Should I just install the custom sprites manually with the sprite pack?

[blazing python]

well my files I provided will prove it isnt a game folder issue

[tender osprey]

if i donwload the files u provided what will it do to everything i have downloaded already? like what do i do with it when i download it

do i drop it in like how we used to patch updates or what?

[blazing python]

nothing it is a separate folder

you can have as many folders of the game you want

it doesn't affect each other

i never said to replace any files lol it is just download my files, extract them, it is a new game folder. open the game from this folder

[tender osprey]

okay im just trying to understand is all, so if im just opening the game this way does that mean i cant use the new launcher... or is this just a duplicate of everything i downloaded yesterday

[blazing python]

we do 1 step at a time

im trying to solve the issue first

I can help you put these files in the launcher afterwards IF it fixes your issue

[tender osprey]

i just started a new game and no texture issues (so far) but there might still be some later... im not too pressed about keeping my old save... is it at all possible it was just my old save and it will be fine now or do u think ill still have the issue and should download that folder regardless

[tender osprey]

and ah ok i see

[blazing python]

i kinda think you are over thinking it to be honest lol

[tender osprey]

somnething i tend to do :///

lol

[crimson scaffold]

what do i do to fix this

[blazing python]

yeah just 1 step at a time and we will get more answers from using my files

[chilly cedar]

You need all the sprites to play preloaded

[blazing python]

open game or game-default instead of preloaded

[blazing python]

try it in admin mode. It worked for me right now

[crimson scaffold]

so the sprite pack from november isn't all the sprites

[blazing python]

nope

just custom sprites

[rigid silo]

Taken straight from the FAQ in the pins: ||Fix:

• Open game or game-default instead
• If you want to play game-preloaded, you need to install all of the sprites. This is mentioned in the first post in #downloads
• The guides to do this are mentioned in that post as well. Don’t download the monthly sprites, those aren’t it.
• Use the sprite installer: Sprite Installer||

Sprite Installer, Click this message

[shadow orbit]

i finnaly got the game and it is just two random pokemon fusing and nothing will happend

[blazing python]

press enter

[shadow orbit]

i followed the video

[blazing python]

https://tenor.com/view/click-enter-gif-19678832

[shadow orbit]

Thanks

[rigid silo]

We really need the "press enter to continue" or something

[shadow orbit]

for all the help i really appreiciate

@blazing python @chilly cedar thank you for putting up with it

[chilly cedar]

Haha, no problem. Thanks for being patient as well.

[tender osprey]

dumb question but which of the 3 download links should i go with under that video? i assume they are all the same but just checking cus yea, i really do have an overthinking problem lol

[shadow orbit]

just to make sure this is it right

[blazing python]

google drive one is fine. the mediafire one is the same file as well, just your preference

[chilly cedar]

Yep

[tender osprey]

ok it might take a bit, but once its downloaded i just extract it to wherever (ill probly just throw it on desktop) and run game from there, and if it doesnt do that texture thing with my saved game then we will go from there i assume, ill get back to you thanks for your patience and effort

worst case scenario it seems like as things are before even downloading this, the new game i started seems to be working fine with no texture issues but ive only been in like 2-3 areas lol

[shadow orbit]

so somehow my game is really glitched and the stuff is based off of the rip off

i just have to create a new game but do i need to do something

[chilly cedar]

Like delete your old save file?

[reef drift]

my game ends up like this after i hit start. it was working yesterday

[shadow orbit]

dont know how

[chilly cedar]

FilePath

[blazing python]

there is a shortcut in your game folder named Savefile

double click it and it will take you to it

[blazing python]

Black screen is based on your computers performance. But it is normal, especially if you loaded in sprites.

[reef drift]

ok it's back up now. i ran the updater

[sterile pivot]

can someone help me please ive never installed pokemon infinite b4 n idk what im doing

[chilly cedar]

[Install Guides, Click This Message](#tech-support message)

[fickle mango]

any of yall know what graphics cards support opengl 2.0?

No but google probably has a list.

[fickle mango]

okay thanks

[sterile pivot]

thank you

[blazing python]

From Google

[grim storm]

i am getting stuck on this screen. it wont do anything after. i got a new computer downloaded from the link at the top and launching the game from the game, game-default or game-preloaded ends with me at that screen. when i go to close the application it says that it was stuck and was forced to quit. i tried to update the game and im still getting the same issue i have no clue if its an error on my end with where i put the folder or something else.

[blazing python]

if you press enter does it just start over?

[grim storm]

no it doesnt do anything

[chilly cedar]

also is this your first time starting the game?

[grim storm]

on this computer yes

[chilly cedar]

Then it's probably indexing the sprites. let it run.

[visual vale]

This has been stuck on this screen for 10+ min

Is that normal?

[blazing python]

if you didnt have permissions before, that path you selected won't have any permissions lol

if the black window is still open it means it is working, but because of the permissions on your computer it is better to do the manual install of sprites instead

(PRELOADED) - Installing the Preloaded Sprites manually -> [Manual Guide](#tech-support message)

[visual vale]

Alright

[fickle mango]

does playing infinitem fusion require opengl 2.0?

[blazing python]

At minimum yes

Or else you get this error

[sterile pivot]

how do i make it so my game dosent have long loading time in between fights and houses i tried the preloaded

[blazing python]

Preloaded is the most optimized version of the game. If that doesn’t help, you have to look to make computer upgrades

Performance Tips:
1) PC and Internet: The game performance largely depends on your PC and internet; laptops and older computers are struggling with the 6.x update.

2) Avoid OneDrive: If your game is in a OneDrive folder, turn it off, as the game lags with OneDrive.

3) Download Sprites: Use the Sprite Installer to download sprites; having more sprites reduces the need for internet connections and writing files to your computer.

4) Optimized Version: Use the optimized version "game-preloaded" and download all sprites using the Sprite Installer, not the monthly sprites.

Additional Advice:
**Slow Game After Optimization: **If the game is still slow after using game-preloaded, consider making computer upgrades.

[reef drift]

i caught a raichu and it's been about a minute to just load all it's sprites

[rancid falcon]

I have an error when I tried to open the game for the first time can someone help explain what it means to me?

[chilly cedar]

Most definitely, can I see a screenshot of the error?

[chilly cedar]

Thats preloaded, you need all the sprites to use that exe

Use Game instead

[rancid falcon]

Is that a toggle I need to press in the launcher?

[chilly cedar]

I believe so yes. There should be an option to tick preloaded on/off

[rancid falcon]

It is but the box doesn’t actually change so I assumed it was buggged still since the video that I was watching said it was bugged then

[chilly cedar]

Well we can fix that anyway by just installing all the sprites then most likely 🙂

[rancid falcon]

Heard that would increase performance so I’m fine with that! What’s the fastest way to download them? Through the launcher or by inserting them into the graphics folder?

[chilly cedar]

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

[chilly cedar]

The launcher only downloads the custom sprites, use that tool to get all of them 🙂

[rancid falcon]

Bet, thanks!

[sterile pivot]

Hi,

[chilly cedar]

Hello there 🙂

[sterile pivot]

Hi im having issues with my game. When i start the game my whole Map is a black void and i cant find a way to fix it. Im playing on mac os catalina version 10.15.7, which is the latest version on my mac, because its a bit older. can u help me to fix the problem?

[shadow orbit]

im back agian

[chilly cedar]

Actually I cannot. Earlier yesterday we had someone with the same problem as you and we concluded that it was because of either your mac os or your mac model.

Either way, you are in the same boat as people using windows 8 or lower. You cannot play the game. I am sorry.

[sterile pivot]

Man thats unlucky. Thank you

[chilly cedar]

Oh thats easy. Just let the game start up, don't mess with the game window or anything.

Basically just let it boot up and leave it alone.

[shadow orbit]

ok thx

[chilly cedar]

np

[shadow orbit]

and it did the trainer thing agian

[chilly cedar]

Trainer thing? Are you playing on modern and randomizing?

[shadow orbit]

modern then in the game i changed it to randomized

[chilly cedar]

Known bug. Don't do that.

Unrandomize the trainers to fix it.

[shadow orbit]

ok

thx bye

[chilly cedar]

yw, don't let me see you again :p

[click this message](#tech-support message)

[rancid falcon]

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, I am newer to all this, but for some reason it won't open the megaman installer when I click on it, do I need to have a certain installation system installed? I have wine.

[blazing python]

The Sprite installer is windows only right now

[rancid falcon]

Oh ok, is there a different mac version or do I just need to run it in game mode only?

[west flax]

hey yall i just downloaded the game from https://pokemoninfinitefusion.net/pokemon-infinite-fusion-download/ but when launching the game it tells me there is no official website so now i'm worried that i just downloaded malware. has anyone else downloaded from this site/is it okay?

[blazing python]

Yeah this is a fake website

[chilly cedar]

Yup it's exactly what you think it is.

[west flax]

damn it was the first thing that came up when i googled it

[blazing python]

Yeah this game has no website at all

[chilly cedar]

[Click this message](#tech-support message)

[blazing python]

If you want to play preloaded on Mac, you should use the Lightweight installer guide. That contains the full game and sprites for Mac. The launcher guide is just the game with no sprites. [Click this message](#tech-support message)

Also the toggle on Mac for preloaded is broken visually, but you can still check/uncheck it

[verbal bay]

idk if its somethign with my game or if its a general bug, but whenever im walking through grass or surfing the game kinda lags a bit, like instead of running at a smooth pace when i take a step in grass it freezes for less then a second every step

[brave mulch]

Cant change pokemon rando setting from global to area? I keep changing it but its not actually turning on area randomization.

[chilly cedar]

Have you reset the areas afterwards?

[chilly cedar]

Could be your pc, but where did you get your install from?

[brave mulch]

If you mean the reshuffle wild pokemon thing then yes

[verbal bay]

can i send a link or will it get flagged?

[chilly cedar]

Did you get it from a website?

[verbal bay]

its from a github

[chilly cedar]

Sure lets see it

[verbal bay]

https://github.com/DrapNard/InfiniteFusion-Launcher/releases

Yeah thats a real install

So its probably your pc

What are the chances their windows version

[woven hedge]

All the textures seem to game a problem with JoiPlay 😂

Anyone have any ideas?

[blazing python]

You need to optimize your maps

[woven hedge]

Huh?

[blazing python]

Our Android guide states this

[chilly cedar]

[surreal mason]

Resetting my computer seemed to work, but now im getting this message:

[blazing python]

You need to add the whole launcher folder to windows defender

[surreal mason]

ah.

You also can install without the launcher as an option as well

Man really is a redstoneguru

Go to game help

And scroll up

Oh I see but it is still using joiplay

[raven meadow]

Yeah.

I explained the issues with it.

Is that a ds? no. the curvature around the screen...hm

[raven meadow]

Not a ds

I own one. 2 screens

Theyre also always square

[chilly cedar]

Interesting.

[blazing python]

That is pretty cool

[raven meadow]

That's what I said

Looks like something from wish

[chilly cedar]

Well, seeing how you got it this far...You might be able to follow that guide and fix the maps.

[woven hedge]

Yeah this device seems to hate the map optimizing

[chilly cedar]

Ah

[raven meadow]

Since you got debug, you can help with my texture log

[blazing python]

Yeah some devices it crashes like 10 times before optimizing works

[raven meadow]

Post them here https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1173685530484031518

[chilly cedar]

Not how that works. This is a...device issue.

[raven meadow]

No. For you

Since you have debug, you can comb the map for bad textures

Help fix the textures

[chilly cedar]

I'm too busy for all that jazz, They have enough people on the job. I try to handle smaller bug reports or ones that are interesting.

[raven meadow]

Post it as you find it.

I don't touch the game ever. But sometimes I find it while finding something for someone

[woven hedge]

Oh ok

[surreal mason]

I cant seem to get past this screen. Tips?

[blazing python]

This is because you are disconnecting from either your internet or firewall blocking your connection to our repo. Add the WHOLE InfiniteFusion folder to your windows defender: Add Folder to Windows Defender

[woven hedge]

I’ve been trying for 8 minutes straight to optimize the maps

[blazing python]

Yeah unfortunately if it doesn’t work, we don’t have any other workarounds for that issue. That is a JoiPlay issue

[woven hedge]

Is there any other way to play it on mobile?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @woven 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 and glitchy.

The pinned message in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/308392115338084360 has the updated Android Guide. If you need a shortcut use this -> #tech-support message

Nothing can likely be done about issues experienced on mobile, unfortunately, but you must use the plugin versions listed in the guide or else it won't work at all.

No dedicated mobile version of IF will be developed in the future.

[blazing python]

Nope just through JoiPlay

[woven hedge]

That sucks.

[drifting flume]

What when wrong

[blazing python]

This is an Android only error and this game is not developed for Android. We haven’t found a workaround for it

[woven hedge]

Fat baby photos of the protagonist took up all your ram

😂

Nah jk

[blazing python]

Only been happening on some devices due to not being able to print a message on the screen

[woven hedge]

One message? Seriously?

[chilly cedar]

Is there a way to force it to write to an error log?

[blazing python]

It already does that but prints that error message you see on screen to a text file

[woven hedge]

Probably not. That would probably have to be a mod of JoiPlay

[chilly cedar]

Ah okay

[woven hedge]

He means instead of crashing it writes it to a folder or something

Idk

Nvm

[chilly cedar]

No it does that as he said. It's just that some phones cant handle it lol

[woven hedge]

lol

IF I COULD JUST OPTIMIZE THE F****** MAPS

Mine could probably handle it

Yeah it’s not going to happen. Been trying for 16 minutes

[blazing python]

You can try this out. They optimized maps on PC then sent it back to their device: Info

[woven hedge]

Ok I’ll try it later if restarting my device doesn’t work.

[blazing python]

But I just googled it. You can probably search it more also

[woven hedge]

If someone is charging for map fixes they are barking up the wrong tree

[blazing python]

It is free

[woven hedge]

Yeah I’m not doing that

I give up

I’d have to transfer all my files using google drive

Hell nah

[ashen shadow]

so i uninstalled the game and tried reinstalling it and this is what happens every time, i tried looking for excess files that may have been left over but couldnt find anything, unless im looking in the wrong spot

Also this is what my Infinite Fusion folder looks like after install error

[ancient valley]

sup guys, new here. Having a bit of trouble getting the preloaded game to work. I don't have the game dowloaded to my one drive whatsoever, so Im kinda stuck.

[chilly cedar]

You had a disconnect, this is caused by your internet or your antivirus.

you can try to add the whole folder to an exclusion

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/add-an-exclusion-to-windows-security-811816c0-4dfd-af4a-47e4-c301afe13b26

Are you having an error code when starting it?

[ashen shadow]

Ty, ill give that a shot i suppose

[ancient valley]

yes

[chilly cedar]

lmk if it doesn't change anything. Send me a screenshot after you do that and run the install file again

[chilly cedar]

Send a screenshot of it

[ancient valley]

yep give me a sec sorry

[chilly cedar]

This is caused by not having all the sprites, Use Game or Game Default instead.

[ancient valley]

the load times are extremely long, is there a dowload link to where I can download the sprites

[chilly cedar]

Yes

[blazing python]

You can use the Sprite installer

awesome, thx man

[raw charm]

Guys I’m having the same issue

[chilly cedar]

Which is?

[raw charm]

But I redownloaded the game and I used the sprite installer

[tender osprey]

finally got around to this: and while the new launcher still works this is what happened when i tried to run this extra download of the game https://i.gyazo.com/ded4c80cd381aaa95e2a26dd747ff1c1.png

[chilly cedar]

Then something went wrong.

[raw charm]

What else can I do?!?

[blazing python]

They also might have more than 1 game folder

[blazing python]

Did the tool say it finished?

[raw charm]

Yup

[chilly cedar]

Also possible.

[blazing python]

Did you leave the game open when it finished?

And it said 114k sprites were imported?

[raw charm]

The game was loading but it was taking extremely long

So closed it

[blazing python]

What files are these? It is missing a bunch of files

[blazing python]

That that is why

[raw charm]

But the tool said that the sprites were all downloaded

[chilly cedar]

It looks like your missing files. It should look like this (ignore the red circle)

[blazing python]

You weren’t supposed to close it

[raw charm]

Oh…

[raw charm]

Do I redowload the sprites

[blazing python]

The instructions clearly say leave the game open too

Try opening game.exe again and wait until everything finishes

[raw charm]

We’re on the installer or the game game

[chilly cedar]

The game

[raw charm]

I have 2

Game and game-default

[blazing python]

The one with the logo

Game

[chilly cedar]

@raw charm

[blazing python]

Yeah the one named Game

lol

[raw charm]

Okok I got it

[tender osprey]

this is what i got from downloading it from mediafire

[raw charm]

Ok I’m letting it open, what do I do once it loads

[blazing python]

Then you didn’t download completely or extraction failed

[chilly cedar]

You hit enter at the title screen and say yes to indexing the sprites.

[raw charm]

Ok!

[blazing python]

It won’t ask him the replace sprites question when indexing if you use the Sprite installer

[raw charm]

So what do I do..? I just click enter

[chilly cedar]

Ah

[blazing python]

Yeah once you get to the game you are done

[raw charm]

Okay ur just worked

Should I try the preloaded now?

[blazing python]

Yes

[raw charm]

Hold on

It’s stuck in Thai screen

[chilly cedar]

Let it load

[raw charm]

Does that matter or do I just close it

[blazing python]

Be patient. If you press enter wait for it to load

[raw charm]

Okay it loaded

[ashen shadow]

Unfortunately still error'd after adding it to exclusion

[ashen shadow]

@chilly cedar ^

[raw charm]

@blazing python So should the preloaded work

[blazing python]

Since you can’t get around your security, use the info here to download the game: Prepackaged Tech-Support Game Files: [More Info](#tech-support message)

[blazing python]

Yes

[chilly cedar]

beat me to it

[raw charm]

Does it matter that it’s repairing?

[blazing python]

Repairing?

Can you share a screenshot?

[blazing python]

How did that happen?

That would only happen if you hit the repair button?

[raw charm]

I opened it, clicked on “use the preloaded version”

And then started updating

[chilly cedar]

Why didn't you just use the preloaded exe in this folder of yours?

[blazing python]

Looks like he is wanting to use the launcher

[raw charm]

Yea

[ancient valley]

Ok says it's installing. The bar hasn't even moved yet on my screen after several minutes is that normal?

[blazing python]

But that is weird not sure why the launcher did that

[raw charm]

I thought it was recommended that it’s launched thru the launcher

[blazing python]

The black window that opened gives you more info

[severe tusk]

can someone tell me which link to use to install

[blazing python]

Nope, you can open however you want. Launcher adds extra steps

The repairing you mean?

[blazing python]

Yeah I’m not sure what it is doing to be honest

[ancient valley]

ok started up the preloaded game. still hasn't loaded yet, is it normal to take a long time?

[chilly cedar]

yes

[ancient valley]

how long does preloaded normally take to load?

[blazing python]

30 seconds-2min depending on your computer

[ancient valley]

yeah it might take a little longer for me im on my laptop

Did you leave the game open when the installer opened it?

[ancient valley]

no

[blazing python]

….

Why is everyone closing their game

The instructions say to leave it open lol

Reopen game preloaded a second time and it should go away

[ancient valley]

ok so reinstall the package with the game open and it should work?

[chilly cedar]

Gonna have to make it in bold print and on every other line :p

[blazing python]

Just reopen game-preloaded

[ancient valley]

yep just reopened it

awesome, looks to be working perfectly. Thanks a lot for your help man

[main pivot]

Hey my brew doesn't seem to be loaded after I've closed out my terminal? I've followed the video and ran the command after installing brew but for some reasons I can't run any brew commands after I reopen my terminal

[blazing python]

I’m guessing you using the Mac launcher video?

[main pivot]

I am

The video you posted yesterday actually lol

[blazing python]

I didn’t make a launcher video yday ?

[main pivot]

Oh it's not the launcher video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2UVsHIwqwk

[blazing python]

Yeah that isn’t a launcher. But you entered in the 3 commands in the terminal for home brew?

[main pivot]

Yes

[blazing python]

And you restarted the terminal?

[main pivot]

I did

[blazing python]

So right now your terminal says it can’t find brew?

[heavy trench]

Hey! I keep trying to open my game, but I get this error? Can someone help me?

[main pivot]

Brew doesn't seem to exist

[blazing python]

In your game folder there is a file named SaveFile. Double click it and it will take you to your save folder. The game doesn’t like the files in this folder so you can delete them

[heavy trench]

Alright, I'll go do that and see what happens. Thank you!

[blazing python]

Can you try this:

echo "export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.zshrc

Then after this:

source ~/.zshrc

[main pivot]

So echo "export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.zshrc

Then source ~/.zshrc

[blazing python]

Yes

[main pivot]

After I've gone through the steps in installing Brew or on a fresh terminal?

[blazing python]

Oh did you not install homebrew yet?

[main pivot]

I have but when i reopen my terminal it's gone

[blazing python]

I don’t understand but I see you typed in the commands already

So try the command again to use like brew help

[main pivot]

Weird it seems to be working now but I'm getting this error when i run the command brew install --cask --no-quarantine gcenx/wine/wineskin

Error: Download failed on Cask 'gstreamer-runtime' with message: Download failed: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/osx/1.22.8/gstreamer-1.0-1.22.8-universal.pkg

Any idea why I can't install Wineskins?

[blazing python]

This is step 7 now?

[main pivot]

Yes

[blazing python]

Hm says can’t connect to the server

I see someone else on the video got the same. Wonder if the repo is down for them or maybe a connection issue

[main pivot]

Anyway I can continue without Wineskin?

Or Im I stuck

[blazing python]

WineSkin is preferred. You can do it with just Wine as well though but requires you to accept a bunch of security stuff on your Mac

[main pivot]

Is there a guide I can follow to play on Wine alone?

[blazing python]

Very old guide but I’m going to hop on my Mac to see if it works for me

[main pivot]

Appreciate you

[blazing python]

I uninstalled WineSkin and it reinstalled just fine for me but I also don’t get those dependency installations you have

[main pivot]

Anyway I can uninstall these dependencies

I have no idea what they are either

[blazing python]

Well they are required for WineSkin to work

Just not sure why you can’t connect to their servers unless you need to restart your computer or Internet

[main pivot]

Let me reboot 1 more time

Still getting the connection error, no way it's my interest connection

If i were to go through the launcher, would I experience similar issues?

[blazing python]

Yeah cause it uses WineSkin

But you can use Wine instead. If you go to applications you should see Wine Stable right?

[main pivot]

Yes

I have it open now

[blazing python]

what does it say for using Wine?

In order to start a program:
.exe: wine64 program.exe

[dense niche]

sorry if you fix this before ( I think someone else had this exact problem) but this appeared after waiting for one hour

[blazing python]

can you try it again? It says you cancelled it

you have to leave the Black Window open

[dense niche]

It close automatically after the error appeared

[blazing python]

you should be able to right click Game.exe and open with Wine Stable

you will get these errors

keep clicking cancel and it will open after you click cancel on like the 3rd one

[main pivot]

Yes

I allowed them

Perf it worked

thanks

[blazing python]

if you go to your Graphics folder, do you see a file named errorlog.txt?

[blazing python]

In case you need, this is where your save file is stored:
/Users/YOURNAME/.wine/drive_c/users/YOURNAME/AppData/Roaming/infinitefusion

[dense niche]

Yes

[main pivot]

Thanks man

[blazing python]

Yeah that loooks good. So the black window opened and then closed because it finished part 1. A second black window is supposed to open and start the next part

can you try it again? it says you cancelled so maybe don't touch anything

[fervent forum]

I get this whenever I use a fancy meal, but i seem to be able to continue playing after hitting ok

[dense niche]

It gave me two options - One continue - and cancel to close app. I clicked continue and the megaman window is still open and "loading"

[blazing python]

yes this is a known bug. Reported months ago but no fix for it

[blazing python]

can you show a screenshot? I don't know where you are seeing this

[dense niche]

Here when it says Usuario = User canceled the operation - I didnt do it (perhaps my pc)
After that message I clicked on continue ( because it says it would omit that error)

Btw megaman app is still open and "grabbing custom sprites" - Should I wait?

ALSO I'm installing it on D not C

[main pivot]

Hey @blazing python sorry to bother you again but do you have any idea how to get randomizers working?

I was really hopping to do a randomizer run through

[blazing python]

Create a save file in pallet. Go back to the title screen and create a new game and randomizer options will appear

[main pivot]

Ahhh ok

[blazing python]

Yeah this is the screenshot you sent earlier. So to try again close this and close the tool completely and reopen

[dense niche]

Is this something important or nah

[blazing python]

This is just a warning that because you installing on D, you might have permission issues and will install slower.

You can click Yes

[dense niche]

ok its restarting I'll let you know

[languid blaze]

How do i update my game from 6.0.2 to 6.0.5 in android.....ping me

[turbid terrace]

Hey @languid blaze! 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 and glitchy.

The pinned message in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/308392115338084360 has the updated Android Guide. If you need a shortcut use this -> #tech-support message

Nothing can likely be done about issues experienced on mobile, unfortunately, but you must use the plugin versions listed in the guide or else it won't work at all.

No dedicated mobile version of IF will be developed in the future.

[blazing python]

On Android you can only do this by downloading 6.0.5. And in joiplay add the game from the new game folder. You’d have to move your save file from old folder to new folder also

The files are here: http://tinyurl.com/pifandroid

[languid blaze]

Are the saved file saved in user data file

Bruh?

[blazing python]

?

[languid blaze]

I mean there is a user date file when u go to the game folder

So are they saved there

Or somewhere else

[blazing python]

No it is where game.exe. Named File A.rxdata for example. The document I sent above has info on this

[languid blaze]

Ok bruh tysm 🔥

Ill look into it and if still have some doubts ill ping ya

@blazing python Tysm dude it helped 🤧

[blazing python]

Glad it worked!

[pliant pond]

well this is new

[blazing python]

Yeah I’ve never seen this

Are you using KIF?

[pliant pond]

kuray?

[blazing python]

Yeah

[pliant pond]

it pops up like this with normal

hold on

[blazing python]

Yeah cause we don’t troubleshoot Kuray or modified files/mods. If you using your game folder for KIF you’d have to bring it up in their discord

[pliant pond]

no its only kuray. i guess this is a kuray only problem?

[blazing python]

Yeah I’ve never seen this with the regular game

[pliant pond]

welp

ima figure something out

at this point im more of a graphics tech than i am an artist

[blazing python]

Yeah if you need more help, the kuray discord can help

[hidden frigate]

Hey @dense niche! 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.

Just make sure when it completes, it will open the game. Leave the game open

i did a little looking and my outdoor tilesets seem to be broken when i click on the png they show up for a split second then disappear is that normal or could it be causing the problem?

[wet jasper]

I keep having this issue when i am trying to start the game for the first time can anybody help me
'

[blazing python]

In your game folder there is a file named SaveFile. Double click it and it will take you to your save folder. The game doesn’t like the files in this folder so you can delete them

[wet jasper]

all the files?

in the save file?

those are the ones that are in it

[wet jasper]

^

[blazing python]

Yes

[wet jasper]

Thank you very, but now the randomization function doesnt appear when i open up a new game.

NVM

my bad i am blind apologisies

[dense niche]

It did Now I'm waiting (according to the guide) for MY computer not to be so bad

[blazing python]

But at least it is still going forward

[dense niche]

It opened - And it loaded all the sprites

Now I only have to open the game with pre load and wait again right? (Ill do it tomorrow I have to sleep)

Thank you very much for the help 🙏🏻

[blazing python]

Yes preloaded will always have like a 30 second - 3 min late depending on your computer to open, but it will be faster in game

[velvet sundial]

Sorry to bother, but I was following the video tutorial from 1/14 for mac install and was on the last step but the download failed
Exact message below

Error: Download failed on Cask 'gstreamer-runtime' with message: Download failed: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/osx/1.22.8/gstreamer-1.0-1.22.8-universal.pkg

[blazing python]

This error is because you can’t connect to their server for the installation to work. Not sure if the server is down or Internet issue

If you want to play with just Wine and not WineSkin, you can do this instead [Example](#tech-support message)

[brazen coral]

I'm on mobile and whenever I download the sprite pack all the sprites appear in my gallery, how do I fix this?

[blazing python]

There is no fix. That is how Android is and lets you see images from your gallery

This is explained in our guide that this is just how Android handles images

[brazen coral]

Gotta love how trashy phones are sometimes

[blazing python]

Yeah 😅 it sucks too cause if you delete the images, they also get deleted from your game so it can break the game if you do

[undone jay]

Just wanted to say it feels so good to see an install guide video for Mac for a fangame that's new/updated I'm gonna try installing infinite fusion tomorrow and hopefully it works. Have there been any reported issues?

[blazing python]

WineSkin server seems to be down (not something with our game), but I have a workaround in case it isnt back up tomorrow

It works for me but 3 people reported server connection errors to it

[undone jay]

Oh ok, thanks for letting me know

[wet jasper]

What does it mean when it says to randimize " GLOBAL" OR "AREA" the decription doesnt make sesne to me

[velvet sundial]

This failed to work, Wine Stable simply does not pop up and crashes after a long period

[trim fox]

If Pidgeys are on both route 1 and 3, in global they would be replaced with the same random mon. In Area, each route would get a different random mon

[wet jasper]

ooo so or true randomization u would pick area, cool thank you 🙂

[hollow walrus]

my mac version confuses me, im trying to download it but im worried i cant get the updates like the dynamic version in #downloads

since im follwoing the video and using its links, would i be unable to get the dynamic version?

[trim fox]

Updating isn't really tied to dynamic vs preloaded, its more related to the installer. Unfortunately for mac you would have to rely on that video download being updated, which megaman is pretty good at

[hollow walrus]

okie doke

ty

[rigid silo]

If there is ever a big update and you are unable to update by yourself with the video, let us know and we'll set you up with the updated files.

[hollow walrus]

ty!!

[bitter cosmos]

ill try

nope same issue

[chilly cedar]

Good news on that end, something I've discovered regarding that.

I no longer see them in my gallery and I still have all of them downloaded.

The only thing I did was tell OneDrive/Google Photos not to back any of it up. The longest part was really waiting for OneDrive/GoogleDrive(tied to Google Photos app on Android) to register every single folder and every single png.

After it did, I just went into the settings, it had a list of all of it and asked if I wanted to back up these new photos, said no and I don't see them now in my gallery.

So the first few days or so could be rough waiting for it all to be registered lol but afterwards once it's declined for back up it's smooth.

[idle trout]

what's this

did i forget smth 💀

nvm i got it

i call myself the techie now

oh no

game still opened

[rigid silo]

You are trying to play preloaded without properly installing preloaded

[idle trout]

yea

[chilly cedar]

This is caused by trying to play preloaded without all the sprites, Use Game or Game Default instead

[chrome surge]

How to decrease loading time

[chilly cedar]

Performance Tips:
1) PC and Internet: The game performance largely depends on your PC and internet; laptops and older computers are struggling with the 6.x update.

2) Avoid OneDrive: If your game is in a OneDrive folder, turn it off, as the game lags with OneDrive.

3) Download Sprites: Use the Sprite Installer to download sprites; having more sprites reduces the need for internet connections and writing files to your computer.

4) Optimized Version: Use the optimized version "game-preloaded" and download all sprites using the Sprite Installer, not the monthly sprites.

Additional Advice:
**Slow Game After Optimization: **If the game is still slow after using game-preloaded, consider making computer upgrades.

[chrome surge]

Thanks

[glacial coral]

hello, i recently downloaded the game yesterday, tried opening it this morning, but whenever the title screen opens, it says there is a script error and the game closes

[chilly cedar]

Need a screenshot

[rich quartz]

Is there a way you can speed up while surfing without pressing Q?

[chilly cedar]

No. Q is the speed up button

Set the game speed and just surf shrug

[chilly cedar]

This is because you don't have all the sprites.

Use game or game default instead

[glacial coral]

how do i do that

[chilly cedar]

What are you using? The launcher?

[glacial coral]

i just downloaded the files from the discord

[chilly cedar]

Then inside the folder is a application just called game.

Use that instead of preloaded

[glacial coral]

i dont have that

if i redownload the files will i keep my save data?

[lyric wedge]

yes

[chilly cedar]

Send a screenshot of the inside of your folder

[glacial coral]

ok ill just do that

[lyric wedge]

save data is on another folder

[chilly cedar]

No not yet

[chilly cedar]

That's really weird, are you sure you downloaded the game from this discord?

[glacial coral]

yeah

[lyric wedge]

i miss seeing the install or update :S

[glacial coral]

i tried dragging them to my homescreen tho i think they got recycled

[chilly cedar]

That's why.

You don't do that

[glacial coral]

my bad

[chilly cedar]

You make a shortcut

[glacial coral]

how do i fix this, can i just redownload the files

[chilly cedar]

If they aren't on your desktop check your recycle bin

[glacial coral]

theres Game-default

is that it?

[chilly cedar]

Honestly, I'd just delete the folder and reinstall

Your save is fine.

[glacial coral]

will my save data stay?

ok

[chilly cedar]

Next time, just right click it and pin it to your toolbar.

Or make a shortcut

[glacial coral]

which file do i toolbar?

game-default?

or game

[amber anvil]

not sure where to post this but my game has a weird bug

Hi there, can anyone help with this I've been getting it a lot even tried reinstalling the game and hasn't worked. its whenever I've walk into a new route or town through a door everything is black if i enter a battle or encounter a pokemon it fixes but i cant always do that. I've tried the debugger on a pervious save file that didn't work either. Thanks

[blazing python]

What version of windows are you on?

[blazing python]

Game is fine

Hi, I've done the Install_OR_Update thing but the game files haven't come up?

I'm not sure what I've done wrong. I extracted before doing the Install_OR_Update as well, same thing happened.

I've retried about 2-3 times.

[blazing python]

That means you got an error on the black window. You can screenshot it and send it here

I'll send him a screenshot

Thank you for your help 🙏

You can also play regular Game.exe with download sprites turned on. Preloaded is only needed if you have performance issues or without internet.

[bleak prairie]

Ah gotcha

I'll let him know

[gentle thicket]

Anyone have any advice? I had the original file downloaded but I was having the black screen of death issue, (loading for 5 minutes at a time). After that I moved on to the pre loaded version and it still seems to be a common theme along with this.

Hiii, I downloaded the launcher from discord just now and the game froze after getting to this screen with this error message

I was gonna do the fan one for platinum from the ORAS but that was too much faff with switch emulation and everything else

[dusky gate]

so i started playing like 2 hours ago with the icon "game" and in the first forest and gym when you go in it does that (need to finish a battle to make map appear) also i restarted my computer and the "game" icon disappeared)

[rigid silo]

Since it got deleted anyway, I am going to recommend that you do a fresh reinstall the game using our guide.
[LINK TO ALL GUIDES](#tech-support message)

[dusky gate]

i got the alternative launcher though it works fine and i have all my data on it just same bug but i wasn't far in the game so a reinstall isn't a problem

[blazing python]

What version of windows are you on?

[dusky gate]

uhhhhhh

idk

normally windows 11

nope

im on windows 10

[blazing python]

Ok just making sure, this game doesn't support 8 or lower and they get this same issue. This is due to your computer not being able to load the game properly

[dusky gate]

so i can't fix the issue ?

[blazing python]

Are you on version 6.0.5 of the game?

When you open the game, it will say this on the title screen

[dusky gate]

yup 6.0.5

[blazing python]

I would recommend testing this with our game files here and see if the issue still happens. These files 100% work so it would prove whether this is an issue with your game files or a bug in the game:
Prepackaged Tech-Support Game Files: [More Info](#tech-support message)

[dusky gate]

ok thx

[dull heron]

So my game stays on a black screen, and gives me this message when I try to interact with it, I’ve hit fix game and I have the sprites downloaded. What do I do?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @dull heron! 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

[rigid silo]

Do not interact with it, just wait patiently

[dull heron]

Ok thank you

[dusky gate]

oh relaunching the game fixed the issue

[blazing python]

yeah so then just an issue with your computer lagging

[dusky gate]

yeah maybe plugging an ethernet cable and reloading my pc would help with lag

[blazing python]

the files I provided come with all the sprites also so it would help with performance anyways

[unborn kernel]

my bad if this has already been answered, but the download has basically just stopped randomly multiple times and then does this, should i just keep trying to download it?

[rigid silo]

Personally, I would recommend to use the lightweight installer over the launcher.
[link to all guides](#tech-support message)

[blazing python]

launcher has been buggy for a lot of people. The guides above will help you install without the launcher or you can close the launcher completely and try again.

[lost vine]

I just downloaded the launcher and it's saying I need to have ".NET Desktop Runtime" to run the game do I get it or no?

[lost vine]

I downloaded from the links on the discord

[blazing python]

yes it is required for the launcher to work

[lost vine]

Okay thanks will do

[cerulean garnet]

Hi, is there a fix for this?

[rigid silo]

You are trying to play preloaded without installing preloaded.

Please either start game.exe or follow the guide to install preloaded properly. [link](#tech-support message)

[cerulean garnet]

I just followed it and it gave me the same result. I can't play the regular game because its to slow

[rigid silo]

Did you get any error messages when using Megamans tool?

[cerulean garnet]

Nothing popped up for megaman

[rigid silo]

you've seen this screen?

You're clearly missing base sprites, which only get installed by this tool (or the repack), not the monthly sprite packs

[blazing python]

The only reason the installer doesn’t open is if you don’t extract the whole installer zip

[valid gale]

Hi anyone know how to fix this?

[blazing python]

It says you disconnect either because of your Internet or anti virus blocking the connection

Some ppl restarted their internet and it worked for them after. Others added their folder to windows defender to pass their anti virus

[unkempt heron]

Hello there ! I need the 5.3.1 version, does anyone know where i can find it ? pls

[blazing python]

You want an older version?

[unkempt heron]

yes

[blazing python]

The mobile link in downloads contains an older version: #downloads message

[unkempt heron]

thanks

does it wark on windows ?

[blazing python]

It should but I don’t test on older versions

Support for them goes away as we get further ahead

[unkempt heron]

logical

thank you for your help !

[cinder scaffold]

Hi there, i just followed the android google docs to the t right to the exact versions but using the preloaded, and yet i get compile error after switching the mkxp-z its fixed but this happened

[turbid terrace]

Hey @cinder scaffold! 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 and glitchy.

The pinned message in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/308392115338084360 has the updated Android Guide. If you need a shortcut use this -> #tech-support message

Nothing can likely be done about issues experienced on mobile, unfortunately, but you must use the plugin versions listed in the guide or else it won't work at all.

No dedicated mobile version of IF will be developed in the future.

[blazing python]

did you try Game.exe instead? Your device might be having a hard time handling loading of the game tiles

[uneven stirrup]

will the bl4ck screen eventually go away on its own or do i have to click?

[blazing python]

Black screen is normal and takes longer on older computers/computers with slow internet. The screenshot above is an issue, but it is still due to your device's performance

[cinder scaffold]

Yeah i can hear the black screem intro playing then title screen music but i can't do anything

[uneven stirrup]

i’ve been waiting for an hour and a half 😭

[cinder scaffold]

I wonder is this below requirement? Its an tab s6

[blazing python]

on android or pc?

[uneven stirrup]

pc

i’m in mac though

on

[blazing python]

did you use our guide to install the game?

[blazing python]

this game is not developed for Android at all so we don't carry minimum requirements for android nor troubleshoot JoiPlay issues

[uneven stirrup]

i used your guide on ur channel but i think its just my mac being like really slow

[trim fox]

I've played it on a tab s7+ and it worked just fine

[blazing python]

Is it the one with the 2gb file? or the launcher video? I have 2 videos for mac

[cinder scaffold]

Share me your setup pls

[uneven stirrup]

yes

[trim fox]

I just followed the android guide http://tinyurl.com/pifandroid

[blazing python]

yeah that has all of the game files provided to you so for sure a device issue

[uneven stirrup]

it’s like at the part where i have to wait for the sprites to download

like the bl4ck screen

[blazing python]

yeah preloaded always has long black screen before the intro video

[uneven stirrup]

ohh okay thank you for your assistance

[blazing python]

maybe try again and uninstall joiplay and rpg maker to make sure you are on a clean slate

[gentle thicket]

Im sorry can someone help me find the link to properly install on windows from discord. New to discord so I struggle finding these things.

[blazing python]

Windows:

• **Written Guide: ** [Guide](#tech-support message)

[gentle thicket]

Thank you friend

[cinder scaffold]

The thing is in my case the intro itself is just black and audio only, then the black title screen, also just tried the game.exe same results am i suppose to wait? Also i put the game folder on my sdcard dunno if that affecting things.

[blazing python]

yeah I understand your issue. Your issue is with the plugins + your device, not the game files

that is why I was recommending uninstalling JoiPlay and RPG Maker to see if that helps

Because your game is getting to the title screen and you hear music but nothing is loading. So that means the game files are good, but your device is not able to load them. JoiPlay and RPG Maker are responsible for making them load

[gentle thicket]

If my game is running slow I need to install the preloaded sprite version only?

[blazing python]

installing the sprites in general will help your performance. If it is still slow after installing the sprites, yes you should switch to using the preloaded version

[cinder scaffold]

Also i tried to optimize map here's what happen

[blazing python]

We don't have patches so not sure why it throws that error for you. Very weird because we have people optimize maps and it never asks for this either

Your situation is very unique, but I am not sure how else to help as I mentioned, this is an issue with JoiPlay and RPG Maker and not the game.

[weary glade]

Is preloaded for android a thing?

[blazing python]

it is possible yes, just dependant on the device and storage

[weary glade]

How much storage would I need approximately?

[blazing python]

3 gbs

[weary glade]

Ah okay

So I have to follow the same steps on your Steamdeck installation guide? @blazing python

[stuck thorn]

dont know if this is the right channel but

im playing the preloaded version

[blazing python]

no that is just where the files are for the game. In the description of the video

[stuck thorn]

i beat surge and i have almost a full box of pokemon by now

every time i try to fuse pokemon in the box the game freezes for 1-2 minutes at every single dialogue box

[weary glade]

So I just gotta do the android guide like normal but with those files

[stuck thorn]

is this normal
is there a way to improve performance

[blazing python]

(SLOW/Bad Performance?) - [More Info](#tech-support message)

[stuck thorn]

alright thanks

[blazing python]

As the info above states, preloaded is our most optimized solution. If your game is still slow with preloaded, you need to make computer upgrades.

[stuck thorn]

so does the game become increasingly more demanding as i catch more mons

because it was nowhere near this bad when i started

[blazing python]

for the PC yes. But there is a PC cache implemented so if you move around in your box, they should be getting cached and be a little faster as you pass by them

[stuck thorn]

that's good to know

the game has hundreds of thousands if not millions of sprites and pokemon to work with so im not surprised that it doesnt run well

[blazing python]

311k sprites last I counted so far

[rigid silo]

and we're like what, halfway to at least 1 custom sprite per fusion?

[stuck thorn]

do the automatically generated ones count

[blazing python]

yes that is counting auto gens

[stuck thorn]

so if you add a new pokemon do you get like 1000 new sprites

[blazing python]

1 pokemon = at least 465 sprites right now

custom sprites are released as they are drawn and approved

[weary glade]

As in preloaded Android, when a new sprite pack is posted, do I just put it the files?

[blazing python]

I have no idea. They are all broken down by specific pokemon right now

https://infinitefusiondex.com/info/pokedex

[blazing python]

yeah if you using preloaded, at the end of every month, new sprites come out. You'd have to add them to your graphics folder

I always update the links as well whenever there are updates if you don't want to move the sprites around yourself

[weary glade]

Okie

Thanks megaman

the man

nice new role btw

[blazing python]

Thank you! Now I can't mess up

[weary glade]

You are officially staff with perms and all?

[blazing python]

Yes I am Tech-Support Manager now

I need to add my intro in #staff-presentations

[weary glade]

Yeah I was thinking about that, you should do it

[floral oar]

Hi, um when i click to open the game after downloading, I get an "Error opening OpenAL device". Is there something i missed?

[blazing python]

this means your computer doesn't detect any audio devices. Plugging in headphones will solve this

[floral oar]

hmm i just tried that and i still got the same error

[cinder scaffold]

You know what? The regular version from github instead of drive works fine (didn't even need to change to mkxp-z) i managed to get to starting room just fine, haven't try battling yet. Weird how the preloaded one doesn't work, i notice the standard one are smaller in size what files its missing compared to the preloaded one, and yet so far can run fine, btw is it possible to increase the resolution?

[blazing python]

keep trying plugging and unplugging it in. It is specifically an audio issue on your computer

[blazing python]

the only difference is the amount of sprites

the github is the minimum required sprites to play Game.exe

[cinder scaffold]

How can i change it to full experience?

[blazing python]

the sprites install as you encounter pokemon

[trim fox]

Yeah you just need to be connected to internet or have data

[blazing python]

preloaded is just having all the sprites downloaded before you play

[cinder scaffold]

Really? Does the downloading process work even on Joiplay?

[trim fox]

It does

[cinder scaffold]

What, is it like download progress on the status bar or ingame?

[blazing python]

it does it on the fly

when you encounter a pidgey, it will download and install the sprites as you battle/catch it

[cinder scaffold]

Then what is the sprite pack for?

[blazing python]

to do them manually

to install all of them at once instead of pokemon by pokemon

[trim fox]

To play completely offline

[undone jay]

Hmm, I was following the setup tutorial for infinite fusion on Mac, and everything was going fine until I inputted this command

Does this have to do with wine potentially being down? Just wondering

The stuff in the background is the tutorial I'm following, the smallest window there near the bottom is my terminal

[blazing python]

Can you try these two commands as well:
echo "export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.zshrc
Then after this:
source ~/.zshrc

[undone jay]

Ok I'll give it a try, thank you

Ok I inputted them, should I try repeating step 5 now?

[blazing python]

yes

[undone jay]

Step 4 is what I meant, sorry lol

[blazing python]

yeah I was double checking your screen and was questioning it right now too lol

[undone jay]

Ok it seems to be working

Sorry for the confusion

Ok everything looks good with the terminal, so far so good

Ok I think it worked!

Thank you so much for posting the tutorial and helping me out with this

[blazing python]

wooo! I am glad everything worked out!

I guess the WineSkin server might be good now then

[undone jay]

I think I'm gonna try installing Xenoverse in a bit too since you have a tutorial up for that as well

[blazing python]

Yeah that is on my to do list to play as well!

im so behind on all of these lol

[undone jay]

Lol so am I, all I've played is Reborn, Insurgence, and a couple romhacks like Radical Red and Unbound, I have a lot of catching up to do

[blazing python]

soooo many of them but in a good way lol

[chilly cedar]

writes down a couple more names to download thursday

[azure iron]

Hey guys, just installed the game fresh and when loading it up the fusions come up as a huge ? mark and also when I try to start playing I get this error:

Tried to do the 'repair game' feature and it didn't work, any advice?

[blazing python]

this means your internet is unstable or not connecting to the sprite repo due to firewall/antivirus

[azure iron]

That's interesting, I don't normally have internet related issues

[blazing python]

You can do the following:

1. Add your whole InfiniteFusion game folder to Windows Defender: Link
2. Follow these instructions in game to reset your sprite pull to the repo: [More Info](#tech-support message)
3. Install the sprites using our Sprite Installer: Link

[azure iron]

Thanks I'll try this out.

[azure iron]

I can't follow step 2 because I am unable to get 'in game', like I said, at the start menu after I press space to proceed I get the above error, Did step 1, trying step 3.

[chilly cedar]

did you try after adding it as an exclusion?

[azure iron]

Yes, I did step 1, which was adding it as an exclusion

[chilly cedar]

Right, I'm asking if you tried to start the game up after doing that.

[azure iron]

Yea, closed the launcher, relaunched.

and pressed play again

[graceful valve]

Hey, it's happening to me that if i try to wonder trade (version 6.0.5), the game stops and i need to close it manually

Because it doesn't response

[chilly cedar]

Interesting, I just tested it out for myself and I can do a wondertrade no problem.

Are you playing on dynamic or preloaded? Are you getting an error code?

[graceful valve]

Probably the last, before that i couldnt read types or moves name

And i lost the fusion sprites

I play with the pre-loaded

[chilly cedar]

If that doesn't work, I want to see what happens when I give you the prepackaged install.

[azure iron]

So I completed Step 3, and got the message that new custom sprites were imported now, still getting the same error, and yes I have set up the whole folder as an exclusion as in step 1.

[graceful valve]

Also my computer isn't my best ally if im honest ;-;

[chilly cedar]

What do you mean the last, and lost the fusion sprites?

[chilly cedar]

#tech-support message

Try that install

[graceful valve]

Nothing, i misread.
And yes, i had the sprite, for example, of the fusion marowak-umbreon, but now i don't

Like, im honest, i dont bother, maybe i should try to erase everything and start all over again the download

[chilly cedar]

If you want to go that route, go for it. The prepackaged install is in that link above.

[graceful valve]

I have to folders: one in 6.0.4 and one in 6.0.5

[graceful valve]

And an extra .zip

XD

I couldnt update the 6.4, so installed another pack of files, then update them and here we are

[azure iron]

This might be a while to download, will poke when completed! Thanks

[chilly cedar]

To be expected it's everything all at once :p yw. lmk how it goes.

[chilly cedar]

Yeah that's weird, you should have been able to update. Well to save some file space, you can delete those folders and just use that link I posted above,

Probably will fix your wonkiness also

[sterile pivot]

can someone help me i cant download the game (or im being a dumbass)

[blazing python]

***(INSTALLATION GUIDES) - *** Windows, Mac, Steam Deck, Android and Linux -> [Guide](#tech-support message)

[sterile pivot]

oh danm

[graceful valve]

First of all, talking with you made me remember that the problem with the fusion sprites must be that i need to install again the sprites (or copypasting the Graphic file that contains the sprites), so that way the 6.0.5 have the 6.0.4.

Maybe, with hope, that solves other graphic problems that appeared on the 6.0.5 game

[blazing python]

wait are you on PC?

[velvet sundial]

Managed to download wineskin and set it up on mac, but the app just infinitely loads and doesn't show any windows

[blazing python]

did you use our tutorial?

[velvet sundial]

yes

[blazing python]

So you added Game.exe as the app to open the game in WineSkin?

[velvet sundial]

yes

[blazing python]

When you double click WineSkin, does the infinitefusion screen open up at all?

[velvet sundial]

no :(

[blazing python]

then it is a compatibility issue with your Mac and WineSkin
