubmer is even at least
i can upload and give to you
mhhh im sry to say this but couldsnt you just throw me the png files in here?
instead of a rar file from mediafire
im not uploading here 1 by 1 lol
in dm's ?
doesnt have to be 1 by 1 u can jsut mark them all and drag/n/drop them
i think the limit is 9 or 10
nah too much work i have things im doing
xwx
i can upload to google drive if you need but not doing 1 by 1
I just updated the files for Steam Deck: https://youtu.be/_j1u5GYkNPg
This will teach you how to download and install Pokemon Infinite Fusion for Steam Deck. This is the fastest and easiest way to do it!
Please Subscribe :) I am trying to reach my 1k goal and it would really help out. I also make new videos whenever a new version of the game or sprites comes out to keep you updated on anything new for the game....
my thing wont install
is it on preparing? let it wait out
i do then it crashes
weird
yeah
yeah a lot of people including myself are getting that issue
click install, get an error noise, launcher crashes
i only got this much
lol i just want to play new update
Just use the old installer, it still works
When you run the .bat file, it will give you an error that it cannot find a .zip file, but that is fine. That zip isn't used anymore and you can play the game on 6.0
where would i check to see if this is fixed?
downloaded them.
ok so ive changed every setting i can and tested, and my game still barely works. everytime i transition to a new map or from battle to the map, it takes an eternity to load. Loading into battle, animations, and everything else runs perfectly smooth, but getting from battle to movement takes over a minute long load time every time. can someone help me with this?
If your computer/internet is having this issue playing Game.exe, you will need to use the Alt Launcher/Preloaded version of the game. Unfortunately that isn't working due to the new release so have to wait for it to be fixed: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1173421145115066378
ok thats good to know. ty i appreciate it.
what do I do if the game crashes because of the custom base sprites?
Can I see the error, I suspect it is the same error I replied to above that isn't fixed
its this
Yup as mentioned above it is broken in this new version
Update your game or rename Cave.png to caves.png in the folder Graphics/Tilesets
so the alternate launcher is broken atm?
yes
and what's the difference between "game" and "game-default" for the launchers?
seems dark cave in johto is the same
I updated the guides and FAQ for 6.0:
#tech-support message
Current Guides are using the old installer, but they still work. I will work on new guides using the new installer tomorrow
i updated to no affect
I uploaded the file in case you need here, but that is the fix:
I did it, I've updated the game to 6.0 on steam deck
If anybody got questions just write me
Also in pvt if you need
Pin message has a video guide as well
so downloaded all the sprite from the mass sprites september file, yet when openning the game it still isnt showing the fusion sprites
I can't setup the game with a new install
The Computer said is "unsafe"
if you got the files from this discord it is safe, you just need to allow your computer to use them
like at all or looking for a specific one? not all the sprites in fusiondex are in the sprite packs
everyone that isnt a triple fusion
You are probably missing the Sprites.zip pack which index the sprites for you
Link to how to download sprites:
#tech-support message
Does anyone know what this is?
Well it's Norton that keeps deleting it, so how I can allowed my computer in settings?
yeah ive done this, however it didnt work. I'm going to try to move the custom sprites folder to the folder i think the 6.0 game is pooling sprites from
Hey @wispy siren! 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!
Anti viruses tell you what it detects is a "virus" and then you can tell it to allow it. You probably need to google it. Different norton software, different version have different UI to do this
Did you use the new installer for 6.0?
I did, but decided I’d rather use the old launcher/method, which has been updated with the old update method/tool to get it 6.0
then you should be using the old folders instead of the ones from the installer.
not the ones in appdata
Yep, moving them now, hopefully works
Ahhhhh mad as!!! Thanks, worked
Aight, time for so@e sweet scolipede fusions
Side note, is there any reason why the game is a bit slower, eg transitions from pc box to box?
Well in general, if you have all the sprites downloaded locally, it is better to run Alt Launcher / Game - Preloaded for better performance, but it is broken with this new update
so it is a known thing, PC is slow going from box to box
using normal Game.exe
do i need to put the new lancher in same folder it prepears closes but nothin after hat
rightttt gotcha, no worries
thanks megaman
Hi, so for some reason some of the fusion sprites are coming up as a question mark?
got it all working. thanks megaman
Perfect! The files include all the sprites as well in case you were wondering. So no need to download anything additional
yeah thanks for making it easy. also made sure to turn off sprite downloads as per the video instructions
do i need to put the new lancher in same folder it prepears closes but nothin after that @blazing python
I do not fully understand what you are saying. The new launcher is wanting to download in this path C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming
when i do that it prepares then it closes nothing else happens @blazing python
Can't find a way to Norton allowing the setup
Can you try these steps:
Turn off Download Sprites option in setting.
Leave the menu (if you don't, this won't work).
Go back to Settings.
Turn option back on.
will do
Dev of installer said this is due to high traffic/internet issues. Hopefully they find a fix. The old installer does still work if you want to play today
@blazing python it worked, thank you.
so how long should i wait u think to try again and thank u for all ur help
Which download link is for the preloaded one
I hope tomorrow, he said he went to bed like a handful of hours ago but not sure
if you want to use new installer, it is the github link in #downloads
If you want to use old installer, both version are downloaded from the same zip: #downloads message
Thanks
Could someone walk me through what I need to do to play the update, as my ability to think has been fried over the course of today.
I downloaded the launcher, I think, from the first link in in the recent @.everyone message in #announcements
Have you downloaded the game prior using the installer?
Then you should have install_or_update in your game folder
.bat, yeah
double click that and you are good. You will get an error about missing species.zip or data.zip, but that is fine. That isn't used anymore so ignore it
ight
and just to be sure this file dont matter right? ERROR: The system cannot find the file specified.
Data\species.zip
u need that
correct dont need it
yeah new installer requires that
Using the old updater and it giving me an error. Says the system can't find Data/species. zip
that is fine, dont need that file as it is not being used anymore. Game runs file on 6.0
So ignore the error then?
correct
Is there a thread for the windows cannot find '.\version_control\PortableGit\git-bash.exe'. make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again" problem?
Cool, thanks
Nevermind got the update to work
Can you show me a screenshot of your full error? There is usually something before that contributing
I dont have norton so that is why I recommended to google it
what file are you trying to open?
you downloaded an old version, not sure why they don't remove that from #downloads
if you want to use new installer, it is the github link in #downloads
If you want to use old installer (more reliable at the moment) InfiniteFusion.zip: #downloads message
I'm getting this message on steamdeck even after installing the .net framework
I updated my steam deck guide here: #tech-support message
Files are updated for 6.0 even though the video is for 5.3.1.3 but same process
Hi! I keep getting an error talking abou dubious ownership? even though this is the first time ive downloaded?
can you show full error in your command prompt with a screenshot, easier to troubleshoot with it
hello
i keep getting this message despite me running as admin
ive just been redirected from game help to here
does anyone have any advice:(
i just wanna see my new sprites
Don't have a fix for that yet, but you can use the old installer to play 6.0 if you'd like
should i just wait for the fix or use the old installer
Think this worked thanks!!
your preference to be honest, nothing wrong with old installer
Glad it worked!
That is a new bug, Game-Preloaded isn't playable for anyone
if i use the old installer will it be harder to update with future updates compared to the new launcher?
So… it’s supposed to be gone?
Both require 1 click to update so it isn't harder or easier
if you want to use Preloaded on 6.0 you need to wait for a fix: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1173421145115066378
Alright! Ill use the okd one
In case you need link to it InfiniteFusion.zip: #downloads message
You will get an error about missing species.zip or data.zip, but that is fine. That isn't used anymore so ignore it
@blazing python Do you also have a fix for taking a bit to exit a battle?
that is just based on your computer/internet when playing Game.exe
You can try putting the option to download sprites over the internet to Off if you have sprites downloaded locally
might help a bit
here is my error. also says cannot find file specified
Will do that
You need to move InfiniteFusion folder to desktop
It won't work directly on C:/InfiniteFusion because you will get perimission errors. Desktop easiest place to run
game is crashing in safari zone atm. newly downloaded 6.0
Can you post this in #1142871804269052004 with a screenshot of your error message
will do. have to get another screenshot. geforce screenshot doesn't get the overlaid error message
help caves are not rendering
https://i.imgur.com/kmaNEnQ.png this is supposed to be mt moon
Oh good this is exactly the thing I just came looking for, thank you.
In short Caves.png need to be renamed to caves.png (all lowercase). I also provided the png to fix it as well
someone knows what to do??
righteous thanks
Any additional info you can provide like what you were doing when this happened
does anyone know how to update the game on mac
Did you have the game downloaded prior using the installer?
Just rerun install_or_update
and it should auto update it?
Yeah
You will get an error about a .zip file missing but ignore it. That file isn’t used anymore and you can play the game on 6.0
do you know which folder its located in?
Main folder
leveling in the herb right of celadeon city
Where your game.exe is
Yeah it is in drive_c . I can open my Mac in like 2 min to help if you don’t find it
bro theres so many different folders
inside every one of them
i can send screenshots if that helps
If you want I have the game files from my Mac wineskin tutorial you can use
I updated the files to 6.0 in the description
Nice! Yeah that me haha
I've tried redownloading the game, downloading the sprite and full sprite folders and still can't get the game to run
i literally have ur video bookmarked in case of an update too
i even left a comment a few minutes ago 🤣
Haha yeah I just got back from San Diego trip so making updated tutorials tomorrow
But the files I provided for 6.0 work using the same method. At the end I say what you can do when a new version comes out
yup I need to download the main file and just copy and paste it into the folder
and it should automatically adjust
Better to just replace the whole folder not just 1 file fyi
gotcha man thank you so much for your help
Yeah if you still have issues I can get my Mac and show also
Is anyone having this problem with Mt Moon being completely black
it happens after my Grovyle/Azumarill fusion goes to lvl 25 and learn play rough
Id recommend posting this in #1142871804269052004 with your screenshot and that info so it doesn't get lost in this chat
ooh okay thank youu
how do you patch the new version into an existing one?
have you installed this game prior using teh installer?
having some issues using the new installer? I can open it, but can't move the window. News is empty, and i have an "install" button. It asks for file path, but no matter what i pick i get an error noise and no error message.
How do you install the latest version without losing your save on mobile?
Hey @vital canyon! 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 #tech-support message
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.
yes
i have it but dont know how to patch it
run install_or_update.bat again and you are good
?
I mentioned if you ran it with the installer before. If you did, you used that file to install the game with the installer
double click it again and it will update your game
what does your game folder look like right now?
currently stuck on this screen and install just gives an error noise
Same.
I'm going to try the old updater and see if that one works for me ^_^
I recommend using the old installer if you getting that error. No fix for users with that issue right now
fair enough
What version are you currently on?
old installer will work. You WILL get an error that a zip file is missing that it is fine. That zip isnt used anymore so ignore it and you can play 6.0
5.2
thanks! Just started it up, working great! on 6.0 now ^_^ 😄
when i click in play in the launcher only dissapear for a second and open again the launcher @blazing python
5.2
Better to just install the game with the zip and not worry about your old files. Your save file is in a different folder anyways
ok but how
i also have this problem - no one seems to have a solution
I recommend using the old installer if you getting that error. No fix for users with that issue right now
Waiting for dev to announce a fix, but old installer works
wait in my file i dont have the update thingy
you should if you extract it
ok
Hey guys i updated the game & the alternate launcher disappeared. Every time i open the game now is super slow. What can i do ?
Keep getting this error after trying to get past game main screen
Alt Launcher is now named Game-preloaded. It is also currently broken. No ETA on fix
If you open Game.exe and it is slow, that is due to your computer and internet. We normally say use the Alt Launcher/Preloaded, but that is broken so gotta wait at the moment
You connected to internet? Says it cannot download a file
Yeah, I'm connected to the internet
you on 6.0?
Yes
So im wasting my time trying to get Preloaded to work....
I recommend reinstalling, that should be with your game by default
at the moment yes
Dam thanks for the info, it was really helpful
I have done that twice so far
Here is the bug created to track it: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1173421145115066378
Rip ig I gotta deal with long overworld load times ;-;
oh wait it says permissions denied, where did you install the game?
Probably in a folder with low permissions
Workaround that might help is installing all sprites and having the option Download Sprites turned off in settings
In a folder I made on my desktop for the game
Yeah not sure, seems to be an issue on your computer somewhere since that is a permissions issue
nothing with the game
whenever i try to install the game from the launcher after some seconds it pops off
any suggestions?
I recommend using the old installer if you getting that error. No fix for users with that issue right now
you get this error when you dont extract your zip file
how do?
I linked you a video
k
right click the .zip file and select Extract All
Hello sir
Mine also having some problem ca you help
My game deleted because of some problem
And I tried the launcher
But every time it keep saying
This
Now what to do
I would recommend deleting the InfiniteFusionLauncher folder and installing again
This pop up is fine. Can you click Install?
But every time I click installl it take sometimes and after that it close on its own not doing anything
Please sir please do something
I want to play the game only
Yeah some users are getting that issue. No fix at the moment. I reccomend using the old installer if you want to play today or wait for a fix
ok, I'm sorry if this is old news, but I legit cannot download the new version. I glanced at some stuff that says "oh, it just detects it's from an unlisted source, so it thinks it's a virus, but it's clean"....
But Windows Defender just does not allow me to download the game, through github or the direct link in the discord. And when I try to see what's going on...... it gave me this: a warning about a trojan, that sticks around for 4 seconds, then it's gone
Old installer is working fine. I did this multiple times now and still working. You will get an error about .zip missing but you are good
Make sure yo use this one: #downloads message
Show me your error in a screenshot
One sec let me send you the pic
If you using this installer, you should not get that at all: #downloads message
Some anti virus still delete due to your personal security settings, but it is a safe file to download
well, I was using the one in the announcements 
@blazing python do i have to put the new files in the old zip ?
any idea what causes this?
nope
But where is the game
but it still says tha its version 5.2
you have to open the game from where you ran the installer, not from your old files
ok
Can you try moving InfiniteFusion to your desktop instead of Saved Game folder
You are not on 6.0 version are you?
this is me downloading the link via downloads channel and trying to launch
where is the patch data for 6.0?
the links always get you to the latest version, but which file you opening to open the game?
Cant be in a OneDrive folder either
game preloaded
That is currently broken
great
No it is in Onedrive/Desktop
has to be C;\Users\HP\Desktop
You have it on C;\Users\HP\Onedrive\Desktop
Let me do it
its working now
hey, i was told to come to this channel for help.
thx
Ok, so I was in the wrong channel, sorry about this everyone
I imagine I'm in the right one now
so on the update man they are saying there is an option to change my difficulty. but ive gone through all the options and there is nothing there
So here is my issue: It all started with the mt moon error. I went to try to fix the game, my launcher stopped working so I had to close. When I came back, if I hit fix again, it crashed, if I hit uninstall, it crashes, if I press play nothing happenned. I tried to manually uninstall now but when I click open game folder, it leads me to my docs folder and nothing on it. I tried the older launcher but it gives me the missing species.zip error. I think I somehow locked myself away from the game, somehow the launcher think I have the game installed when it leads me to a folder without the game
then you have to find a way to turn off onedrive
this is a known issue with the installer and onedrive
With the old installer, it saying you are missing species.zip is fine. That is an old file not being used in 6.0. You can play the game fine with the old isntaller, ignore that error
oh.. ty
yeah it wont work for you cause onedrive. somehow need to it on a non onedrive folder with permissions. Maybe try inside documents, but you are going to have to try it yourself. It is hard to do with these newer laptops all trying to get you to use onedrive lol
Can someone help me install? I have the launcher but whenever I click install it just crashes after a couple minute a
ok so i can launch through "game" which launches 6.0, but i have some issues. Normally played 5.1.1.1 on alternate launcher preloaded, now experiencing long black screens after battle and in transition between areas. also went into battle and i am missing some sprites? in Ilex forest aipom and nincada are missing sprites, probably more
Known issue for some users and no eta on fix. Recommended to use old installer
Hey @sweet void! 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
Do I need the files to install? Or should the launcher already have the files?
Yes sir
Where is the old launcher?
If you need a video, there is 1 pinned to this channel
Yeah Game is slow depending on your internet and computer. If this is slow I recommend you using Alt launcher, but it is broken...
C:\Users\HP\Documents
The new update seemed to have made all the pokemon fly (in the battles)... Is that just me?
also missing sprites aren't the question mark ones, but an empty shadow with no sprite at all
that folder u tagged me in doesnt have a launcher or anything
Ok let me try
i install from launcher and i check the option to download sprite pack but i dont known if that install i see this in the custom battlers
Old installer is a folder and installer_or_update.bat file
double click the .bat file and it runs the installer
No. I think you have to wait for New Installer fix sorry
No worries, I was hoping it would work
But how much I have to wait for the fix
Though I am really looking forward to it
Now I can't play it also
No sir it's fine
I will just wait
The time I can play this game
i install from launcher and i check the option to download sprite pack but i dont known if that install i see this in the custom battlers
@blazing python
I noticed the same thing, I was expecting all sprites but i dont see either
For some reason, every time I press "install" on the launcher the entire thing just freezes up and closes itself
probably better to just drop all the sprites in rather than comparing them to save your time
probably just doin' something wrong
No that is a bug with the installer, no eta with fix
a h
you can still use old installer though
You will get an error saying species.zip is not found, that is ok to ignore. That file is not used anymore
alright, thanks again
Also just fyi, Alt Launcher/Game-preloaded is broken at the moment if you planning on using that
@blazing python any way to fix sprites not appearing in old launcher 6.0? and what is the difference between game and game-default?
Good news, I finally figured out the error and reinstalled the game after restarting my computer. Bad news, game freezes after opening animation plays and goes black
What do you mean not appearing? And we don't have information on what the difference is
the erm, updater isnt opening
so i updated to the new version and started a new modern mode game, overwriting the save of an old game, and my pc seems to still have all the pokemon from my old save and the game lags really bad when i access it
if you chose New Game +, that is correct about using pokemon from old saves
First pinned message in this channel
ok, its intentional then. was i supposed to just hit "new game" then?
your preference on what type of run you wanted to play
ok, thank you
Can we have more information?
when i click the updater.exe nothing happens and nothing also happens when i run it as an admin
I don't know what that file is. If you using old installer, you use install_or_update.bat. If you use the new installer, it is a completly different name
so i downloaded this from announcements and installed it, what do i do next
Ok back with a new one cause I decided to go with preloaded cause the load times and got this
Preload is broken atm, no eta on fix
Ah
I am having the same issue where the UPDATE.bat is not recognising and talks about some GIT bash
Whenever I try to play with the new launcher, it just tells me I need to install the game although it is already installed
Play the game lol when you open the installer it should say play if you said you installed it. If you didn't install it, it should say Install
Are there any settings or changes I can make that would make the loading faster?
new launcher installs a new folder, it won't take your current files
its bc this comes up
that is expected, select Yes
ok
probably downloading sprites locally and turning off Download Sprites inside in game settings. Alt launcher still better but you have to wait
If I download the game from the website as it says it was last updated 1 day ago, does that mean I have to delete the old file?
what website?
fake site
This keeps on popping up. Everytime I click on on it it waits a while, then crashes
the game doesn;t have a website, only discord is trusted
Should it be possible to move my save file over to preloaded once it's fixed?
some users have that problem. No fix atm. Recommended to use old isntaller or wait for a fix
Oh ok
Save file is stored in only 1 location, so it is usable on any version of the game
This is how I installed the game?
Nice
As I mentioned there is no website for the game this is fake
Thanks again @blazing python
so when it says to send the install into a file, do i send it into my original launcher
Been playing off that download for months now. But now that there is an update I can't do the update
this file
no it will create new files, you dont need your old files anymore
why is this happening?
but my save data transfers?
I would run a virus scan on your computer to be honest. No one here manges those files so I would becareful
yeah save file is stored somewhere else
are you on the latest version?
ok
was trying to update but got this instead
Does this mean this is the new version and it's updated?
that error is fine using the old installer. That file isn't used anymore but you cut off the screen so not sure if other error on that page
how long does the install take
@blazing python ok reinstalling 6.0 on old installer fixed the sprites, no idea what happened earlier
dunno if reinstalling would fix it
windows defender detects the launcher and the zip. as a troyan virus, i dont know what to do
No PhyFs error is a known issue, means your Game.exe is not playable on your computer due to specs of it. You have to use Alt Launcher/Game-Preloaded but that is broken right now
so i have to wait until the alt launcher is fixed?
I had that issue. Disable windows defender
If you got the files from this discord, they are trustable
DO NOT DO THAT lol
I got the Preload to run by doing something really dumb and long
Worked for me
Definately how you get viruses downloaded on your machine
yes i downloaded form the dicord link to github
Yes that is the new installer. Hopefully it works for you
about 50/50 it works for people
Also this keeps happening whenever I try to install the new version of the game. It keeps on telling me it can’t find data\species.zip and it won’t add the new Pokémon
didnt work for me, the launcher keep crashing trying to instal the game and the zip. version says it have virus, so... i guess i would wait for a future update of the launcher and the zip ver.
You are good, that zip.file isn't being used. you updated to 6.0 just fine
So which one of these is the new update then. I'm confused now?
Oh ok thanks
First post in #downloads IF launcher
?
If you have the prior installer or download it, it updates to 6.0 just fine. The new installer is having problems though
Preloaded is broken atm, no ETA on fix
thanks
Yup the one that says IF Launcher
Then the 2nd one?
Yes
Yeah? Lol
Has the Randomizer issue been fixed by chance?
is that just from downloading it? Why is it trying to rename it?
That is just the message that comes up
haven't seen any issues with it today, but I can't confirm
Looks like it's working. I guess I could have just checked XD
I've been seeing the new installer popup up anti virus stuff today, but that is the installer the devs announced today.
Pokemon infinite fusion error script httpcalls.rb line 70 name error occured
lol! that is good to know!
Android?
Yes
So in future if I was just to delete the game, does the save file remain and I won't lose progress?
@blazing python How fix it
I only have 2 fixes for android. They are in the 1st pinned message in the channel. Other than that I dont know. Android hard to troubleshoot since this game does not support android
Correct. Your save file is stored in the AppData folder, not in the game folder
why does my game take forever to load when i open the menu or walk into a building?
launcher isnt working installation wise for my friend-- it goes Preparation for a variable length of time and then crashes--is 6.0 still available through the usual sources?
So I can delete the old files in winzip and redownload and it will have my current progress still saved? Is that what ya mean?
yeah you can use previous installer instead. it is about 50/50 that the new installer works right now
Change the size of the map
nm saw your edit
how woulf i do that?
In the game options
ok thanks
new installer. Old one works fine. you will get an error that it is missing species.zip but that is old text. you can ignore that error
ty
safely ignorable?
yeah
tyvm
yeah your game folder and the folder your save is stored is separate. So you can do whatever you want with your game folder
I shall see if that works when I redownload if it bring it to a new version
@fiery heath how would i change the size of the map
i went into the game options and couldnt see anything like that
Hold up, I'll send it to ya shortly
why did my rockruff egg hatch into pikachu in the secret garden
So quick question for everyone here...
I try to install the game from the launcher, and nothing happens. The installer sits on "Preparation" for a while, then the launcher exits.
I tried opening the console, and not a single word appears on it at any point during this process.
What is going on? o.o;
Screen size
oh ok thanks
Known issue right now, new installer works 50/50 for users. You can still use prior installation methods if you want to play 6.0 or wait for fix
i did try that and it didnt help
also my opponents sprites are just question marks
I found the fix on my end. Instead of opening the update file from winzip. I opened the file in my documents and then found the update bat in there. Worked straight away and now have 6.0. Took less than 30 seconds to update.
Thanks for the help though @blazing python
To fix ? marks:
Turn off Download Sprites option in setting.
Leave the menu (if you don't, this won't work).
Go back to Settings.
Turn option back on.
i went and hatched rockruff egg but a pikachu came out
Do you have the sprite pack downloaded.
You should post this in #1142871804269052004 with any screenshots you have
Where do I find the prior methods?
I used to just download, extract, and click the .exe to play. 😮
But there's nothing in the #downloads channel. 😮
2nd post in #downloads has InfiniteFusion.zip
i just redownloaded the game so im not sure
If you want a guide, look at the first pinned message in this channel
And that one is 6.0?
Yes. You will get an error that says species.zip is missing but that is fine. You can ignore that and the gme will be on 6.0
someone help me ? When I start the game I get this
Alrighty. 😮
Thank you, Megaman.
Game-preloaded is broken. No ETA on fix
any solution ?
Performance is based on your computer and internet. If it is slow, we recommend using the Alt Launcher/Game-Preloaded but it is broken right now
are the new pokemon index currently broken or is there a way to fix them
you have to encounter them in game or index them yourself by creating the folders for them
nothing wrong with them not being indexed
i am using a laptop but i have good internet
only workaround I could think of is you installing all the sprites locally and turning off the option to download sprites online from in game settings, but not sure how much that would help. Game-Preloaded is the best way to run the game for performance but unfortunately that is broken right now
how would i install all the sprites?
Here is instructions on how to properly install sprites:
#tech-support message
I tried using the alternate launcher, and it threw me errors and didn't seem to install anything. ._.
alt launcher is broken right now due to the new update
So when you said new installer is 50/50, just keep trying it and hope it might work?
no I meant new installer actually installing the game in general
alt launcher/game-preloaded doesnt work for anyone right now
Yeah, I'll just keep trying to install with the new installer and hope it might work. O_O
it wont it is a path issue with the location of the sprites
AH. x.x
also the ingrain spirte is out of place i just figured id say it here cuz i dont know where else
dev has to fix, not something to get lucky with lol
Ah, so there is no way to download the game at all until a fix is released.
You can still download the game and play using the prior installer. But when you get to 6.0 only regular Game.exe will work, not alt launcher
I tried downloading this, the second post, and this is what I got errors with, unable to do anything. X_X
So I'm thinking I'm misunderstanding your instructions. x.x
Yeah that one does work
Let me see the error you getting with that zip file because it does work
oh certificate issue, I have a fix for that
Oh?
Use this one instead: #tech-support message
You will still get an error that says it can't find species.zip but ignore it. That is a bug with the text (so many bugs I know)
Ah good, that one does seem to work.
I really appreciate your help on all of this, Mega; I imagine rushing around putting 6.0 fires out is not a fun job. 😅
No prob! Glad it works! I just volunteer to help so I just like helping ppl to play this game 🙂
I’m not sure if someone else has sought help for this problem yet, but I literally just figured out how to download this game a week ago and have it setup in my Steam library so I can comfortably play it on my steam deck through the hardware OS… that being said, I have no idea what hoops I now have to jump through to update. It was simple to download using a specific link from someone on YouTube because every other link I tried was struggling with Linux I guess, so has anyone updated this game on the steam deck?
Hey @dim ferry! 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 .bat file. Be mindful that the game takes a few minutes to load, don't touch the black window before it does!
Spent 2-3 hours finally got everything and got the preloaded to semi work ;-;
I have a video on youtube that sounds similar to what you described. I updated my files for the video though to 6.0
Link to the guides are here: #tech-support message
Omg, I literally just started rewatching your video. Consider me star struck
Glad I could help you out! 🙂
@blazing python the only issue perload was having was it couldnt get all the custombase sprites right?
The code has a bug trying to reference a folder incorrectly
oh then how the f did I get it to work...
No idea lol it is basically wanting to find a blank folder with no name before getting the sprite from custombase sprite
Yeah so what I did was used debug to spawn every base pokemon then went through the sprite list on the pokedex and it added everything in and it works for me now
Megaman, does 6.0 not have the randomizer feature in place?
It should. I believe you need a save file to then create a 2nd save with a randomizer
OHHHHH...so if I start, then exit the game, and start a new game, the randomizer should then be an option?
yes
Ah, thank you very much. O_O
Gods, imagine if PvP ever could actually come to this...though I know that's well outside of RPG Maker XP's scope. @_@
@blazing python would you want me to send the zip of my custombaseSprites Floder for a temp fix and see if that works for other people for the preloader?
Just to make sure I understand correctly, do I have to reinstall the game and then transfer my save file manually?
No on Steam Deck it is a little unique. I think I go through it in the video but you would put that new folder on the Desktop. Then open Steam and go to your Pokemon Infinite Fusion Game and go to properties
Then on the field that saws Target, change that to be the path to your Game.exe in the new folder. If you do this, you don't do anything with youe save
it will take it automatically
Where is that vid? And on steam deck can you just hit update in the launcher?
Sure you can send to me and I can try it on my end to see if it fixes it
First pinned message in this channel: #tech-support message
oh mb thanks
Video will be updated tomorrow, but I updated the files to be 6.0 in the description so it will all work regardless
welp. I cant see in the mt moon after badge 1, and flash does not solve the issue
oh, did not expect it to be common
sent it
So when you say New Update folder (going off the video) is the contents of that folder the updated files under the video? I’ve always been confused when updating games because it takes me awhile to understand what the hardware naturally transfers from one folder to the next. If I have to versions of the same game on my device and steam is reading from the new folder’s location, then it will still access or transfer my old save into the new folder? Making the old folder obsolete and ok to delete? Did I get that right?
If I have two*
Yeah steam will only read whatever game you are using from the steam library itself
So just make sure these two are changed to point to the new folder
Has anyone else's antivirus flagged something infinite fusion was doing as ransomware attack? I let it go through, it said the game was doing something to an icon folder, I assume downloading / replacing the sprite that just got updated or something
Hello! Will the game launcer work for downloading the game later (it is just overwhelmed at the amount of traffic) or is it straight up broken?
yeah the new installer from Github has been getting flagged like that but it was provided to us from the dev
I don't think traffic has anything to do with it right now. Right now it either works for ppl or tries to install and then crashes. The old installer still works though so you can play 6.0 using the old method
Now im even more confused on how I got mine to work....
Wait let me try again
It works! I put it in an old version of the game since I was making tutorials. On 6.0 with the files it works surprisingly. Not sure how it works
woooo temp hot fix ig tell it gets fixed ig XD
yeah you are a hero!
so ive gone to install the sprites and stuff but there arent all the files
in the game folder
what do i do?
Did you use these instructions?
Here is instructions on how to properly install sprites:
#tech-support message
i am watching the video
I am confused then by what you mean not all the files are there
If the new version installer is not working, what should I do?
These are all the files supposed to be in the folder
And these are the only files I have
anyone know how to transfer the updated sprites to the new 6.0 launcher? Some sprites aren't custom esp during battles like before.
Use the old installer if the new is not working for you. 2nd post in #downloads
Is 6.0 coming to mobile?
Hey @keen timber! 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 #tech-support message
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.
Those files missing is because the installer didn't finish/work. This doesn't have anything to do with sprites
It is the same process if you have done it in the past of dropping them in your Graphics/CustomerBattlers folder
i know but im trying to install the sprites to fix my other problem
got it ty!
Android isn't supported officially. So if someone manages a workaround then not at the moment
Thank you. I just don't wanna have forever ?'s in my game
Thanks, I think this is working
im sure its been said or ask about before but my launcher gets stuck on preparation then just closes
then you are probably working with the wrong folder or something, You need to use whatever folder you have to open the game with
Yeah this is the same problem I am having
To fix ?s follow this:
Turn off Download Sprites option in setting.
Leave the menu (if you don't, this won't work).
Go back to Settings.
Turn option back on.
I don't have the game installed at all on this computer as far as I know
This is a known issue with the new installer and no eta on fix. You have to use old installer if you want to play 6.0 or wait for a fix
i downloaded from the announcements that came out today and i didnt get any files
how? weren't we talking earlier and your game was working just running slow?
yes but i cant find the files
if you didnt change the path it is here: C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\infinitefusionlauncher
what is the new way to manually update? I dont see anything that is obvious to me as to what that would be in the folder
Game crashed after getting, "Nilclass,".
There's no fix for the game being stuck on preparation with new launcher yet right? I just have to update it the other way?
I believe I helped you earlier. If you used the installer previously you should have install_or_update.bat. you just run that again
You can use the old installer, it still works
fair enough
@blazing python I seem not to be getting the auto generated sprited to show up on the preloaded version .-.
Thank you for all your assistance!
is there a way to only have custom sprites in the game? I remember that being a feature. OR am I misremembering?
I remember that being a setting when using the randomizer
yea seems it wasn't showing me only custom sprites after updating
Hey @pliant rose! 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!
Randomizer is always iffy after an update. Might have to mess with the Black Suit guy in the pokecenter and try different randomize options to "reset" it
okie
That is a new bug with 6.0
Thread in bug-report said they reinstalled and it fixed it
sorry for the dumb question but this is the old updater right and works for current version?
#downloads message
Yes correct
thanks you the best
I've been playing the game for A few days (I left it on while I was sleeping.), and I have only had it occur just now... Is it instant or is it delayed... When it occurs from when you load the game up with the bug, I mean...
Just FYI, you will get an error about species.zip is missing, but you can ignore that. It is not used anymore but the game will still install 6.0 and work
Yeah I noticed that too but when I ran everything seemed to work so I ignored it lmao
is the alternate launcher still broken?
we found a workaround!
I put it there
Just download the sprite pack imo
that doesn't work for this issue
Oh really? Sorry I just woke up
This is an issue with the "customBaseSprites" folder, not CustomBattlers or Battlers that the sprite packs contain
Oh ok
Even with this workaround, auto gen is still a little funky but still playable and no crash error like prior
Why don't you just redownload from the GitHub the game ?
And paste it in the installed folder ?
Normally everything is in the GitHub source code
tinkering wit hthe suit guy didn't seem to change much, but i will wait till an update for the game happens to fix it
What's your problem?
the game isn't showing me only custom sprites
Hey @pliant rose! 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!
even after downloading the spet sprite pack
Oh
Anyone else struggling with the launcher?
yeah new launcher is 50/50 right now
Alright, just making sure it's not just me. It keeps crashing/closing after starting to prepare
I know it seems you already did it but. Did you ask the black man only custom AND reshuffle?
yeah that is a known issue right now
If you don't reshuffle it won't work
you can still use the old isntaller to get 6.0 though
Appreciate it!
i will try to reshuffle cuz all i did was try to reset it
Normally you can't reset something randomized. You can only edit then reshuffle if I'm not wrong
okie
Tell me if I'm wrong or not please
just installed the launcher & to v6 updating from an older version.
All cave textures are just black screens
Hey @trail warren! 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
ok but just to make sure i did check and see i did have custom sprites turned on still
rn i'm trying to install the game but for some reason everytime i instal it it just goes caput and won't download {it crashes and closes as well}
new installer is 50/50 it will work. If it crashes I recommend using old installer
ah ok so will it still download all the new stuff?
yeah, you will get an error about species.zip is missing, but you can ignore that. It is not used anymore but the game will still install 6.0 and work
ok
So it seems like the preloader just doesnt want to download anything from the internet so the auto gen wont show up unless you seen them in the normal version.
tyyyy
@blazing python you know if theres anyway to auto complete the entire pokedex or nah?
like just to mark them off in your pokedex or your talking about getting all the sprite files/folder for them as well?
Just mark them off
ah no, I haven't tried looking either though
i think reshuffling might've solved it
erm, i dont have the old installer
thats why i asked what the new way to manually update was
6.0 isnt available on mobile
so no more update.bat type things? I gotta download a whole file?
that zip contains install_or_update.bat
that is how you normally install the game
today is the first time they introduced the new installer, but normally it is through that .zip file
kermit tell me where pls. unless its still too new that they dont have it yet
these are all the new files
you should be on 6.0 now
@blazing python last thing from me auto gen is Only Funky with the 41 new pokemon rest are fine if you fuse them in the dynamic version they then work
Oh got it. Yeah I guess because they are new, it needs to be pulled down from dynamic since we don't have that data saved yet in any sprite packs
when i press install in the launcher, it says "preparing", and then it crashes
known issue and no eta on fix. You can use old installer if you want 6.0
ill try running it with admin now, maybe that fixes it
i understand that. but when there is a new update how will i update
if you got the files from the new installer, then the new installer
but the save file is stored somewhere else so you don't have to worry about your save file ever disappearing if you delete this folder
or if the update creates a new folder
nah that didnt fix it, gonna use the normal version then ig
I'm getting this with the normal version
tryna install the update but layncher keeps doing this then crashing
I know I have this issue too Qwq
I gtg now but hopefully theres a solution for when I come back
The solution is to use the old installer I think
So ya, I deleted the old version of the game and tried your YouTube method for the new update, and I simply can’t get it to start. I updated proton and tried each exe file, but nothing will run. I’m not sure if you have the right link because after I open the extracted version, it has three exe files (game.exe, game-preloaded.exe, and game-default.exe) when before it was just the normal version and alternate version. Maybe the problem is something else, but I’ll let you know your video you’re about to upload already has one view.
do i need to download both or 1 of them?
I figured it out. The png and jpg files somehow were fucking with it. Had to manually add it to steam again instead of just changing the location in properties on the previous version
Double check your save file it might have been moved doing that
if you are on windows, setup.exe, if not, the 2nd
I don’t want to explain what I did because I will probably just be poor reference. But I figured it out more or less.
ggs
does anyone know what happened here?
i downloaded it now what?
it was working fine in the beginning
now you open it and install it
seem's like a problem with the download of the zip
i get this when i click it
run anyway don't worry
it's just that it doesn't have a signature so windows take it as a virus
so i installed the folder in the announcements (the first one cuz im on windows) and whenever i actually open the launcher to install it after installing the software it needed it just says preparation and closes itself
do i click next now
Yes.
Because there is too much traffic on github
it also says create desktop shortcut do i click that too?
So try to install it manually from https://github.com/infinitefusion/infinitefusion-e18/releases
just a click to open kinda thin
not obligatory, do as you want
lowkey i might just wait till all of these bugs r fixed or until im forced to download it
click yes?
Hey, I downloaded the new launcher and installed the game but every time i go to click "play" it flashes briefly, then nothing happens
since the old launcher still works
Yes
It's okay, just launch from the old launcher directly in the game folder
Just try this, and say us if it's working like that
do i put it in the pokemon infinite fushion folder?
ok yea that method works
hopefully they fix a lot of these issues tho cuz until them ima use the old version
no, it's just an installer for a software of microsoft
you will need to lauch it too
so click save or cancel?
Save
then?
and now
you close and you reopen pokémon infinite launcher
it's probably in your startup menu
if not you have to reinstall it as you already did
does anyone know if i can play this on an r4 card?
no, it's a rpg maker game, not a rom hack
💀
the first picture or the second one
can i use the custom sprite folder in android so i dont have to download sprites while playing?
Hey @velvet pagoda! 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 #tech-support message

No dedicated mobile version of IF will be developed in the future.
the first again. but before, try to do a research in your startup menu if the software isn't already installed
what should I do here? just unzip the second file?
what do you mean?
there, search the software in this menu
or look on your desktop if the shortcut isn't there too
if not either, then open the one in your first screen
so are you trying to say i should first to try open the game if it is updated
Do you mean the Launcher knowing that a Old Version is in the Computer?
no, I mean you have to just search if the launcher is installed... What don't you understand ?
I don't understand what you are saying...
oh sorry my English is very Bad because it's not my Main Language but i understand what you mean 😅
np i'm french
I just speak it fluently
try to google translate your sentence if you want, it should be understandable
why did i get this when i clicked it?
I don't speak german, but don't worry about it, it's a false positive
just continue your install
Ok i translate it with google lens
click on toestaan, don't worry
‘pokemon infinite fusion has no valid digital signature’ rough translation
yeah thanks, that's what I understood with translation
you were a little faster with it lol
No problem
Though actually I understand more :
This software has an external connection, do you allow it ?
As it talks about an external connection with discord with a TCP protocol
what does that mean
Yeah, im native dutch, it bazically sais that its not an official software or softwate publisher recognised by the firewall if im not mistaken. You do maybe want to delete the image bcs ur local ip is in there 😅
it means norton is sus when the software tries to connect to the internet, but it’s pokemon infinite fusion, which won’t try to blow up your pc
true and thank you Boenk
bc it’s not recognized indeed^
Np!
do i click install
yep
does anyone know why the shell file wont run?
Because its shellfish!! No no clue bro sorry
man..
Because it doesn't like you
I've been trying to for like 3 days lmao
alright i clicked it now what?
I suggest you to manually do the update by downloading this and extract it https://github.com/infinitefusion/infinitefusion-e18/releases
now you have what ?
the guide says I need to make it executable by going into properties but I cant do that because im on a chromebook so I used the command instead
Probably a pop up asking you to choose a folder
but it doesnt seem to work
sad
Wait chromebook can boot windows software now ?
It's not only android ?

no but I do have linux....
Oh
I also have the wine thing for linux but idk what role that actually plays in this lmao
i clicked ok last time and it did noting
click ok
seems awkard if it did nothing
be patient
Actually I don't know, it's been a wile since the last time I used wine sorry
Probably ?
Oh i probably know, you launch it in wine directly this updater ?
Because in the cmd it says .exe at all lines
it closed
My launcher just sits at Preparation... then gives a popup saying pokemon infinite fusion launcher has stopped working
perhaps
I think it might be because the shell file isnt in the folder with the other things let me try that first
Ok so you two @jolly cape and @buoyant shard
Download this file
https://github.com/infinitefusion/infinitefusion-e18/archive/refs/tags/6.0.zip
Oh, I still have the problem that I want to install the game and then it just closes during preparation. I'm trying everything to fix the problem, or rather find a solution, but it's frustrating. qwq
Open it and copy the folder where you want
for you @buoyant shard I suggest you to copy it in C:\Users\prgr\AppData\Roaming
Same for you @misty estuary but change prgur with your user folder
oh whats that
It's the game in zip
So you can download it manually
And you have the old launcher in it
Hey, im using JoiPlay for mobile, and wondering how to update?

just checking 2s
