[storm latch]

before i updated the save was fine i went back on it to check

and closed the game updated now im with that error

so ill try to find the save

but any idea of what it might be called?

[blazing python]

the save location for the game cannot be changed, so it is that file and folder. If you wanted to look it would be named "File A.rxdata"

[verbal timber]

if you are at the Elite Four then finish off that save, then your next one we can update the game and you can start fresh

si vous êtes à l’Elite Four, terminez cette sauvegarde, puis votre prochaine, nous pourrons mettre à jour le jeu et vous pourrez recommencer à zéro

[storm latch]

so i should just delete the things in that file and it should work ?

[verbal timber]

once you have your hall of fame victory, we can work on getting you updated

Une fois que vous avez remporté votre victoire au Temple de la renommée, nous pouvons travailler à vous mettre à jour

[blazing python]

yeah it would work, but your save file wouldn't

[storm latch]

eh its whatever

[fringe barn]

I could keep my save after Elite Four ?

[storm latch]

yeah that did not do anything

...

should i delete the folder or whats inside of it

[verbal timber]

sadly no, it would be lost to time; unless you want to keep the old version folder/files [but I am worried making new saves would over write the old ones]

Malheureusement non, ce serait perdu pour le temps ; à moins que vous ne vouliez conserver le dossier/fichiers de l’ancienne version [mais je crains que faire de nouvelles sauvegardes écrase les anciennes]

[blazing python]

as I mentioned you'd need to reinstall also

updating the game from old version to newest isn't the smoothest. It is best to install fresh

[storm latch]

got you

so what should i download

[fringe barn]

Well, I got nothing to lose. I'll come back to you after Elite four ! Also, thanks for answering so fast !

[storm latch]

which one is the latest update

[verbal timber]

i know that mega, but you can have 2 folders...i am more worried that the new save might yeet over the old save, since i think the files are labeled/named the same way

[blazing python]

you could restore your save file from recycle bin also if reinstall fixes it as well

[storm latch]

planning on that if it fixes

[blazing python]

yeah i never said to delete the old folder

[verbal timber]

no problem, feel free to poke me once you are done

Pas de problème, n’hésitez pas à me piquer une fois que vous avez terminé

[blazing python]

Use this zip file to install the game -> #downloads message

[storm latch]

i have these 3 that i downloaded

so should i just run the zip or the app then zip then sprite

[blazing python]

right click the 1st one and extract

once you do you will have this

double click INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat. If you need more instructions they are here -> #tech-support message

[verbal timber]

extract it first though

[blazing python]

yup I mentioned that above too. I'm really hoping the launcher gets fixed 😅

[storm latch]

so if i download the october sprites will that make it smother for the game or nah

[blazing python]

Yes, but if you want to download sprites, it is better to use the Sprite Pack from this channel or use our Sprite Import tool

[storm latch]

and one thing about those that wasnt really specified is what to do with the "other" file inside it

[blazing python]

That folder isn't used

it is more for the Sprite team since the game doesn't use the "Other" folder

[storm latch]

i see

i thought i needed to put that somewhere

maybe thats why the game wasnt running well

eh its fine though a clean new save is better

[blazing python]

nah putting it in the Graphics folder wouldn't do anything either

CustomBattlers = Where your custom sprites are
Battlers = Where your non custom sprites are

those are the 2 important ones for Pokemon Sprites

[storm latch]

thanks a lot megaman

[blazing python]

going forward also, now if there is an update, you can just rerun INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat. You don't need to reinstall or anything

that file will take care of the update for you

[storm latch]

yeah hopefully i wont have any problems with the launcher or the game in general

just waiting for the install to finish

[blazing python]

The launcher is really buggy right now so hoping for fixes on that

it keeps breaking ppls games

and needing to reinstall

[north tiger]

im having a problem, the map sprites arent loading when i go to then, for example the forest in the beggining of the game

[storm latch]

but thanks a lot i know you guys work all day fixing it and helping people and dont get the praise you deserve so thanks a lot for what you're doing i really appreciate it

[north tiger]

i need to load a fight for then to load

should i report as a bug?

[blazing python]

No this is an issue on your end. Where did you get the files to install the game?

[north tiger]

from the link here on the discord

[blazing python]

What version of windows are you on?

[north tiger]

windows 10

[blazing python]

1. The performance of the Game **largely **depend on your pc and internet. Most Laptops are **struggling **because of the 6.x update. Old computers struggle too.
2. If your game is in a OneDrive folder, turn it off. This game lags hard with OneDrive.
3. Best way to reduce lag is downloading sprites yourself. The more sprites you have, the less it needs to connect to the internet to download them.

• The optimized version of the game is "game-preloaded" but this requires you to download **ALL **the sprites from the pinned instructions on the top right of the tech support channel. Click the Shortcut -> #tech-support message

4. If the game is still slow after using game-preloaded, you need to make computer upgrades.

[north tiger]

oh ok, thank you so much!

[storm latch]

hey megaman just wanted to check something with you befoer i do it

can i extract the tool in the game folder or will that cause issues

[blazing python]

For the sprite tool? Probably better to unzip that separately outside of your game folder since it isn't needed in there

[storm latch]

alright thanks

[south quest]

Hey so I can't run the preloaded version of the game because it's missing the custom base sprites. as in the custom sprites for regular pokemon, not any of the fusions, is there a package that contains all of those so I can download it?

[blazing python]

for preloaded you need more than custom base sprites. It is just complaining about that first. You need the whole set of sprites from this channel or use our sprite import tool to do it for you

[tight hollow]

Can someone help me with this? I have a Samsung A34 5G

[blazing python]

The post above your message shows our pins in this channel that has the Android guide. This error happens when you don't use the plugin verisons we list in there

[sturdy marsh]

how do i fix this

[sturdy marsh]

pls help

[dapper olive]

someone please help

[sturdy marsh]

infinite fusion is my life

[tight hollow]

I can't find this

[blazing python]

if you on mobile press the button on the top right of discord and there is a Pins section

[blazing python]

This means you are trying to open game-preloaded without installing the preloaded sprites. Look at our pinned messages on how to add them or use our tool that does this for you

[blazing python]

the launcher is buggy, this means the allowed times to install was exceeded. Wait up to an hour and try again some other time. We recommend installing using our other installation methods right now anyways cause of the bugs

[sturdy marsh]

can i know this other installating method?

[blazing python]

Top right of discord shows the pinned messages

[sturdy marsh]

so would u recommend deleting the current laucher from my files?

[blazing python]

yeah

[sturdy marsh]

ok tyvm

[tight hollow]

Still the same after I downloaded the one pinned

[verbal timber]

first pinned comment

[blazing python]

you need the exact version of RPGMaker plugin and JoiPlay version we listed

[ashen remnant]

does anyone know why my loading screens last so much?

im not using preloaded launcher btw

[blazing python]

1. The performance of the Game **largely **depend on your pc and internet. Most Laptops are **struggling **because of the 6.x update. Old computers struggle too.
2. If your game is in a OneDrive folder, turn it off. This game lags hard with OneDrive.

[tight hollow]

It worked, thanks for your help

[marble timber]

can someone please tell me why this isnt working?

[blazing python]

It says disconnected. It means your Internet is not stable. Try again until it works.

You can try resetting your modem/router also.

[tight hollow]

Is this normal?

[blazing python]

the guide has a fix for this as well if this issue is happening for you

it has a link to a patch to download

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/790141220726636554/1154047075131064330/infinitefusion_5.3.1.2_patch.rga

[limpid basin]

can i get some help getting IF on my chrome book

HELLLLPPPP PLEASE

[tight hollow]

Still the same

[limpid basin]

@leaden mesa Hey do you mind helping me get IF on my chromebook

[blazing python]

we don't have chromebook guide

[blazing python]

not sure, that fixes it for everyone

[tight hollow]

I updated everything with the ones you showed me

[blazing python]

Yeah I am not sure. Everyone that followed the guide step by step it works for them.

This game is not made for Android so hard to troubleshoot. Not sure how else to help

[tight hollow]

Okay, but thanks

[quasi laurel]

how do i add the sprite pack into launcher?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @quasi laurel! 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!

[blazing python]

You can use the .zip file in the Preloaded instructions or our Sprite Import tool to get the Preloaded Sprites. Instructions are in the pins of this channel

[kindred shadow]

Every time i attempt to run the game, I get this exact error. Do I need to download this program to run the game or is it just the file I downloaded?

[blazing python]

that means you missed the part of configure .net desktop 6

[fast bolt]

That is required for the new launcher. It is official from microsoft.

[blazing python]

Our Mac tutorial goes through setting that up in WineSkin

You also need to install WineTricks, not sure where you are in your steps to install the game, but here is the video starting there: https://youtu.be/0ag4ma5268c?t=228

[rare tartan]

what the differance between launchers?

[blazing python]

there is only 1 launcher. It has the UI above you can see.

the other is a batch file installer to install the game that gives you all the files, no UI for it

[rare tartan]

ok

[timber narwhal]

Hello, today I tried to install "infinite fusion" and I encountered two errors, one during download and another when opening the game. Is there anyone who knows how to help me???
I have looked at the errors section but have not found a solution to the problem.
I downloaded the game using the .zip file ("infinitefusion.zip") from the Discord server. I have attached the two screenshots of the errors. In the first screenshot you will see two circles listed at number 1 ("error, the system could not find the specified file.data/species.zip"), in the second circle it says ("system error, the system could not can find the specified file"). installer/updater made by hungry pickle"). please can someone help me???. thanks (this was made by google traductor sorry)

[blazing python]

1st screenshot is not an error, it is a bug with the installer and can be ignored. it doesn't cause issues

[timber narwhal]

ok

[blazing python]

2nd screenshot is you are trying to open game-preloaded without installing the preloaded sprites

if you dont want to do this, open "Game" and "game-default" instead of preloaded

[timber narwhal]

What's the difference between one and other

???

[blazing python]

did you read the 1st post in #downloads ?

it explains everything there

[timber narwhal]

I've read it but I'm going to review it.

thanks

[blazing python]

This part ^^

[fallow badge]

Where is this

[blazing python]

the android guide in our pinned messages

(ANDROID) - 6.0.4 guide -> http://tinyurl.com/pifandroid

[fallow badge]

Thanks

[grim phoenix]

Hello, ive followed the mac tutorial up to the wrapper installer phase where when trying to copy the infinite fusion file it cannot find it, ive tried reinstalling the infinte fusion file itself, using the move option instead of copying, creating a new folder for the game file which didnt work, ive tried looking for help in the past threads but i cant find any, this is being done on a 10.13.6 Mac if that has anything to do with it
o-o ty for any help

[blazing python]

did you extract the files before trying to move them over?

it should be a folder you are moving

[grim phoenix]

ive extraxted the full installer folder, not the actual exe

[quaint tapir]

hello i tried to download all the sprite (megaman) and interrupted it cause it seemed to not work and now when i launch the game i get this message...

[blazing python]

what to do you mean by interrupted it cause it seemed to not work

and you get that error because you didn't finish the process of importing the sprites so of course it isnt going to work

[tough hound]

how do i know if i have the dynamic version of the game?

[quaint tapir]

the downloading was stuck

[blazing python]

it installs it by default

[quaint tapir]

like it wouldn't launch itself

[tough hound]

aight, thank you

[blazing python]

i would need a screenshot, not really understanding what you are doing

[blazing python]

it is named "game" and "Game-default" both are dynamic

[quaint tapir]

it really just stays like this

[blazing python]

so when you Press Install Software on WineSkin, you are selecting copy folder and navigating to that exact folder and giving you an error?

[blazing python]

a black window pops up

[quaint tapir]

nah

[grim phoenix]

i click "Copy a Folder Inside" , i choose that folder from the desktop, it loads for a second and then outputs the error

this screen

[blazing python]

then your anti virus is blocking it. a black window will appear with this

or the folder you are pointing it to has no permissions

I always recommend for any installations of the game and sprites, the game folder should be on desktop

[quaint tapir]

i had this problem and put it in the user folder as it was telling me, and then gave it the admin autorization

[blazing python]

but that wouldn't give all the files in the installer permissions

this follows the same setup and limitations as the game so it needs to be in a folder with permissions

[quaint tapir]

can i not undo the process of installing the sprites then?

[quaint tapir]

it is

[blazing python]

it didn't do anything so there is nothing to undo

[quaint tapir]

then how do i launch the game without finishing the instalation

[blazing python]

if you don't want to move your game folder to the desktop to make it easier, then you download the sprites yourself manually

manual steps are here -> #tech-support message

[quaint tapir]

it is on the deskop 😭

[blazing python]

that isnt the desktop

[quaint tapir]

User is in local disk which is in deskop

[blazing python]

user folder is not desktop though

[quaint tapir]

"ce pc" is deskop if i'm not wrong

[blazing python]

but your path in the program is C:\Users\pkmnfsn

[quaint tapir]

C: is "disque local"

[blazing python]

it should be C:\Users\your name\Desktop

[quaint tapir]

ok i get the prblm

thx

i put it in user instead of user instead of user/name

[blazing python]

That is VERY odd, not sure why it would say that

[quaint tapir]

it works, thanx my man

[blazing python]

instead of the launcher files, can you use the files in this Mac tutorial instead?
https://youtu.be/eN4-4f6SZ0M

it is the same WineSkin setup, but we are going to use a different set of files

[grim phoenix]

oki ill try that ty :D

[tough hound]

how do i get mods?

[blazing python]

what kinda mods?

#general has the Kuray mod but that is a whole diff setup and installation process

[strong pike]

This pops up when tryig to download the game

[blazing python]

This looks good, ignore the bottom

[tough hound]

aight, thank you

[strong pike]

the bottom part

[strong pike]

well it didnt finish, i dont have it

[blazing python]

yeah ignore it, it is leftover text of a file not used anymore

[strong pike]

so where is it lol

[blazing python]

the files are located in the same folder you ran INSTALL_OR_UPDATE

in your Downloads/InfiniteFusion/InfiniteFusion

[strong pike]

ok?

[blazing python]

?

[strong pike]

u do know im thick as hell so that made ZERO sense to me lol

[strong pike]

ok

[blazing python]

that is what it should look like

to open the game, double click on the one named "Game"

[strong pike]

ok, its opened

[blazing python]

ok cool lol you are good now right?

[strong pike]

nope

im still missing a feature

[blazing python]

so what issue are you having?

what feature?

[strong pike]

the battle one where it allows me to do 2v2 or 3v3s

its gone

ive checked, all the version of the game in that picture u got, not ONE has that option in it

[blazing python]

If I recall correctly, you have to unlock that feature. It isn't available from the start with no saves

if you want to know how to unlock ask in #gameplay-help

[strong pike]

huh, Zack told me it ISNT a unlockable

[fast bolt]

I've always had it from the start. Unless it's a thing like the modes where you need a save file first.

[strong pike]

what modes?

[fast bolt]

Try saving and then starting a new game

[blazing python]

yeah when I searched 2v2s in discord, someone said you need to have played before to see the option

[strong pike]

ok

[strong pike]

WHAT?

[blazing python]

As in, you need to have a save file before seeing the opion. Zack mentioned to create a save file and start a new game after

[strong pike]

so classic, modern, randomized, those modes right @fast bolt?

[blazing python]

I just reproduced. So yes you need an existing save file to unlock it

After having a save file, create a new game. Select whatever mode you want

once you are in the game, you will see the options

[strong pike]

ok, and what do ech of those modes do again?

[fast bolt]

?tag modes

[pearl magnet]

Here's an explanation for the different game modes! https://infinitefusion.fandom.com/wiki/Game_Modes

[blazing python]

whichever you want

[strong pike]

thank u @fast bolt and @blazing python

[fast bolt]

I wouldn't do modern until the update comes out for it though

There's a playtest going on right now

[strong pike]

ok, classic it it

[blazing python]

also there is a bug too with 2v2s and 3v3s. Sometimes you need to reset the option I believe

https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1153690818641678467

[strong pike]

oh

[blazing python]

https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1149032014058627092

[strong pike]

ill find out shortly then

game works, bit ill tell u tommorow if the bug is still going around for 2v2 and 3v3

[blazing python]

it for sure still is broken, if you search discord ppl are still complaining about it from last week people playing this mode

even yday lol

[plucky wave]

it's patched in KIF

I forgot about this issue since I patched it a long time ago, like since June

[verbal timber]

its been broken since about 5.2 or 5.3

it kind of functioned in 5.1 but had issues

[neon sierra]

help? what do i do?

using alt installer, moved the folder to the desk and still

[trim fox]

Just run it again, there was a hiccup in the connection that caused it to stop

[neon sierra]

its the fifth time trying to "run it again"

something makes sound to me
"remote origin already exists". thats bad?

[trim fox]

That's normal, the error is at the RPC fail

I don't know what keeps interrupting your connection unfortunately

[neon sierra]

same error again.

im using my phone's wifi cause my home's kinda slow. should i change that?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @neon sierra! 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.

[neon sierra]

wha

[trim fox]

Going back to the home connection would probably help for stability

[neon sierra]

lets see...

240 kb/per second

rip

and nope, same error again

[blazing python]

yeah the error says you are disconnecting so you need a stable internet connection

[trim fox]

Only other thing I could think of would be downloading the full zip from the mac video tutorial

[neon sierra]

ive already tried using the installer but it said something like " X number of megabytes limited" or something

[blazing python]

yeah that too if you can download 3gb^^

[neon sierra]

i mean it just takes a lot of time to open with the full zip..

[blazing python]

but you need a stable internet connection to play the game anyways or else your game will be very laggy

[trim fox]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN4-4f6SZ0M&feature=youtu.be The download is in this description

[neon sierra]

so i just download the version with the sprites incorporated?

[trim fox]

Correct

[neon sierra]

its says "for mac"

im in windows

[blazing python]

the files are Windows

the video uses Wine to allow it to be playable on Mac

[neon sierra]

this one right¿

[trim fox]

Yees

[blazing python]

yeah

[neon sierra]

alright alright

Hey @dusky plinth! 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.

are you on windows 8?

ah i see

where do i do it? update man?

[trim fox]

Correct

[midnight axle]

got it

thanks guys ❤️

[dusky plinth]

Let me check

[dusky plinth]

Windows 10 pro

[blazing python]

then it is just a loading issue for you unfortunately. This game needs stable internet and a decent computer. Right now a lot of laptops and older compueters are struggling

[dusky plinth]

Well shit..

[blazing python]

This is the default message we have for performance issues

1. The performance of the Game **largely **depend on your pc and internet. Most Laptops are **struggling **because of the 6.x update. Old computers struggle too.
2. If your game is in a OneDrive folder, turn it off. This game lags hard with OneDrive.
3. Best way to reduce lag is downloading sprites yourself. The more sprites you have, the less it needs to connect to the internet to download them.

• The optimized version of the game is "game-preloaded" but this requires you to download **ALL **the sprites from the pinned instructions on the top right of the tech support channel. Click the Shortcut -> #tech-support message

4. If the game is still slow after using game-preloaded, you need to make computer upgrades.

so if you want to try out step 3 or 4, it might help

[dusky plinth]

Ok so like is there a sprite folder to where i can pick and choose which to keep and use?

If I reduce the number of Sprites, it might work better?

[wheat quarry]

Is there a way to change the controls for keyboard?

[blazing python]

you need more sprites, not less

[blazing python]

Yes press F1

[wheat quarry]

thank youuuuuuu

[dusky plinth]

When you boot a game at the title screen it just says F1 in the top left for key bindings

[dusky plinth]

I need more sprites? But its the map that doesnt load

Ok so i've got the .zip downloading

[peak fiber]

Help

When i defeat Champion Blue, the credits can't display

[spark reef]

any way to stop or remedy the constant small freezes when moving or entering and leaving buildings

[peak fiber]

I mean that the background image of the credits appears but the credits themselves do not appear.

[fast bolt]

You're using the wrong plugin for joiplay. Follow the install guide in the pins

[fast bolt]

Check the pins and follow the guide to install everything for preloaded.

[blazing python]

you on android im assuming?

[peak fiber]

Yeah

[blazing python]

(ANDROID) - 6.0.4 guide -> http://tinyurl.com/pifandroid

has elite 4 fix

[blazing python]

the more sprites, the less load your computer is doing. The more chance your map will load. This is the only optimizations you can make to your game without needing to upgrade your computer

cause black map is an issue with your game loading

[fickle aspen]

Hi, good day everyone i just need a little help each time i finish the game this happens the credits won't show up and cant exit, im playing with joiplay and game version is 6.0.2

[blazing python]

Look above your post I posted the fix for your issue

[fickle aspen]

Ow thanks let me check

[vapid rock]

Hey, when I try and set my wired nintendo switch controllers keybinds, it won't input. How can I fix this?

[trim fox]

You could try download an input mapper like JoyToKey to map the inputs to key presses

[vapid rock]

Will try. Thank You!!

[last mural]

I am not very tech savvy and can not figure out how to get the sprites on to the game

This is all it shows in the infinite fusion folder where it says I am supposed to have more files to drag and drop sprites in

[glad wren]

how would i be able to switch music in the files like for example trainers, wild themes

as i am more fond of certain songs compared to the chosen ones from the download (no offense)

[blazing python]

Not sure what instructions you are following, but none reference that folder you have opened

Also the game automatically downloads the sprites for you as you encounter Pokemon, you don’t need to download them yourself

[last mural]

@blazing python I have no clue what I am doing, does that include the special sprite packs?

[blazing python]

I’m saying don’t worry about the sprites and open the game to start playing. You only need the sprites manually if you have performance issues

[blazing python]

Not sure. Tried with someone else to replace a music file and it didn’t work. It isn’t as simple as just renaming a file like sprites

[glad wren]

i noticed that they are .ogg files, maybe theres a way to convert mp4s into .ogg

[last mural]

@blazing python So I don't have to do anything? And I have been trying for the last hour to get the alternate sprites downloaded

[glad wren]

i think it auto-downloads the alt sprites as well, its done that for me

[blazing python]

Nope just open the file named Game and you are good

[last mural]

Thank you SMH

[blazing python]

We tested it by just swapping a music file that already exists to a different name and it didn’t work

[glad wren]

i may google it to see if there is a way soon

[blazing python]

I’m saying it isn’t a file conversion issue btw

[glad wren]

i know

[glad wren]

i've tried this and i figured as well

which is why i asked here

[dusky plinth]

Well i updated and imported all the new sprites and it still black screened. Im too poor to buy a new comp

[turbid terrace]

Hey @dusky plinth! 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.

[dusky plinth]

I give up, its not anyones fault. My comp is just too old

[agile flame]

Has anyone got version 6 working on steam deck? I'm having issues.

[blazing python]

Our steam deck guide is in the pinned messages

Shortcut -> #tech-support message

[agile flame]

That is the guide I followed but when I try to open the game it just closes again

[viral pivot]

Make sure the compatibility settings are right. Should be Proton8-25

I just got it up and running on my deck a few minutes ago

[agile flame]

Yea I've got it set to Proton8-25 too

I have version 5 on my deck and working but a lot sprites don't load

[signal cloud]

I wasnt sure where to ask, but does the mobile version download work on ios?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @signal cloud! 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.

[fast bolt]

No

[blazing python]

Have you tried removing the game from Steam then going back to Steam directly and adding the game as a non Steam game? I think right click adding to Steam isn’t working for everyone sometimes

[signal cloud]

Thank you

[agile flame]

Yes I have tried that

[fickle aspen]

End credits still not working 😦 is there a way to maybe just skip it sir?

[blazing python]

Yeah not sure a very small amount of users are having this issue. I believe it is a steam deck issue somewhere but not sure what it is because the files 100% work.

[blazing python]

Elite 4 fix is in our guide

http://tinyurl.com/pifandroid

[fickle aspen]

I tried it already also with the patch but maybe i missed something ill give it another go

[blazing python]

It isn’t a patch. You have to downgrade your rpg maker to the version we specify

[sweet fulcrum]

Anyone can halp? Says " system cannot find the specified file "

[blazing python]

The issue is you are installing on your E drive. For installation we recommend your c drive on desktop

You can move it back after the installation

[sweet fulcrum]

Moved to Desktop, same error

[blazing python]

Screenshot it again so I can see. Don’t look at the bottom, that isn’t the real error

[fickle aspen]

And that i missed im using 1.20.53 hahahah ill downgrade my rpgm now

[blazing python]

Do you see a .git folder in your folder?

It is usually hidden

[sweet fulcrum]

Yep see it

[blazing python]

Delete it and try it again

It can’t connect to the server but maybe deleting the .git connection from what it was on E drive stopped it

[sweet fulcrum]

Same error kek

And .git was created again

[blazing python]

Yeah your computer can’t connect to the repo for some reason

Something on your end stopping it

[sweet fulcrum]

Mmm somehow the Windows defender even deactivated was blocking it

I turned on simplewall and let the file get internet and its working lmao

[blazing python]

Well there you go lol

[sweet fulcrum]

After this i should copy the Sprites aight?

Btw, i keep my Game from the Launcher version? I dont want to begin from 0 Dx

[blazing python]

Yeah you can copy sprites after or use our sprite import tool if your firewall lets you lol but yeah your save file is still good

[sweet fulcrum]

Aight thxs for the help m8

[north sable]

Got everything working except I try to enter my name and hitting enter or escape does nothing x.x

[fast bolt]

Mobil? Go to options and change text input from keyboard to cursor

[north sable]

Beautiful, thank you

[sterile pivot]

where's the guide?

[sweet fulcrum]

Which one?

[sterile pivot]

6.0.4

[fast bolt]

[sterile pivot]

thanks

[signal ridge]

is the alt launcher in downloads the best verison to download? im having issues with loading time and just want to make sure im getting the most recent verison

[fast bolt]

Any download will be the most recent version

For loading issues, you need to follow the guide in the pins here for preloaded

[stone basin]

as soon as I downloaded the launcher I can't open the exe version of it. does anybody know why?

[fast bolt]

The launcher is broken for many people. Don't use it.

[sweet fulcrum]

Ah, #tech-support message

[sweet fulcrum]

[stone basin]

ok ty

[bronze quail]

hello, I just installed the game using the pinned instructions & also used the megaman sprite importer. However, loading both the pre-loaded & Game.exe gives me this issue where my starter image does not appear in battle or in the summary page. Any help to resolve this is much appreciated!

[blazing python]

When Game.exe opened, did it say 109k sprites were imported?

[bronze quail]

i don't recall the exact number, but it was above 100k for sure

[blazing python]

Ok so that means the sprites were imported. So which do you want to play? Game.exe or preloaded?

Instructions to try depend on which you want to play

[bronze quail]

i would like to play preloaded as the game.exe has long load times for my system

[stone basin]

I ment this image would show up everytime

[blazing python]

Did you turn off Download Sprites from in game settings?

[bronze quail]

yes, it is currently turned off

[blazing python]

You are on an old version, you’d have to reinstall to the latest. Your save doesn’t get touched reinstalling

[errant carbon]

This is probably a dumb question, but why can't I submit my character name? I just ran the installation steps for android and after starting it up and typing in my name, I can't proceed.

Relatedly, is there a recommended keybind mapping for android? I don't mind changing things, but as this is a game designed for PC, I don't know what the default keybinds are going to be.

[turbid terrace]

Hey @errant carbon! 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.

[sterile pivot]

nuh uh

[fast bolt]

For your name, go to options and change text input from keyboard to cursor

[blazing python]

Do you mind showing me your Graphics folder?

[bronze quail]

here ya go!

[blazing python]

And you are opening the game from AppData/Roaming/InfiniteFusion?

[bronze quail]

yup!

[blazing python]

Ok yeah everything seems set up fine. If you go to the Pokédex, do you see more sprites for charmander at all? Video below shows how to see the sprites

[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

[bronze quail]

okay i think i need to get past the starting battle to access the pokedex

[blazing python]

Ah yeah that is true. That seems really odd unless restarting the game helps. I know in preloaded, party sprites are missing and only appear after restarting

https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1180598056404664350

But ive only seen this happen if you have download sprites turned on on accident or the sprite is missing

[bronze quail]

i have restarted it, let me try & speed through to get the pokedex & see what it looks like

[bronze quail]

so it appears that the same issue with some other pokemon as well - e.g. pidgey. When I go into charmander's sprites, only 1 appears, the rest are blank

[blazing python]

If you go here: Graphics/CustomBattlers/customBaseSprites

Are there thousands of sprites there?

Same with Graphics/Battlers?

[bronze quail]

for Graphics/Battlers, there are 472 folders, all with sprites inside. However, customBaseSprites only has those few sprites in the folder

[bronze quail]

oh one additional sprite just appeared in the customBaseSprites

[blazing python]

That doesn’t make sense. Your game shouldn’t be opening since it is missing the customBaseSprites

[bronze quail]

i have now just received an ENOENT error actually

weird, it let me get in earlier

[blazing python]

Yeah so the sprites weren’t imported it failed somewhere

It got 1 repo but not the others

[bronze quail]

i see

that's strange

should i now reinstall the sprites using the importer?

[blazing python]

Yes but do you mind changing 1 thing if you have time?

[bronze quail]

sure!

[blazing python]

in the tool folder, you see the file named "megamanSpriteImporter.bat"?

can you right click it, click see more options, and click Edit. it should open it in notepad like this

Yours will say 1.0.3, this is a screenshot from the version prior

[bronze quail]

got it

[blazing python]

At the very bottom you will see it say exit

Can you replace it to pause?

[bronze quail]

okay

done!

[blazing python]

This will make it so the black window will stay open. So if there is an error we can see. Press CTRL + S to save the file and you can rerun the tool again

[bronze quail]

okie will run it now

do i need to sign up with Git Lab?

[blazing python]

No you shouldn’t is something popping up for that?

[bronze quail]

yes

[blazing python]

The repos are in Gitlab but you don’t need to sign in

[bronze quail]

so i can just close it?

[blazing python]

Is the black window paused right now?

[bronze quail]

this is what's currently showing

[blazing python]

Oh interesting. If you close Gitlab, I wonder if it gives you an error

It might actually be a problem with the sprite repo that I could have to check

[bronze quail]

let me try closing it

i closed it & this is the text

it now says updating files at the last line

[blazing python]

Yup it is a repo error. The files you are missing is in the one it says it can’t connect to

I know a workaround really quick to solve this for you

[bronze quail]

i see

[fickle aspen]

Sir is there in the script where i can just turn off the credit scene?

[blazing python]

Nope, gotta downgrade your rpgmaker to go through

You can upgrade it again after but yeah only fix for it

[fickle aspen]

I did downgraded it a few minutes ago tried it again and still not working

[blazing python]

To 1.20.41? Has to be that version

[blazing python]

Can you go to Graphics/other?

[fickle aspen]

Yup 1.20.41

[bronze quail]

okie

[blazing python]

That was a trick lol you are supposed to be on 1.20.28 the documentation lists that

https://www.patreon.com/posts/81829260

[blazing python]

go to BaseSprites

all of these copy to Graphics/CustomBattlers/customBaseSprites

EXCEPT the folder named "96x96 sprites + assets"

[blazing python]

also I found the problem with the repo, making a fix in like a minute too

[fickle aspen]

Thanks ill give it another go

[bronze quail]

the customBaseSprites folder seems to have disappeared

[blazing python]

you can add it manually

[bronze quail]

okie! no worries about the current fix then, i can just wait for it to be updated

thanks much for the help! will try the above as well

[fallen summit]

@urban burrow following on from this #general message , which of these launchers did you use?

[urban burrow]

game preload. before i just used the exe launcher and that had the same icon so i assumed that was the right one

[fallen summit]

try the "game" application instead

[urban burrow]

ill try

[fallen summit]

preloaded is for when you have all of the sprites installed locally

[blazing python]

If you want to play preloaded you need to install 2gb of sprites or play "Game" instead

[urban burrow]

is that just more sprites that defult?

[blazing python]

it is getting sprites directly from your computer instead of the internet

[fallen summit]

same sprites - just differnt in how tehy load

[urban burrow]

ah

the game loaded

it worked!

thank you so much!!

[fallen summit]

generally speaking you are better of using game.exe unless you have issues, then if the fine folks here suggest going preloaded worry about installing the sprites then

great! enjoy

[urban burrow]

yall are so nice and helpful it is really appreciated!!

[ripe swan]

is there an easy way to get this game on mac, because im not finding one?

[blazing python]

Our pinned guides. It isn't "easy" though, you do need to go through a setup process to do it since it is not made for Mac

[fallen summit]

just a reminder that the game uses the internet to download sprites - if you intend to play offline pop back over here in tech support and ask how to switch over to preloaded, it isnt too bad

[fickle aspen]

Thanks it works now sooo basically when its time for the end credit scene i just have to install and reinstall the older rpgm version until its fixed?

[urban burrow]

good to know! i have good internet here so that hopefully wont be a problem but super good to know

[blazing python]

Correct, that is the only spot you need to do this for. Afterwards you can go back to a newer version if you want

[fickle aspen]

Thanks for the help sir pretty much appreciated, ill just keep both apk version for now

[limber peak]

i got an error

[blazing python]

It says disconnected. It means your Internet is not stable. Try again until it works.

You can try resetting your modem/router also.

I am pushing a new version in like 2-3 minutes

[sweet fulcrum]

But is like, not doin anything?

Get the same ? Pokes sprites

[blazing python]

I know. I am making code changes and updating it

[sweet fulcrum]

Ah oke

Time to wait

[blazing python]

So I am looking at your screenshot,

This one is a connection issue on your side

403 is internet issue

you had this issue with installing the game also earlier

One of the errors is because of me making code changes, but this error above shouldn't happen

[sweet fulcrum]

I Will wait till u finish and try again

[blazing python]

updated now: https://github.com/x-megaman/InfiniteFusionPreloaded/releases/

[ashen remnant]

how can I turn off the turbo mode?

[blazing python]

Press Q or if on preloaded it is spacebar

[sweet fulcrum]

Same internet error ugh

[sweet fulcrum]

Where i can download these files without the tool?

[blazing python]

Here -> #tech-support message

[sweet fulcrum]

I have to wait or smtg? Never used Drive before

[blazing python]

You viewing it on Android so maybe press the button on top right. On PC it looks like this

[ashen remnant]

the screen freezes when I put the randomized mode on

[sweet fulcrum]

Welp It freezes

[blazing python]

what do you mean by put it on? how are you using the randomizer?

[sweet fulcrum]

Sigh, i quit, thxs for the help

[ashen remnant]

just the update man

pokemon center

the screen freezes when wild pokemon are shuffled

re shuffled*

[fast bolt]

Dumb question but are you pressing to continue the dialogue?

[ashen remnant]

yes

[fast bolt]

The "..." makes it seem like something is happening, but nothing happens until you continue

[ashen remnant]

freezes on the message "wild pokemon have been re-shuffled"

[lavish raft]

I don't get how the sprite thing works, I launched the game once on joiplay android and it's been pumping out like over 30k images into my gallery

[turbid terrace]

Hey @lavish raft! 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.

[lavish raft]

well is it normal for that to happen?

[blazing python]

Game is not made for Android. That is a known issue and you delete them from your gallery

[fast bolt]

Yes. This is why we say don't add the sprites on your device. The game will download them automatically as you play.

[lavish raft]

like with "downloads automatically from the internet" means I get a whole lot of images on the gallery

[lavish raft]

oh alright then it's fine right

[fast bolt]

The sprites are just png images. Images will go to your gallery. That's just how the game works.

[lavish raft]

okay thanks

one more question

how many png images are there?

in total

[sweet fulcrum]

Is there any way to download those Sprites from here or smtg like Telegram?

Drive isnt downloading anything ughh

[blazing python]

Not sure if your game downloaded them all but completely amount of Pokemon sprites is that much

[blazing python]

Nope

[sweet fulcrum]

Welp

I Guess i cant play then

Thxs for ur time

[blazing python]

Did you try playing without them? You don’t need them to play

The normal version of the game downloads the sprites as you encounter Pokemon

You only need the sprites if your performance is slow, slow internet or want to play offline

[sweet fulcrum]

My internet is as slow as 16-126kb/s during day, i cant really play like that

[blazing python]

Ah ok

[blazing python]

Oh I have an idea, I forgot I have the full files on mediafire

[sweet fulcrum]

Oh, if u can share the link, i would let It download the rest if the night and try It tomorrow ( its 4 am already ☠️ )

[blazing python]

https://youtu.be/LRzdEYJsRhU?si=qCruxJKn6XiSQsfU

Description of the video has the mediafire link

It will be the complete game though. So the sprites will be in the Graphics folder

[sweet fulcrum]

So thats unzip and is the whole game?

[blazing python]

Yeah whole game and all the sprites

[sweet fulcrum]

Aight thxs, time to get some sleep, i hope there is no errors tmrrw

Sorry for bothering that much

[blazing python]

No worries! Hope it works

[limber peak]

this time it seems like i downloaded it

should I download this?

You only need it to play offline or preloaded. If Game works for you, you don't need it.

[sterile pivot]

ahh right

Hello! I have installed the game on my retroid pocket 3+ using joiplay (I have used the android version). The game runs fine but it seems to be in 4:3 aspect ratio. Is there a way to change it to 16:9? Also does anyone know the key bindings for the retroid pocket 3+ please. I have figured out that L1 is fast forward. Thanks.

If that's the case I'll just give up then. If people who already know what their doing have issues I'll just stop.

[verbal timber]

check the first pinned message for the phobile guide

it is jank but sort of functional

only other solution I can recommend is start saving up for a PC

preferably a windows one, but a mac will do in a pinch

not sure the game can be played on chromebooks in any capacity without some serious shenanigans

[verbal timber]

that specific error though has been solved

Every new game after the first has options.

[gusty vessel]

Cool thanks friend

[ancient parcel]

Downloaded the game just now (for the 3rd time, after I had to get my pc formatted for the 2nd time) and received this error when trying to open it

[jaunty turtle]

Idk what's up with my laptop

Cause every time I try to extelract these files my laptop freezes

Every single TIME

[twilit hound]

Me and a friend, both on windows laptops, currently experiencing an issue with leaving/entering buildings, and finishing battles. The game freezes for approx. 20/30 seconds every time. I've done some research and there are other experiencing this but I can't seem to find any solution besides the alt launcher, but that's not present in the version we have (which is the latest version, dowloaded it today). Does anyone know how to solve this? The game is playable but its so tedious to wait every time.

[stuck pagoda]

Good day to all, just updating on the bug that occurred to me when playing wherein every new pokemon turned into pikachu (pyukumuku, oricorio etc), it was fixed when I tried downloading the original installer and swapped it's files with the old one, old save was unstable due to said bug and new saves now works as intended. Thank you for helping! Have a great day.

[ancient parcel]

Bumpin this
Someone Pls help

[fast bolt]

The only way to fix that lag is to follow the instructions for preloaded in the pinned message here.

[fast bolt]

This is a problem with your computer's graphics card. Not the game.

[twilit hound]

thanks, I'll try it now

[jaunty turtle]

Hi I'm using the megman.exe app thing to install the sprites

It seems to have worked the first time as im at the black screen but as it closed a error popped up and I clicked run anyway and this screen never said it was finished so I closed it

[turbid terrace]

Hey @jaunty turtle! 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.

[jaunty turtle]

I meant this screen

I opened the gane it hasn't said anything about sprited being preloaded so obviously it didn't work

And now the black screen is stuck on this

[ancient parcel]

Sigh
Alr then, thx.
Would you give me an idea of how to fix it?
Also, I don't remember this happening to me before, I'm using the same pc as I did before.

[jaunty turtle]

Looks like my computer is jsut gonna be laggy great

[fast bolt]

Try with the updatedsprites.zip instead of the tool if it's not working. Just extract it and put the graphics folder from inside into your game folder where you already have a graphics folder. Merge the two together.

[fast bolt]

Might have to wait for someone more technical to get on if you're looking for graphics card fixes. Not my expertise.

[ancient parcel]

Aight
I'll wait 👍

[jaunty turtle]

I can't every single time I try to extract it the extracter jsut freezes

[fast bolt]

Use winrar or 7zip. The extractor built into windows sucks

Both are free

Winrar says it's not, but the "free trial" never ends

[twilit hound]

the tutorial is for dowloading sprites for the preloaded version, right? how can I access the preloaded version itself

[fast bolt]

Game-preloaded.exe

It won't work without the sprites

[twilit hound]

where can i find that file?

[fast bolt]

In the game's folder?

Wherever you downloaded it to

[twilit hound]

right yeah, got it

[hidden rose]

Hello, is it possible to modify the shiny rate on Pokémon Infinite Fusion if so how can we do it thank you

[fast bolt]

Only with the kuray version. Pinned in #general

It has lots of other features. They have their own discord server too.

It's almost a different game.

[jaunty turtle]

Ok so for the installer the Megaman one I now somehow got the message that says all the sprites were downloaded but when I opened up the game It didn't say about any imported files

[turbid terrace]

Hey @jaunty turtle! 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!

[fast bolt]

Can you screenshot your graphics folder for me?

[jaunty turtle]

Kk

[fast bolt]

Do you get the error message when you try to open the preloaded game still?

[jaunty turtle]

I'm using Normal game not the preloaded game

[fast bolt]

Then why are you trying to install the preloaded sprites?

You don't need them to play normally

The game will download them on its own

[jaunty turtle]

My game lags like crazy whenever I leave a battle or exit a building

Like the screen is black for 10 to 20 secinds

[fast bolt]

You have to use the preloaded game to fix that

Not just the sprites

[jaunty turtle]

.....the preloaded game won't even open for me

The screen has been black for 2 minutes

[fast bolt]

It will if you installed the sprites correctly

That's normal

It takes longer to start

[jaunty turtle]

Oh

[fast bolt]

But runs smoother when playing

[jaunty turtle]

Well I shall let you know if it goes well and the sprites are downloaded

This happened

So what now

[blazing python]

So you said you used the importer tool? It opened up Game.exe after. Did it say 109k sprites were imported?

[jaunty turtle]

No it didn't open up game exe I had to open up the game manually myself

And jo it didn't say that

No

[blazing python]

Then the importer didn’t run

Or had an error

What is the location of your game folder you pointed the tool to?

[twilit hound]

after i dowload the sprites, move them, run the game, and replace the sprites in-game, do i exit and run preloaded, or just play as is?

[jaunty turtle]

Infinite fusion and I jsut clicked graphics folder itself I watched your tutorial on YouTube
Like the black screen showed up it downloaded the files
Then it closed but this never popped up

[blazing python]

Exit and open preloaded

[turbid terrace]

Hey @jaunty turtle! 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.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/308392115338084360/994274889055875142/Capture.PNG

[twilit hound]

tyy

[blazing python]

Yeah by default it will open the game in the path provided. If it didn’t, it means you gave it a path where there is no Game.exe in the folder prior to it

[jaunty turtle]

So what do I do

I deleted it cause I thought preloaded would fix my problems and now I have re-downloaded it

I'm selecting graphics folder and I'm installing sprites

[blazing python]

Well I also see you have the game pinned to your taskbar like 4 times, seems like you have many game folders

[jaunty turtle]

I have other games

[blazing python]

Ah kk

What did you delete?

[jaunty turtle]

Just the Megamall sprite importer

Megaman

And now this is my screen

[blazing python]

Ok but the only reason the importer wouldn’t work is cause it is in a folder with no permissions so we will see what happens

This is fine so far

[acoustic glen]

tryna download the game and I got this

[blazing python]

That means your internet having issues installing the game

Using the alt installer gives you more time before timing out

[jaunty turtle]

I'm a bit confused so I jsut wait ftm?

[heavy ridge]

I just downloaded InfiniteFusion, used INSTALL_OR_UPDATE and got this error. Can someone help me here?

[blazing python]

Yeah as the text says, this depends on your machine how fast it goes

[blazing python]

Says you disconnected. Your internet isn’t stable. Try again until it goes through

[heavy ridge]

Thank you!

[acoustic glen]

it times me out immediately tho on the launcher that im using and my internet is fine for everything else. Is there any other issue that could cause that

[jaunty turtle]

Well shouldn't take long it took around 30 minutes or more when the sprites were downloading before I have alot of storage space on my laptop

[blazing python]

Nope. The launcher is really buggy also, it doesn’t have retry method to install the game or for connection issues. Use our other installation method instead

[acoustic glen]

ok

[blazing python]

The first step is cleaning out the prior sprites. This purely depends on your computer be patient please.

[jaunty turtle]

I will it's jsut I have somewhere to be in like 5 hours is all

I will be on the road for 3 hours for Christmas stuff is all and I hope it gets done before then

[blazing python]

What path is your game folder on?

[jaunty turtle]

Path?

[blazing python]

Folder path. When you selected the folder on the tool

[jaunty turtle]

My brain isn't bracing sorry I'm still a bit confused

Where my mouse is
Is where I put it if that's what you mean

[blazing python]

Yeah so your desktop/InfiniteFusion ok got it

Oh you put the importer in the graphics folder? You aren’t supposed to do that

I guess no harm with it, but the tool shouldn’t go in there

[jaunty turtle]

In? Nono I followed your video tutorial

I did what you did

[blazing python]

Oh sorry I just woke up

[jaunty turtle]

Ur fine

[blazing python]

Nvm I got it you are good

Still on the step of resetting the folder?

[jaunty turtle]

Now we play the waiting game

And yes resetting current battlers

[blazing python]

If you go to Graphics and hover over CustomBattlers, how large does it say the folder is?

[jaunty turtle]

Is rhat bad

[blazing python]

the tool is deleting that folder and Battlers so that you have a clean slate before starting to grab the sprites. So it is expected, but your computer is pretty slow it seems if it takes this long to delete files. usually this is a 1-3 minute process

it should be on Resetting Battlers now right? honestly at this point, might have to try something different since your computer might not be able to handle the importer tool

[jaunty turtle]

I'm on resetting current battles rn

[blazing python]

might be faster if you stop the whole thing and delete the folder yourself

[blazing python]

ok nice, now it is downloading the files

[jaunty turtle]

Our internet cam be fickle at times

[blazing python]

oh.. lol

well good luck

🍀

if this doesn't work I can give you something else since you on a time crunch

[jaunty turtle]

Ok it says all sprites have been downloaded

But now this sint working

[fast bolt]

You can ignore that error. That file isn't used anymore

[blazing python]

there is another step it is doing

[fast bolt]

Just start the game. It will work.

[acoustic glen]

ok sick

[jaunty turtle]

Ok the importer opened up the game on its own Here's to hoping this works

[blazing python]

did you force close the app there?

I hope not

[jaunty turtle]

I haven't closed anything

[blazing python]

ok cool

[jaunty turtle]

The game popup is jsut a black screen atm but I'm being patient

[turbid terrace]

Hey @jaunty turtle! 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.

[blazing python]

just FYI, it looks like you put your game folder in a OneDrive folder. This is known to lag the game or cause errors in case you wanted to turn off sync in that folder

[sterile pivot]

I'm having issues with trying to get the game on my computer

[blazing python]

do you have an error to show us?

[sterile pivot]

No whenever I install the game and go through all of the steps it doesn't even show up at all

[blazing python]

is this when you open INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat? We would need a screenshot of that black window to troubleshoot for you

[sterile pivot]

Okay

[blazing python]

so far so good it is downloading

[sterile pivot]

Okay

[jaunty turtle]

FINALLY

The sprites were imortef

Now let's see if this fixes my lag probelm

Nope lag problem still exists GREEEAAAATTT

[blazing python]

did you use game-preloaded?

and have Download Sprites turned Off?

[fast bolt]

That file isn't used anymore. Ignore that error.

You can just play the game now

[blazing python]

This is fixed now, just waiting for Frogman to update the post lol

#1183211342346330143 message

[jaunty turtle]

Ima try that

[fast bolt]

Yeah, I saw that. Will be nice once it is updated. Already answered it many times just today so far.

[jaunty turtle]

Hmmmmm semi faster but not really

I'm trying preloaded next

[blazing python]

preloaded is the optimized exe for the game. If it is still slow after that, nothing left on the game side to help. You'd have to make upgrades on your side

[void sorrel]

Would it be possible to get some help on this please?

[forest fox]

Hey all, wondering if anyone had the same issue and has a fix:

1. Solved the sprite loading issue with preloaded + full download
2. However the mini sprites of any fused pokemon become missing, sometimes, from PC/team screens. Restart usually fixes it.

[blazing python]

the game is not made for that device. There is no configurations we can provide to help. This would be on JoiPlays end since that is what you are using to install on that device

[fast bolt]

This has been happening to basically everyone with preloaded on 6.0

[forest fox]

Thanks, good to know that it's a common issue

any workarounds besides restarting?

[blazing python]

Nope no other workaround at the moment -> https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1180598056404664350

you can leave a comment in there though. The more attention the more chance it will get to be fixed

[sterile pivot]

I got it to work

[forest fox]

Ok. I was very confused why celadon pokemon shop took my money and didn't give the pokemons - turns out it's just missing icons. It does make sense story-wise, got scammed by team rockets. 🙂

[blazing python]

lol! oh there is also a setting from in game you can change if you want also. Instead of seeing fusion sprites, it will show the DNA icon. I know it isn't eye pleasing but at least it won't be empty/invis

[jaunty turtle]

Ok it's better I jsut wish I could change the keybindings and why is it slower when I use the speedup button

[fast bolt]

F1 changes keybinds and speedup is spacebar by default on preloaded

[jaunty turtle]

Oooh ok I'm so used to space for my go to

[blazing python]

you can probably reference this since the buttons might not be what they mean lol

[jaunty turtle]

I'm on hp f1 brings up something else

[blazing python]

press FN+F1

[jaunty turtle]

Thanks

[void sorrel]

Thank you for the clarification. Appreciate it.

[chilly cedar]

Does using defense curl the turn before using rollout/iceball double it's power like in the mainline games?

Haven't got an answer in general or game help so I figured maybe tech would know since it would be something mechanical in the game code.

[blazing python]

Game help is the appropriate place to ask this question. Please be patient in a response instead of asking in three different channels.

[chilly cedar]

Okay sorry

[blazing python]

But in general, this game follows GEN five mechanics. So if it was in GEN five, it should work the same. Keyword being should lol

[high trout]

For some reason the input is not working.

I tried reinstalling the game and nothing

i cant even get past the start screen

the only input that works is f1

[blazing python]

what input are you referring to? If you are on the screen on the title where they are fusing, you have to press ENTER (or whatever the C - For Confirm key is mapped to)

here is what all the keybinds are equal to.

[bright quest]

when I try and load up the game its just a black screen

[turbid terrace]

[high trout]

i tried every key and even changing it and nothing works

Okay nvm

i reinstalled it and it works again

thanks for the support tho

[solid haven]

How to solve that plz

[spark reef]

Can I still play preloaded if I download using the launcher

[solid haven]

Ig yes

[blazing python]

you need to install the preloaded sprites yourself for this to work

[blazing python]

Yes as long as you install the preloaded sprites

[solid haven]

How to do that?

[blazing python]

Instructions for sprites on in the Pins in this channel

top right of discord

[solid haven]

Ill try

[spark reef]

thanks, also does ticking "install sprite pack" in the launcher do anything

[blazing python]

nope it does not

dev left the checkbox there on accident, it isn't coded in

[lofty cargo]

can someone help

[blazing python]

are you trying to open the preloaded game?

[lofty cargo]

yes

[blazing python]

you need to install the preloaded sprites

the game doesn't do that for you

[lofty cargo]

i did

from download

[blazing python]

those arent it

[lofty cargo]

and copy paste it in graphic folder

[lofty cargo]

what to do please tell

[solid haven]

Thx @blazing python , it worked with that tutorial

[blazing python]

If you look at the instructions from the 1st post in #downloads message it tells you where to go

[solid haven]

Its normal to wait like 10 sec when entering a house?

[blazing python]

performance depends purely on your computer and internet

game-preloaded is the optimized version of the game though, Make sure you turn off Download Sprites from in game options

[solid haven]

Oh

K, thx once again

[lofty cargo]

@blazing python uhm

i did what video said and still not working maybe my brain small or something

sorry for trouble

[blazing python]

Did you use the video for UpdatesSprites.zip or the tool that does this for you?

[lofty cargo]

manually

[solid haven]

I used the megmaxtool

[blazing python]

Is this how you moved the files?

[lofty cargo]

yess

[blazing python]

then after you opened up Game.exe? Not preloaded, but Game.exe

the instructions I posted has more instructions than just move the files over.

[lofty cargo]

this folder contain many things

[blazing python]

you didnt follow the instructions

that isn't the right file

[lofty cargo]

oh my gawd

i am sorry

[blazing python]

i will just link it to you to make it easier -> #tech-support message

[lofty cargo]

i thought it was full version or something

[blazing python]

nothing in #downloads will help you

those are just custom sprites

not preloaded

[sterile pivot]

are we allowed to ask non-pokemon fusion related tech questions

[lofty cargo]

@blazing python thank you for help i think it will work now

and sorry for trouble

[blazing python]

Depends what it is. I usually just keep it to the game tech support

but kinda slow today

[sterile pivot]

something for like bitlocker or whatever

keeps showing me this on my pc whenever i shut it down

[blazing python]

ah nah I can't help you with that

[sterile pivot]

aw ok

[blazing python]

plus recovery keys are shown to you and it is up to you to write them down or store them somewhere

if you lose, you kinda out of luck or have to go through them to get them back and generate new ones

[sterile pivot]

yeah its just annoying that its every time

[ocean plank]

my friend has a problem, he healed his pokemon than the game froze and he couldnt move anymore

he ALT F4 but no save...

[spark reef]

back again lol, getting this error while trying to use the sprite importer

[blazing python]

yeah alt f4 is going to terminate the game and not save

[blazing python]

Is your internet slow/not stable? This error is because it failed to download the custom sprites and when it came time to copy some files over it couldn't find them

You can try rerunning it though in case it was an internet hiccup

[spark reef]

Rerunning hasn't worked so far, and i don't think it was an internet problem, but i could do a bit of troubleshooting with that and ill report back

[blazing python]

it is an internet problem because the code copies over the files it downloaded to a specific path. It couldn't find them meaning they didn't download lol

[stiff hemlock]

Is there still a way to manually add custom sprites through local files?

[blazing python]

yeah -> #tech-support message

[cursive jungle]

can someone tell me why my game wont launch

[turbid terrace]

Hey @cursive jungle! 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.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/308392115338084360/994274889055875142/Capture.PNG

[spark reef]

hm alright

[blazing python]

can you share a screenshot?

[blazing python]

if you have time we can try seeing if there is an error

[cursive jungle]

i click play and it wont launch the game

[blazing python]

the launcher is very buggy and doesn't work for a lot of ppl. We recommend installing using the other installation method

[cursive jungle]

it was just working fine last week

then an update happened now it wont work

[stiff hemlock]

Maybe I'm missing something but this seems like it only uploads sprites from an existing pack(s). I want to add sprites that I made which only exist on my computer.

[blazing python]

yeah that is a common issue with the launcher

[blazing python]

that info would have helped in your original question lol yeah give me a second
In the doc in the section: 4: How do I change a sprite image myself?

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mxcg61k6XoWjkKJdwcMW5Ql6YUsJZ9RpkFffTmWev_Q/edit#heading=h.vqrl5acdraa1

the FAQ has instructions there

[stiff hemlock]

I tried to explain that but I guess it wasn't clear enough. Thanks.

[cursive jungle]

how do i unistall all the stuff then reinstall

[blazing python]

For the launcher it is just deleting the entire folder

For installing, I recommend these instructions -> #tech-support message

[spark reef]

sure

[blazing python]

1. Go to where the sprite importer tool is.
2. Right click megamanSpriteImporter.bat
3. Select more option, select Edit
4. It will open the code in Notepad
5. Scroll to the very bottom, you will see it says exit
6. Replace that with pause.
7. Press CTRL + S. Close it.
8. Rerun the tool. It will keep the black window open now, so we can see what error it says on the black window

[sand fern]

I wanted to play IF on JoiPlay and am also using the JoiPlay emu, it starts up fine but after the intro cutscene it crashes with this error

My guess its asking for the fusion sprite from the Sprite servers and then well... Crashes

[blazing python]

this error occurs because you are not using the version of RPG Maker and JoiPlay we have listed in our guide

(ANDROID) - 6.0.4 guide -> http://tinyurl.com/pifandroid

[spark reef]

edited the code in notepad, got to this, which i assume is what is supposed to happen, and upon continuing, the same error pops back up

[blazing python]

yeah I wanted us to scroll through that black window

to see where the error is

[spark reef]

Ah okay mb, one second

[blazing python]

the change was just so that black window doesn't close on its own, it wasn't a fix to the error

[wet kettle]

Hey, I am getting this error when I try and open the launcher. Any idea why? The pop up shows twice

[blazing python]

it is a bug with the launcher, too many ppl installing. Has up to an hr cooldown

we recommend just installing the game with our other installation method -> #tech-support message

[wet kettle]

is that in the download section?

[blazing python]

if you click the bubble I linked above it takes you to the post with the link to download and instructions

[spark reef]

is this what were looking for

[blazing python]

yup exactly, it is a certificate issue I see

ok I need to make a quick fix for this

[blazing python]

can you change another line

right click the same file and select Edit

[spark reef]

yes

[blazing python]

the 2nd line, replace with:

.\REQUIRED_BY_INSTALLER_UPDATER\7z.exe e -spf -aoa -o"REQUIRED_BY_INSTALLER_UPDATER" "REQUIRED_BY_INSTALLER_UPDATER\MinGit.7z"

so it will look like this

[spark reef]

done

[blazing python]

ok cool rerun now and that should solve the certificate issue

[spark reef]

new errors i think, also is there supposed to be that much empty space in the console

[restive owl]

I'm just wondering if it's normal that my game goes black for +- 10 seconds after each battle/entering a new area (house/gym etc)

[blazing python]

1. The performance of the Game **largely **depend on your pc and internet. Most Laptops are **struggling **because of the 6.x update. Old computers struggle too.
2. If your game is in a OneDrive folder, turn it off. This game lags hard with OneDrive.
3. Best way to reduce lag is downloading sprites yourself. The more sprites you have, the less it needs to connect to the internet to download them.

• The optimized version of the game is "game-preloaded" but this requires you to download **ALL **the sprites from the pinned instructions on the top right of the tech support channel. Click the Shortcut -> #tech-support message

4. If the game is still slow after using game-preloaded, you need to make computer upgrades.
