moving will probably take another 5

[warm wolf]

[warm wolf]

they ment to eat homework not chargers

[proven heron]

[proven heron]

[warm wolf]

[primal jungle]

[warm wolf]

i got like 24 gb worth of pokemon files in my recycle bin 💀

[primal jungle]

delete them wth

[warm wolf]

i just did

5 mins left

for the sprites.zip

[tiny dove]

launcher is stuck on 'preparation' after pressing 'install' then it closes

[lusty lion]

Hello guys, after the update, I can't see the alternate launcher version of the game anymore.

[primal jungle]

#tech-support message

[warm wolf]

bruh

guess im not destined to play

😭

[blazing python]

you downloaded Sprites.zip AND Full Sprite September pack?

[primal jungle]

IT FINALLY WORKING

[warm wolf]

yep

[primal jungle]

oh so if i dont download that does it crash if i encounter something that uses one of those sprites? the september pack i mean

[blazing python]

if you using preloaded, yes you should use both

[primal jungle]

do i really need the full version? shouldnt sprites.zip include most of the sprites?

[stoic bobcat]

hey i downloaded the new launcher and when i open it i just see an intall button, it asks for an inatall path, installs then closes. when i reopen it the same thing happens

[primal jungle]

#tech-support message

launcher just doesnt work for a good amount of people

[blazing python]

why you linking them the android version?

[primal jungle]

because its the normal game

its the mobile/preloaded version

[turbid terrace]

Hey @primal jungle! 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.

[primal jungle]

yes hi i am aware

[blazing python]

yeah but the normal(prior) installer works fine #downloads message

[stoic bobcat]

then ill just keep using the old verion then

tanks anyway

[blazing python]

This image is in Sprites.zip btw that you said you did

So you might have not put it in the correct folder

[warm wolf]

i unzip it to this folder right

and then yes to replace?

[blazing python]

When you unzip, you get these:

when you open graphics you get these 2

I always just copy these 2 folders and paste them into my Graphics folder

[warm wolf]

ooohhh

i do what is writeen in the txt file

[primal jungle]

i pasted the graphics folder out of the zip

but it does the same thing

[tiny dove]

is this error message ignorable or fixable?

[blazing python]

multiple ppl gave you instructions, but the instructions I gave had this info and a video you could follow

[blazing python]

correct ignore species.zip error your game was updated just fine

[primal jungle]

im going to just play the game like normal and hope it just works now

ill probably end up still installing the full sprite pack but its working for now and i dont have the patience to deal with that again

weird viewing my team still causes lag

[tiny dove]

what does this error mean?

[primal jungle]

just a LOT less

[blazing python]

Fix for that here: #1173421145115066378 message

[primal jungle]

look at the fourth pin from the top and have fun dying inside

oh wait thats the

nvm

[blazing python]

that is not the same error

[primal jungle]

thats the other one

yeah

mb

[verbal orchid]

hi i have a problem, th launcher doesnt install the game, after a while it just closes

[blazing python]

Known issue right now. You can use the old installer while waiting for a fix for this. There are guides for this here:
#tech-support message

[blissful mason]

got this error when i goes into zones after installing 6.0

[dapper mason]

so i followed the instructions on how to import the sprites, but instead of detecting the thousands of sprites i imported, its only detected 600, and the ? marks are still appearing.

I just want to confirm im doing this right, download the pack, unzip it, then move the Custom battlers folder into the graphics folder of infinite fusion, letting it overwrite the existing Custom Battlers folder.

is that right?

[blazing python]

you imported BOTH sprites.zip and full sep sprite packs?

[dapper mason]

i imported the full sprite pack, not the one for septermber

[blazing python]

yeah my instructions had the exact ones you needed...

Here is instructions on how to properly install sprites:
#tech-support message

i list the 2 you need

[dapper mason]

ok ill try it again

[sterile pivot]

wht dat

[blazing python]

you missing sprites. if you didn't follow my instructions above your post it wont work

[tame latch]

how about this one?

[blazing python]

new bug, no fix maybe try and reinstall

[sudden smelt]

how do i add the 2 files to make preloaded work

[tame latch]

alright ill try that

[blazing python]

Here is instructions on how to properly install sprites:
#tech-support message

You also need this fix as well:
#1173421145115066378 message

[verbal orchid]

which is the correct one then?

[hexed bay]

So my game updated but it said it said system error couldn't find file species.zip. Am I still good to play the game? Don't want anything corrupted

[blazing python]

correct for what?

[blazing python]

That is fine. That is expected right now. game still works that file isn;t used anymore

[cyan osprey]

how do i fix the virus detection to download the game? my windows defender keeps flagging it as a trojan and deleting the file </3 im not tech savvy sorry if this isnt where to go

[hexed bay]

Cool Cool thank you

[blazing python]

you have to research that on your own. Too many anti virus to give instructions

[hexed bay]

If its windows defender (blue box) you should just be able to press more info, then download anyway

[sudden smelt]

what do i do with the costum base sprites?

[verbal orchid]

if i want to use the dynamic version

[blazing python]

if you want to use dynamic, it is the one just named Game

[blazing python]

the instructions tell you if you read it

there is also a video there

[sudden smelt]

it dosnt say base sprites tho

[blazing python]

Sprites.zip is the "base sprites"

[tame latch]

so far the reinstall is working

[blazing python]

Nice!

[warm wolf]

megaman it shows 29.3 file not found but its there

[sudden smelt]

this is all thats in sprits.zip

[blazing python]

you clicked the 2nd link of my instructions, but not the first...

[verbal orchid]

then i get an error for missing sprites, the one that works without errors is game_default

[devout heron]

after updating with the old updater, the alternate launcher has disappeared from the files, which i used because it gave me much faster load times- any ideas how to either improve load times or regain alt launcher?

[blazing python]

Click here:

[sudden smelt]

i have both. i dont know where to put them

[warm wolf]

agAIN

sorry for bothering you guys so muchh

[sudden smelt]

that dosnt say where base sprites go

[cyan osprey]

the void dimension

[blazing python]

Step 1...

#1173399226991001740 message

[warm wolf]

.

[blazing python]

or repull the game from installer fixes

[maiden hedge]

ah wrong channel, my apologies!

ill put it in the proper channel

[warm wolf]

lol

mega

[blazing python]

i was linking you the fix, it is fine if you talk here

[warm wolf]

i did what u said

[blazing python]

give me a second, only one person here...

[warm wolf]

okie

[sudden smelt]

thats not base sprites. just tell me what folder base sprites go in

[torn kiln]

Somehow my entire IF folder emptied itself. The funniest thing is that the trashbin is empty, the entire data seems to just have vanished.

[warm wolf]

just ping me when u ready

[blazing python]

Graphics/CustomBattlers/customBaseSprites

[sudden smelt]

ok

[blazing python]

can you show me the folder where you are opening the game from?

[warm wolf]

in this i went to the file that the error said not found

[blazing python]

So you open Game-preloaded from there to open the game too right?

[warm wolf]

yep

[blazing python]

Yeah then that looks like a bug. Your files look fine

that image it is pointing to does exist

shouldnt be throwing an error but it is

[blazing python]

did you open Game.exe (not preloaded) so that you import the sprites and select Replace?

from in game

[warm wolf]

yep

the game taking like 5 mins to take me to the map after selecting the save

[hexed lance]

ive been gettin this for a while after updating, is this just a bug?

[blazing python]

Yeah new bug. People have been fixing it by reinstalling unfortunately

[hexed lance]

gotcha, thank you

[warm wolf]

so megaman is ther anything i can do?

or il just have to wait till the bug gets a patch?

[blazing python]

You would have to submit this bug in #1142871804269052004 for it to be fixed. if not it will just get lost here

[upbeat pasture]

Microsoft antivirus kept removing the installer from github, is that normal?

[green ibex]

fyi every time that error pops up it downloads the file then crashes thats how I got the idea for the workaround for preloaded

[winged tide]

how does that do to update

[blazing python]

new installer is being flagged by many anti virus for not being from a "trusted provider", but the devs specifically developed and uploaded it

[upbeat pasture]

ah perfecto

[blazing python]

so just keep opening until it stop complaining? lol

[mortal ermine]

1. Version 6.0
3. Launching the game using the Game-Preloaded.exe (I assume the new name for the alt-launcher)
4. I attempted to download custom battlers from the downloads section (#downloads message) but that didn't fix it. I also redownloaded the game once already

[green ibex]

Yeah thats one way to get it to work XD

[blazing python]

have you installed the game prior with the installer?

[blazing python]

Fix for that is here: #1173421145115066378 message

[mortal ermine]

thank you

[blazing python]

if you want to use preloaded you have to download 2 huge sprite packs as well on top of that fix

[blazing python]

Full instructions:
Here is instructions on how to properly install sprites:
#tech-support message

You also need this fix as well for sprites not covered above:
#1173421145115066378 message

[winged tide]

yes

[blazing python]

Then just double click INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat and it will update

[winged tide]

obrigado

[cyan osprey]

is the in between areas loading time supposed to be long? or is my game just lagging

[midnight birch]

Trying to install from the launcher but it keeps on crashing, anyone know any reasons?

[upbeat pasture]

I'm having the same issue

[half fern]

how do i choose dynamic or preloaded i installed with the bat file not the launcher

[blazing python]

new installer is 50/50 if it works. You can use old installer to install 6.0

[blazing python]

.bat installs both

[blazing python]

this depends on your computer and internet. If you have performance issues, it is recommended to play preloaded version but that requires you to download ALOT of sprites

[half fern]

so there are 3 .exe files are those them?

[blazing python]

Game is Dynamic
Game-preloaded is preloaded
3rd one we don't know what it is. No info on it

[half fern]

oh gotcha and dynamic has all of the custom battlers right?

or do i still need to install them

[heady niche]

Im trying to download the V6 update by the new release method, but when I download Pokemon.Infinite.Fusion.Launcher.Setup.exe, my PC thinks its a virus. Should I ignore it?

[blazing python]

dynamic never did that. Dynamic installs the sprites as you see them

[half fern]

ohh

[blazing python]

new installer is being flagged by many anti virus for not being from a "trusted provider", but the devs specifically developed and uploaded it

[half fern]

so if i want custom battlers i needed preloaded then

[heady niche]

Ok

[blazing python]

Dynamic should honestly only be used if you have a good computer and internet speed. If you don't have a good computer/internet you will see a lot of lag and wait times

If you want to use preloaded you have to follow these instructions

[molten cave]

I was playing around with the debug helmet and my save button vanished, nothing will fix it, even new save files. Where can I get a fully new game? Or does somebody know how to fix it?

[blazing python]

can you show an example?

[blazing python]

do you want to erase your save and start over? is that what you are asking?

[molten cave]

I want to know where I can get the game fully new, I already tried to erase my saves. The whole game just lost the save button.

[blazing python]

if you want to reinstall fresh, use the new installer or zip files from #downloads

then erase your prior folder

[molten cave]

oh okay, thanks!

[blazing python]

Check 1st pinned message in this channel: #tech-support message

there are 2 android fixes

[molten kelp]

okay, swapped back to the joiplay instead of the launcher

if the install/update says can't find data\species.zip, that just means i'm on the dynamic version right?

or is that an actual issue

[half fern]

i only need that bug report one if its not the spetember pack and the base sprites right?

[blazing python]

That error doesn't relate to dynamic/preloaded. That error is ignorable though, devs already said species.zip is not used in 6.0 so that error is fine to ignore

[blazing python]

if you want to play preloaded, you need ALL 3 things

[eager atlas]

so the game got an update
and one of my fused pokemon's sprite got changed to smth i didnt want it to be

how do i fix this?

[sterile pivot]

Put this in Bug Reports already but hey ho

In the Wild Pokemon Randomization by Area, it seems as if every few minutes the random Pokemon re-shuffle, and subsequent reshuffles ignore the BST range on wild pokemon randomization. This is without re-shuffling at the random man in the Pokecenter, and can lead to some...odd situations, to say the least. I believe trainers still work fine as far as I can tell.

[heady niche]

I clicked install on the launcher, with the sprite packs option, and after 2 minutes it just disappears after being stuck on preparing. I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong or not

[blazing python]

You can use the pokdedex entry menu to change the sprite

[molten kelp]

common issue, installer broke atm

[heady niche]

with the sprite packs or without?

[molten kelp]

assuming both since i had your issue trying to play dynamically

[eager atlas]

REALLY?

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[blazing python]

both that checkbox doesn't work

[heady niche]

ok

[blazing python]

even if the installer completely works, no sprites are added to your files

[heady niche]

so I should wait for a patch that fixes it?

[blazing python]

?tag alt

[pearl magnet]

To change a Pokemon's sprite to an alternative one, go to their Pokedex entry (this can be done from their summary screen) and go to the "Sprites" tab. Here you can scroll through the different available sprites.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOY_mxJ-Bx8

[blazing python]

if you want. You can just use the old installer to update to 6.0

[molten kelp]

^

[heady niche]

ok

[eager atlas]

what

oh

nvm

[brisk garnet]

When installing/updating from the latest alternate installer it gets to a point where it says that the system cannot find the file specified Data\species.zip

Is this something that is gonna cause issues or that I need to worry about?

[blazing python]

You are good, this error is ignorable. Devs already noted this zip is not used in 6.0 and the game updated just fine

[midnight birch]

Tried with the old but still doesn't work. Tried multiple versions of the old ones

[blazing python]

can you show the error you are getting? I can troubleshoot it. This is the one you should use: #downloads message

[brisk garnet]

Good to know, thanks!

[dapper mason]

@blazing python ty so much for the help and im sorry you had to tell me the instructions 2 or 3 times before it sunk in. the game registered the sprites this time.

[blazing python]

Woo I am glad it works now! No worries 🙂

[frosty osprey]

every time ive attemped to open the game since updating it says this

[blazing python]

you are trying to play preloaded

Preload won't work unless you do all of these steps:

[terse nacelle]

i cant press anything, my keyboard works fine but in game its just glitching into diferent menus

[plush trail]

hey how do i update to 6.0

[dawn dove]

Hey all, I just downloaded this game for the first time and just started a new game. I'm not sure if this is a common bug or anything but all I can see in the game is a black screen with my character's sprite. I can move around bring up my menu, and interact with things, I think it's just a visual glitch. Any way I could fix this?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @dawn dove! 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

[blazing python]

have you installed the game prior with the installer?

[plush trail]

yes

[dawn dove]

This does not help me

[blazing python]

Double click install_or_update.bat and it will update

[blazing python]

do you have a controller or phone connected to your computer? ive seen that mess it up

[plush trail]

ok what now

[terse nacelle]

oh yeah ive got a contorller

[blazing python]

open your game lol that will update it and open Game.exe to play

[terse nacelle]

that fixed it. thank you

[blazing python]

you are on 6.0? and which file did you use to open the game?

[plush trail]

it still says version 5.3.1.2

[blazing python]

When double clicking install_or_update.bat take a screenshot and post here. You seem to have gotten an error there

[dawn dove]

I am on 6.0, and I am using the file "Game" with the Pokemon Infinite Fusion Icon.

I did make a shortcut for my desktop, would that make a difference?

[midnight birch]

Should I select the default installation directory (appdata\roaming\Infinite Fusion Launcer) or should I try to create a new one?

[blazing python]

Can you try 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.

[blazing python]

default is fine

[midnight birch]

Ok

Cant seem to get around the install issue, even with older versions

[blazing python]

well only the new installer references that path

the old installer doesn't ask for a path

This video shows how to use the old installer if you need:
https://youtu.be/UaaPraPFoJY?t=69

[dawn dove]

I just booted the game from the folder and it's doing the same thing, black screen with my just my character sprite.

[plush trail]

i got it to work

[blazing python]

but did you follow those steps to turn off and on sprite downloading?

[dawn dove]

I did, same thing is happening

[blazing python]

are you in a cave by any chance?

there is a png fix for caves

[dawn dove]

As far as I'm aware, I'm in my characters room in Pallet Town. This is a brand new save, first one ever.

[blazing python]

yeah im not sure, I would recommend reinstalling. Those sprites should download over the internet using Game.exe

[dawn dove]

I just made a brand new save, this time it started me in Prof Oak's lab. I see him, Blue, my character, and the three starter balls. Everything else is black.

[wary terrace]

sooo I made two different suggestions recently in game-suggestions, but it turned out one of them was already in game so I wanted to delete that suggestion but I accidentally deleted the wrong one. Is there a way to bring that back, or do I kind of redo the accidentally deleted one?

[tall marsh]

downloaded the newest version from github and windows flagged the launcher as a virus? Is it ok to run or?

[blazing python]

Unfortunately no, you have to resubmit

[wary terrace]

oops

[blazing python]

new installer is being flagged by many anti virus for not being from a "trusted provider", but the devs specifically developed and uploaded it

[dawn dove]

I should mention I downloaded the zip file in #downloads

[blazing python]

I honestly think you did everything correct btw. Something is just bugging out for you for some reason

[dawn dove]

I almost wonder if it's just not compatible with my OS, I'm running Windows 8.1

[blazing python]

Potentially, you could also use Game-preloaded. This is a better performing version of the game, but you need to download ALL sprites for this to work

[dawn dove]

So just download the Sprite pack and boot with "game preloaded"?

[blazing python]

Preload won't work unless you do all of these steps:

[green ibex]

@blazing python Had to remake my game so if I make folders for all the new mons before I add the sprites they should all auto sort right?

[wanton oxide]

any news on the deep sea dive bug?

[blazing python]

did you create a #1142871804269052004 for it. if just posted here probably lost somewhere

[wanton oxide]

mh it was also reported by other people, i'll check

[blazing python]

Sprites.zip has the first 420, you would just need to make the rest

[green ibex]

Yeah Just did I wont have to mainly index them again right they should auto sort when I launch preloaded right?

[blazing python]

yeah I normally open regular Game.exe since it is faster to boot up for it to import the sprites and index them. then close it and open alt launcher

[lunar sail]

Hey so I just woke up Snorlax and after the cutscene with the dude, my run cycle was just straight up disabled

I even tried switching it back and forth and I'm locked into walking

[brazen herald]

Anything on the new launcher yet?

[blazing python]

new version tomorrow to add more troubleshoot information but no fixes that I see

but you can use old launcher if you want to play

[brazen herald]

alright thank you

[clear edge]

I'm having issues with the key bindings. 8bitdo Ultimate runs on XInput and I want to change Z to something other than my R3

[blazing python]

Have you tried flying somewhere or go to the pokemon center and talking to the guy in a black suit on 2nd floor and select Fix option?

[flat eagle]

Sorry if already asked but what am I supposed to do after launching the Launcher?

[blazing python]

Controller remapping known issue for this game. It doesn't work. Remapping only works on keyboard

[blazing python]

The launcher has an install button you press to install the game

[icy compass]

I'm trying to do a fresh install via the launcher, but it just goes to Preparing and then crashes. Error log suggests missing files within the launcher itself.

[flat eagle]

should i path to the installer?

[blazing python]

Known issue, no eta on fix. You can use old installer

[blazing python]

you can leave the paths alone. it is your preference though but doesn't need to be changed

[flat eagle]

thank you ❤️

[blazing python]

yeah I have seen that too, but that is what the devs provided.. 🤷‍♂️

The installer is not working for me it just makes the windows error noise when I hit install

[glass pilot]

Can someone help me figure out where the save data is stored? :3

Real sorry for the next question but does anyone know if the new Pokemon will show up in my saved randomized run, or will I need to reshuffle for them to be added?

whenever there is a new update, randomizer has issues. you need to reshuffle

thank you a ton

Hi, I've been trying to encounter raicune and the tracker keeps telling me it's in route 31 but it only gives me random encounters, even though it should be the first encounter. I tried it on the Latias encounter and it worked just fine, is there anything I can do??

seems like a new bug that someone logged already: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1173744377160548442

[hybrid stump]

Nice, thank you very much : )

[blazing python]

I recommend posting in there you are experiencing this issue so it is known it isnt just happening to 1 person

[tropic sleet]

what it be

[blazing python]

did you change the path of where to install to?

[tropic sleet]

not even given the option

thats what first appears when i click on downloaded file

[blazing python]

Your computer doesn't like the default path then

[tropic sleet]

sweet

[rare coral]

every time I open the launcher it tells me there's an update available and asks to install it, nothing happens and it opens the launcher then when I click the play button the launcher flashes and nothing else happens no matter what I do

[blazing python]

I suggest putting your error in here: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1173369960307888258

[vernal geyser]

what is game preload and game default?

[blazing python]

DrapNard is the one that created the installer is in there

[blazing python]

game preload is running the game with sprites you downloaded on your machine not over the internet. Game default, no one knows

[vernal geyser]

machine meaning whatever I am using to play the game?

[blazing python]

literally the .pngs on your computer. You need to download aLL sprites for this to work

[vernal geyser]

got it thanks

[coarse moon]

anyone know how to fix the regirock/steel puzzle room? I've tried using update man, I've tried relaunching the game, but nothing seem to work

[blazing python]

I suggest you log it as a bug in #1142871804269052004 with any screenshots you can provide

[wind knoll]

why i can't download the game? just close itself in the Preparation

[turbid terrace]

Hey @wind knoll! 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!

[green ibex]

@blazing python gonna ask you a question do you fully get how the ultra necrozma fusions work or nah

[blazing python]

Known issue, no eta on fix. You can use the prior installer if you want 6.0

[wind knoll]

this one??

[blazing python]

Not sure but I saw yday someone said it didn;t work for them. But they also might be missing a step so not sure

[blazing python]

#downloads message

[green ibex]

they work prb were missing its trasnfrom item but im confused on the indexing cuz putting them into necrozmas 450 folder works but also making a 450_1 Folder also works for them trasnform

And they auto index if theres a 450_1 folder....

[atomic portal]

So I've been trying to use the launcher but it keeps crashing after I hit install. I do already have it installed and have played a little but I'm trying to avoid the transition load times

[wind knoll]

Now what do I do with this?

[blazing python]

Yup double click on INSTALL_OR_UPDATE

[blazing python]

New installer has a bug, no eta. Use prior installer if you want to update to 6.0

[wind knoll]

Shouldn't I have put that in the folder where I have 5.3.1.2?

[blazing python]

you can if you want. or you can just do from that folder and it puts all the files in there. if you have any sprites downloaded prob better to do it from your existing folder to not redo sprite work you did

[wind knoll]

too late

[vernal geyser]

does the little dna sprite mean that I don't have the sprite or it has not been made yet

[wind knoll]

:/

man, i have like a full gigabyte of sprites in the old version comeon

[blazing python]

not a problem, just copy those two item to your existing folder and you are good lol

[atomic portal]

is 1.6.1 good for the launcher? or did you mean 6.0?

[blazing python]

To clarify, if the launcher is not working for you, and you don't want to wait for a fix, then use the prior installer. Prior installer will get you to the game version 6.0 which is this current latest version

[blazing python]

Prior installer is this: #downloads message

not in github

[atomic portal]

in the infinite fusion zip?

[blazing python]

Yeah. Is this the first time you are installing the game?

[atomic portal]

no i installed it on my own but ive heard the launcher makes the load times better

[blazing python]

yeah unfortunately it is pretty much 50/50 that new launcher works at the moment

[true cedar]

What am I supposed to do about this on mac? i only started getting this message recently, my game used to run fine

[blazing python]

but yeah unzip that file and double click INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat to install the game

[atomic portal]

can i use an old launcher?

[blazing python]

Installer requires that to use the launcher, but that is a windows package. They need to fix that

[blazing python]

Yeah that is what I have been guiding you to use

[slate terrace]

You success to run with MacOS ?(just install net6)

[true cedar]

Is there a way to work around it or nah

[atomic portal]

oh i think i have that one but i updated lol

[blazing python]

im asking the dev here, if not then you have to use the old way to install the game on mac using wine/wineskin: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1173369960307888258

[blazing python]

that is an EXE, users have to install Wine to run it which a lot of ppl don't know how to install homebrew and wine on their Mac

[true cedar]

the tutorial to instaling it using wineskin is on the wiki right? i did it a while ago but forgot how to do it

[blazing python]

1st pinned message in this channel

[slate terrace]

Yes

[true cedar]

alright thanks guys

[slate terrace]

So just installed net 6 desktop runtime and all it’s done

[slate terrace]

Just one question what program do you use ?

[true cedar]

I installed it using wineskin before

[slate terrace]

Ok !

Good to know if the launcher run on Mac OS

[blazing python]

the tutorial is not using launcher and wineskin. I can do it on mac right now with just the installer

[atomic portal]

Yeah launcher just doesn't like me even the older version

Maybe it's because it's already installed idk

[slate terrace]

Ow yes it’s use Proton Tricks but it for Linux

[blazing python]

yeah so users need that information, most aren't technical lol

[mossy remnant]

I'm having an issue.
My game keeps crashing when trying to fuse. Says something about RGSS script. Any solutions?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @mossy remnant! 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

[slate terrace]

I will back later thanks @blazing python To help people

[blazing python]

Thanks for answering questions! I appreciate it

Cause most people will get here and not know how to open the launcher.exe

[slate terrace]

For more info you can read the source code I comment the code

[blazing python]

Yeah but the point is, how is someone new going to know to go to the source code to find instructions? Dev team needs to provide this information

I can write it up, but it is something that people are asking us to do to help them and we can't help without this info

[slate terrace]

Yes but now I got no time to document it take along time

[blazing python]

Yeah that is understandable. A lot of other issues to worry about. I can make a guide to help, but would be nice for documentation for new releases since soo many people scrambling for this new exciting version

[atomic portal]

Went back to version 1.6 from last week and it still crashed. Wish there was a way to make it recognize the game is already installed so I can get past that step

[slate terrace]

You can if you want, tomorrow I make an update to handle error with error box

[blazing python]

Yeah I will wait for new version of installer before making anything

[slate terrace]

In the 1.6 version of the launcher you can’t launch the game normally, game change a little so is impossible to run with (for 6.0 of the game)

[slate terrace]

I can test to but in vm so idk if it’s changed a little

[slate terrace]

Run the 1.6.2 to run the game

I go to bed so I can’t respond to your question for a time

[atomic portal]

It still crashes trying to install

[solid nexus]

odd question so I got the new launcher trying to now install the game but each time I do and leave it alone it eventually just closes itself

[blazing python]

This will hopefully be fixed sometime tomorrow, but in the meantime you can try the old way of installing the game

or wait tomorrow

[silver peak]

how can i donwload the 6.0 version?

[blazing python]

you can try new installer: #downloads message

if that doesn't work use old method: #downloads message

[silver peak]

i try but nothing happen

[blazing python]

then try old method

[silver peak]

I just downloaded it and extracted it but it shows version 5.3. and the program is downloaded with what it asks to install and nothing u.u

[blazing python]

If you double click INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat, can you take a screenshot of that window? Should show an error if it didn't update to 6.0

but this works for sure

[weak vigil]

I have problems updating my old Infinite Fusion save file (4.9) to the latest version; how do I fix it?

[blazing python]

It is not possible unfortunately. 4.x is on a very old version that the story and path of the game doesn't match current version so not compatible

[weak vigil]

Is it possible to update it to 5.x?

[blazing python]

no, game always updates to latest version

[weak vigil]

Oh, okay

[idle sable]

Looks like a few things remains broken on my end. Boxes are empty for fusions and fusion overworld sprites are gone. Anything to fix that?

[solid nexus]

I did try the old update file instead though that gave me an error eventuallyabout the game.exe file oddly enough? I tried doing y to have it try it again but it kept repeating the same error

[silent cliff]

hello I checked the drive but didn't see the answer, I just downloaded the new launcher to update to the last version of IF but when I try to open it an error message pop up : 'you must install or update .NET to run this app", I don't know how to fix it can someone explain me?

[spiral spruce]

did you go into the folder that it installed?

[silent cliff]

yes it created a new folder infinite fusion launcher that is different to the previous infinite fusion folder

[inland plover]

I got this error and this is on Alternative mode

I'm using the launcher

[silver peak]

i try again, but the program close wihout a messaje

[spiral spruce]

no it didnt.

[silent cliff]

I mean this

[idle sable]

Got that, got it fixed.

[inland plover]

how?

[spiral spruce]

open those folders dude

[idle sable]

#1173421145115066378 message

[silent cliff]

I did but when I run the app of the launcher it says this (and pressing yes doesn't dl anything)

[spiral spruce]

click yes

[silent cliff]

you read what I say xD

[blazing python]

It should open a browser to take you to a website to download it

it doesn't download anything by default

[idle sable]

@blazing python Would you happen to have something to fix that strange issue I have above?

It's not breaking the game but it is kind of annoying.

[blazing python]

Auto gen sprites are broken also. So would require more sprites to be preloaded but auto gens are supposed to be coming from Gitlab by default. That isn't working

[idle sable]

But I had silhouettes that weren't custom

since they were white

I feel like I should play on dynamic now that I have everything loaded...

[muted kindle]

How do u put custom sprites on mobile?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @muted kindle! 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!

Hey @muted kindle! 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.

[blazing python]

Yeah I mean only so much we can do without a dev fix. I personally have always used Dynamic with all the sprites preloaded anyways

[silent cliff]

nothing is opening and when I copy the https it brings me to windows website with a lot of things to download I tried some and put another error message

[idle sable]

Didn't realize how slow this was going to be. But I don't want to end up with more unnecessary sprites

[meager vault]

Is this a common error?

[spiral spruce]

yes it is common

[meager vault]

Do you know what i could do about it?

[spiral spruce]

i dont play mobile

[turbid terrace]

[silver peak]

i cant update the game u.u

[blazing python]

yeah just a combination of your pc and internet

[meager vault]

so no lazy gaming in bed for me i guess

[blazing python]

I asked for an error message when running install_or_update.bat

that command prompt doesnt close on its own

[silver peak]

i try again, but the program close wihout a messaje

[hushed topaz]

please help I have only installed the normal game without installing custom sprites and when entering combat and trying to enter the backpack it crashes

[spring saffron]

Get this message whenever I try to level up my Gooma.

[idle sable]

I mean I have a good PC but the game still take longer for everything. I just hope Dynamic goes a little faster without overloading with sprites... And to think I have like... 6 monthly pack to sort through? The game will take ages to launch at some point.

[spring saffron]

This predates it

[blazing python]

Dynamic doesn't have a long wait time, preloaded does though so might be something else affecting you

[silver peak]

i cant see what happen iI can't see more of the program because my screen is not that big.

[blazing python]

looks like a randomizer issue. Try resetting random encounters in pokemon center

[blazing python]

this isn't the installer I linked you

[solid nexus]

yeaaa getting this when I try updating from the .bat "ERROR: The system cannot find the file specified.
Data\species.zip."

[blazing python]

that is fine. Dev said that zip isn't used, it still updates game to 6.0 you are good

[solid nexus]

Ahhhh kk thank you!

[blazing python]

Use old installer: #downloads message

[idle sable]

It's probably because you need every autofusions in your game files now. It makes the game a lot slower. It's almost doubling what we had.

[wintry escarp]

Im trying to download the update through the launcher but the program is down and to the right getting cut of by the screen. Anybody know how to fix it?

[blazing python]

where did you get that info from?

[idle sable]

From just testing the game in 5.3.1.2 and 6.0.

I only played preloaded

[spiral spruce]

thats a new one.

[hushed topaz]

Now the error has changed to this I can no longer navigate through the backpack

[blazing python]

are you talking about the customBaseSprites images we had to download? Those aren't fusions

[idle sable]

Most are.

You have the actual base sprite but also all the auto fusion ones

[spring saffron]

😦 So sad. Ill just box it until it can be fixed. its my starter, so sad

[blazing python]

they are alt sprites of the base pokemon not fusions if you look. if you have fusions in there those are different sprites someone else added there. Autogens are the ugly ones that are literally head and body mixed

[unkempt harness]

Hello. I just downloaded the new Launcher. When I click on Install, it says "Preparing...", then I get a windows notification sound, but no actual messages or anything pop up, and then it closes on its own. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[idle sable]

No, no there was definitely all the autogen fusions in the battler folder

Which are required to use apparently otherwise the game would crash

[blazing python]

im talking about customBaseSprites folder

not any of the other ones

are you talking about sprites from Sprites.zip and Full september pack, then that was always standard to use prior to 6.0

[idle sable]

Oh this one is in uh... CustomBattler no

[red chasm]

idk if this is the right channel, but how do i update to the later versions of the game?

[spiral spruce]

it is not

[blazing python]

Have you updated using the installer (INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat) previously?

[cedar laurel]

I’m trying to play the game but it reads “Script ‘001_Pokemon.rb’ line 1148: NoMethodError occurred.
undefined method ‘[]’ for nil;NilClass” so what do I do?

[red chasm]

no, just played whatever version i downloaded at

[blazing python]

known bug no eta on fix atm

[cedar laurel]

?

[blazing python]

You can try new installer from #downloads the first link. Not working for everyone but give it a try

[blazing python]

there is a bug in #1142871804269052004 for this. People tried reinstalling to make it work, but hasn't always worked.

[cedar laurel]

Oh ok

[craggy arrow]

quick question, is the new launcher just for a fresh install of the game? it was stuck on "preparing" and then just auto closes when I try to use it, but using the "install or update" worked perfectly fine to get to 6.0

[blazing python]

you can use either new launcher or old method. Either gets you to 6.0

[idle sable]

Actually they are

[craggy arrow]

huh. guess it was just being weird for me then. Thanks!

[blazing python]

no not just you, it is a known issue. New launcher crashing for a lot of ppl

[spring saffron]

Tried leveling somewhere else with my Gooma and I always get this upon leveling up (I think its trying to evolve if that helps)

[weak vigil]

How do I do a fresh install of the game? I'm trying to use only the new launcher, and I get stuck on the "preparing" page before crashing.

[idle sable]

I don't remember needing every autogen fusions in my battler folder to make the game work

[blazing python]

That is a known bug, new installer coming out tomorrow so gotta wait if you want to only use new launcher

[silver peak]

I get this error

[blazing python]

people used both sprite.zip and full monthly sprite pack because each were missing sprites from each other. Yes there are additional files in there. It isn't the "minimum" set of sprites needed to make the game work so there are a lot of extras or all of them in there just cause that is the person that uploaded those packs did. But preloaded would give an error that a sprite was missing that was in one pack but not the other so we always suggested to just download both to fix

[blazing python]

if you want to use Game-preloaded you need to download all the sprites

Here is instructions on how to properly install sprites:
#tech-support message

[idle sable]

So... I should make a massive cleaning and remove any unnecessary file

Oh boy

[blazing python]

I never said that lol

[idle sable]

I mean, you don't need EVERY autogen fusion

[blazing python]

but there is no harm having them

other than space

[idle sable]

Well apparently for now there is

Not having the game run at a snail pace

[blazing python]

you having all the sprites would make your game run better not slow cause they are all on your machine

so what you are saying doesnt make sense

since it isnt reaching out to the internet to pull the autogen

[red chasm]

im sorry, im not good with tech and i literally have no clue what stuff from there needs to be downloaded

[idle sable]

Wouldn't it be the opposite because it need to search for more than it need?

[blazing python]

Here is a guide: https://youtu.be/UaaPraPFoJY?t=69

[silver peak]

I got the wrong icon because I changed the mini image

[blazing python]

the search has to be done regardless. It has to check if you have the image or not first. If not, then go to the internet and download. If you do have it, then move along. It is a shorter path if you have the file already

The search is direct, you don't iterate through ALL folders to find a file, you go directly to the path

[scenic jetty]

so the new update for today has left me only able to get to the launcher and whenever i hit the play button nothing happens

[blazing python]

Old method still works btw. if you have an error with it let me see a screenshot. New Launcher having problems for a lot of ppl

[blazing python]

you have to extract InfiniteFusion.zip

[jolly aurora]

i did it still says the same thing

lol

[spiral spruce]

you didnt go into th unzipped folder

[jolly aurora]

yall need to make updates easier lol

i did tho

[spiral spruce]

there should be 2

[jolly aurora]

this rite

its extracted

[spiral spruce]

click game

[jolly aurora]

still shows old version

lol

[blazing python]

you need to double click INSTALL_OR_UPDATE to update the game

[jolly aurora]

i did and it said it couldnt

[ivory flume]

where is this?

[spiral spruce]

in the folder for the game

[blazing python]

in your game folder

[ivory flume]

i dont see it

[blazing python]

you installed from fake site

[ivory flume]

oh god

[blazing python]

discord is only place to get the files, no official site

[ivory flume]

i swear i did it from here

[blazing python]

#downloads message

[ivory flume]

im too scared to use other sites other than this discord lol

[blazing python]

Do you have the game open when trying to do this? That is what it usually means

[ivory flume]

thank u tho lol

[feral ledge]

Will the new launcher be fixed in the future?

[blazing python]

Video guide if you need: https://youtu.be/UaaPraPFoJY?t=69

[blazing python]

supposed to be an updated one tomorrow

[ivory flume]

nah i know but still thank you :))

[feral ledge]

Ok 😄

[hearty zephyr]

anybody have a probleme with mt.moons and rock tunnel? the map is black ((not a HM Flash problem), it doesnt seem to load the visual but it does load the npc

[silent lion]

Can anyone help me with this?

[blazing python]

Fix here: #1173399226991001740 message

[idle sable]

I've tried the 5.3 and the 6.0 and the 6.0 is definitely a bit slower. And since it's a bit broken right now, should we stay on 5.3 for the time being?

[blazing python]

what version of the game are you on?

But you can find the shadow file here: #tech-support message

I'm on 5.3.1.2

[blazing python]

yeah that should have downloaded with that version, but I linked where to get the file to fix

[silent lion]

Thank you!

[blazing python]

I honestly am not thinking of playing 6.0 for a couple days or until I see more fixes

but up to you lol

[hearty zephyr]

THX!

[calm geode]

Is there a patch for backgrounds not loading correctly? Someone said there was 🙂

[blazing python]

He was talking for android, if you need that it is in the 1st pinned message in the channel

[little verge]

So, I've been trying to get 6.0 to work all day. Tried all the different launchers. Just tried preloaded. Added the sprites.zip pack, all the sprites through Nov, and custombasesprites.rar. Still getting this error.

[idle sable]

Looks like a good idea. I'm not even sure it's worth since the new pokemons doesn't have fusions yet (I think?)

[echo spire]

Hi! I’m quite new to the game, and have very 5.3.1.2 installed on my phone currently. Is there a guide on updating the software to 6.0?

[calm geode]

Thanks 👌🏻

[blazing python]

that is from customBaseSprites in the 6.0 info I have in the link below

Here is instructions on how to properly install sprites:
#tech-support message

[blazing python]

No guide, but however you got 5.3.1.2 on your phone, follow the same thing except with the 6.0 files from downloads: #downloads message

[echo spire]

Alright, I’ll give that a shot first. Thanks!

[little verge]

@blazing python Is that the rar file? If so I've already put in the custombasesprites and was getting that error. Twas why I was confused

[blazing python]

yeah correct that should solve that issue specifically

[prime iron]

hey when i tried to download the game it said cannoth load missing stuff i wen to do it but it didnt work and deleted the files again

[blazing python]

if you open the game again does it reference that same file?

[blazing python]

how are you downloading the game?

[prime iron]

through the links for the fire something and mega

i rlly tried 23 times to be exact

but when i did it on my laptop it worked?

[blazing python]

can I see the files you have now with a screenshot?

[prime iron]

i deleted them im srry

this was like a few weeks ago

[blazing python]

https://youtu.be/UaaPraPFoJY?t=69

[prime iron]

i was doing like a cleanse of the stuff

[north rover]

So on a fresh install from launcher, why would my friend still see " ? " sprites?

[blazing python]

you can follow the video I posted, it works

[prime iron]

ty bye

[blazing python]

Fix:
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.

[little verge]

@blazing python Yeah just a different number after custombasesprites///

[blazing python]

yeah cause I see that png in the files in the zip. Person helping me on that said opening/closing populated those images and it eventually worked, but this should have covered them all

[blissful moss]

Whenever I tried updating I got this message and ngl idk what to do about it

[blazing python]

This is expected and you can ignore the error. You are good. Dev said this species.zip file isn't used in 6.0 anymore

[tawny canopy]

wondering if i can get some help since ive been trouble shooting for a couple hours and im finally stumped. the main problem is im trying to run 2 pokemon infinite fusions side by side while also having 2 controllers connected. the problems we have ran into was one controller worked fine but when it came to using the other controller it just doesnt do anything, take one controller out and it works fine. Anyone got any ideas please let me know.

[flat patio]

anytime i catch a non-fused pokemon and it gives me the prompt of what sprite i'd like to use, if i pick anything but the initial option it gives me, the game suffers really bad lag anytime it needs to load that sprite (sending it out, going into the pokedex, a wild, looking at my party). when i go into the pokedex and change the sprite to the default one without an artist atributed to them, the problem is fixed for that pokemon. any way to use the other sprites without my game struggling?

[blazing python]

Dont have a solution, but not sure how that would work. Game controllers always work on whichever app has focus, so trying to split focus seems unreasonable on 1 computer without tinkering it yourself

[blissful moss]

The thing is I ignored it and then suddenly this pops up when I tried loading the game

[blazing python]

yeah that is unrelated, that is an error we've seen with people's internet not downloading a file. last person said they were running a hotspot which seemed to be the issue

[red chasm]

thats probably why i wasnt able to update either. i didnt this was the only place to get it 💀

[blissful moss]

I’m just connected to my normal internet, and the new launcher still does the preparation then crash thing

[sudden vine]

okay holy shit this is new

[little verge]

Is there anyway to revert to the previous version if I can't get this working? I had it working this morning before I updated. @blazing python

[blazing python]

yeah it is saying permission denied on downloading so something on your end preventing the file from coming through

[blissful moss]

Would it be my Norton? Cause it’s saying threats blocked whenever I try loading the game

[blazing python]

You can just run the game from your old folder. Unless you updated it. No going back when updating your files

[blazing python]

Yeah that sounds like the root cause right there

[blissful moss]

I’m not very tech savvy so I don’t know these things very well, how do I get Norton to stop being a Karen?

[sudden vine]

okay stupid question but preload is the alternate launcher right? the one that isn't dynamic?

[little verge]

Ah I'm screwed then. XD Guess I'll keep working on it.

[blazing python]

Basically it is trying to pull this from the internet and just depends on your PC/internet. If you want it to go faster, you need to download ALL the sprites yourself locally. I have instructions if you need for that.

[blazing python]

I don't have norton so I am not sure. You'd have to google that one, but others been noting Norton has been the worst

[blazing python]

correct Alt Launcher was renamed to Game-preloaded

[sudden vine]

okay so

i'm gonna launch the game through here, and not the fancy new whole window

[blissful moss]

Welp I hope there’s specific apps or folders that I can like turn Norton off for, that way it still does it’s job but just doesn’t worry about IF

[blazing python]

if you press play from the Launcher, it is like double clicking Game/Game-default from that folder

[flat patio]

iis there a way to get it to not use the internet sprites when its the first time ivee seen the pokemon? i just tried turning off that setting in the options menu and then immediately ran into a wild pokemon that wasnt using the default sprite. do i need to restart the game for it to properly take effect?

[sudden vine]

yeah but i maaaaayyy not have made the quick access to the launcher and i don't know how to get back to it

[blazing python]

Anti viruses usually have an exception list somewhere to allow apps/folders just not sure where it is on norton

[sudden vine]

so i was thinking of just making a quick access from the preload

[blissful moss]

Alright sweet, cause the thing is when I ran IF as administrator I didn’t get the notif for threats detected but it still did the missing file thing

[blazing python]

When you see a pokemon for the first time, it auto downloads the sprite for the pokemon. so turning it off will turn it off for any new ones you havent encountered

[blazing python]

you can right click and select create a shortcut

or add to taskbar

whatever shortcut preference you want

[sudden vine]

yeah but i don't know which file loads the launcher and not the game directly

[blazing python]

the folder prior to that

[blissful moss]

Also is the new launcher still having that issue where ya click install then it crashes after like 3 minutes?

Or is it fixed?

[green citrus]

I cannot launch the pre-loaded version

[tawdry ridge]

Do I have to download the new version, or can I use the updater from the dynamic version?

[flat patio]

that was the case for the wild pokemon i had just encountered. i had turned off the setting, and then my next encounter was a pokemon i had yet to see in this playthrough, but it sstill used a downloaded sprite

[blazing python]

yeah it is broken. tomorrow there is a new version of the installer

[sudden vine]

ah there it be, thank you

[blazing python]

you need to download ALLL the sprites to make it work

Here is instructions on how to properly install sprites:
#tech-support message

[blissful moss]

Well hopefully this new installer makes it easier for me to just install the game and not have to deal with Norton and it’s bs

[blazing python]

yeah that shouldn't have been the case, but 6.0 has a lot of bugs. Could be broken. You can create a #1142871804269052004 to get it looked at

[blissful moss]

I’m not getting my hopes up though

[sharp vine]

Keep getting this error on startup. Anyone have a solution?

[blazing python]

At the bottom there is a note for 6.0 to download customBaseSprites:
#tech-support message

[sharp vine]

Oh shit thank you man

[blazing python]

that is fair, I am with you on that lol

[green citrus]

how do i know if i have installed all the sprites for the preloaded version?

[blissful moss]

Lol, ever since I updated it yesterday not only did nothing work but in the process of trying to fix things, apparently my save file got corrupted so that’s like 2 boxes worth of Radar chained shinies gone

[blazing python]

if you don't get an error trying to select your file save to be honest lol

Also you should have 420 or more folders here:
\Graphics\CustomBattlers\indexed\

[blazing python]

yeah I've learned not to update first day with this game

[tranquil saffron]

So does anyone know how to actually download the game from here, when I click install and then OK it plays a windows error sound and then shows this loading thing before closing a few minutes later

[turbid terrace]

Hey @tranquil saffron! 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!

[blazing python]

or move save file out, or keep a copy of old version

[blissful moss]

This is how I found out the hard way, man I had literal shiny GOD and now he’s gone ;3;

[sudden vine]

ah okay so then it's
sprites.zip, into custom battlers, THEN the full sprite pack and then the base sprites.rar

[blazing python]

that is a bug, fix might be coming tomorrow

[blazing python]

yes correct

[sudden vine]

aight, let us pray

[blazing python]

how do you know your save got corrupt? Shouldn't have broken your save to be honest

[blissful moss]

Megaman I wanna add you cause my dumbass needs someone with a brain who’s good with tech shit 😭

[blissful moss]

I ended up breaking it when trying to fix it sadly

[blazing python]

honestly I have videos on my youtube that makes this super easy (I provide all the files myself so you don't do anything), but I try not to post here

dont think they let me give full files here

[blissful moss]

Well if you don’t mind sending me some tutorial vids then I’d appreciate it lmao

[blazing python]

https://youtu.be/hOMllHDMb5A

[flat patio]

does disabling the "download sprites" option prevent certain fusions from having sprites? ran into the giant white ball of no-sprite-found

[blazing python]

yeah it literally stops it from being downloaded

i would only turn it off if I have all the sprites downloaded locally on my machine

at that point, just use the preloaded version also

[flat patio]

hmmm, yeah, i might wind up going that route. thankyou for all your help!

[blazing python]

The video above I linked has it all packaged in 1 file if you want to try it

[blissful moss]

Thanks, also the thing that’s weird for me is when I reinstalled the game fresh through the old installer, there were still files missing so I couldn’t go into the settings in the game even if I wanted to

[fathom condor]

I just did the change the Cave into cave and this happens

[blissful moss]

I can’t wait to have to deal with this issue once I figure out how to get my game to load and work properly

[blazing python]

Supposedly if you redownload the game, it will fix

[ivory flume]

im trying to extract the game and it keeps saying acess denied

[fathom condor]

dawg how bout my progress ?

[blazing python]

your save file is stored in another folder, not where your game is so it is safe

[blissful moss]

Are you like a game developer? Or someone who’s like super smart and trusted? I ask cause I got trust issues LMAO but you have been helpful so far)

[blazing python]

Not for this game no, but yeah understandable. Totally up to you

[blazing python]

Can you show a screenshot?

[sudden vine]

wish me luck lads

[blazing python]

just make sure to put them in the right folder 🍀

[sudden vine]

yeah that's the thing

i am a fucking idiot

[blazing python]

lmaoo

[ivory flume]

more things have come up saying access denied

[blazing python]

put the zip in your desktop not C:

[ivory flume]

ill try it rq

[green citrus]

does the most recent sprite pack contain all up to date non base sprites?

[blissful moss]

Lol ye, but wait you have a singular file that fixes the entire game? And you AINT A DEV? Bro ask them if they hiring lmao

[blazing python]

I had a video in my instructions if you didnt see

if you wanted an example

[sudden vine]

nah dw i think i got this

[ivory flume]

its worked, you are a legend

[sudden vine]

tho if i fuck up i will use it

[blazing python]

no fixes the stuff we figured out in this discord. We found fixes for the cave issue and the preloaded sprites not opening

[blazing python]

https://tenor.com/view/you-can-gif-27326947

[ivory flume]

the update thing hasnt come up :[[

[blissful moss]

I’m confused, I kid you not please talk to me like I’m a child

Then I’ll understand

[blazing python]

what update thing? Like that launcher thing you've seen?

that zip should have 1 folder and 1 .bat named INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat

[ivory flume]

thats it update and install

i extracted it into desktop and its not there, the game is tho???

[blazing python]

yeah just these two

or what files were you extracting?

[blazing python]

if you on computer you dont use that one

[ivory flume]

im like a child

omfg lmao

[blazing python]

do the same but with this one: #downloads message

[ivory flume]

omg i just realised what i did

im so sorry for wasting your time😭

[blazing python]

If you need a video I got one too for how to do this but I think you good now

[ivory flume]

im just an idiot, ill sort it now lol

[tender sage]

I just want to confirm, my friend and I both have big lag when trying to move non-custom mons inside the box, is that an everyone issue?

[blissful moss]

Wait so for the whole Norton thing, would I have it be excluding the folder that contains the old installer? Or the installer itself?

[blazing python]

yeah just depends on your computer/internet. If you have performance issues use alt launcher/game-preloaded but you need to still all sprites for this to work. I have instructions for this if you need

[green citrus]

does the most recent sprite pack contain all up to date non base sprites? or would i need to istall the august pack and other previous ones as well?

[blazing python]

just the one you planning on using

[blazing python]

Here is instructions on how to properly install sprites:
#tech-support message

[tender sage]

Is it an RTX 4000 thing? That's the one hardware similarity between us.

[blissful moss]

So just excluding the folder excludes everything else in it?

[blazing python]

No just some ppl running it on old laptops or have slow internet/using hotspot. Just depends

[tender sage]

Neither of those things are the problem

[blazing python]

in general using Game.exe is slow though

[tender sage]

And this issue persisted between the previous version, where I had everything pre-downloaded, and the new launcher version

[blazing python]

if you use Alt Launcher/Game-Preloaded you shouldn;t have those issues since it is getting all the sprites from your local drives isntead of over the internet

that is really the bottleneck there. going over the internet and downloading the file then indexing it on your computer then getting al the alt sprites. So better to have everything downloaded locally to avoid all that

[tender sage]

Well, considering this happened on the previous version, when I had everything pre-downloaded...

[blazing python]

Yeah not sure. I play on PC and Steam Deck fine doing it that way

[sharp vine]

Game is freezing every few moments for like 30 seconds, any fix for that?

[tender sage]

And the alt launcher is now causing a crash

[blazing python]

you should be missing the full packs, since most ppl just installing 1 and not the other

[blazing python]

yeah not sure if you saw the link I posted to install sprites, it fixes this 6.0 issue

Here is instructions on how to properly install sprites:
#tech-support message

[tender sage]

I have not

[sudden vine]

oh yeah i always pass the other folder as well as custom battlers is that a bad idea?

[blazing python]

Other folder isn't needed

does no harm

[sudden vine]

but it does add flavor

[rough condor]

So attempting to install it onto my steam deck, do I still go through it this way? And then update it after to get the 6.0 update or is the 6.0 not live for the steam deck/Linux yet?

[vast elbow]

👉🏻 👈🏻

[blazing python]

1st pinned message in this channel has an FAQ with guides. Lists a steam deck version for 6.0 on the first page

[rough condor]

Thank you

[blazing python]

Looks similar to this bug, no eta on fix. I think some ppl said uninstalling worked for them or reshuffling wild Pokemon encounters: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1173633152284110927

[minor oak]

whenever i try to install the game from the launcher, it loads for a bit then crashes. kept trying and no luck

[blazing python]

known bug, new installer coming out tomorrow. you can use old way of downloading if you want 6.0 today

[minor oak]

okok so just wait for ping tmr about new installer

[little verge]

@blazing python Your all in one download worked

[blazing python]

Yup 🙂 I have it working on all my devices haha

[sudden vine]

huh, where the fuck did the launcher go

i only have the shortcut

What

[blazing python]

you either moved it somewhere or deleted it somehow

[sudden vine]

as i said

i am a fucking idiot

[blazing python]

worst comes to worst, you can just open the game using shortcuts of Game-preloaded from the other file

[sudden vine]

ye that's what i'm doing

but man is that fucking funny

[blazing python]

just to set expectations the fix for the installer is just "update to handle error with error box". If your issue doesn't fall into this, it won't get fixed just yet.

[sudden vine]

man i'm gonna go insane

[blazing python]

that is the customBaseSprites folder you had to move

[sudden vine]

okay the 133c existst

but

the same name folder went into the folder?

instead of replacing?

what the fu

[blazing python]

Wait from my instructions did you open up game.EXE yet

[sudden vine]

yeah

[blazing python]

And select the option to import sprites and replace

[sudden vine]

oh that didn't show up

i thought it was weird

[pastel wharf]

JoiPlay update attemt: moving 'Save Data' script from folder in old version to new.....

[blazing python]

I’m looking at your screenshot and you messed up

[pastel wharf]

Anyone know if this whould work?

[blazing python]

You have customBaseSprites inside another one of the same

[sudden vine]

yeah i don't even know how that happened

i guess i can just grab the sprites and take them out of the folder?

[blazing python]

The zip file zips it into another folder with that same name so you had to go in another level in the folder

But yes

[sudden vine]

aight les see

[blissful moss]

Megaman got a mega file apparently and now I’m very curious 😭

[true cedar]

I tried to get it on a virtual machine instead of my mac and keep getting this message

[blazing python]

My stuff saves you the headache of all this because I do it for you already

[delicate osprey]

Hey i still can't reinstall my game, the launcher is stuck in preperation

[blazing python]

That means you have no audio device on your computer. Plug-in headphones.

[blissful moss]

So if I downloaded your file then I’d have the game and be able to play and everything again? Or am I dumb?

[blazing python]

This is a known bug and no ETA on a fix. You can use the old way to install the game to get the new version.

[tender sage]

Welp, I followed your video instructions and the extra part about the version 6.0. Downloaded all the different packs, used the alt launcher, and it's still giving me the issue. Just to make sure, you do know what I mean by it lagging when I'm moving NON custom mons right? The custom ones work just fine.

[sudden vine]

okay hopefully now we good

[blazing python]

Yeah, literally just unzip and open up the game lol

[blazing python]

Looks better now

[blissful moss]

And it’s 6.0? With the new stuff?

[lost girder]

can u pls help me when i press install on the new launcher, it just crashes after a minute or 2

after saying "preparing"

[golden meadow]

Just downloaded the mobile version it launches plays the intro then does this

[turbid terrace]

Hey @golden meadow! 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.

[sterile pivot]

same

[lost girder]

D:

[blazing python]

Yup

[blazing python]

This is a known bug use the old installer if you want to play 6.0

[blissful moss]

Do you uhhh mind sending it to me in dms?

[lost girder]

huh ok

[sudden vine]

@blazing python

[blazing python]

Can you double check your custom base sprites folder when you open that folder are all your images there or is there another custom base sprites folder there?

[blazing python]

I knew you got it in you!

[sudden vine]

I couldn't have done it without you dawg

my chains of troubleshooting have been broken

[blazing python]

Sorry everyone I gotta go for the night. Hopefully you guys get some fixes. Been here for hours now.

[blissful moss]

Wait I need that mega file my brotha

[tender sage]

Noticed you've been absolutely dumped on. Need more people in here.

[blazing python]

Did you do the step of opening game.exe, and choosing to replace all sprites#

[tender sage]

I followed every step, as I said

[blazing python]

Yeah it is for what I’m talking about

[tender sage]

yeah sorry I forogt there is still that, just not the alt-launcher exe

[blazing python]

Colo just followed the steps and got it working with same issue

[blissful moss]

My head hurts just from all this thinking lmao

[blazing python]

I will DM you in like five minutes, but I gotta go

[blissful moss]

Gotchu

[tender sage]

I'll do it over again just to make sure

[blazing python]

Make sure path is Graphics/CustomBattlers/customBaseSprites

No dupe folders

[tender sage]

👍

[blazing python]

Sorry edited path

[tacit carbon]

how do i update preloaded sprite veirssion of infinite fusion

[shrewd zodiac]

I id the manual download for version 6, but I don't know how to actually launch the game, because it didn't make a shortcut, and I don't know where the download location is

[plain lark]

Yeah I see others mentioning it, about the stuck at Preparation when installing and no matter how many times i try the launcher just closes without installing.

[delicate osprey]

hey I just reinstalled my game, but the spritepack dosent come with the indexing code thing... where can I get that

I believe its required for all the custom sprites to be indexed

[glass pilot]

Not sure if this’ll work for you, but sometimes when my sprites don’t auto index and just appear in the graphics folder.
When I start the game and I get the prompt that says “We’ve detected X number of sprites ….would you like to update them?” After clicking “yes” the files will sort themselves in the proper index folder.

[delicate osprey]

Ohh I see

oh yeah it does work, thanks

[tender sage]

I followed this exact step by step again. Double checked and made sure I used the "Game.exe", replaced all the sprites again. yes they are in the correct folders. Still lagging.

I asked before, but never got a confirmation. Are you sure this is a fix for my specific issue? Lagging while moving non-custom sprites in the box. Custom sprites are just fine. This was not an issue until the update they did so they could add more mons in the game.

(I know you're completely flooded here, it's a lot to go through. I used to do tech support for a decently large streamers discord)

[nocturne fox]

I have this error

[full geode]

i got this error in the safari zone a couple of times right before the game crashed. is there anything i can do to avoid it?

sorry i just saw one of the previous messages about the same error. i'll try the recommended fix

[wise cloud]

Erm
I have no idea what this means

[ebon flicker]

closed my game during the ||triple bird|| battle and now it won't launch at all. tried updating and got this:

checked th efaq and didn't see anything like this, should I just try a reinstall?

[blazing python]

This is fine to ignore your game is updated

Devs said species.zip isn’t used in 6.0 and this is just left over text

[blazing python]

Don’t click on the game while it is loading

[wise cloud]

Thank you thank you

[blazing python]

#1173633152284110927 message

[ebon flicker]

thanks. know anything about the game not launching at all?

[blazing python]

I need more info or screenshots

[quick jasper]

Did anyone find out if the launcher works on stamdeck to update?

[hexed ingot]

Any suggestions on having no sound? Followed the video and got my save and everything going, but I have zero sound at all.

[hexed ingot]

As far as I'm aware no

[blazing python]

It doesn’t. Better to look at 1st pinned message guide for updated version

I updated my guide to 6.0 on steam deck but not with launcher

[quick jasper]

Rip. Got it to the install screen but it crashes when downloading and is unable to find folder

[blazing python]

Yup that is universal issue not steam deck issue

[lunar basin]

||giovanni|| keeps murdering me at ||mt. ember|| and by that i mean my entire game keeps crashing every time the battle is about to start lol is there a known way to fix this?

and its a randomiser playthrough if thats anythin ^^;;

[blazing python]

You the first one today with that issue, not sure about that other than reinstalling

[hexed ingot]

Good enough of an answer for me

Thanks for answering and having such a good video btw

[blazing python]

Yeah a lot of 6.0 issues and thank you!

[blazing python]

Randomized always iffy on updates. I see ppl were rerandomizing their options from the black suit guy on Pokemon center

[lunar basin]

i tried that but alas no dice 😔 ✊

[blazing python]

https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1173769793178976286

This your bug?

[lunar basin]

sure is!

[blazing python]

This usually fixes sprite issues but with 6.0 it could be a bug also but it is usually a fix for it

[tender sage]

As I said, this issue srated with the 5.3 mon update to allow more mons

[blazing python]

It looks like a push for triple fusion fight crash in randomized mode is fixed. Wish they would announce their fixes

[safe pine]

Any idea of what's going on if the launcher freezes and crashes when at the "Preparing" task bar?

[lunar basin]

wait do i gotta do anything to fix it or is it just done? im like an old man with these things

[blazing python]

No eta on fix at the moment

[lunar basin]

oh it said 'solved' on the bug page so i thought it was done lol

[chilly kayak]

It's fixed

[lunar basin]

wait huh

[blazing python]

Well there you go!

He is the dev

[lunar basin]

OH

good to know!

[blazing python]

You need to update your game

[lunar basin]

ty for the quick responses lol

gotcha gotcha

ty for the help c:

[frosty osprey]

uh occasionally this happens to my game and some of the sprites for example items in the overworld get all buggy with lines and stuff

[tender sage]

Well, idk man. Since my other friend is experiencing this issue too, fresh install and all downloaded files, I don't really see how your files are going to fix it when we run on entirely different OS's and systems.

We both are on RTX 4000 pc's, that's the only similarity between my friend and I, so maybe a bug with that new gen after the udpate? idk

[blazing python]

That is usually a graphics card issue, the green lines. Update your driver

[blazing python]

Yeah if you want to log your specific issue with more details in #1142871804269052004 that would be better to not get lost here

[pale grail]

has anyone seen if the new linux launcher works on steamos?

[blazing python]

It is 50/50. Most ppl run into an issue of it crashing but universal issue not just on steam deck. 6.0 works on steam deck without launcher though if you look at 1st pinned message in this channel

[pale grail]

gotcha. ty

[exotic ermine]

Using the new infinite fusion launcher, worked fine last night but now it won't even boot up when I press play. Launcher disappears for like .01s and then comes back. Nothing comes up on console input and nothin seems to happen when I repair the game, anyone know what might be happening here?

[crimson gulch]

Can someone please walk me through on how to update my game to v 6? Currently on v 5.3 btw

[tired sinew]

i tried to open the game and closed it because the download was taking along time and now i cant open the game is there anyway i can fix it

[turbid terrace]

Hey @tired sinew! 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:

1. Make sure that you have extracted the files from the ZIP, and aren't running the game straight from the zipped folder.
2. 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.
3. Rename the folder with the extracted files to a name without numbers or special characters, e.g. "PokemonInfiniteFusion".
4. Move the entire folder somewhere else on your computer. Moving it to the desktop seems to work for most people.
5. 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.

[blazing python]

Have you used the install_or_update bat file before?

[blazing python]

I don’t understand your issue. You said you opened the game but downloaded something? You can’t download in game so not sure what you mean

[little verge]

Fused pokemon are invisible in party view and in pokebox. When you check summary you can see them.

[blazing python]

Something that may fix that is going to options and changing fused icons to DNA and switching back.

Might not work though but something you can try

[little verge]

Nah its still busted. Ill just use the dna. Better to have something representing them in the box

Thanks though

[crimson gulch]

Just ran it and the game is still in 5.3

[blazing python]

Can you show a screenshot of it

Prob some error there

[crimson gulch]

The game or the file?

[blazing python]

When you double click install_or_update

[warm yacht]

Heyo I dowloaded the launcher and from it I press install, but the window closes and nothing happens. What do i do?

[blazing python]

Known bug. No eta on fix, you can use old method to update the game

[warm yacht]

Crap alright

thank you

Oh wait nvm. Just checked my folders and opened the new exe. I got it. The sprites should be there too right? Or downloaded online as I play?

Sprites never get downloaded with the installer. If you play Game.exe they download as you encounter. Most pcs this runs slow. If you use Game-preloaded you need to download the sprites yourself but better performance

Hey if I have the mobile version how do I update it?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @tender hedge! 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.

It was an update and it was taking awhile so I closed it
