@blazing python Help

[blazing python]

where the 2 pokemon are fusing? or what do you mean?

[scenic vine]

Oh😅 , thank you for your help I can atleast try to download them when needed

[bleak marsh]

No just at the beginning

[blazing python]

if it is black screen, that is normal on android. This depends on your device and how fast it is

[bleak marsh]

Just stuck at this

[blazing python]

yeah that is just loading. The game isn't made for android so it isn't optimize for it

[bleak marsh]

So do I just wait or what?

[blazing python]

did you use my android guide to install the game?

[empty dew]

My anti-virus doesn't seem to think anything is wrong. Which is good news... I think. Also, for what it's worth - after going through here and seeing how to install. Looks almost exactly the same and references. Wondering if someone just threw that site together because it's a little hard to make it all the way here. Not sure, but good to know no reports of long term craziness

[bleak marsh]

yes

[blazing python]

then yes just wait

[bleak marsh]

ok

[blazing python]

well that is what a scam is. Makes it seem real to trick ppl 😅

[empty dew]

Of course, and it could be the actual game... but with some friendly viruses alongside it. Gotta get that thing taken down somehow

[scenic vine]

Sorry to bother again but is there a guide for preloaded joiplay for infinite fusion.

[turbid terrace]

Hey @scenic vine! 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.

[blazing python]

It is the same guide above, the only difference is the game files

[scenic vine]

Thank you

[dense gulch]

Is it just me or why can't I open the preloaded version?

[blazing python]

it requires you to set it up to use it

if you don't want to setup the sprites open the regular game

[dense gulch]

Ok, how do I do it?

[blazing python]

Read the top of the channel. All instructions and guides are pinned

[dense gulch]

Also, is it just me or is the veridivian jungle bugged? I just entered it and it pitch black

It only comes back to normal after a pokemon encounter

[fringe cloud]

Hey I downloaded new version 6.0.5 and it's now unzipped. How do I move my save file over?

What's it called, which folder is it in, and what folder do I put in for new game (presumably same folder name?)

[blazing python]

you were on android right?

[fringe cloud]

Yea

Google Pixel 6 plus

[blazing python]

you just move it inside the game folder. Same folder where Game.exe is in

[fringe cloud]

So I take the game.exe and move it into the main folder?

[blazing python]

No you only move your save file

it is named "File A.rxdata" for example

[dense gulch]

??????????

I got it from github

[blazing python]

oh my bad, I forgot to update the version. Let me fix that really quick

[dense gulch]

BRUH

https://tenor.com/view/sad-gif-18026986

[blazing python]

I updated it now. Delete the folder you have and redownload please

[dense gulch]

ok

[dense gulch]

I deleted the installer and redownloaded it to download the game and this is what i got

[blazing python]

you can click ok and keep going. It is just notifying you that you downloaded the game already

it doesn't stop you from doing it again if you want, it is just saying we noticed you installed the game already and if you wanted to update the game use the other option instead.

[hasty carbon]

for some reason im getting fusions in the wild despite having that setting off in randomized, is there a reason or is this just a thing

[dense gulch]

Ok, now I just wait for the prompt for the extra sprites to open up? Cus I got that when I closed the command window

[blazing python]

you can use the sprite menu if you want sprites or after installing the game you can select yes on the prompt as well

[rigid silo]

for 1, fusions happen in the wild naturally with a chance (even on normal/modern mode)
second, I think that random mode is either only custom fused or just everything. I do not think there is an option for only non-fused. but I might be mistaken

Its been a while since I started a new game

[hasty carbon]

ok i was thinking it bugged and put the fused setting on, but makes sense if its a chance

[dense gulch]

Tf?

[blazing python]

can you click details

[dense gulch]

Later

I'm watching TV rn

[blazing python]

kk and interesting it says the operation was canceled by the user

[dense gulch]

I didn't cancel it

[blazing python]

We will see what the details say whenever you get a chance

[dense gulch]

Ok

[dense gulch]

Tf?

[blazing python]

yeah it just says there that it tried opening the script to install the sprites and it was cancelled. You can try closing and retrying. The error isn't pointing to anything failing

[sharp flume]

i added the files to the correct folder and my sprites still don't load in, what do i do?

[chilly cedar]

You put them in graphics

[sharp flume]

I did

[chilly cedar]

So are they just showing up as question marks or not at all?

[subtle nexus]

Was talking to Giovanni in mt.ember before the Zapmolcuno fight

[tough violet]

why is installing this game so much harder than 2 years ago

[whole bear]

hey i had that same issue when i tried to download the game awhile back. if you click on the pinned messages for this channel, the first pinned message will have a directory with a lot of helpful links. one of those is labeled "(game and sprite installer)". if you go there, it will tell you how to download the sprite installer which is what fixed that error pop up for me. hope i could help!

[fast bolt]

You're trying to play preloaded without the preloaded sprites

Either open Game instead to play dynamic, or get the sprites from the pins

It's not that hard if you follow the install guides in the pins.

That's what they're there for

[dense gulch]

What if I were to download the full zipfile of the sprites and put it on graphics?

[fast bolt]

The one in #downloads does nothing for a new game

If you want to play offline or preloaded, you specifically needs the ones here in #tech-support in the pins.

If you have good internet, you don't need any

The game will download all of the sprites as you come across new fusions in game

[dense gulch]

i need the installer?

[fast bolt]

If you want to play offline or preloaded, you need either the installer or manual instructions right next to it.

[rigid silo]

Since you did not provide the full error, a couple of questions:

What version are you on?
Where did you get your download?
Did you randomize your game?

[subtle nexus]

Version 6.0.5
I downloaded the official launcher from poke Community
I haven't randomised my game

[rigid silo]

Try talking to the update man in a pokecenter and have him "fix game".
This was a problem in an older version (and/or fake downloads), and should be fixed by now.

[sterile pivot]

i can't launch the preloaded game

[rigid silo]

because you did not follow our guide

[fast bolt]

Did you install the preloaded sprites from the pinned message in this channel?

NOT the pack from #downloads

[sterile pivot]

what guide

[fast bolt]

[steep cipher]

I got this error when trying to run the game for the very first time using the launcher

not preloaded version, just the normal one

[rigid silo]

where did you get your download from?

Because this for sure should not be happening on non-preloaded

The icon does look like preloaded though, dynamic has a different icon.

[steep cipher]

Yeah i got the download from the reddit, I figured it out, the preloaded option was on by accident and I didnt have preloaded sprites downloaded. Its all good

[rigid silo]

I think the reddit is a fine source, since I just checked and their links point to the same source as the discord links.
But for the future, your best chances at getting updates/installs is this discord.

[dense gulch]

Just extracted the file, what do the do next?

It's the one that's clicked on

[rigid silo]

You do not need that

like, never

Please just follow [this guide](#tech-support message) to install preloaded properly

[dense gulch]

sorry, but i cant install preloaded via the launcher for some reason

[rigid silo]

Please just read the link I sent, there is also a manual guide there

[dense gulch]

yea, but there isnt a graphics folder

[rigid silo]

there is.

[dense gulch]

This is what I'm seeing after clicking the file

wait

[rigid silo]

why are you downloading the sprite pack...

[dense gulch]

is custimbattlers the graphics file?

[rigid silo]

nowhere in the guide it tells you to download the 1-96 sprite pack

Reading is important, take your time, read every word.

There is no need to rush

[steep cipher]

bro is being babied 😭

[fast bolt]

I told you already, that pack does nothing

[violet basin]

I have the game on linux so do I have the most recent sprites ?

[rigid silo]

Yes

if you followed the guide that is

[violet basin]

ok thank you

[sterile pivot]

I'm repeatedely encountering this problem and don't find the fix, is there one ?

ok I found the fix

[rancid star]

Hello

help me

i cant launch the game

[turbid terrace]

Hey @rancid star! Are you having trouble starting the game? Here are a few common errors you might be experiencing:

If you're getting the "missing Game.ini" error, your game is not finding its necessary folders for some reason. Here's a list of things that may fix the issue:

1. Make sure that you have extracted the files from the ZIP, and aren't running the game straight from the zipped folder.
2. Make sure the game.exe file is in the folder with everything else. You might've moved it while trying to make a shortcut or something.
3. Rename the folder with the extracted files to a name without numbers or special characters, e.g. "PokemonInfiniteFusion".
4. Move the entire folder somewhere else on your computer. Moving it to the desktop seems to work for most people.
5. Redownload and re-extract the game in full.

---

If you are launching v5, and your screen is stuck on black at startup, don't worry, it's normal. Leave the game running for a few minutes and it will work eventually.

Do not click on the window during this, otherwise you'll get the error below and the game will close.

[terse flint]

Help please

My game deleted completely

[rigid silo]

Then I guess you'd need to reinstall

[terse flint]

What i want to say is that my progress is gone and i don't know why

[rigid silo]

Well, looks like your save was deleted. Joiplay stores them in the game folder, you could go in there with a file manager and check

[covert jacinth]

What should I do if I've completed quests but they remain ongoing in my log? The rarest fish and First Contact part 2 specifically. I have the prism scale and Deoxys

[rigid silo]

which also means, a reinstall WILL delete save files on mobile.

[terse flint]

Im in mobile but i didn't reinstall it

[turbid terrace]

Hey @terse flint! 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]

Finishing quest often requires talking to the quest giver again.

[covert jacinth]

I've tried that for rarest fish but the first contact guys are gone from bond bridge

[rigid silo]

Like I said, I do not have magical powers and do not know what your device set-up is and what all you have been doing.
the advice I can give is to check the game folder with your file manager to confirm if there really arent any saves in there.

[terse flint]

Ok

[rigid silo]

Sadly I have little knowledge of the quests, maybe some game-help geniuses can help you out on this one

[covert jacinth]

okay thank you

[rigid silo]

Keep in mind, the game was never designed to be played on mobile. you will run into many problems which we will not be able to solve.

[rancid star]

when i do what it's write it close

it write "Press any key to continue"

[rigid silo]

Write error: no space left on device
You have run out of storage space on your device. this is something you will have to clear yourself.

Thank you for the nice screenshot btw, thats how we like them

[quasi sorrel]

hi guys even though i have already installed it. it comes up with only install option, makes a windows error screen and then gets stuck on this. Left it open whilst i went for a 30 min walk no change please help? 🙂

[blazing python]

The launcher is buggy. It 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)

[pearl brook]

im trying to change leaf/green in game character to dawn, would this sprite work or corrupt?

oops

i tried replacing the trainer sprite

and this happened

i think it was wrong to delete the oringal and replace the name

[blazing python]

Yup you messed it up. If you type “how do I change trainer sprites” in #ask-a-bot it tells you the files you need to change

[pearl brook]

yea i tried replacing just 2 of them since i couldnt find a full one for the character i wanted in

how do i get them back?

i replaced the trchar.001 png and trainer_POKEMONCHARACTER_Leaf png

[blazing python]

Link to Message for Reference -> #ask-a-bot message

It currently says

for the boy sprites:
for the overworld: in the Graphics/Character folder;

for the girl sprites:
for the overworld: in the Graphics/Character folder;

The folder should actually be Graphics/Character/players

[rigid silo]

backing up/making copies of files when undertaking something like file-editing is a good habit.
But hindsight is 20/20

[blazing python]

To get the file back that you deleted, you probably could rerun INSTALL_OR_UPDATE. Bat again

[pearl brook]

someone said the worst that could happen is my spite looking funny

[pearl brook]

is there a video of someone doing this?

[blazing python]

Not that I have

But it is just moving sprites to that folder

Graphics/Characters/player

[pearl brook]

(for later)

yipeee im dawn

[ember tapir]

Any way to fix screen tearing?

[blazing python]

not that I know of. Only performance tips we have are pinned at the top of this channel

[craggy heron]

Hey after a wild battle the game has no overworld music. Is this a known bug or is it just happening to me.

[fast bolt]

Music has been buggy for as long as the game has existed

[quasi blaze]

Ended up starting a new game since I kinda died and I’m not good, and the error popped up again when changing sprites. Managed to get a picture of it this time

[blazing python]

This is a known issue when looking at alt sprites. If you navigate through the pokedex entries in the alt sprite screen and press the up/down arrows to navigate through them it causes this error

More info if you need: #1197765644872060988 message

[quasi blaze]

Thank you very much

[shadow tusk]

When i try to fuse pokemon only one option shows up instead of 2 like in the videos ive seen. Is that something they changed or do i need to fix something with my game?

[blazing python]

that usually happens if you are missing the sprites

Try resetting your sprite pull

**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.

[craggy heron]

Is there a way I can fix it or am I just out of luck? It's cool if there's not, I'm just curious

[blazing python]

people usually restart the game a couple times and it fixes itself

[shadow tusk]

ill give it a shot thanks

[craggy heron]

Alright thanks I'll try that

[analog surge]

How do I know if I downloaded the dynamic version or not? Downloaded it a long time ago and cant remember

[fast bolt]

If you downloaded it a long time ago, you'll need to redownload to update.

If your old version was at least 5.1, your save will be fine

It's not in the same place as the rest of the game and will not be touched by deleting it.

[analog surge]

Where do I check that?

[fast bolt]

Title screen

[analog surge]

Im on 6.0.5 I think

[fast bolt]

The new install is both dynamic and preloaded. But for preloaded, you need the sprites in the pins here.

[fast bolt]

Then you're on dynamic unless you're loading game-preloaded.exe

Which means you would have had to install the sprites to make it work

[shadow tusk]

My Fusion screen looks like this instead of giving me 2 options as well as not showing me the types

[fast bolt]

What version does it say on the title screen when you start the game?

[analog surge]

Ok, so I should have all the new sprites automatically?

[fast bolt]

You have no sprites, but will get each one as you encounter each fusion in game. As long as you're connected to internet.

[analog surge]

Ok, thanks, Thought I had to install sprites manually each update

[shadow tusk]

4.9.2 I need to update?

[fast bolt]

That's over 2 years old

[shadow tusk]

oh damn

[fast bolt]

You can't update. Just delete it and start over

?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

[fast bolt]

Follow the guide

[shadow tusk]

got it

thanks

[verbal timber]

note your save is also toast

if you have one

[craggy heron]

Hey I don't have the game sped up but the time in game is definitely not accurate to real time is that intended

[blazing python]

yeah it has its own day/night cycle that doesn't match real world time

[craggy heron]

Ah ok

[sacred latch]

can anyone explain to me, in painfull, super deep detail how to install a single custom sprite? Aegislash/scyther "Roronoa Zoro" sprite. Followed the instructions i got from searching it on this discord, wont work. This is SUPER frustrating as i am not computer illiterate and a gdamn programmer, WTF??

[turbid terrace]

Hey @sacred latch! 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]

we have it documented, but all you do is drop it in a folder with the correct name and you good

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

[sacred latch]

literally screaming internally because this is exactly what i did. installed all 114955.

[blazing python]

the naming of the file must be the correct dex number based on the game's pokedex, not the official dex numbers

[sacred latch]

so 57524.jpg, right?

[blazing python]

did you read the document I provided?

you don't have a period in the file name separating the dex number

[sacred latch]

i will if this doesn´t work, tbh i am at this for 3 hours and my patience for reading another 20 pages is stretched, hopefully understandibly, thin...

[blazing python]

the link I sent you takes you to the like 6 sentences on how to do it....

[sacred latch]

so it´s the numbers of the individual mons, starting with the lower, xxx.xxx.jpg, right? because thats how it´s called....

[blazing python]

also your dex numbers need to be the dex of this game, not the offical dex numbers

[sacred latch]

#then i´ve probably read it about 100 times today

[blazing python]

im basically copy/pasting what you need to do from the doc to here. What is in the doc works. Your issues are:

1. You had no period in the name
2. You are using the wrong dex numbers
3. Has to be a .png not a .jpg

The dex number is also <Head Dex Number>.<Body Dex Number>.png

[sacred latch]

well now i´ve got 123.329.jpg and 329.123.jpg in the folder. just to be sure. honestlky this is so frustrating i dont even wanna use the mon anymore...

[blazing python]

you also are using the wrong file format as the instructions listed

[sacred latch]

hm. thx. very intuitive when all files in the spritepacks are jpg... of course my tiny brain thinks it has to be jpg... I havent been this thoroughly confused scince learning assembly

[blazing python]

all the sprite packs we provide are .png files

[rigid silo]

I think there have been times were .jpg's have slipped through the cracks, as well as some nonexistent naming structures. the game does leave those in the custombattlers folder after indexing. but they are clear mistakes in any case.

[sacred latch]

crash with "Script 001_RPG_Cache.rb line 150; SDLError occured. Error loading image "graphics/custombattles/indexed/329/329.123.png: unsupported image format.

jep im done

thanks for the help anyways guys. reality itself seems to be hellbent on gaslighting me today. like always...

[rigid silo]

is your png 288x288?

[sacred latch]

dont know, assumed it was the right format as i saved it from spritework

it indeed is...

[rigid silo]

then they should be

[blazing python]

can you link here where you got it?

[sacred latch]

last try with an alt version of the sprite, right filename, right format...

one sec discord noob

[rigid silo]

Try having the game index it, instead of placing it in indexed

if you havent already, ofcourse

[blazing python]

well he tried converting a jpg to png

[sacred latch]

thats what i did. how can i link something from the right to post it here in the middle tab?

[sacred latch]

reloaded it

[rigid silo]

you can copy message links and then post them here

[sacred latch]

how, i cant right click anything to get a context menu

cant mark any text either

[blazing python]

this one? https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1147599826872193114

[sacred latch]

yes

brb getting a whisky

btw, any way to revert what i did? If not i bricked a 30+ hour playthrough with this...

[blazing python]

just remove the sprite

and it worked for me

[rigid silo]

yeah same, I just imported it...

[sacred latch]

so reality gaslighting me it is...

[blazing python]

I just right clicked the image. It was already named 329.123.webp but I saved it as 329.123a.png. Moved it to Graphics/CustomBattlers and it says it imported correctly no error

[sacred latch]

tryin with the a at the end

[blazing python]

you should resave the sprite rather than just renaming

and the purpose of adding the a at the end is just to make it an alt sprite since I like my current sprite at 329.123

[sacred latch]

what do you mean? right click, save graphic as and rename it. png at the end and picking "all file types" in the dropdown below it, right?

and it´s still 288x288

[blazing python]

1. Left click the sprite to make it bigger in discord
2. Right click it, click Save Image As
3. Set Save as type to All Files
4. Rename it to 329.123a.png
5. Click save
6. Move that sprite to Graphics/CustomBattlers
7. Open the Game

[sacred latch]

exactly how i do it

[blazing python]

now when I evolved the pokemon I get the same error you got, so the sprite is probably not ready to use

[sacred latch]

well at least now i know im not being gaslit

[blazing python]

unless it is in FusionDex/our sprite packs, it isn't considered ready

[sacred latch]

oh man, thats sad, this was the sprite motivating my friend and i to play in the first place kek

thanks for the help mega and ymir 😄

[fast bolt]

Sprite seems abandoned. Several youtubers have used it though. Which is where people are finding it and trying to get it in their game.

See cool thing on youtube? "I want it!"

[blazing python]

have you asked in #gameplay-help yet?

[lunar minnow]

oh

[blazing python]

they help with in game mechanics. Here is for like installation or bugs

[lunar minnow]

im gonna resend that there (didnt see that channel)

[celest nacelle]

@rigid silo Hey man, you know the version you helped me get, will that version DL the new sprites too?

Tag me when you reply if you can m8

[rigid silo]

Yeah as long you use game.exe it will do it automatically. on preloaded you'd have to update them as they come out in spritepacks. but for now you have everything.

[celest nacelle]

Thanks for confirming bro, looking forward to new sprites! ^O^ Thanks for being ace and kind! :'D xxxxx

[icy fjord]

i want to download on my macbook, can i download the dynamic version?

[rigid silo]

We have a nice Mac install guide [HERE](#tech-support message)

[icy fjord]

is this dynamic or do you have to update each time for sprites

[blazing python]

it is dynamic by default

[icy fjord]

gotcha, so i dont have to update it everytime i need new sprites?

[rigid silo]

It has the preloaded/dynamic also timestamped in the video

[fickle steeple]

Hello, I have a problem with the game preloaded launcher

[blazing python]

because you didnt set it up

you need to install the preloaded sprites

[fickle steeple]

Thanks

[sterile pivot]

um I downloaded and have been playing the game for about a month now but the fps for getting out of battles or buildings is so slow I haven't made much progress

[blazing python]

Read the top of the channel. Our performance information is pinned

[deep linden]

Hi I can't seem to make the game work. I followed the instructions like so:
downloaded pokemoninfinitefusioninstaller.exe and completed game installation. Then I downloaded sprite installer to play with preloade sprites. After full sprite installation process was over, the installer started the game.exe to load all the sprites, but I got this error message: no game scripts specified (missing game.ini)? after which I press ok and that's how it ends... I don't understand... If I try to execute game.exe I get that same error message and the black screen and then the app shuts down

[turbid terrace]

Hey @deep linden! Are you having trouble starting the game? If you're getting the "missing Game.ini" error, your game is not finding its necessary folders for some reason. Here's a list of things that may fix the issue:

1. Make sure that you have extracted the files from the ZIP, and aren't running the game straight from the zipped folder.
2. Make sure the game.exe file is in the folder with everything else. You might've moved it while trying to make a shortcut or something.
3. Rename the folder with the extracted files to a name without numbers or special characters, e.g. "PokemonInfiniteFusion".
4. Move the entire folder somewhere else on your computer. Moving it to the desktop seems to work for most people.
5. Redownload and re-extract the game in full.

[blazing python]

can I see your game folder?

[deep linden]

I read this from the bot and I noticed I had a folder with a number in its name so I'm in the process of redoing everything. As soon as I'm done I'll tell you if I have the same issue

[deep linden]

ok it finally worked for me. Basically what I did wrong was that I installed the game inside the installer folder instead of having it in a separate folder. Installer folder was named like installer2.0 and so it had a number which for some reason made everything fail lol

now that it's in a separate folder it seems to work just fine

[proper zenith]

Will it ever be on iOS?

If so when?

[deep linden]

ok so I'm playing and I noticed there's an issue with time... is it normal that the time changes randomly? It was 3 am like 5 mins ago and now its says it's 8 am... I don't know if it's a bug or that's how it's meant to be... wondering about certain encounters being exclusive to certain times of the day

[blazing python]

no it wont

[proper zenith]

Oh

Nooooo

What other devices will it be on

[blazing python]

the game has its own day/night cycle. it doesn't match the time in your actual day

[blazing python]

it is windows only. We have guides to put it on Mac, Steam Deck and Android, but those are workarounds. They aren't official versions of the game other than windows

[deep linden]

ok but now it literally goes 5 minutes forward everytime I press a key?

[proper zenith]

How is it possible to get on steam deck

[blazing python]

All our guides are pinned to the top right of this channel

[blazing python]

that is just how the game is. If you press Q, you can speed it up more as well

[proper zenith]

I know u wouldn’t add it yo iOS but if you were to do it is it possible

[blazing python]

• ** Steam Deck**: Video

[agile oasis]

What can I do to solve this? Is there another package I gotta download?

[flat onyx]

it gives me this error any time i try to launch the preloaded version is there a fix?

[blazing python]

Sprites are Question Marks or timing out?
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.

[blazing python]

preloaded doesn't work out of the box, you need to set it up

[flat onyx]

i already downloaded the sprite pack and moved it into the graphics folder

[blazing python]

you need to use the sprite installer for preloaded or use the preloaded sprites zip, not the monthly pack

monthly sprites in #downloads as just custom sprites

[honest current]

Can you change the shiny odd for the game ?

[blazing python]

Not without changing the code but it is heavily discouraged to cheat

[honest current]

Did you know the odds ?

[lament oriole]

hello

i need some help with my game

[blazing python]

what's up?

[lament oriole]

well

when i run the update thing it says spieces.zip not found

[blazing python]

that is fine. that is just left over text of a file not used anymore. The new installer fixes that but it doesn't stop your update

[lament oriole]

oh ok thanks so it wont cause any trouble right?

[blazing python]

Correct! it doesn't affect the installation/update at all

[lament oriole]

one last question

actually 2

what is the game based on

[blazing python]

It has kanto and johto region, so similar to crystal version, but has a lot of modern pokemon

[lament oriole]

what engine it is built on i meant

[blazing python]

rpg maker

[lament oriole]

do you know if i can use rng manipulation to get a shiny?

[blazing python]

it is possible to change the code, but it is heavily discouraged to cheat or talk about file manipulation in this discord

we also don't troubleshoot files that are modded

[lament oriole]

rng manipulation isnt cheating tho?

[blazing python]

changing the code/modding it is considered cheating here

[lament oriole]

ok then

thanks for the help anyways

[magic lintel]

I don't know if it is the correct channel but the sprite for Gible + Froslass, with Froslass as head, shows Spiritomb instead of Gible

[blazing python]

This is a known issue. Most gible sprites are having spiritomb sprites

[magic lintel]

oh ok, thanks

[shrewd mason]

not sure if this is the place to ask but the game is saying i can update how do i do that

[blazing python]

you on PC?

[shrewd mason]

yeah i am

[blazing python]

do you have the file named INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat in your game folder?

[shrewd mason]

yeah do i just click that?

[blazing python]

correct

[frank hornet]

Hi! Is there anyone that could help me with installing on mac? I'm following the youtube tutorial by Megaman-exe which uses Wineskin to run it.

[blazing python]

Yup that is my video, you have questions about it?

also I have 2 mac videos, which are you using?

[frank hornet]

Oh woah lol. Yeah I followed it now I have the Wineskin application called Infinite Fusion but it seems to only run the updater when i open it.

Im using the "Official Guide! Download and Install Pokemon Infinite Fusion v6.x for Mac!" video.

[blazing python]

that means you need to change the App to open Game.exe vs the updater

The last part of the video shows how to set it back to Game.exe: https://youtu.be/u2UVsHIwqwk?t=694

I timestamped it above where it shows it

[frank hornet]

Yup that worked perfectly! Thank you!

Is there any way I can turn the game volume down?

[blazing python]

In game options have sliders for volume

[frank hornet]

Ah thanks!

[hushed geyser]

How would one update the game on mobile?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @hushed geyser! 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.

[fast bolt]

The guide the bot just gave you

[restive depot]

Hi guys, could anyone help me setup Infinite fusion please ?

I first downloaded all the sprites and putted them in folder and game was working but was really slow after each dialog or after entering, leaving houses

So i uninstalled it and went with the preloaded game but doesnt work at all

If someone could help me

thanks

[fast bolt]

You downloaded the wrong sprites for preloaded

The ones you need are in the pins of this channel

[restive depot]

i didnt even download anything

i just want the best game speed, what should i do

[blazing python]

Preloaded doesn't work out of the box. You need to use the pinned messages to install the preloaded sprites

[fast bolt]

You said you downloaded the sprites

I assumed that meant you downloaded the pack in #downloads , which is wrong

[restive depot]

oh i mean i tried twice, once with dowloaded sprites and game was slow

so if i understand well

to have the fastest game

i should download sprites and play with preloaded ?

[blazing python]

Correct. The sprite installer can help do it for you as well

[blazing python]

not it

[restive depot]

i downloaded this, is it the right thing to download ?

ohh

ok

[blazing python]

use our Pinned messages

[restive depot]

that's what i did the first time and i was a bit struggling cos there is a lot of things

😅

that's why i asked for help

[blazing python]

yeah if you want to play preloaded, you need everything in there. but it is very large

or use the sprite installer that does it for you

[craggy heron]

hey the "other" is just optional stuff you can choose to use liker other player sprites and stuff right? its not used elsewhere?

[blazing python]

Correct, that whole folder isn't used in game

but you can take stuff out of it if you want

[craggy heron]

i think i might want to swap out my trainer sprite with one of them

im sure i can figure out how on my own but is there a guide for it?

[blazing python]

Link to Message for Reference -> #ask-a-bot message

It currently says

for the boy sprites:
for the overworld: in the Graphics/Character folder;

for the girl sprites:
for the overworld: in the Graphics/Character folder;

Make sure to update this folder instead for the above Graphics/Character/players

[craggy heron]

thanks sorry to bother you

[blazing python]

No worries!

[blazing python]

preloaded doesn't work out of the box. You have to set it up using our sprite installer or open the file named Game instead

[short glade]

ah ok

thanks

[warped saffron]

Having issues with installing the game, I installed it once and am now trying to reinstall it but this time on an external SSD. But now everytime I try to update it, it always says remote origin already exists. These are the two errors I get, the first one being the installer inside the SSD, and the other being my already installed game.

[blazing python]

well which are you trying to fix and remote origin already exists is not an error that causes this to fail

both failed for diff reasons, but want to see which you'd like to fix

[warped saffron]

Ah, the game in my SSD is what I want to fix

[blazing python]

which drive is your SSD?

E or D?

[warped saffron]

Drive E

[blazing python]

Drive E is failing because of an interruption with your connection to the game repo. It says there early disconnect. We have info how to fix: [HERE](#tech-support message)

[warped saffron]

Ah, okay thank you, will try that immediately

[warped saffron]

It finally downloaded, closing all tabs of google is what made the error stop happening, it's most likely a connection problem, thanks for the help

[terse pier]

hello my problem is that i have all the fusion sprites but no normal pokemon sprites they dont even show just black space what should i do

[blazing python]

Can you send a screenshot of your Graphics folder?

[terse pier]

ok can you wait a bit

i am reintsalling the game can you help me with exactly what i should do to import sprites

@blazing python

[blazing python]

sure and also what sprites are you trying to install? just the custom sprites?

[terse pier]

i have download the full sprite pack

1-97

[blazing python]

if you want, you could use the new installer I developed. It installs the game and sprites for you LINK

[terse pier]

bro i have already installed over 1gb

[blazing python]

This is the reason I developed the installer, so it does it for you rather than you spending so much time on it

but if you want to do it manually i can help you also

[terse pier]

tell me how to import spprites

[blazing python]

1. Extract the spritepack
2. Open the sprite pack folder
3. You will see a folder named CustomBattlers
4. Open your game folder in a second window
5. Drag CustomBattlers on top of your Graphics folder.
6. Done

When you move on top of Graphics folder, it will merge the two together. If it asks you to replace files, select yes

[terse pier]

wait the extraction is happenin

[rigid silo]

[jaunty granite]

god i feel dumb

i'm trying to get the newest game version since my last one was version 5.2.0

i've just been fighting with the whole thing for two hours

i download it, i set it off to do its thing of installing the stuff

and when it's 'done' nothing's changed

fifth try with a brand new download

[blazing python]

Yeah if you checked our pinned messages sooner we have a new installer and also guides/troubleshooting for it 😅

[jaunty granite]

what do you think i'm fighting with

sorry that was rude

[blazing python]

I’m pretty sure you are getting an error running INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat. If you screenshot that black window when it is done, we can troubleshoot

[mossy tide]

Yo why my game bug after beat champion?

[blazing python]

Because you on Android 😂 you need to downgrade your version of RPG Maker

?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

[blazing python]

Our guide for Android has the link for the plugin

[jaunty granite]

hey @blazing python? i've downloaded it and it finally works, though i haven't started the game up yet. i have all the sprites i want in a different folder from the fusion folder, would moving them into the custombattler folder and then opening the game with the game (preloaded) application work? like, automatically use those sprites or do i need to do some more funky tech stuff?

[lavish grail]

Is there a way to get the latest version of the game while playing on a Chromebook?

[proud timber]

hello my save file seems to have become corrupted, any idea how I can get it working again? I can send the save file if needed

[dapper blade]

I was wondering if there was any way to put the game onto and play on gameboy advance flash cart and if so, how please?

[verbal timber]

chromebook requires a lot of extra work arounds

and we can't guarantee it will function

[verbal timber]

if the save is corrupted, then it is gone, there isn't much we can do for it

[verbal timber]

no

there is not

IF is not a rom/romhack

it is a fan made game

that requires a windows os, or for devices like linux/mac, a way to run a program that mimics windows os

[verbal timber]

if you are using preloaded you need the preloaded sprites file, which has all currently available sprites [usually minus the most recent sprite pack unless the link has been updated to include it]

otherwise the game won't work and you'll get an error

[jaunty granite]

okay so i've got that megaman sprite thing working and doing its thing

but i don't want all of the sprites in the folders, i want to use the ones i chose, would removing them and putting my ones in mess it up

[fading igloo]

?tag alts

[pearl magnet]

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

[dapper blade]

Thank you anyway

[verbal timber]

so if you mean just customs; no, because megaman's sprite thing include the autogen sprites

but if you include those, yes that would mess it up as game-preloaded needs those files since many fusions lack custom sprites

unless you want some fusions to just be a giant white circle with a ? in it

[jaunty granite]

oh god i'm dumb and tired and i know you're probably making sense to you but i'm confused

[verbal timber]

in the simplest way then

https://tenor.com/view/well-yes-but-actually-no-meme-aardman-the-pirates-pirate-gif-26563702

[jaunty granite]

please

lol

[verbal timber]

the game can work without all the custom sprites that exist in the sprite installer, and in the preloaded sprite file
it can also work without autogenerated ones, but this will result in some fusions having no sprite

[jaunty granite]

okay, so if i don't do the megaman thing, and just drop my sprites into the custombattler folder, the game (preloaded) thing wouldn't work i'm guessing

[verbal timber]

game-preloaded needs extra files the game doesn't have by default, those being the custom base sprites

without those, you would need to use one of the other game applications

game or game-default

the preloaded sprite file/sprite install has:

all custom base sprites
all auto generated sprites
all custom sprites available [sometimes minus the most recent sprite pack]

[jaunty granite]

god i hate this, not based at you or the people who work on this stuff

but like i said, i'm dumb and easily confused

i have a folder that has sprites for each fusion that has custom ones, and a base sprite for each pokemon

'cause i didn't want a mass of like, 1.1, 1.1a, 1.1b and so on

[verbal timber]

you can play the game without all custom/autogenerated sprites
you would need to turn off the download sprites option

this will create an issue where fusions may have no sprite and will instead have a giant white circle with a ? inside of it

but you won't be able to use the game-preloaded application

to use that application, you need the preloaded sprites file, which will mean you would need to delete a lot of sprites your don't want

[jaunty granite]

oh i'm not fussed about that, i've had that before, the circle thing

oh oh thought

[verbal timber]

if you are fine with that ? sprite issue, delete your infinite fusion folder, grab a fresh download of the game installer
rerun that
open either the game or game-default application, go into options, turn off download sprites
then you can download the sprites you want to download and manually add them [place the sprites in the custom battler folder]

outside that, there is no way to do what you want to do

[jaunty granite]

i will try! thank you, i know it was most likely frustrating to talk to me lol

[stone crane]

Hello! I started playing a few days ago and I haven't had any issues until today.
I'm playing on a Windows 11 laptop and the game crashed my entire computer twice now. Thankfully I didn't lose all that much progress but I'd like it if this didn't happen again at a more inconvenient time...
The crash happened at 2 seemingly random locations. The first time was after finishing the Krabby legs quest, it crashed as I entered the door to exit the hotel (during the blackout transition).
The other time was on the SS Anne, during the startup animation of a double battle.
Has anyone seen something similar and has a clue as to how to fix it?

[verbal timber]

in either instance, was it a straight crash and the game closed, or did an error box pop up

[stone crane]

The game froze, as well as my entire computer. Couldn't move the mouse or do anything really. Had to hold down the power button and restart the laptop.

[verbal timber]

oh, a hard crash

that's a bit more rare

there may not be much that can be done

the bottom link in the first pin says that laptops and older pcs are struggling to run the game

I'd suggest reading through that to see if any of it might be doable on your setup...and if none of it helps, then you will need a better rig

[stone crane]

The laptop is brand new and more powerful than my main PC so I doubt that's the problem. I don't have any performance issues, the game runs great. I'll continue playing and hope that it won't happen again 😅

[verbal timber]

i'm just passing along the info

that is why our tech people have found

[verbal timber]

something just mini triggered

where did you download the game from'

[turbid terrace]

Hey @verbal timber! 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!

[verbal timber]

because you said you started playing a few days ago

but only joined the discord today

if you downloaded if via:
the game's subreddit [and the pinned post specifically] or the pokecommunity page, you are fine

but if you grabbed it from anywhere else, that might be why the game crashed

especially if you downloaded it from a "fake" website claiming to be official

likely you may have downloaded a game riddles with malware/viruses

[fading igloo]

please mind there is NO OFFICIAL WEBSITE
any site that claims to be official is a fake

[stone crane]

I downloaded the Windows launcher through Github

[verbal timber]

if you mean the new launcher, that thing has been borked for a bit

but it shouldn't affect the game files to the point where the game would crash

well if it happens again then either some is gonked with the game files, or it is your pc/internet

[stone crane]

Well it's okay, the game has been running fine for the last half hour or so. I doubt it's the internet as I downloaded all the sprites already.

Thanks for the help!

[mossy tide]

What version?

[verbal timber]

the guides in the first pinned comment of this channel, then click the written adr0id guide

follow that

it has the exact versions of joiplay and rpgmaker you need

[mossy tide]

Ahh on installation guide?

[rigid silo]

Yes.

[patent mason]

um help

[verbal timber]

you had an unexpected disconnect

the second pin in this channel goes over that issue

follow it

[surreal remnant]

I'm asking this on behalf of my friend, who is trying to install the game
I sent her the ZIP file from the download link in this server

And she said that the installer doesn't do anything and sent me this picture (I could ask her for a screenshot if needed)

Any idea what's wrong?

[blazing python]

For some reason, the connection to the game repo is being blocked on their end. That is why it says unable to access

[surreal remnant]

I see

I'll try and figure it out, now that I know the problem
Thank you

I had her download this version
I'm waiting on a response from her, so hopefully this works

[blazing python]

A quick way to figure out if she can connect to the repo would be to try installing using this LINK

[quasi sorrel]

im getting this when i try and launch preloaded version, when i run install/update it says everything is okay

this is a fresh install

[fading igloo]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/758159434433560638.gif?v=1

[blazing python]

Preloaded doesn’t work out the box. You need to set it up. Or open “game” and start playing with no setup required

[surreal remnant]

Thank you

The connection install fix thingy worked for her
Thank you for your advice /gen

[blazing python]

Nice! Enjoy!

[quasi sorrel]

thanks

[digital seal]

Hello everyone
I... can't get the game to install. I have unzipped the file and click the Install or update bat and it downloads... something but then I close it and nothing has changed on my pc

[rigid silo]

then it didnt install. send a screenshot. Likely it was disconnected

[digital seal]

oop, I might have got it
Think it was because of onedrive not wanting to let it download

[fading igloo]

be patient
let the game load
dont do anything in the game window

[sterile pivot]

Hello! I'm new and I got a problem, I donwloaded the game 1 week ago and I just see that I don't have the modern version but I've download everything that you gave, so I don't know how could I have the modern version plz?

[fading igloo]

start a new file

[sterile pivot]

ok I try

thanks!

[pine canopy]

oooooo

[tall dock]

Hello, I downloaded the latest sprite pack and updated the game, now it is refusing to start up, not even the alternitive launcher.

[blazing python]

alt launcher needs a specific setup to work. but what error you getting with the regular game?

or is it just black screen?

[tall dock]

none really, just black screen yeah

[blazing python]

That is expected. You just imported thousands of sprites, it needs time to process and move the files. Be patient on the screen

The speed depends purely on your pc

[tall dock]

so just give it time to start up

[blazing python]

Yup

[tall dock]

i see

i'll try that, thanks!

took a bit but you're right!

[blazing python]

Yup yup I developed the sprite installer that will do that work for you so I've done a lot of testing with these sprite packs 😅

[tall dock]

haha, you do great work, keep it up!

[blazing python]

Enjoy the game!

[tall dock]

thanks I will

[primal fulcrum]

After downloading and indexing the new pack, a few sprites were left out. Should I manually put them in the correct spots?

[rigid silo]

No, do not go playing around with files if you do not know.
They are there because they were not picked up by the game for a reason

(e.g. they are in the wrong format in this case)

[crude robin]

Hi, Im trying to play the preloaded version and downloaded all the sprites and when I load the game I get past the black screen but get stuck on the intro screen showing off the fusions. Pressing enter just makes the sprites fuse together faster insead of moving on the the start menu

[turbid terrace]

Hey @crude robin! 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.

[prisma sandal]

Hello, I would like to know why I can't configure some of my controller key on the game ? I can configure the joysticks but not the trigger A,B,X and Y button

[blazing python]

this game doesn't have controller support

Read the top of this channel, we have a pinned message for better controller support through steam

[onyx hazel]

After 1 badge all of fusions are question marks
Even now when i loaded the game and it asked me if i want to download missing sprites and i said yes

[blazing python]

Read the top of this channel. We have this issue fixed in our pinned messages

[onyx hazel]

ok

[prisma sandal]

thank you ! I would know what the "other" file on the pack mean, and how I can use this (because it look to have custom trainers etc)

[marsh panther]

It's good now thx

[blazing python]

The Other folder is not used in game at all. This is just Other sprites you could add to the game if you wanted

[slate grail]

Is there a way to extract the moves/types of enemy pokemon directly while playing without using an online calculator?

[rigid silo]

extract?

as in, cheat by knowing what moves they have?

nahhh not in game

Types you can determine yourself from the 2 base pokemon

[onyx hazel]

so i tried to do this tutorial but when i click graphic theres no such thing as option called install sprites

[blazing python]

you have to install the game first

the installer is asking you to open your game folder and select the graphics folder inside of it

[onyx hazel]

i have the game installed

[blazing python]

then there you go

[onyx hazel]

i mean not the way the ask because

because i have some kind of light full

not exe

[blazing python]

Sorry, not sure what you mean

[onyx hazel]

so the first part of this guide is to install the game

but i had this installed for months

[blazing python]

it is just showing the capabilities of the installer. you don't NEED to install the game with it

[rigid silo]

did... did you ever update?

[onyx hazel]

uptade ?!

[blazing python]

well now that you installed it with the installer, you don't need to use your old folder

[slate grail]

Yeah I'm not talking about an in-game feature necessarily. I'd like to know if this kind of data can be extracted on the fly

[onyx hazel]

i have mine run there so i need to use it

the old one

[rigid silo]

The fusion dex has the types if you enter the mon.
I don't think there is a db for the moves of enemy teams.

[blazing python]

the game reuses the save data so your old folder doesn't really matter, but you can use whichever you want

[onyx hazel]

ohhhh so if I install the one in the guide i will have my data there

ok

thanks

[slate grail]

Yeah I'm looking for a way to automatically display that information, without having to look it up on online knowledge bases

For example if pokemon always learn the last 4 moves in their learnset, you can determine their moveset that way.

But I suppose some movesets are handpicked anyway

[blazing python]

we don't have that, youd have to find a solution for that

[rigid silo]

Ran into an interesting limitation on the Steamdeck which I think is worth noting.
When moving/copying individual files; there seems to be a limit on the nr of files it can transfer in 1 go. It does not notify you of this in any alerting way.

e.g. when selecting 3k something files, copy, paste in custombattlers, it will only copy around the first 2000 or so.

Easy workaround (and probably the more elegant way to do this in the first place) is to just move/copy folders and then merge them.

oh and what will happen when we reach the max alt sprites? charizard is already at "6z", are we expecting a Y2K? or can the system handle "6aa"

Wait, ive answerd myselfs, I see an 'aa' sprite

[blazing python]

sprite purges happen also. so when it reaches far enough sprite team ignores those to make newer missing ones vs ones we have so many of

[inner dune]

Le jeu me dit sa comment je règle ça

[late bane]

vous devez avoir les versions correctes de joiplay et rpgmanker du guide Android pour que cela fonctionne sur mobile

[turbid terrace]

Hey @late bane! 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 knot]

Bit of a weird question, but can someone dm me a copy of the game’s graphics folder? Mine is missing a ton of files so I’m hoping to replace it with one that has everything it should

Primarily it’s missing every fused sprite

[blazing python]

the game does not install sprites when installing the game. Sprites are installed as you encounter pokemon.

If you want additional sprites, you can download the sprite installer pinned in this channel

[novel knot]

Ok, thank you

It looks like that worked, thanks again

[manic hazel]

can anybody help me? My game doesn't start and gives this message every time, what can I do to make the game work?

[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

[manic hazel]

it worked, thank you very much

[manic pike]

Hi, can anyone help me out with this? I have tried both launchers but it still has this weird little question mark

[verbal timber]

so you're not on 5.3.1.2+ which means sprite downloads no longer work

update your game

check your infinite fusion folder, you should have a batch file named install_or_update

run that

if not, you may have one of the weirder early 5.3 installs when they still included sprite packs; which I'd just recommend, deleting your infinite fusion folder and grabbing a fresh install

[blazing python]

Yeah I agree, you should update to the latest version

[dense fossil]

Just a quick question. Has anyone else been able to run this on steamdeck? I was able too but I recently had to factory reset the steam deck and the most recent install dosent want to seem to run on wine. Anyone expericnce the same problem or is there some dependency im missing?

[blazing python]

Hi, I just downloaded the full sprite pack. it also came with a folder called other and in that "other" folder there are these folders. Where do I put them?

[quartz needle]

hey so i ran the install or update file and the game isnt showing up\

[tough hound]

anyone know if the megaman sprite grabber has the december pack?

[blazing python]

it always grabs the latest from the repo, so yes

[blazing python]

take a screenshot of the black window after it is finished and we can troubleshoot it

[tough hound]

aight, just making sure. Thank you

[blazing python]

the other folder isn't used for anything. Just extra sprites the team has worked on but not in the official pack

Ok one sec

It takes a min

[SHORTCUT](#tech-support message)

[quartz needle]

I’ll try it

[harsh umbra]

Hello everyone !
I have trouble opening the game, I've already downloaded it last year (on a website) and I've deleted it since then.
Now I've downloaded it again today from #downloads but it keeps saying that the game detected a false version of it and won't open until I dowload it from discord/reddit. I'm not sure what to do now, I don't find any file from my previous version, even in my trash bin.
Is there a way to know if the game detect a file somewhere it should not and if yes if I can have the path to it ?
Or maybe is there a way to work around the verification system so the game can launch ?

Thank you ! 🙂

[sharp meteor]

Hi, can I ask what file I should download only for preloaded sprites for mobile?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @sharp meteor! 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.

[blazing python]

Delete all of your pokemon infinite fusion folders. Redownload the game from discord. Extract it and move it to your desktop to install the game. Afterwards check back in here if you have further issues

[blazing python]

the Yanmega bot below you will let you know how to do it

[harsh umbra]

Good, I'll try live and tell you if I run into the same error. Thanks !

[sharp meteor]

Okie, will do it

[quartz needle]

Is the dc error where it says rock failed curl 92http/2?

[blazing python]

i believe so but i dont have it memorized. Id have to see a screenshot

[sterile pivot]

how do i apply randomizer

[blazing python]

you need to have a save first. Can be a save in pallet town.
then create a 2nd new game. Randomizer options are now available after

[sterile pivot]

ohh pog tysm

[dense fossil]

I can run the game.exe however the preloaded one seems to not run

[blazing python]

it doesn't work out of the box. you need to use the sprite installer to set it up

[dense fossil]

I dragged all the sprites into custombattle.

[blazing python]

that is only custom sprites, not preloaded

[dense fossil]

I'm not understanding. I downloaded all the sprites I thought, and moved them to the folded. Are you saying I need to run the game online first to get the normal sprites using the internet connection?

[blazing python]

No, I am saying all you downloaded was custom sprites. Preloaded needs the preloaded sprites which include the custom sprites plus a lot more

[dense fossil]

Ahh.

So I'll have to do it when I'm not on my steamdeck but this looks like it's working.

[blazing python]

my steam deck guide comes with all of the sprites

[dense fossil]

So I'm going to preload all of them, but this is my setup. I'm using a software called SyncThing (Syncthingy on steamdeck) and it allows real-time constant syncing between two or more folders on a device. This is allowing me to be able to install this folder on my desktop and have it sync to my steamdeck and vise versa. Meaning I will be able to play on my steamdeck. Save, and go to my PC and launch the game from the "same" folder and it will run with my save as it's already been shared across devices.

Letting you know as this seems to be a nice way to sync non-steam games like this or other romhack saves across steamdeck and PC.

Also great for backing up stuff automatically. I've lost my save before so now I'm making sure I have a backup.

[blazing python]

Nice! I will have to check it out!

[rigid silo]

So this is what I have been using; but there are some security concerns I have with the base settings of this software.

You need to do quite some configuring and magic to make it work ONLY locally (mine didn't wanna recognise devices for the longest time when running on only local adresses.)

For 1; there is global discovery which is enabled by default (I think). Meaning that your device connects to a database with the syncthingKey+ip/open port combination of EVERY other user of syncthing.

Second; Relaying is also turned on by default I believe, forcing the connection and data transfer to go through one of their public servers. Not only crippling performance, but introducing even more network security risks.

Most, if not all of the tutorials out there do not touch on this aspect of syncthing and will leave everything from listener ip/ports and discovery open to the internet.

the good thing is though, that it is relatively easy to set up and you can make it run in the background of steamOS on startup with some linux magic.

this is an error i keep gettin can someoe help

[rigid silo]

This has been posted here many many times. To the point that we pinned it. Please actually read the pins/channel description.

[languid sun]

i saw the solution and still not working

[rigid silo]

Did you try them all?

if you actually tried them all and it is still not working; then it is your internet causing the issue.

not to be a dick; but I doubt you tried them all. Since one of the options is a pre-installed version. where you would never get the error you showed.

because that script never runs on that version

[quartz needle]

@blazing python Got it to work, thank you so much for your help!

[rigid silo]

Sick, have fun!

[quartz needle]

Can you not do the randomizer immediately do I have to be at the game normally first?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @quartz needle! 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!

[maiden crow]

Hello I have a small problem I just downloaded the game but it gives me this error message

If anyone knows how to fix this

[blazing python]

You get this error specifically when you don’t follow our pinned Android guide. Specifically when you don’t install our plugins without uninstalling the ones you have now

[timid hemlock]

I have a problem with the background image and buildings and surroundings not showing up. Does anyone know how to fix it?

I'm not good at English. If there are any strange words, I'm really sorry.

[rigid silo]

You are playing on android, the game was never designed to be played on android.
You are bound to run into issues we can not fix. If you followed our android guide exactly, then that is the best your phone can do.

[maiden crow]

Can you give me the tutorial

[timid hemlock]

Thanks

[main locust]

Can I ask if there are any ways to make the game run faster? I think I've played too many romhacks and gotten used to speedup, it's weirdly jarring for me 😅

[fast bolt]

Press Q

Press it twice to go even faster

One more time to go back to normal

[main locust]

Thank you so much!

No, this is perfect

There wouldn't happen to be any anti-grinding QoL on hard mode, would there?

I really want the harder AI and so on, but while grinding is a lot less frustrating with speedup...?

[fast bolt]

You can turn level caps on in options. Won't be able to level higher than the next gym leader. At least on classic. You will be underleveled if you use it on modern mode.

[main locust]

I've already done that - I'll just get to those level caps the way I did in grade school 🤘

[languid sun]

i didnt see the last try which is installing it from the repo but when i install it it says infinity

[languid sun]

bro the file only has audios and .gitignore

[stone copper]

uhhh what this mean? i just downloaded the newest version of the game and this happened-

[fast bolt]

Open Game, not Game-preloaded

[stone copper]

this? dam i thought it was different

oh-

[fast bolt]

Preloaded is for if Game lags or you need to play offline. In which case, you need to use the sprite installer from the pinned messages in this channel.

Preloaded won't work without that

[rigid silo]

As the reply to your question in game-help. you wont need any sprite packs when you just open "game"
it will always have all the latest sprites.

[stone copper]

ohh

[rigid silo]

No it does not.

[stone copper]

does my save file like transfers to the new one i installed?

[rigid silo]

Yes, on pc it does

[stone copper]

oh thank god

[rigid silo]

I literally just downloaded that file from the repo and opened it. It is totally fine.

I even checked the repo manually, everything is there.

[languid sun]

non of these are showing

[rigid silo]

then you have something that does not work.

all the files are there. confirmed in multiple ways

[languid sun]

only audio file and gitignore

[rigid silo]

make sure you clicked this. and not something else.

[stone copper]

so uhh yeah the fusions are just showing up as big white orbs with a question mark in the middle?

idk why?

i waited of rlike a solid 10 minutes

and nothing changed

the fusions just appear as this

[rapid harness]

uh i dragged the custom battler from the sprite download thing into the graphic section like the guide say, but nothing happened

the folder just dissapeared

[rigid silo]

Do something for me real quick, open the custombattler folder on the left and show it to me

[rigid silo]

What I think happened; You dragged it into one of the folders on the left on accident

yeah so it didnt go properly, so go back, and check the folders on the left. you accidentally added custombattlers to one of them

[rapid harness]

so was i supposed to drag it to the custom battler on the left?

[rigid silo]

nono, drag it to the left but not ON TOP OF another folder

that adds it to the folder to dragged it on to

[rapid harness]

ok thanks

[rigid silo]

no worries

easiest way to avoid that is by dragging it on top of the files near the bottom, that way it for sure wont accidentally go into one of the subfolders

[rapid harness]

I found the files and is moving it. Just another question, when a new Sprite pack comes out, do i have to delete the old ones?

[west plank]

guys

it dont let me access game fil

or uupdate it

help

[verbal timber]

as soon as you put the custom battler folder where it needs to go you can delete the pack

[rigid silo]

nahh you dont have to delete anything in the game files. and if you are not playing preloaded you do not even need the sprite packs

try it

[verbal timber]

you can go full screen in the options

[verbal timber]

that is vague, and not enough info

[west plank]

i tried to join the game folder and it doesnt let me click

also, it just says install

and doesnt download anything when i do

[verbal timber]

you are using the launcher, which is currently broken

[west plank]

then wha i do

[verbal timber]

it shouldn't...if you want to yeet both and do a fresh install so you have only 1 folder, that is fine

you'd need to redownload anything else you downloaded though

[verbal timber]

delete that infinite fusion foldwer entirely, and any shortcuts/other files pertaining to it, grab a fresh download of the lite installer

that is what it is supposed to look like

[rigid silo]

looks fine to me

no you dont?

[verbal timber]

if the preloaded sprites are in the other folder, then just delete that folder, as long as all of this isn't in it

[rigid silo]

Yeah only that infinitefusiongame folder looks off, nuke that and you are fine my man

oldinstall might also not be normal. but im not sure

coolcool

Ahhh, you reinstalled with the sprite installer instead of just adding the sprites. i see what happened

all the tutorials are in here

in our pins

[rapid harness]

i forgot which version i downloaded. is there a way to check?

[rigid silo]

up to you. ive personally reinstalled like 100 times total

[rigid silo]

should be on the title screen of the game

[light lodge]

hello ive just downloaded the game, how to activate Vsync plz ?

[rapid harness]

this is not preloaded ye?

[west plank]

what lite installer?

like\

i try and it dont direct download

[rigid silo]

its not, but you have the latest version

[rapid harness]

how does the preloaded one work? does it automatically update the sprites when new one comes out?

[rigid silo]

No, and it takes a bit to even get to work

if you do not have major issues, stay on non-preloaded.

[light lodge]

how to put vsync plz?

[rigid silo]

You have to manually change code for that. it is not an option in game.
As a rule, tech support will not assist you in changing game files.

Do so at your own risk. We will not provide support for modified game files if you break something.

[light lodge]

broooo

say to me how to do it

its my pc bro its my responsability not yours dont wory

[rigid silo]

exactly, your responsibility. So we will leave it up to you.

[light lodge]

i want to insult you

but i will be banned

you lucky

[rigid silo]

Do whatever your heart desires.

[light lodge]

ok dumbass

[rigid silo]

Your responsibility

[light lodge]

thx

[rigid silo]

At least I know how to enable vsync. cant be that dumb

anyway, good luck

[limber quail]

I also have a question.
There was a file unrelated to infinite fusion that took up half my pc in space. A windows 2022 server file. I deleted it and i got about 100 more gb. The problem now is that infinite fusion only works everytime i redownload onedrive but stops working once i restart the pc untill i download onedrive again. Can anyone tell me how i might fix this?

[rigid silo]

Hmmm looks like it was installed in a onedrive folder before; we do not recommend that.
What you could do;
Delete your install and then reinstall.
Your saves should be fine, since they are stored in C:\Users\<yournamehere>\AppData\Roaming\infinitefusion

the new install will just find the old saves and you can keep going

[limber quail]

Alright, i'l try that ty

[rigid silo]

No worries, let us know if you need more help

[light lodge]

why my character at the start was running fast now he walking ?

[rigid silo]

There is an option for auto running.

Or you can hold the run button.

[wise sky]

Hello, I am having trouble loading the game after installing it. Every time I try to run it, it immediate becomes "Not Responding". Any advice?

[fast bolt]

Don't touch it until it finishes loading

[wise sky]

How does it usually take?

Im still stuck on a white screen

[light lodge]

thx

[rigid silo]

depends on your hardware. Can take quite while on the first load.
But a white screen makes me think that you did touch it.

You could restart, and do not touch the window at all.

Or send a screenshot if you want us to make sure it looks alright

[deep linden]

I play on preloaded because the regular game is slower for me. How do I update the new sprites when they come out? I have the installer

[rigid silo]

new sprites came out yesterday. So if you ran the sprite installer between then and now you are good.

rerunning the installer will update them if new sprites are out.

[deep linden]

hi so I need to run the sprite installer or do I use the sprite menu from the game installer?

[rigid silo]

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

Follow from "Part 2: Installing the Sprites with the Installer:"

[bitter jungle]

Hello, i followed the video to install the game for the first time, but this is what i get when i double click on the installer.bat

[rigid silo]

Are you on windows? or something else?

[bitter jungle]

Ubunto

[deep linden]

so I go with the option "install preloaded sprites"

[rigid silo]

Then you need to follow our linux guide.

[rigid silo]

If that is what the guide says, yes

[deep linden]

the guide is about first installation... I don't see a guide on updating the sprites so I was asking if it's the same process as before

[rigid silo]

I literally linked it to you and said -> Follow from "Part 2: Installing the Sprites with the Installer:"

-> rerunning the installer will update them if new sprites are out.

Its no big deal, let me know if it shows any error or something.

[deep linden]

ok thanks I'm following the instructions

[languid sun]

i got the files but no button for the game

[fast bolt]

That's the wrong files

That's the launcher. Which is broken

[languid sun]

bruh

[verbal timber]

it might be prudent for mega to remove the launcher links entirely, since Frogman also yeeted the download from the #downloads channel for it as well

[rigid silo]

Its wild because at this point I think that everywhere the link to a launcher is, there is also a written warning about the launcher

[verbal timber]

ah yes but

?tag reading

[pearl magnet]

You should try to read NPC dialogue! They give very good hints on how to continue the game. Sometimes they also give you items! Don't forget to talk to NPC's and read what they say.

[verbal timber]

we're npcs

[rigid silo]

Yeah im done, this is a sisyphean task.

dude still went and clicked all kinds of other shit

[blazing python]

Pokecommunity only has the launcher link. I think that is where people are downloading the launcher from still

I’ll see if I can get the link removed there also

[rigid silo]

Right, but this guy first had to lightweight not working, directed him to the pins > said there is no fix there > redirected to the repo > said those files are wrong > checked that they are right and circled what to click > dude ends up with the launcher...

[blazing python]

😂

I’ll remove the links here too and take them off my channel as well

[rigid silo]

[short hamlet]

Is it possible to get the game on IPad or does it have to be a phone?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @short hamlet! 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]

Ipad is IOS, can't sideload apps on it. So sadly impossible

for mobile devices its android only. and even that barely works

[short hamlet]

Oh ok

[rigid silo]

I do think that apple lost a case in europe and will be forced to allow sideloading of apps somewhere early this year. So it might be possible in the future

[deep linden]

btw today after the sprite update I get a lag everytime the game has to load the pokemon sprites... like if u access pc or if you access the pokemon menu to check on your team

[rigid silo]

Yeah thats quite normal, only workaround that can help a little is setting up preloaded

we have a guide for that in the pins

[deep linden]

I'm on preloaded because game.exe lags even more than that. Game.exe lags when I enter a building or enter a fight and same when I go out... so I play on preloaded which until yesterday was super fast with 0 lags... but today there's a lag there as well

[rigid silo]

I have noticed that it happens a lot more on the auto generated sprites for some reason.
you could check if thats the case for you

example of an auto generated sprite; they look a little off and often have blurry parts to the sprites

[tidal pumice]

someone help pleaseee

[rigid silo]

You tried playing preloaded without first reading how to install preloaded.

check the pins.

[fast bolt]

It's right there in the first post in #downloads too

[tidal pumice]

ohhh alright thank you

[fast bolt]

Why does everybody download without reading what they're downloading?

[rigid silo]

thats the same people that discard their hardware every 1-2 years because it is brimming with malware

Me see download button, me press. Me see .exe, me press.

[latent igloo]

why is there trojan Malware in the Github infintie fusion installer

[blazing python]

If you do your research, maxsecure isn’t a reputable source and also it is just saying they consider it suspicious, not that they found something. That is why it says undetected

[latent igloo]

Gotcha

Just wanted to check

thank you

litterally one of the first things i find

when I look it up

[blazing python]

Yeah they need to remove MaxSecure from VirusTotal

[rigid silo]

yes, the susgen trojan is almost always a false positive. couple that with maxsecure + undetected. I wouldn't worry

[blazing python]

but at least you are double checking where you download things from 🙂

[rigid silo]

Yes, good on ya!

[latent igloo]

I always do that

Its a habit i picked up from a friend

[rigid silo]

looks like you will keep your device for a little longer than 1-2 years

[latent igloo]

Yeah my main pc is a frankenstein at thsi point and ive had it for 6+ years no

To complete the full frankenstein i need to switch out the motherboard next

[rigid silo]

Thats how they are supposed to be, full of love and mismatched parts held together by unsupported drivers

call it ✨ Character ✨

[latent igloo]

Which one do you guys reccomend

Aka what has the coolest sprites

[blazing python]

Custom Sprites will get you that

it is optional though since the game downloads them as you encounter pokemon, but this will download them all up front for you

[latent igloo]

Yeah I was having like minute plus load times when I was playing the regular game

[blazing python]

if you want to play preloaded (optimized version of the game), you will have to do the preloaded sprites which comes with both the options below it plus more

[west plank]

i deleted and reinstalled the game

does my save file delete too?

[late bane]

no

[bleak lotus]

I want to use my controller to play the game, but it doesn't have the correct controls that I want and for some reason, the controller I'm using (a wired Switch controller) isn't responding with the Key Bindings menu when I try to set the controls manually. What do I do?

[trim fox]

Use a key mapping program like JoyToKey

[blazing python]

If you read our pinned messages, it has instructions on how to add the game to steam for better controller support

but the game does not support controller remapping only keyboard

[bleak lotus]

Ok thanks.

[fading spire]

Did automatic generated sprites get removed? They're not appearing after I updated

[trim fox]

Try this #tech-support message

[verbal timber]

check the

[sterile pivot]

Ok

[latent bluff]

how do i install the new zip to my game i alr have the game but its an older version

[blazing python]

do you have the file INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat in your game folder?

[latent bluff]

no

[latent bluff]

nvm i see it

[blazing python]

yeah just double click it and it will update your game

just be aware, if you are on a version lower than 5.0, your save is not compatible with 6.0.5

[verbal timber]

i mean if they have the file they are on at least 5.3

[latent bluff]

so if its lower than 5.3 i cant update it?

[blazing python]

no he is saying if you have the files, you are on a version at least 5.3

since the updater didn't exist prior. but you can confirm your version by just opening the game on the title screen

[latent bluff]

the version is 5.2.1

[verbal timber]

then you don't have the install or update batch file

in which case, delete your folder, grab a fresh download of the lite installer

[blazing python]

he said he sees it though but you could also show a screenshot of your game folder if you are confused which file you were referring to that you think you saw

Either way, still better to just delete and install fresh as mentioned above since 5.2.1 is super old now:
Windows:

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