[rigid silo]

And if you are following the guide, yes.

[dusty venture]

So i replied to you

Hey I’m not tech savvy and I’m special so I have a hard time with stuff like this

[rigid silo]

The guide was made by our head tech-support, so it's correct.

[dusty venture]

Okay still doesn’t mean that I did something wrong and messaged it up

Sorry if I have a hard time comprehending n understanding

[rigid silo]

If you copy it exactly then you will be fine. Replay, pause, take your time. You got it

[dusty venture]

N this guide will show me how to get the new sprites

[rigid silo]

Yes

[dusty venture]

Thanks for the help I’m good with cars not computer n my dyslexia turns me into mush when trying to figure out this sh** out

[rigid silo]

No worries

[dusty venture]

I feel like you just said that and patted me on the head lololol

[proud timber]

some of the tiles are glitched on mt silver

[verbal timber]

there's a lot of glitched tiles all over the place in the game

nothing we can do about it

i think there is a bug report collecting info on tile glitches, or building glitches, but finding it is going to be pain

[dusty venture]

How long is the install/update supposed to take I’m at 31%

[late bane]

just wait its loading a lot of stuff so 31 could take longer to get past

[uncut latch]

Hey guys, I know that the mobile version isn't supported by the developers but I was wondering if anyone has found a fix for these graphical issues I'm about to be posting screenshots of

[turbid terrace]

Hey @uncut latch! This game is not made for mobile! The only workaround is to install JoiPlay, but any performance issues, bugs, or issues with Android are not fixable. No dedicated mobile version of IF will be developed in the future.

An installation guide for Android can be found HERE.

[dusty venture]

Damn lol I just want to fuse mewtwo with riolu lol

[dusty venture]

Finally I’m at 50% thanks for the help guys talk are the best

[rigid silo]

Shit thats wild looking, Only graphical fix I know of for mobile is the "optimise maps" one. But i'm unsure if that will fix this

[uncut latch]

Oh well. But yeah the issue varies because sometimes the top half of the party list will show up and function graphically as expected but then sometimes it pops up as above and I'm having to guess and check which pokemon I'm selecting

[rigid silo]

and you did use the guide to install on android?
it might be caused by joiplay/rpg maker plugin versions. we require VERY specific versions.

Thats the only other thing I can think of

[primal vector]

Hi, my game is very slow and loads forever when I enter buildings or fights etc. I heard this could be circumvented by instead booting the "game-preloaded", but when I do it gives me an error message that looks like the attached. I heard I might need to download all sprites to fix it so I did and added them to the folder but I still get the error. Any tips?

[rigid silo]

You did not install preloaded.

Please install the proper sprites. see this post for details -> #tech-support message

[onyx hound]

how good a computer is needed? aka will my old laptop overheat if i try and play the game on it?

[rigid silo]

It really varies, I don't know your laptop so I have no idea

[onyx hound]

varies on what?

[rigid silo]

A lot of things: file transfer speed, cpu speed, core count, memory speed, memory amount, storage space

[onyx hound]

i guess if i try it i can always delete it? it won't like kill my laptop will it lol

[rigid silo]

so like I said; "old laptop" is not very descriptive, im not psychic.
But you can try, it likely wont break anything

[onyx hound]

idk how to check anything about it

like. the specs or whatever

[rigid silo]

Just try it, easy delete if it doesn't work properly.

i know robot

also what is a good MiB/s. just curious if you know

[rigid silo]

for what? file transfer, download or upload? and do you mean megabits or megabytes?

[onyx hound]

i have no idea

doesn't matter anyway

how do i. press start?

[rigid silo]

are you in game yet? or do you mean how to launch the game?

[onyx hound]

im in the game

sorry lol im not being very clear

it's just fusing stuff

[rigid silo]

These are the keybinds for your game.
everything drawn in red is not important for you

[onyx hound]

ty

[rigid silo]

As in, red drawings, the red text is what it does. my bad.

[onyx hound]

yeah i figured it lol thanks

so that's it? i don't have to do anything else, that's all the sprites and stuff done?

[rigid silo]

If you use game.exe, yes that is it.

it will download the latest sprites on that version as you encounter/make them

[onyx hound]

what exactly does game.exe mean

i loaded the thing called 'Game'

[rigid silo]

Its our "dynamic" version.

yeah thats the same thing, you just have extensions hidden.

You good

[onyx hound]

alright thanks for the help

sorry for the annoying tech questions lol

[rigid silo]

Thats why we're here

[onyx hound]

that's fair

i feel so stupid i spent two days messing around on my phone, assuming my laptop wouldn't work and it's just fine

[fossil adder]

I transferred my game to a new computer but it looks like my save file got deleted...???

[rigid silo]

well yeah, the save is not stored with the game...

the folder marked "savefile" is a shortcut to the real folder (as indicated by the little arrow on the bottom left of the folder)

[fossil adder]

fuckkkk

well
that's me told

goodbye save file 😔

[rigid silo]

That is where your save file is stored

[spiral snow]

man ;-;

still cant install the game

[rigid silo]

Disconnect, can be a couple of things. Virus scan blocking it or your internet disconnected

I'll get you set up, do not worry my man!

[rigid silo]

[I am going to recommend you use this installation, Click this message to view it](#tech-support message)

This one is already pre-installed with everything. Just extract and play.
This is our tech-support version, we have personally confirmed this one 100% works.

[spiral snow]

aight tysm!!

[onyx hound]

I assume if the game is super laggy it's just because of my device?

[rigid silo]

You can get some performance benefit by pre-loading the game.
[Click me for the guide](#tech-support message)

[onyx hound]

it's slow but bearable. i might just see how it is?

god i hope i can make this work

this game is so cool

[dusty venture]

I have a question it finished running and I’m just wondering if it worked

[verbal timber]

no it did not

you have a code line that stats there was an unexpected disconnect

this means either your internet derped out, your internet isn't strong enough, or your firewall/anti-virus is blocking the download

Hi, my game keeps freezing after catching or evolving a pokemon. I can hear the Pokédex music but just have a black screen. Sometimes it will fix after 2 minutes or so but other times not at all.

Playing on preloaded with DNA icons switched on

[turbid terrace]

Hey @wooden elm! 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

[wooden elm]

Not what I meant but thanks anyway bot

[chilly zenith]

so this has happened twice now, did i do something wrong? the game was downloaded directly from the downloads channel

ive twice done this exact settings and twice had blue have a random fusion

[rigid silo]

I think that is just a base function of random, making blue have a random starter fusion.

[chilly zenith]

it could be it, but it doesn't make sense if the pokemon are static

[rigid silo]

Idk I just chill here

[chilly zenith]

yeah, honestly it doesnt impact that much its just a bit weird ig

[rigid silo]

Hmmm it does sound like a delay because of sprite downloads, but I assume you are playing on preloaded properly and got your download from an official source.
Only other thing I can think of then is that performance might be reduced due to files maybe being in a onedrive folder.

[wooden elm]

Have checked and there’s no one drive active on my PC, I didn’t encounter this issue until around Cerulean city, was fine before that 😦

[rigid silo]

Just a quick sanity check: you are playing on game-preloaded.exe with download missing sprites turned off in the options, right?

[wooden elm]

Correct

[dusty venture]

I think I did it just by plugging. In my Ethernet

So just do be sure I launch through the game preloader

[high torrent]

i extracted the files but nothing came out

heres the report thingy

[blazing python]

The error says early disconnect. Read our pinned messages. The 2nd one addresses this

[blazing python]

You only open preloaded if you want to play the game with no internet or if you have performance issues. Otherwise open the game with “game” or “game-default”

[chilly cedar]

Correct

[limpid palm]

on the pokecommunity website the most recent link takes me to github, is that the correct source?

[blazing python]

yes but that is currently broken

Someone else had to plug in their laptop to ethernet and others restarted their wifi to make it work [EXAMPLE](#tech-support message)

[civic thicket]

hey all, i dont know is this is the correct channel to ask this but i have a problem,
i have a safe file of infinite fusion "normal/old mode" that i have quite some time invested in, now i recently wanted to try out the Modern Mode and although i am enjoying it a lot i wanted to open my old safe. but it cant get it to open or access it
it is there, with the correct name slot and dates but if i click it to open it it loads my modern game save

[blazing python]

can you share a screenshot of your save in your save folder?

and do you remember what version your old save was in?

[civic thicket]

i have no shadow of an idea what version the last safe was on but it updates regularly, i use the launcher to play the game i got it through this discord

[blazing python]

that looks fine. The only reason any of those don't open is because the game can't anymore. Usually due to corruption

[civic thicket]

the weird thing i cant explain is, it does open

[blazing python]

i would try saving to a different slot then instead of the same one

[civic thicket]

safe file b is the "modern mode safe" safe file A and H are identical first version safes, but no matter which one i open they are all the modern safe file now

[civic thicket]

i dident

[blazing python]

are you saying progress wise, they are in the same place as your modern?

or what you mean?

[civic thicket]

no i say the old safe file is right there but which ever one i select it always opens the same safe B

it always open the modern safe file i played last

like it has overwritten the old safe

all 3 are now seemingly my modern safe

[blazing python]

have you tried moving File B out of the folder? Not delete, but move it somewhere else to see if it affects the other files

[civic thicket]

i have tried it and it doesent seem to change anything

tried to open the old files with an older version of the launcher but it says that cant open it

[rigid silo]

Excuse you? with the launcher? you switch save files in game

[blazing python]

yeah you have to press left and right to open them

[civic thicket]

yeah there must be some corruption going on cause it freaks the game out

[rigid silo]

So what happens when you press left/right here?

what freaks out?

[civic thicket]

it doesent change the pokemon or my name but it does change the hours played, but when i select it ghets glitchy then open the B modern file anyway

[rigid silo]

Weird, yeah I don't think we've encountered something like this before.
Corrupted saves are the most likely scenario as megaman described

but generally those completely brick the game and prevent it from even loading

[civic thicket]

it must be my own damn fault, i redownloaded the game through the launcher when it wasent working and now i cant access it just a shame for all the progress i made

still have modern though 🙂 ty for listening guys

[rigid silo]

You could try salvaging them by doing a clean install through a working method and attempting to load them one by one.

move em all elsewhere, clean install, move them back into the save folder 1 by 1 and checking the game in between every move

[civic thicket]

il give that a shot dude, thx

super nice of you guys to respond so quickly, love this game

[rigid silo]

Honestly just caught be doing a final check before bed, to see if there isn't mass chaos in here. but Megaman has been active, so we all good.

[uncut latch]

I used the instructions on the website. Idk if there was a different page I was supposed to follow.

[rigid silo]

If it was either this one or this video then you are all good

Those are our 2 official guides for your highest chance of getting it to work properly on android.

for the record: I'm not saying you did something wrong, its just something for you to check if you want to put in the effort.
there is a good chance you did it correctly since you got into the game at all, but that your device simply does not want to cooperate. it happens a lot since the game is not made for android in the slightest.

A point of attention: the joiplay and rpg maker versions are VERY important. If you made a mistake, it is likely there.

[fast bolt]

If by "website" you mean one of the ones that say they're "official", that's a fake site. There is no official site.

[rigid silo]

I really wonder what their motive is, since I haven't seen reports of serious malware yet.
Must just be Ad-revenue farms.

[civic thicket]

hey dont know if your still here, but it Worked!! thx man have no idea what the problem was but its running again

[uncut latch]

I do believe it said official so I suppose I got lucky that the game works at all lmao. I did encounter a new issue though, I got a phone call while playing and when I went back the audio wasn't working. I tried force closing the app and reopening it but when I did this my save file just straight up disappeared so I'm reinstalling the game using the instructions you provided to see if I can get back to playing

[turbid terrace]

Hey @uncut latch! This game is not made for mobile! The only workaround is to install JoiPlay, but any performance issues, bugs, or issues with Android are not fixable. No dedicated mobile version of IF will be developed in the future.

Your save may be fine, but the errors could also be saved into your file. So I hope you didn't get too far.

[chilly cedar]

That's what It is, essentially they get small kick backs for people downloading their links.

[blazing python]

might not be reported because people are clueless what is going on. People report their computer being slower and also it isn't pulling from our repo so it is grabbing their files from another source that who knows what it has in them

[rigid silo]

Fair point

[uncut latch]

My save file wouldn't pull up in the recommended install files either 😦 I was 8 hours in... But I guess if I had a risk of the issues being stuck in that save file I'm better off

[chilly cedar]

More than just that possibly tbh.

Potential malware which could do some serious damage, if not to your computer, to you.

[uncut latch]

Fair enough. Oh and I figured out the audio issue, turns out my headphones were connected to my phone and my TV at the same time and it was prioritizing the TV audio and not my phone lmao

[blazing python]

The launcher is buggy and not handling the update correctly. Only workarounds:

1. Try the repair game option in launcher settings on the top right.
2. Delete your whole launcher folder and reinstall from scratch
3. Don’t use the launcher, it is buggy and not our primary installer: **Written Guide: ** [Guide](#tech-support message)

[modest sequoia]

@blazing python Hey sorry for the @ but you replied to my youtube comment on your steam deck download guide with a potential fix, I've opened Q4Wine before on the device and already did the setup wizard i'm pretty sure because it just opens instead of running a setup wizard but I'm still running into the issue where I press play and instead of loading it still just shows a black screen and then closes. I've had 2 other games do this, one non-steam game and one non-deck verified steam game and proton fixed those, could the issue be proton not working in someway?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @modest sequoia! 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.

Thank you for following up and dang I was hoping it would work! We had someone come in here and had the same exact issue as you. He said all he did that was different was do the setup wizard and then afterwards it started working.

It is interesting you mentioned it is happening to other games. Curious, when you see the .exe for Game.exe in the game folder, does it try to open up the game with q4wine on Desktop mode?

[grand vortex]

hey, i have watched and followed an offical tutorial about installing the game on Mac. However, when i get up to a step which is installing “Wine” it says dquote> and i cant go any further than that. Also, yes I have done steps 3.1. any help would be appreciated.

We have no official website for the game. They have a fake version of the game with viruses

For example when I double click it, it asks if I want to execute it. I say yes and this pops up. When I click ok it will open in desktop mode. I wonder if q4wine has to be the default program to open the game

[grand vortex]

update, it is before i install wine and the problem is with the 3.1 step.

[tawny abyss]

So ive been playing perfectly fine the past few days, was about to stream some right now, but after i launch the game, it goes into the starting cinematic for 3 seconds andd crashes

[blazing python]

a couple things here:

1. You see where it says next steps? Make sure you run that command it put there starting with (echo; echo 'aval. That whole thing paste in there since it is asking you to do that

2. The command in 3.1 is 2 separate commands not 1 long one

[tawny abyss]

Found a fix for now, because my OBS was trying to capture it on launch, it was causing it to crash, so disabling the capture for now, let me actually launch it

[blazing python]

if you get an error message, it is best to share it if here so we can look at it. We can't really troubleshoot crashes without an error message

If you don't get an error message from the crash, the crash is not coming from the game

[blazing python]

I updated the Commands to Install document to better explain

[grand vortex]

thanks so much, onto step 5 now!!

[quiet cloak]

im not great at this but I reset my computer and I had an old version from last may, I went to redownload the game but preloaded isnt working, so I downloaded the general lightweight download and im able to get in the game but I keep freezing after the cutscene explaining the splicers and some of my files have red X's next to them after downloading the sprite pack, im not computer saavy so should I delete everything and go again or is there a way to fix it

and im getting no error messages

[blazing python]

Did you download the game from this discord?

[quiet cloak]

yes I did

[blazing python]

Just FYI, preloaded doesn't work if you don't set it up. It doesn't work on its own

You have to use the sprite installer to download all of the sprites

[quiet cloak]

yeah, I dont know why its so difficult for me now, ive done this with no trouble before and now its not working. i have the lightweight version now, should I just delete everything and go for that preloaded thing with the sprite installer? I went to do that but I was confused

[blazing python]

i think you are misunderstanding and confusing things together

[quiet cloak]

probably, im good at that

[blazing python]

it has nothing to do with the way you installed the game

you have to set up preloaded to make it work. The game and the installer doesn't do it for you

you have to use a separate sprite installer to install the sprites into the game

If you need a guide for it, we have it here: LINK

[quiet cloak]

ok, just to be sure I keep everything ive downloaded so far?

[blazing python]

correct

so download the sprite installer. Open the sprite installer. Select your game folder's graphics folder, and it will setup the preloaded sprites for you

[quiet cloak]

and will that fix my main issue with the game freezing at the initial cutscene?

[blazing python]

You should read our pinned message for Performance. It explains it more: [More Info](#tech-support message)

ooo interesting. So then q4wine isn't the issue and it could be more proton related somehow. I think I will have to go back to the drawing board, but thank you for trying it out

[opaque nexus]

could anyone help me

i just downloaded the new sprites and now it shows up an error

[blazing python]

that means you downloaded the wrong sprites. You need to use the sprite installer

Pinned messages has all the info

[quiet cloak]

@blazing python just wanted to say thanks for the help, I got it going

[echo nimbus]

Help me pls

[blazing python]

Perfect! Glad it worked

[blazing python]

you need to delete and uninstall rpg maker and joiplay and use the ones in our guide. If you didn't use our guide to get the game, I suggest you do it as well

[atomic leaf]

im on mac and my step 4 isnt working

[blazing python]

?tag install

[pearl magnet]

If you have trouble downloading/installing the game on windows/mac/steamdeck/mobile, you can use the guides in this message to guide you through the process #tech-support message

[atomic leaf]

whenever i type brew tap homebrew/cask-versions

it shows this

[blazing python]

you put all 3 commands in step 3.1?

[atomic leaf]

im pretty sure, if i already quit terminal, will redoing it mess anything up?

[blazing python]

nope it should be fine to do again

[atomic leaf]

alright i can try

the warning?

do you think thats whats stopping me?

[blazing python]

Macs are so difficult. The commands in 3.1 are correct, but with .zshrc. Your Mac wants it to be in .zprofile

You see that commands that starts with (echo; echo 'eval under "Next steps:"

that is what it wants you to paste in

[atomic leaf]

very difficult

[atomic leaf]

so should i copy and paste that instead of the one on the command list?

[blazing python]

correct

can you open and paste it here? Would be nice so I can add it to the tutorial document

[atomic leaf]

gotcha

"$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

this all or the parentheses too?

[blazing python]

I am talking about the line above that

[atomic leaf]

oh

[blazing python]

the one you pasted is in my document on step 2

[atomic leaf]

wait so

Run these two commands in your terminal to add Homebrew to your PATH:

thats the liine above

line*

[blazing python]

No, going back to what I said above
You see that commands that starts with (echo; echo 'eval? That whole line is what you are missing

[atomic leaf]

ohh like with my name and everything?

[blazing python]

yes

It likes like this one should work too echo 'eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)' >> $HOME/.zprofile

[atomic leaf]

echo 'eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)' >> $HOME/.zprofile

so i can copy paste this and itll work

alr ill try it

should the third step be back to normal?

[blazing python]

yeah after that, try this again brew tap homebrew/cask-versions

[atomic leaf]

ok im back on track tysm😭

[blazing python]

Thank you for helping me as well! I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working for some people so this helps

[sand falcon]

why does my game keep just going so fast, i encoutered a pokemon and automatically it sped into attack without me even pressing a button

[blazing python]

Did you edit a file to add debug to your game?

[sand falcon]

how do i do that?

[hearty frost]

#1199782323688833024

[blazing python]

No I was asking if you did do that. Sounds like you didn’t

[sand falcon]

I know I can turn on a force debug through a mod i have

[blazing python]

That probably caused it if you used it. People who changed the code is getting speed up issues

Also Pressing the Q button changes the speed of the game

[sand falcon]

tried to press q to see if it fixed it and got zoomie jumpscared

[blazing python]

But yeah we can’t troubleshoot files that have been modified

[sand falcon]

I found the issue, someone in the discord of the mod had also had the same issue
the mod had a auto battle feature and it some how got turned on so I turned it off

[blazing python]

Do you have a link to that post?

Or are you talking about the Kuray mod?

[sand falcon]

indeedys

[blazing python]

Yeah that is separate from this discord

[sand falcon]

the kuray mod

[blazing python]

We don’t troubleshoot their mod

[sand falcon]

yeahh, apologies I got confused

[peak violet]

Hey I got message error opening AL device when I am trying to launch the game. I just downloaded the game today

[blazing python]

This means your computer detects no audio device. Plugin headphones

[peak violet]

Everytime I enter the overworld (exit house, battle) I get a black screen for 10 seconds. My friend said this doesn't happen to him. Any ideas what wrong?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @peak violet! 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

[trim fox]

Follow [this guide](#tech-support message) to install sprites locally, it'll cut down load times

[peak violet]

Okay, I haven't had any trouble with the sprites themselves.

[fast bolt]

Running preloaded is how you can reduce that lag. Preloaded needs all the sprites from that guide.

The lag is from the game connecting to the internet to download sprites.

[peak violet]

sure I will try that. I was just hesitant at downloading 200k images

[woven scarab]

Hi! At the top of the mountain on boon island there’s a spot where you can accidentally jump off the mountain into the water behind the house and you can’t get back in bounds 😅 you can teleport back onto the island but I figured this might be something someone needs to know?

[novel cypress]

hey what tutorial do i use for installing or download? i was doing mega man one but looks like that needs the game downloaded first

[celest plover]

Hello I have this problem on my phone, do you have a solution?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @celest plover! This game is not made for mobile! The only workaround is to install JoiPlay, but any performance issues, bugs, or issues with Android are not fixable. No dedicated mobile version of IF will be developed in the future.

An installation guide for Android can be found HERE.

[novel cypress]

nevermind i see pinned message

[rigid silo]

Yes we do, read the guide. We mention like 100x across pinned messages, tech support conversations and guides that you MUST use certain versions of plugins. You did not read and installed wrong ones.

[celest plover]

Yes I see thx

[compact ore]

what do i need to do nowww click on install?

[placid steppe]

Yeah you double click on the install_or_update

[rigid silo]

Please use one of our guides, thank you

[quartz agate]

After downloading i dont get the launcher or any of the other files

[rigid silo]

This looks fine, what is the problem?

[quartz agate]

none of the files download after i press enter

or during even

[rigid silo]

It's still getting them right? The percent thingy

[quartz agate]

after clicking enter

i still only see the 2 starter files

[rigid silo]

Just wait it out and once it has finished show me the console again. It should contain an error message in that case.

[quartz agate]

roger that

[quartz agate]

done

[rigid silo]

Yeah you had an early disconnect. We have this problem pinned here -> #tech-support message

If none of those fixes work, let me know again and I will help you brute-force an install.

[quartz agate]

roger that

[quartz agate]

how does the brute force work?

[rigid silo]

It is our pre-packaged install. It has everything already, just extract and play.
It will take a while to extract because of that. But we have personally confirmed these game files work 100%

[Link to post](#tech-support message)

[quartz agate]

i tried both the others and the second one didnt even download lol

[rigid silo]

This one isn't listed in the install methods. It's our tech support version

[quartz agate]

well ill give it a go then

[sour scroll]

when i open the game it gave me that

what do i do

??

[potent flower]

after clicking install or update it said click any button when i click there isnt any new folders likw game.exe why

hlp

plzzz

[rigid silo]

Retry and then send a screenshot when you see the "click any button". There are likely some errors.

[potent flower]

ok

this is it

@rigid silo ?

[late bane]

it seems as you did not extract the zip which is required for the batch to work

[potent flower]

i did

[late bane]

then the reason your files are not extracting is becuase either your internet is timing out or your av is causing your internet to time out

[potent flower]

av?

angry voltorb?

[late bane]

av stands for anti virus

[hollow frost]

I'm a lil lost, did the alternative loader get removed from downloads? I'm not finding it anywhere

no. the alt lanucher was bundled into the regular one but with a new name

[oak gate]

hey

wondering

how do i download the megamean sprite

[turbid terrace]

Hey @oak gate! 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!

[oak gate]

without the whole game

[blazing python]

it is completely separate from the game LINK

[oak gate]

yh i found it thanks

Wait you know on the graphics bit

i dont have the game

[oak gate]

can u help?

wait it is fine

[blazing python]

well you need the game for it to install the sprites into the folder

[oak gate]

Yh i have the im downloading the sprites now

I need help

my screen when. I play the game

is just black

[blazing python]

the instructions go over this if you read it...

[oak gate]

kkkk sorry

my bad sorry

[blazing python]

did you install the game from a website or this discord?

[cloud mango]

I've installed it a few weeks ago

I tried clicking update and boom

[blazing python]

so you using the launcher?

i need more info to help properly

[balmy gorge]

Does anyone knows how to fix this problem ? I know it's comming from Dragon Rage, but idk how ti fix it

[blazing python]

Go to your game folder. There is a file named SaveFile. Double click that and it takes you to your save folder. there should be an errorlog.txt file there with more info you can provide us

[balmy gorge]

got no error

[blazing python]

You pressed Ok on the crash in game?

[balmy gorge]

yup

can redo the bug, won't tae long anyway ^^

[blazing python]

Then yeah no sure how to help without the error message

[balmy gorge]

strange, used dragon rage but didn't got it this time ... I already got it on other devices ... well, when the crash happen again, I'll resend it here

[blazing python]

Ok sounds good. I noticed it is Clefable mix. Metronome can cause crashes as well

[balmy gorge]

(but I remember I looked at the crash log, it said the bug was coming from here, line 156)
(path : InfiniteFusion\Data\Scripts\011_Battle\006_Other battle types)

[blazing python]

sure but without the detailed error report, this doesn't help much.

It just points to this method, but we need to know what about this method failed

[chilly cedar]

SystemStackError occurs when your Ruby code encounters a stack overflow; in other words, the memory allocated to execute the program exceeded the memory available on the stack.

Ill take a look at that line when I get home and see what's going on in the clefable picture.

But like Megaman said, we need the actual error log.

[blazing python]

Yup but still vague as to what scenario happened to cause the memory issue especially since it worked without an error afterwards

[chilly cedar]

Yeah definitely.

[ionic dirge]

Hello! I can't launch the game on my Mac, and I don't understand where the issue is coming from.

[golden bluff]

whats the process to be able to play the game offline with all of the custom sprites? is there a download?

[grizzled zenith]

can anyone help

happens whenever i use the pokedex

[blazing python]

just opening or where you are pressing down on the pokedex to navigate to entries in the sprites

[grizzled zenith]

when im pressing down to review, am i missing some sprites?

[blazing python]

no it is a known bug when pressing down when viewing alt sprites -> https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1197765644872060988

[grizzled zenith]

let me see if it does the same by just reviewing pidgey

btw game or game-default?

[blazing python]

both are the same

[grizzled zenith]

alright good. im completely new to this

do i need to install the sprites too. or does it automatically download it for every fusion

[blazing python]

it does it auto when you encounter a pokemon

[grizzled zenith]

perfect. there is existing sprites too, thought i hads to. you have been a huge help

[blazing python]

no prob!

[small kayak]

Does anyone know how to fix the game laging every couple of steps when using the game.exe but not when using the preloader

[blazing python]

no prob! Glad it worked!

How do I change the keys? I can't find it in the options.

Yes thks

Can the game be set in another language as well?

[blazing python]

no just english

[sullen solstice]

i made a second save file and i cant get onyo my first one please help me

[rigid silo]

what do you mean by: "cant get on"?

What is happening?
Or do you just not know how to get to it?

[sullen solstice]

i cant get onto my first save file

[rigid silo]

yeah I get that. but because of an error, or just because you do not know how to?

[sullen solstice]

dont know how

[rigid silo]

Coolcool, no worries. its quite easy

When you are on this screen (when starting the game), press left or right to switch saves

[sullen solstice]

ty

does any htung happen with pokerus

[rigid silo]

double EV gain

[sullen solstice]

cool

ty

[sly hare]

Checked pinned comments and the docs and couldn't find anything similar to this, pretty sure the png is fine but game wont even get to starting menu

[blazing python]

how did you install the game? Seems like you messed with some images

[sly hare]

i installed from your mac video, been playing the game fine, tried changing characters sprite and that happened

[blazing python]

yeah somehow that managed to break the png for leftarrow

[sly hare]

where can i find leftarrow to check, cant find a graphic folder

[blazing python]

then how did you try and change character sprites? the character sprites are in the graphics folder as well..

[sly hare]

followed another guide which said to paste the 'Characters', 'Pictures, and 'Transitions' files from the sprite pack folder straight into graphics

[blazing python]

yeah that broke it cause the pictures folder is what is complaining

so you broke it with whatever tutorial that was lol

[sly hare]

anyway i can reset or do i need to reinstall?

[blazing python]

that is the file. Replace it with the one you have

it has to be in .png format

[sly hare]

still think that will work if this is my whole Pictures folder?

[blazing python]

oh lol

you missing a lot from there

[sly hare]

yea figured...

kinda hoping it would be that easy though xD

[blazing python]

what tutorial was is?

[sly hare]

gimme a sec

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKZ3a3AJGtw&t=697s

go to 4:40 for where i started

mine didn't merge folders is the issue it replaced them

[blazing python]

yeah this is PC

On Mac it is just a replace

[sly hare]

yeah, anyway to replace broken files?

it would only be 'Characters', 'Pictures, and 'Transitions' files that broke

[blazing python]

just redownload the files from my video and move those 3 folders over

[glossy kite]

hello, i have a question, did i have to download updatedsprite pack or just the full sprite pack is enough ?

[blazing python]

depends what you trying to do with them

[glossy kite]

i just want to have the most sprite in the game

[blazing python]

then updatessprites is what you need or use the sprite installer

[sly hare]

thanks @blazing python for next time is there a good mac tutorial on changing sprites anywhere?

[glossy kite]

Thank's you so much !

[blazing python]

it is the same instructions, just copy/pasting works different on mac

[blazing python]

if you go to #ask-a-bot and ask How do I change trainer sprites, it will give you a written guide as well

[glossy kite]

i'll check this thank's mate

[sullen solstice]

how do i gex exp share

[blazing python]

ask in #gameplay-help

[supple glade]

My frame rate drops to like 1 when surfing or walking in grass, is there a solution for this? I was not having this problem in the pre loaded version of the game but after installing the game the normal way > this started to happen

[blazing python]

it is recommended if you have perf issues use preloaded

[supple glade]

Thank you

[uneven cloak]

(I'm just copy pasting this because someone told me to bring it here. don't know if it was a bug or something because like, I dunno.)

so, I had whited out and as soon as I ended up in the pokecenter, the nurse said "it doesn't seem to be responding" and I actually don't know if she said that after I talked to her or something because I tend to spam enter when I whiteout, and I checked my party, noting was of, I tried restarting the game a couple times to get it again, but it didn't show up, I looked up what it meant, but got nothing ;-;
I am actually confused, is this a bug or something?

[blazing python]

The nurse saying it doesn’t seem to be responding doesn’t sound right at all, but what is the issue? Is it just her saying that or is something wrong with your party now?

[uneven cloak]

just her saying the thing, I said this in general but someone said to ask in here so that's why I said it here (sorry if that wasn't right to do)

[blazing python]

No that is fine for you to ask, just wanted to see if it results in an issue with your party. I’ve actually never heard of that happening before

[uneven cloak]

ah ;-;

I'm just gonne keep playing and come back if my game messes up or somthin

[blazing python]

Yeah, that sounds good or if you see anything weird try and take a screenshot if possible as well

[uneven cloak]

I will, thanks

Ok I might have figured it out, it might have been a small glitch due me spamming enter after whiting out, I went back to where it happened, and I believe this is what it was.
thank you for the help with this

[solid patio]

I'm dealing with a really random performance issue.

After the latest launcher update my game has been freezing way more than it usually does and straight up crashed while evolving a pokemon

[solid patio]

Any loading screen (minus moving between areas) will sit there for minutes at a time.

I reinstalled, switched to preloaded, and tried restarting my pc and it's still happily sitting on this menu after 5 minutes

o h

I got into the game and just to check, it's still doing it. Looking at pokemon in my party, evolving them, saving and loading the game. Basically just anything that causes a loading screen is drawn out

[late bane]

if switching to preloaded does not fix the lag get a better potato

[blazing python]

Yeah we have info on how to improve performance but installing all of the sprites is our most optimized method. [More info](#tech-support message)

[peak violet]

Hey I was just able to download the sprites like the guide described. I am still encountering that issue after battles or leaving houses I get a black screen for 20 seconds.

[turbid terrace]

Hey @peak violet! 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.

[trim fox]

You're also using the preloaded exe like the guide describes?

[coral locust]

getting this error even after downloading sprites for preloaded :(

[late bane]

did you download the preloaded sprites or the monthly sprite pack

[coral locust]

i downloaded the ones from here although after seeing the "there's no official website" i realized i may have made a mistake

[late bane]

if you downloaded from something clamining to be an official site delete anything you downloaded and reinstall and virus scan

[coral locust]

got it

[obsidian haven]

hey, I accidently downloaded from the first site that appears when you google this game, is that a virus?

[late bane]

that is indeed a scam it might contain a virus so delete virus scan then download from here

[shell elm]

is there any way to reset your pokedex back to 0

[trim fox]

New Game+ would be the only way

[latent palm]

We need to have winrar to run the game, right?

[late bane]

no

[blazing python]

Winrar is just to extract files

[latent palm]

Sweet, thank you!!

[shell elm]

what does "Set Encounters Version" do

[late bane]

where are you seeing that?

[shell elm]

its in debug mode

[late bane]

i would assume it would allow you to pick if you want modern or classic mode encounters

[solid patio]

I feel like it's very abnormal lag though. There's really no reason it'd be only the most recent update causing these loading screens. It seems more like it's choosing not to use my disk rather than maxing it or something

[late bane]

well the 6.0 versions have added lots more things so it takes more power to use

[shell elm]

it is just an integer value

[late bane]

then i have no idea what it does

[solid patio]

not 6.0, the absolute newest.

6.0 worked perfectly up until I think yesterday

then the launcher updated and since then the game hasn't wanted to consistently launch

[plush swallow]

error when trying to install

ignore me, 6th time is the charm, randomly worked

[trim fox]

The launcher broke with 6.0.5 so its download was removed, just do a fresh reinstall with the one still in #downloads

[solid patio]

turns out I was just reinstalling the wrong thing <:)

Thank you.

Hey @worldly widget! This game is not made for mobile! The only workaround is to install JoiPlay, but any performance issues, bugs, or issues with Android are not fixable. No dedicated mobile version of IF will be developed in the future.

An installation guide for Android can be found HERE.

[worldly widget]

Woops, nvm then

[peak violet]

😅

I thought that was if we had that preference

I will try that, thanks

[dusty venture]

Hey how do I delete save just wondering

[wary mulch]

I think I'm running into a small problem. I put on the randomizer, and allowed fusions to randomly spawn as well. The thing is, there is only one kind of pokemon that spawns at day, and one kind of pokemon that spawns at night. Has anyone else run into this, or is this supposed to happen?

[blazing python]

In your game folder, there is a file named SaveFile. It is a shortcut that takes you to your save folder

[blazing python]

If you go to a Pokemon center and talk to update man(guy in black suit usually 2F) he has the randomizer settings. You can reshuffle the Pokemon from there

[wary mulch]

thank you!

[dusty venture]

Okay thank and one more thing how can I get the game to not be so laggy I’m on the preload launcher and have the missing sprites of and it set to show dna only and it’s only laggy when I walk in grass

[blazing python]

If you already using the preloaded game, that is our most optimized version of the game. You would have to look into making upgrades on your side

[dusty venture]

Okay sounds good

[round trench]

when i press play the game doesnt start anyone know why?

[woven scarab]

Hi! So this has apparently been an ongoing glitch/issue for the mimikyu spawn in the creepy house. The doll won’t move once it’s in the main room making the event unplayable. Just wanted to add it in case someone hasn’t officially said anything ☺️

[peak violet]

Where can I find this?

[trim fox]

In the game folder

[peak violet]

Ah

[trim fox]

It's known, ty though 🙂

[blazing python]

The launcher is buggy and not handling the update correctly. Only workarounds:

1. Try the repair game option in launcher settings on the top right.
2. Delete your whole launcher folder and reinstall from scratch
3. Don’t use the launcher, it is buggy and not our primary installer: **Written Guide: ** [Guide](#tech-support message)

[blazing python]

More info here if you need it: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1186559556772438126

[round trench]

thanks right now im reinstalling the game i think

[blazing python]

I suggest installing without the launcher like i mentioned in step 3.

[round trench]

ok i am doing that right now i just wasnt sure

[peak violet]

Thank you, it working now!

[round trench]

where is the game after im done downloading?

[blazing python]

In the same folder installer or update .bat is in

[round trench]

i dont see that

[blazing python]

If you don’t see the files, that means there was an error on the window

[round trench]

oh ok

[round trench]

should i try again?

[blazing python]

Yeah run it again and You can take a screenshot when it says it finished so we can help troubleshoot it

[round trench]

sure

this is what is says

[leaden zealot]

I cant get the triple fusion sprites to load

I installed them from the triples folder in the full sprite pack but they dont show up

why and how do I fix this

[blazing python]

it says it failed due your connection to the game repo disconnecting. We have more info for that: [HERE](#tech-support message)

[round trench]

oh yea my internet sucks thanks for the help

[blazing python]

it is broken right now. More info: [HERE](#1195043740855832586 message)

you can replace the 3rd fusion base sprite, but alt sprites won't load for them

[cinder scaffold]

Please help, my Lycanroc (Midnight) has no cry, even though the cry files are there, it wont play when opening summary.

[sturdy ridge]

If there is a different place i should ask i would be happy to, i havent played in awhile and was looking to get back into it. Would it be recommended to completely delete the application and dynamic_5.2.1 file and redownload everything? Thanks for the help and i appreciate you all.

[blazing python]

You can also download InfiniteFusion.zip from [HERE](#downloads message) and then extract the zip. Move the folder and INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat into your current game folder.

When you run INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat, it will update your current game files to the latest

[sturdy ridge]

Thats the exact reason i wanted to ask as i wasn't sure if it would just update or not. I appreciate you response as well! What would you recommend with the sprites since some may have been updated and new ones may have been added. Same thing of just downloading and letting it update as well?

[blazing python]

the game will automatically get the sprites as you encounter pokemon. If you wanted to just download all the sprites up front, you can use our Sprite Installer: SPRITE INSTALLER

[sturdy ridge]

Thanks again for that, i appreciate it. i didn't want to download it over the other and it cause an issue.

[blazing python]

yeah no worries! Even if you did delete your whole folder and reinstalled, it doesn't touch your save so it is safe to do either way

[summer zodiac]

Whenever I copy the full sprite pack from downloads and try putting it in my graphics folder

the folder suddenly stops responding and when I change what I'm copying to it not being the sprite folder it starts responding again

any time the Sprite folder is anywhere near the graphics folder it stops responding

and I have to force close

[blazing python]

you should use the sprite installer instead then

the reason is because the folder contains over 100k sprites so your computer seems to not be able to handle it

[summer zodiac]

Alright

[summer zodiac]

My antivirus is flagging IF as malware

that was the problem

[blazing python]

did you download the game from this discord or a website?

[summer zodiac]

the website

[blazing python]

We have no official website

[summer zodiac]

Oh

[blazing python]

that has viruses...

[summer zodiac]

Just uninstalled

going to do virus sweep

[blazing python]

the only authentic way to get the game is from this discord or our video guides

[summer zodiac]

Thanks for letting me know before stuff got really bad

Uninstalling and doing a full virus scan.....

then going to install from discord 💀

Thankfully I have AV/AM software so this shouldn't be too bad

[This is addressed in our 2nd pin in this discord channel, Click this message to view it](#tech-support message)

[cedar pumice]

I don't really know how to explain this but every hour of game or so the fps drop more and more, i have a preety decent pc so i don't think a pokemon will be a render problem for it. It's just like a progressive drop of fps idk

when i restart the game it comes back to normal tho

[rigid silo]

[This is addressed in our 1st pin in this discord channel, Click this message to view it](#tech-support message)

having a "decent" pc isn't really descriptive. I have a ~$5k pc and the game will struggle on dynamic, or preloaded speed x5.

The problem isn't how demanding the game is graphically or computationally, the main performance problem comes from the sheer amount of files it has to load/read. I think we are moving towards the 500.000 files already

combine that with the fact that the engine on which the game is made isn't made to handle that, the fact that many people ignore DRAM/read/write speeds on drives when buying/building a pc, and shitty internet, and real-time virus scan being active

and you will have a bad performance even if you would have an rtx 4090 + i9-14900

based on the factors i mentioned before

[bitter sigil]

The infinite fusion download on Pokecommunity is safe right

[fast bolt]

Yes. The only safe places are here and pokecommunity

thanks

how do i downlode pokemon infinite fusions?

[jolly narwhal]

hello there

me and a friend are planning to do a randomizer nuzlock soulink

but..

how can we randomize in this game?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @jolly narwhal! Do you have questions about Randomized mode? Find more info about it and its various settings on the Wiki: https://infinitefusion.fandom.com/wiki/Randomized_Mode
Note: You need to have an existing save file before the game lets you restart in Randomized mode!

[rigid silo]

Its an option when starting a new game, but it cant be done on your first ever save.

Hello 👋🏻 I’m trying to install the game on steam deck. The video guide uses a windows pc but previously I’d used a guide where everything was done by desktop mode on the steam deck. Can anyone point me in the direction as I’m going crazy trying to find it…. The game ran absolutely fine but i struggled to update it so removed everything with the aim of starting from scratch 😅

I don’t have access to a pc.

[rigid silo]

[Installation Guides are here, Click This Message](#tech-support message)

[brazen nova]

Hi it has nothing to do with Infinite fusion but i didn’t know where else to ask. My SD card is not showing and when i try to get to it it says that there is no attributed paths how can i fix this please ? Sorry if it’s in french

[pale axle]

There’s only a video guide which uses windows, I don’t have a computer unfortunately

Is there a written guide to install using only the steam deck?

[verbal timber]

i think you need a pc to download it on steam deck

[verbal timber]

yeah this channel is only to help with tech related problems with Infinite Fusion

you are on your own for anything outside the purview

[rigid vale]

Normal game works fine with heavy lags between waiting screens, so I'm trying the preloaded- game but receive the attached error 'MultiSaves.rb' line 166

[blazing python]

How did you install the game? A website or discord?

[rigid vale]

from pokecommunity.com

[scarlet pumice]

Im trying to download the sprites but i get a pop up saying "Battlers folder is missing! check errorlog.txt in your tool's folder" what do i do?

[blazing python]

Check the error log.txt in the installer folder as it says

That will provide more details on why it failed for us to help if you share it here

[grim bear]

help

[blazing python]

Don’t click or press buttons while the game is loading

[scarlet pumice]

what do i do?

[blazing python]

says there your connection to the sprite repo was disconnected. this is usually due to your internet being unstable or anti virus blocking the connection.

[scarlet pumice]

ok, thanks

[grim bear]

whate

[blazing python]

did you try moving sprites around?

we usually see this when the person didn't move it to the correct folder

[blazing python]

?

[grim bear]

all and well there, right?

[blazing python]

Sure but that screenshot doesn't help much. You would have to show inside your battlers folder and your custombattlers folder

[blazing python]

CustomBattlers looks good

[blazing python]

This looks good as well. So it looks like you just imported custom sprites

Try these instructions below:
Reset your sprite pull (you have to be connected to the internet):

1. Turn off Download Sprites option in the setting inside the game. Like where your game volume is. This is the 4th option
2. Leave the menu by pressing Enter on Confirm or pressing B (if you don't, this won't work).
3. Go back to Settings.
4. Turn option back on.

I would recommend after doing this save your game, completely close the game and reopen and try again.

[rigid silo]

excuse you?
There is only a video guide which uses windows, you say?

There most definitely are 2 different guides for steam deck, which both only use the steam deck. So I am not sure where you are getting your information, but for sure not from what I linked.

Be it video guides, but there are guides.

[blazing python]

There’s only a video guide which uses windows, I don’t have a computer unfortunately
Steam Deck tutorial is done all on the Steam Deck as well. You don't need a computer. What you see is Desktop mode on your Steam Deck. You get to Desktop mode pressing Steam -> Power -> Switch to Desktop

[onyx hound]

what's this

wow that photo is not good huh

[rigid silo]

you can make nice partial screenshots with win+shift+s

[onyx hound]

im on discord mobile

[turbid terrace]

Hey @onyx hound! This game is not made for mobile! The only workaround is to install JoiPlay, but any performance issues, bugs, or issues with Android are not fixable. No dedicated mobile version of IF will be developed in the future.

An installation guide for Android can be found HERE.

[rigid silo]

would be nice to see the errorlog.txt it mentions

[onyx hound]

one minute

[rigid silo]

no rush

[onyx hound]

have to go do something be like ten minutes lol

the error text is long, can i just copy paste it?

[rigid silo]

Sure

[blazing python]

fetch-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet fatal: early EOF

[onyx hound]

oh no i leaked my last name

lol

[blazing python]

Your internet connection disconnected during the process

[onyx hound]

anyway brb

[blazing python]

I deleted the file for you

[rigid silo]

Lmao yeah get rid of that

[onyx hound]

so what do i do

[rigid silo]

Fair point, it can be many things.
The error you have is documented here with some potential fixes.
[This is addressed in our 2nd pin in this discord channel, Click this message to view it](#tech-support message)

[blazing python]

that is for the installer though, so downloading those files won't solve

but the other stuff might help. Would recommend rebooting your internet or try until it goes through. This is purely a connection issue on your end

[abstract lake]

Hey👋 I have a question
When a fight in the game finish or I enter in a house, the transition black screen is very long, like 20 seconds sometimes (that can be longer than some random fights😭) at start it was ok, but by the time it become very annoying. Idk if it's normal or not

[turbid terrace]

Hey @abstract lake! 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.

[blazing python]

Read our pinned messages

[rigid silo]

Yeah so skip the X'ed parts. thats for game installs rather than sprite installs (where your problem is)

[abstract lake]

OK thanks

[onyx hound]

so when ive done those things, what do i then do? start the entire process from the start again?

[rigid silo]

Yeah retry the sprite install

[onyx hound]

so open up that black box thing that does a few steps?

[rigid silo]

The sprite installer, same thing that gave the error

[onyx hound]

the thing in the background here?

[rigid silo]

correct

[onyx hound]

like where i select the folder

okay thanks

[sterile pivot]

Hello! I just downloaded this game for the first time and got this error. What should I do to fix it?

[rigid silo]

I gotta do some work now, but im sure others here can help if it still doesn't work.
You might just have to wait a bit for someone

[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. Delete everything INSIDE the folder, don't delete the folder itself

[sterile pivot]

It worked! Thank you very much!

[scarlet pumice]

what do i do, im trying to download the sprites but this shows up

[blazing python]

look at the installer. It tells you where your errorlog.txt is gives more details why it failed

[scarlet pumice]

it says "check errorlog.txt in your tool's folder" but where do i find the tools folder?

[blazing python]

where you double clicked the sprite installer to open it

in that folder

[scarlet pumice]

thx found it

[onyx hound]

the sprite thing hasn't broken so far. that's a good sign

not finished yet but it was broken by this point last time

[blazing python]

yeah should be good hopefully

[onyx hound]

in the meantime, how much faster should this make my game? i know you can't give an exact time, but should it just a little bit faster? or a decent amount?

tbh i don't really know what im even doing. just what the guide told me which somebody else told me to do

haha it worked

the game has loaded so i can no longer see the guide. that is an issue

[blazing python]

yeah the sprite installer with auto open the game for you

since the game needs to process the sprites

[onyx hound]

will i have to do anything else afterwards?

[blazing python]

if you want to play preloaded yes

just turn off a setting

[onyx hound]

which setting will that be

[blazing python]

download sprites, it shows in the instructions

[onyx hound]

by instructions you mean the guide? or will the game tell me

[blazing python]

no the guide

[onyx hound]

i can't see the guide because i have the game open

actually i can take it off full screen in the settings can't i

whoopsie

[blazing python]

yup or minimize it to take a look

[onyx hound]

so i close the game, open the pre loaded game, turn off downloading sprites and im done? am i understanding that right

sorry im probably being too cautious lol

[blazing python]

yup correct

[onyx hound]

yay it is done

now to test if it's faster

woah it is

it took 5 seconds to teleport to a far away city

that took a minute and a half before

okay ill stop filling this channel. thanks

[blazing python]

Nope you are good! Glad it is an improvement!

[reef oak]

How do I download the game and emulate it?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @reef oak! Are you having trouble downloading the game? You can find the download of the game in #downloads! To run it, simple unzip all of the files into a folder, then click the .bat file. Be mindful that the game takes a few minutes to load, don't touch the black window before it does!

[blazing python]

it isn't a ROM. If you went to a site that said it is a ROM, that is a fake website

[reef oak]

I just got a computer and I want to play

[blazing python]

all our guides are pinned in this channel

[reef oak]

But idk how to use a computer to well😂

[blazing python]

Windows:

• **Written Guide: ** [Guide](#tech-support message)
• **Primary Installer (Lightweight): ** Video

Well there is a written guide and video for you

[reef oak]

Thank you🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

[onyx hound]

what

[blazing python]

did you download the game original from discord or a website?

[onyx hound]

the discord

i was in lavender town, in the pokemon centre and it suddenly put me there in that screen and froze

i did alt f4 so idk if that's what caused that error

probably should've included that already. whoops

[blazing python]

well yeah you are asking it to close the game and this error is related to not being able to properly load the game...😅

[onyx hound]

any idea why it went back in time and froze randomly?

[onyx hound]

i didn't mention it because it took like 20 seconds to actually happen

so wasn't sure if it was the alt f4

[blazing python]

freezing is just based on your computer

error messages come from the game which we can troubleshoot, but we can't troubleshoot freezing

[onyx hound]

the time travel to a random area with a random screen doesn't help narrow it down?

[blazing python]

no since that isn't anything common that happens to any user

[onyx hound]

odd

eh whatever

[reef oak]

Idk how to download it something about windows protection blocking me from downloading it

[verbal timber]

more info, run anyway

[reef oak]

Yeah

[verbal timber]

then there you go, you can download it now

[reef oak]

Thank you I just didnt want to fuck anything up😂

Idk what to do anymore😢

[blazing python]

yeah says your computer can't support the game. You could try updating your graphics driver to see if that helps but this is a graphics card error

[reef oak]

Idk what that means😔😔😢

[dusty venture]

Why is infinite fusion so poorly optimized

[dusty venture]

Like I’ve play a tone of Pokémon fan games n time hacks n this one has the worst optimization by far

[chrome spoke]

Is there a good way to, code wise, find where PIF is installed, and if the sprite pack is installed?
Writing an external tool (chatmon), that needs to run side by side with PIF, so, uh, having both the game and the tool download the same image feels a bit redundant (plus, of course, I can rip out my current complicated code for the simpler 'just look in this folder' :'))

[turbid terrace]

Hey @chrome spoke! 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]

I don't understand the need for this? The game automatically downloads the sprites and their sprite packs

We also have a sprite installer that installs all of the sprites for you up front vs as you encounter pokemon

[chrome spoke]

let me see if I can't grab a screenshot, think that'll be simpler..

Essentially, it's a fun thing for when people play pokemon infinite fusion, that lets their twitch chat talk as the pokemon

[blazing python]

So you are asking where PIF is installed? That depends user per user

they download the game in a zip and place it where they want after installing

the sprites are installed in the Graphics folder inside their game folder

Graphics/CustomBattlers has the custom sprites
Graphics/Battlers has the auto gen sprites

[chrome spoke]

Oh yeah. I was looking at the pif launcher from googling, since I had a faint recollection that someone said that it was going to be builtin in a bit. There was a button in there to automatically download the sprite collection, that worked out.

So, no registry keys, none of that, just zip file as standard, alright. So.. on first launch in pokemon infinite fusion mode in my application.. the best way would be for it to open a directory picker?
Is there anything that would specifically suggest that the sprite downloader had been ran vs, say, the player having ran into a pokemon already? As in, if I just check if CustomBattlers/1.1.png exists, that could just mean that the end user had ran into bulbasaur.

[blazing python]

the launcher is not the primary way to install the game and it is currently broken for most people so we removed the link to download it. But that also installs the games and you pick your location.

The main installation is a zip that installs the game files in that same folder. The folder can be placed anywhere.

[chrome spoke]

Gotcha.

[blazing python]

Also what do you mean by sprite downloader?

[chrome spoke]

#tech-support message

[blazing python]

Like the default way the game installs sprites?

[chrome spoke]

Preloading

[blazing python]

the installer installs every pokemon sprite up to date

it itself tells you if the sprites are or are not there after installation to check if it failed or not

[blazing belfry]

can someone help me?

[blazing python]

so after running it, you will have all of the sprites available in the game

[blazing python]

sure what's up!

[blazing belfry]

So i download the megaman sprite installer and it says select graphics folder. But i cant find the graphics folder in the file i downloaded

[blazing python]

the Graphics folder is inside your game folder

[blazing belfry]

do i need to download the game and the sprite installer?

[chrome spoke]

I want to be able to tell the end user what to do in a helpful way, and to make the tool handhold the end user as far as possible. (I am thankful for the help btw, you are very sweet, if my tone sounds off it's my tired autism automatic trying-to-remember-what-the-heck-i-have-been-up-to thing)

[blazing python]

yeah you need to install the game for it to put the sprites into it

[blazing belfry]

wheres the game download?

[blazing python]

Windows:

• **Written Guide: ** [Guide](#tech-support message)
• **Primary Installer (Lightweight): ** Video

[blazing python]

I am still confused on what you want to tell them? We have written guides for how to install the game and how to install the sprites as well

I am also working on 2.0 of the sprite installer so that it will install the game as well

Install the game: [Guide](#tech-support message)
Install the sprites: Guide

Both have videos as well

[chrome spoke]

"ChatMon can't find the game automatically, so you will have to pick out the folder with the Game.exe in it"
if (test_to_figure_out_if_pif_is_preloaded_failed)
"Uh oh! For ChatMon to be able to run, Pokemon Infinite Fusion needs to have all of the sprites preloaded. Go to https://github.com/x-megaman/InfiniteFusionPreloaded/releases/ and follow the instructions there, then restart ChatMon"

Something like that?

[blazing python]

Got it. I think it would be easier if you have the user, after installing ChatMon, select where their InfiniteFusion folder is.
Then it would be easy to look for Game.exe in that folder for that first message.

Then just to let you know, the user is not required to have all of the sprites up front to play the game. It is only required if you have performance issues or want to play preloaded to play offline. So are you requiring a user to install all of the sprites to use it?

[blazing belfry]

Hey how do i delete it? it says i cant, i dont have enough room to download this stuff

[blazing python]

Just press delete on the folder?

[blazing belfry]

It says i need permission from my desktop

[blazing python]

then whoever owns the laptop or has permissions can delete it.

[blazing belfry]

But i own it.

[blazing python]

you shouldn't need permissions to delete something from your desktop

but you would need to google that since that isn't tech support for the game. That is something for your laptop

[blazing belfry]

Thats really odd. i had to open the file and delete the thing inside it to delete it

[chrome spoke]

Considering my current code with bugs looks like https://pastebin.com/Le0HgnPL , it's either adding more layers and more code to make chatmon keep downloading duplicates, or doing a 180, having the end user preload pokemon infinite fusion.
Preloading infinite fusion makes sense given that the only people that will ever use ChatMon is twitch streamers anyway, having the additional tiny bit of stability might be worth it anyway.
Not like there is going to be a ton of users either way...

My original plan was not to preload, since I figured doing the extra couple of requests would be less heavy than the alternative, but not actually sure.

Right now, I have issues with self fusions, and not having alternate pictures and a bunch of other issues. So taking an additional look and wondering if I have just seriously overthinked things

(for the last message, want to clarify, that's because my stupid code, not yours)

[blazing python]

yeah it is just asking a user to install 3-4 gbs though 😅

since there are ~311k sprites
