I just had to update my drivers
Coolcool
Should probably add that to the pin as a potential fix for the disconnect i guess 
really nobody know which option to turn off randomizer
i just want to play classic with my current file that i accidentally turn randomizer on
Check the update man in pokecenters. Maybe he has the option
Or the options menu
Just suggesting some things for you to check out. Which you could also think of
oh
Maybe. Like I said just throwing some stuff out there. Im not sure where the option is myself. But im fairly sure it is possible.
damn but still thx
Is the updatedSprites zip file the latest? Cus I just met a pokemon with a question mark.
That should not be possible. The game crashes before showing a questionmark when playing preloaded i think
Are you sure you are playing preloaded? Amd didnt launch dynamic?
And to answer your question directly, no i do not think so. Comparing de release of the sprite-pack with the preloaded pack update stamp.
Your safest bet for updated preloaded sprites is megamans installer.
That one for sure installs all the latest sprites.
But like I said, first make sure you are actually launching preloaded. Otherwise you do not need any sprite packs
Yeah, I played it on preloaded
Weird. Then try megamans installer. That has everything updated
hello when i use the install or update thing nothing happens it tells me its good and i can press any key to close it but there is nothing that has changed
Hello,
Do I need to install auto gen if I'm installing preload sprite ? What is the purpose of Auto gen ?
does that mean I have to redownload everything?
Post a screenshot of the black window
Hey @fast bolt! 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.

Dammit bot. Didn't realize window triggered it...
The preloaded sprites contain everything. Autogen and custom. The pack in downloads only contains customs. There is no way to get just autogens.
You don't need to do anything with sprites if you have decent internet. The game will download the sprites as you play automatically.
I tried both of them and now it's working ayyy thank you so much
No. There should be an option for just sprites. if I recall correctly its part 2 of the guide on the github.
I can't rn i have classes i will later
any assistance on this error?:/
Thanks
Did you extract the file before running it?
yes
Is it on desktop, and if so; is your desktop linked to onedrive?
Couple of thing as a suggestion to check:
Does a redownload help? Maybe corrupted installer files.
Check out the new installer megaman made, see if that works.
https://github.com/x-megaman/InfiniteFusionPreloaded/releases/
it is on desktop and no it is not linked to one drive
i will attempt this and let you know
If it still doesnt work I might have something up my sleeve. But its a last resort.
id like to avoid resetting my pc so io will try anything

Yeah okay, give me 1 sec. I'll get you set up
thanks i appreciate it
There you go -> #tech-support message
That video has our tech support version of the game. It has everything already pre-installed and portable.
We have personally confirmed that it works 100%. Just extract and play, nothing else needed.
extracting might take a long time, since its over 350k files. But it should work eventually.
thank you so much, if it doesn't work i apologize haha
Yes bro change your gpu driver or buy computer
hey so i tried to open both the preloaded and game.exe and i got this, any ideas?
That's not in the connection bro, that's in the Gpu driver because we're the same, I'm the same on my computer.
have you tried reinstalling?
I'll do some more digging, but as I said. its a confirmed working tech support version of the game, so it seems to be some weird interaction on your pc rather than the game.
Android phone
Hey @sterile pivot! 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.

He has a non-installer portable version of the game, our tech support version.
Watch tutorial @hollow vine
its pc
As I said, I gave him our tech support version. No installer, so none of those listed tutorials will be relevant.
Click here to watch the tutorial.
Ah copy
Thank you, it used to work but then it stopped for some reason, I have no idea why, if it is pc side I'm stumped
Megaman will maybe know once he gets on. will prob be a couple of hours.
that means there is nothing there I understand thanks.
thats fine I have the dentist anyways now, any help would definitely be appreciated
Do you mind me pinging you when/if I have an update?
but on Android it's not like this.

10-11 would be fine, anything lower I think is not supported at all
Windows 10 🙂
coolcool
sent a request so dms wont be filtered through, hope you don't mind
I think I'm the only one on Android here🤣

you'll have to wait for one of our tech people to be online
It’s 9am and the games already showing night😭
game time and real time don't match up
Darn
i think 1 min real time is 1 hour game time
i cant encount raicune
you have to update to 6.0.5. Then afterwards go to the pokemon center. Talk to update man and select Fix game
Then you have the fake version. This was fixed in 6.0.3. Only fake copies of the game don’t have it
can i somehow keep my save
Yeah follow our guide here to reinstall: [Guide](#tech-support message)
Hi guys, when I try to install the game it stops after around 2 minutes with the following dialogue box.
dm me the url
Everything is in the link I sent you. Click where it says guide
This means you got a network error trying to install the game.
Yo @blazing python,
Any clue on what can cause this error?
Happened to someone on the pre-packed version.
I haven't had any other network interruptions, and I've had the same error while connected to my wifi and tethered.
Cant seem to reproduce it myself.
We have tips you can follow here but you need to look at your network: [Info](#tech-support message)
People unplug and plugin their modem to fix or switch from using their WiFi to their other WiFi network to fix
I will say, they were having some funky path errors before. So good chance that it is caused by some weird pc config stuff
Did they try opening multiple copies of the game at once or something?
Not to my knowledge
Or they could have onedrive syncing to that folder so it is trying to load the title screen while syncing back somewhere
Yeah tried confirming that, they said the game wasnt on a onedrive location.
this shit had me stumped
Yeah I would need more info but the files 100% work so it something on their end for sure

Are they even on windows? When I look up the error, it is mostly Linux users with this error
Tried confirming that as well, win10
I'm going to presume there's no manual install, it has to be done through a github pull?
Correct. the installer does the pull for you though
Try this: Link
(technically you can manual it by just downloading the files from the github yourself)
tyvm, will try
The link I gave is to get the zip file directly from the repo, but people with this error usually can’t even get it still
Crossing all my fingers.
what do i do now
follow a guide
Yeah I sent you the guide. But Double click on that first file.
Also I’m working on an update to the installer that if you get that disconnect error, I’m just gonna have them get from my google drive or something. I’ve tried every fix I could to solve network issues but it is purely on the user’s end
I wonder if those connects to the drive will also get dropped, but time will tell.
So far it is just connecting to the GitHub is the prob. When I send my google drive files it works. I even tried rewriting the installer to just clone the repo vs the git commands we use now and it didn’t fix their issue
The download seemed to work fine. 🤷♀️
when i click "install_or_update" when its done its does nothing
it doesn't open a black window?
you are one of the small few, nice!
it opens the cmd
yeah so let that finish running, then send a screenshot here. there is an error there
it is probably the early disconnect error
"no space left on device"
you need more storage to install
up to 4gb
that is extreme case where you have all the sprites
less than 2gb for the base game
My brother in christ, did you just post your cheats to discord?

Nevermind, its fps chess. just recognised the icon

question
it says Updating files: 100% (15008/15008), done.
HEAD is now at 9fa5620 Merge branch 'main' of https://github.com/infinitefusion/infinitefusion-e18 into releases\
A heavily modified RPG Maker XP game project that makes the game play like a Pokémon game. Not a full project in itself; this repo is to be added into an existing RMXP game project. - GitHub - infi...
but it's not showing completed
is it still downloading?
oh well
do you have a screenshot we can look at?
it seems like it should be towards the end of the installation
oh
ok
the only consistant thing was it saying "20:56:19.324867 http.c:870 == Info: schannel: failed to decrypt data, need more data"
that is the installer trying to connect to the game repo and failing, but it is retrying a lot
but if you are seeing updating files, it already connected
ah ok
it is probably done now though
i think it's done but not showing it
when you open and close the text file, it updates the text file with the progress
it gets the current progress at that moment in time when you open it
i have the files like preloaded but the installer isn't realizing that
I don't understand?
lemme screenshot
the files seem to be here
but it's saying installing on the installer still
sounds like you paused it on accident
if you click on the black window, it will pause it
My map is loading as black only on my phone any solution?
Hey @vagrant parcel! 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.
you might have to click and press enter for it to unpause
oh ok
that usually means it is not compatible. Did you install using our google doc guide?
what version are you currently on?
5.3.1.2
you should have a file in your game folder that is named INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat
if you rerun that, it will update your game
Close the game first and double click on INSTALL_OR_UPDATE
no prob!
i still cant encounter raicune
what are you trying in game?
yeah that is normal
could the save be the problem with encoutering raicune
idk you aren't giving me more info lol
what are you doing in game to try and find him?
yea
yea
how are you trying to find him?
using the tracker
did you talk to update man in the pokemon center again?
talk to him again and select fix game
yeah that is a save file issue on that one
how do i fix this
You can't. One of us if we have time could try and fix it by editing your save file if you post it here. But depends if we have time
hey uhh. it´s not really about the save but i tried both options for the "finished" "finished (fusion request name)" and neither of those worked. may i ask how do i exactly mark the request as finished?? and what is it supposed to like do/show? because i´m confused
me?
idk
Are you talking about a sprite request?
yup. i´m talking about how to exactly mark it as finished
I figure you would ask the sprite channel that. We don’t handle that
ah, my bad. i apologize
I have a problem I downloaded the files and click on install or update and once I see press a button to continue nothing happens the game doesn’t appear
This usually means you are having network issues. Send a screenshot of the window after you run the file again so we can look at it
Thank you
So I just have this when it’s finished and once I press a button nothing happen
yeah right there is says unexpected disconnect. This is a network issue on your end
You can try the tips here, but this is something you have to resolve on your end: [Tips](#tech-support message)
Thanks I will try letter once I get better network
I have fixed the buttons in Steam for A being A and B being B but the game still reads as B=A and A=B
in steam you would reverse it then
A would be B
B would be A
No I'm not
cool, then whats the problem?
the game doesn't have controller support so you cant rebind controllers only keyboard
I'm using a Nintendo switch controller a is B and B is a I have edited the controls on the steam thing but it's still reading a = b and b = a
yeah so on steam you needs to set what megaman set
then the game will read a=a and b=b
a and b are reversed
Where do I find it
Steam -> Settings -> Controller
Ok I have it turned on
but yeah either way, the game itself doesn't let you remap controllers only keyboard so you have to change controller settings
remap your A button to the C-key and B button to X-key
See I set it up and it doesn't do what I want
thats how I did it, so that works
yeah cause you mapping it to how normal games are mapped
this game is different because it is based on RPG maker
remap your A button to the C-key and B button to X-key
make the buttons work as keyboard keys. that works 100% because im literally using that right now
?tag install
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
all our guides are there ^^
Wdym
ok thanks
in the video it says to install joiplay but im getting this error should i download?
You need to download it directly from Google Internet from the Joiplay website
no you dont
That's what I did
the only link to google play store is for RAR the extraction tool
i know i mean from this one
yeah don't use that
we are saying follow our guide
oh ok thanks im so dumb lol
"MUST" "WON'T" and people question why their game isnt working
when i tried researching the answer to my issue it had to do with linux stuff, i have never touched linus in my life haha
(i am the guy with the errors in the pathing)
yeah seems like your OS is installed incorrectly. Even your original issue with /dev/null is a linux path
I'll just get used to the buttons
do i have to reset then do you think?
where did you put the files from the video we gave you?
desktop
Those files 100% work so it is for sure something on your computer having an issue
i extracted to the desktop
Can I see a screenshot of your game folder?
sorry for bothering you guys again but do you know where the tutorial to play the game offline is? from the youtube channel Megaman-exe
the files are in the description of this video Video. just FYI, this will overloaded your android since it is 4 gb and over 300k sprites. So expect LONG download and extract time
Ok thank you so much
have you tried opening Game-preloaded instead?
ill try that and let you know
the game won't lag, but the setup will
this game isn't made for Android to begin with. So this game isn't made to be preloaded on phone because of the high amount of sprites for this game
but if ppl want to try, we offer the files but it will take a long time to setup
yeah unfortunately nothing we can do on our end since this is an issue with your machine
we can only offer advise based on our game files
thats alright, will try look into it on my end, cheers mate
do you know how many work items are needed for the game to run?
for the registry
no, that isn't something we change or do or even look at lol
This seems like the place to ask so i apologise if its not, but im on mac trying to use homebrew and wineskin to run but it doesnt look like homebrew is actually creating a "/opt/homebrew/bin/brew" path thing for itself. I'm a way out of my depth here so i realistically dont know. Wineskin installed once but Wine Stable didnt and i tried restating the process but i may have just made things worse. this is a cry for help, my brain hurts
Mac is dumb and each model/OS installs homebrew in different locations, but the location doesn't really matter. Are you getting an error or something? I don't understand what your issue is
I'm having the same disconnect issues when trying to install sprites. Would someone be so kind as to link me to the github repo for them, please?
what do you need the sprites for? The game auto installs sprites as you play the game and encounter pokemon
It certainly tries to 😛
yeah you having many network issues lol
Read the top of this channel. Our guides are pinned including how to install the sprites manually
I'm looking at alternative ISPs already, don't worry
Fantastic, thanks.
Okay so i installed hombrew, password yada, the next step says to run "eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"" after that it gives back "zsh: no such file or directory: /opt/homebrew/bin/brew"
wich dont seem right
did you read the prompt you got after installing homebrew?
It says "Next Steps"
it gives you the proper commands to run for your specific OS on the screen
The guide has a lot of commands that hopefully cover the broad range of Mac OS and combinations, but seems like it is missing for where ever yours is being installed
I wish Mac would make up its mind on where things are installed
I was surprised I actually got service from my ISP today. Someone came that ACTUALLY knew what they were doing and they even went to a patching center personally.
AND they believed me that a simple restart wont fix it and the problem is nothing on my end.
they always tell me my modem/router is too old and give me a new one after unplugging and plugging it back in 😆
of course after waiting like 3 weeks
So apparently some other maintenance dude in the patching center broke my patch panel cable...
but he recognized it immediately, got in his car, drove there himself and fixed it.
No; "let me talk to a supervisor", "we will schedule a fix" etc. etc.
I dont even think he restarted my router once.
feelsgoodman
yeah in #1110678444896964628
bingo, it put it in "/usr/local"
1st pinned message
Can you get the guy in general it
The script installs Homebrew to its default, supported, best prefix (/opt/homebrew for Apple Silicon, /usr/local for macOS Intel
so I guess you have macOS intel
so should i change all the commads that use opt to /usr/local?
I am reading your Mac is pretty old and doesn't sell those types of Macs anymore
but yes you would change that out to /user/local anywhere you see /opt/homebrew/
dquote> export PATH=“/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
zsh: permission denied: /usr/local/bin/
zsh: command not found: “
its differnt now at least..
if you type brew into your terminal and press enter, what does your terminal say
my bad
ok cool so go straight to step 4
the other commands for step 3 and 3.1 are for your computer to recognize homebrew, but it seems like it is fine
Is the Pokedex bugged, it won't let me read page 2 and I am using the fusion dex
can you show an example if you have one?
all the way to 7 now, this may be the consequence of my own action with trying this a few times but running 7 tells me that the latest version is already installed but i don't see it in my applications.
When I hit the a button it just goes back right back to the main game and not to the next page
Fused entries are also I believe the 1st half of the first pokemon and 2nd half of the 2nd pokemon
or something like that from what I read a while ago
yeah you would need to uninstall it first then try and reinstall
brew uninstall --cask --no-quarantine gcenx/wine/wineskin
That MIGHT work. I recall that can potentially leave left over files as well
i apologize but

im finding it really hard to instal; the 4 gb files can someone please help me thanks
it says i need to dowload the rpg maker so im kinda confused
only if you are on android, are you?
yeah i am
we are now good up until putting the game in the wineskin app, its an error on my mac "Error while moving file: “InfiniteFusion” couldn’t be moved to “Program Files” because either the former doesn’t exist, or the folder containing the latter doesn’t exist."
what step are you on in the guide?
then follow the guide EXACTLY, it includes links to everything
im on the step it tells me todowload the rpg maker
there should be a link to the files
so step 3?
the first line under step 3, it says Plugin Link and then the hyperlink you click to get the files
wait lemme show you thanks for helping me btw
this one
why do you keep not using our guide lol
im sorry XD
every link is in our guide
yeah but isint that for online playing?
no
so it works without internet as well?
yes, but no
ok letme try
just follow the guide exactly, then worry about all the other things
on it thanks again!
This usually means WineSkin is not supported on your machine, but you can use Wine Stable instead. I have instructions here on how to use. I think I might remake my tutorial to just use Wine also since it seems like WineSkin is a headache for a lot of ppl and kind of an extra layer ppl might not need: [Steps](#tech-support message)
Not me looking at the document to see if people are actually viewing it 
yes that works
the only diff really between Wine Stable and WineSkin is that you are essentially creating a Mac app with the files using WineSkin. So you just double click an app and the game opens.
With Wine Stable, it will emulate more the experience on PC where you open the game folder and open Game.exe to open the game
Thank you so much genuinely didnt think this would work, this is the most helpful i think anyone has ever been for me with like online stuff. did not know you guys were like that and its really cool to see
Appreciate it! I hope you enjoy the game!
I hate myself for asking this and I'm sorry for bothering you again but i got this error. deepest apologies
it gives you steps there....
it is basically saying we know how to solve the error, but this usually means your game won't work
thats unfortunate
In most cases, the game will open to black screen and you will hear music but the screen is still black
nothing on our end we can do to fix that
well i cant hear the music but i see
i really want o play this game so im going to try my computer
but thanks for the help you have been a massive help to me!
Check the sliders in audio
they aren't having an audio issue
no different issue completely lol
Did they uninstall and reinstall?
It is an android issue. They get compile error which tends to be a not compatible issue with their device
Oh. So it's not pc
Ofc. Lol
yeah just scroll a tiny bit up to see we talking about JoiPlay 😆
Hey I'm having an issue on mobile. I know the game isnt made for mobile but the beginning cutscene loads extremely slow (~2 to 6 frames a second) then the game plays as normal. is there a way to remove the intro cutscene or fix the framerate issue?
Hey @ember kestrel! 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.
I don't suggest it, but you can go to Graphics/Pictures/ and delete the Intro folder. It will make it a black screen instead
I also just had the prompt "RPG Maker isnt responding" with wait or close sooo that is a bit concerning
yeah the game isn't optimized for android at all so just solely depends on your device
just did a clean reinstall using Megamans preload for steam deck. using preloaded exe, getting some stutters while walking like this message here -> #tech-support message

I'll try deleting the intro as a last resort before completely removing/reinstalling everything. thanks!
yeah that is normal on steam deck
Cause os is dumb
is it? game ran with no issues for me on v5 
i've only ever seen 2 games that require more power than this
League
and Crysis
and one of those isn't playable
guessing changing vram won't help me will it?
On steam deck you have a lot of different customizations you can try. I know some ppl perfer less cores for some games like this, others perfer more. Limit FPS also. Just have to play around with it if you really want to try and fix it, but this game has a lot of optimization improvements that can be made so you will see fps dips/drops going from one map to another or moving around in the PC boxes once you have a lot of pokemon
For some reason the auto-gen sprites MELT my performance on steam deck. must be something in the script with how they are called.
yeah pc I'm used to it being really rough from all the backend nans which is fine, the drops just while running down a hallway is what's gettin to me. you mention fewer cores, I thought the SMT bug was fixed with 3.5?
Me, who beated the game in a Samsung J7: 
Shit, old androids work better with PIF than new androids. Good call
yeah but just tinkering with any setting could work. I know for emulators some games work with less cores over some others for no reason lol
I mean, the only issue I had was the long ass loading screen, everything else worked perfectly
also seems like no 2 steam decks are alike so settings vary person to person. Someone the other day opens preloaded with 311k sprites in 2 seconds somehow. Not even using OLED, just og steam deck
Yep, same for my s9+. game ran perfectly. Any of my newer android devices: complete ass.
presumably mine should be better than stock since I've replaced the backplate with a vented one and changed tim, but 4 pauses moving 3 tiles just hurts my soul
for mac is this supposed to happen?
that is an Unarchiver message, not from us
you can ignore/close it
ok perfect
Synchronization primitives. If you don't have hardware accelerated emulation, essentially for each core you add adds extra synchronization checks for any common data to prevent race conditions in the emulated code.
Sorry, nerdsniped, had to mess around with it a lot trying to figure out why a linux dev vm choked hard when I added more cores :')
which EXE are you opening for the game?
preloaded as I saw your message about normal stutter could be from sprite issues and to run alt launcher instead. was getting the same stutters with game.exe after updating
ah, so far it seems people have a better time opening Game.exe on Steam Deck. On PC it is the other way around
hm, I'll try that in a moment then. just grabbed powertools and disabled smt to see if it's the good ol' curse
Since you still get the perf improvements from the files I provided having all the sprites in them
Hmmm interesting. I should add game.exe to my library as well and check if there is a noticable diff.
disabling smt resulted in the same number of pauses but significantly shorter, trying game.exe now
Convo about using Game.exe over Preloaded on Steam Deck: [Link](#tech-support message)
yeah, exact same outcome
yeah last time I suggested it, it worked for them as well
game.exe with smt disabled almost got rid of it, but it's still there 
GE 8-30, freshly grabbed
good point though, sometimes experimental works magic for no reason
So, uh, I ported the new name generator code to C#, and I was wondering if there was someone I could poke regarding getting an OK to release that code? It is after all a straight up plagiarism, certainly derivative :').
Right now said code spits out a 14 megabyte large json file with information in it, and if I could skip redistributing the json file and redistribute my ported code instead that would be a 'bit' lighter. Rest of the program is open source under a MIT license.
It's fine if that's not alright, just figured I'd ask.
(tried checking the git blame on the name generator code, but the commit just says 'update to latest 6.0' by infinitefusion :))
you'd have to ask the creator if you want permission to copy/paste his code in your app
Hey quick question, I'm installing the android version for the first time in my device, but when extracting the zip file, it says some files already exist, is this normal?
Yeah thats probably something to go over with Frog when he is around
No that doesn't sound normal, but since it is replacing files it should be ok. But it also suggests that it was there to begin with
I'm tapping on "Extract to infinitefusion..." wich should create it's own folder, right?
yes correct, that is very odd
Thanks <3
And during that same extraction it says it found an already existing file, and its asking me to either skip it or overwrite it
oo ok yes this is fine. There are like 2-4 files it complains about in git and that is one of them
the file name just triggered me into remembering
Oh okay, sorry for not sending the screenshot earlier, my gallery got filled with sprites from the game
It happens on PC as well with the latest version straight from Git
So should I just replace?
yes
Alr, thanks megaman
so, seeing the same behavior with GE 8.30, 8.0-5, 7.0-6, Experimental. Stutter is better with SMT disabled but still present. Seems to be something load related, once I get thru the corner I can backtrack with no issue but if the map is unloaded/reloaded, I hit the stutter on the exact same tiles. There's 3 events when you take this corner in Silph Co while Rocket is there.
Also because this game isn't made for android, the sprites will appear in your gallery. If you delete them from your gallery, it deletes from the game as well
We have some instructions on how to turn that off depending how your photos are setup on android
Yeah I get those too, some places are worse than others. One of the towns has 3 right in front of the pokecenter.
Im getting GE 8.30 now and checking if its worse than before. since ive never found them too intrusive.
if im experiecning a lot of lag in level ups and loading zones is there aynthing i can do to fix it?
Read the top of this channel. All our fixes and performance suggestions are pinned
Forgot to mention, game is on the internal SSD and not on my sd card
i've launched if through steam but my controllers won't connect at all
can if use joycons?
Hi I have an issue when I arrived in goldenrod, my text boxes seem to have vanished so I see the writing with no text box
This game doesn’t have native controller support so you’d have to setup your joycons using instructions from the internet on how to do that through Bluetooth
okay, i just read that i can use betterjoy for that, thanks!
It is a known issue in just that spot. We have a bug for it
Ok no worries so once I leave the area should be fixed ?
Yes it should but double check with us. That spot in goldenrod is the issue, but it will be fine everywhere else. Trying to find the bug
Im in ilex forest and still have no text box
can you share a screenshot?
oh Android. We can't fix android issues since the game is not developed for android and this is a different issue than I thought it was
Ahh ok thats unfortunate
you can try going to the Pokemon Center -> Talking to Update Man -> Select Fix Game
see if that helps at all
nice!
Thanks for the help
It does seem that disabling SMT does indeed slightly increase performance on the steam deck, but nothing game changing IMO
You have OG steam deck also or OLED?
OLED
I get a fixed 40fps on general gameplay with 1x speed. with minor freezes on loading zones and huge fps drops on teaching moves to/moving around auto-gen fusions in particular.
the latter has me quite confused, but it is very consistent
Oh interesting. I wonder why it is still lagging on auto gens. There was a sprite cache implemented too so when I go in my box and go over an auto gen it lags. But anytime after it is a lot better
1 Sec, that made me think of something

Nope, thought it was kurays big-icons not working with the cache, but even with it disabled it drops to 4 fps when moving around the auto-gen.
I dont mind though, dont see a reason to use auto gens anyway. only encounter them as coincidental fusions from evolutions anyway
Oh you using Kuray? That actually has slower performance on Steam Deck than just regular game
Yeah im getting normal on here as we speak to test whether i can reproduce it there too.
I loaded up KIF the other day and was lagging a lot more
Im working on a small merge where I just add the large icons and demice to base PIF. since that is all I want Kuray for.
The box icons?
but im willing to take some shitty drops on autogens, no need to bother PIF with it
So far two of us couldn’t change out icons in the normal game. Just swapping out the files didn’t work, but maybe it works for you
I was trying to add missing icons to Pokemon missing them and someone else was adding custom icons, and neither worked for us
I think Kuray simply uses a script which overwrites the normal method for getting the icon and then pulls the right sprite from the index.
but it still requires a lot of digging and checking if it is even compatible in the current state
Yeah I figured you needed to make a script change too since just swapping out the file wasn’t working. Same with music files
From yday [convo](#tech-support message)
ive found remnants of online wondertrading 
Nevermind, its good old fake wondertrade named onlinewondertrade for some reason 🥸
the only "online" referances are if you get a custom spriute with the actual discord name of that spriter
Just a tip whenever you see that, that means you paste it in an extra space at the very end of the line so it is waiting for you to press, enter or type something on afterwards
Good evening, I have just brought the launcher under this unstable version, it will no longer receive any updates. BUT I'm going to completely rewrite it entirely in another framework (the project is half abandoned) and normally it will be available for MacOS, Linux and Windows if no problem
I just move to WPF to AvaloniaUI
And then we will do gladiatorial combat between your gui launcher and Megamans gui installer 
all kidding aside, thats good to hear. Many less tech-knowledgeable people seemed to really be attracted to a launcher.
followed the guide got his please help
You are trying to uninstall homebrew when you don’t have homebrew?
oh yeah maked sence knowthanks
hello!!
so basically i can't put sprites into my game (ones that arent in the game already)
Are you getting an error?
for info, ive taught him how to do that, in that case we found out ssunday has no indexed folders
but has played before
yeah what warmaker said
If you've never seen the a head fusion of the mon, you won't have a folder for it
In that case, create one
the issue is, ssunday has NO indexed folders at all
If you've never seen a pikachu fusion, make a folder in indexed named 25
and he has played before
i've seen head fusions of lots of pokemon im like half-way through modern mode lol
also im pretty sure im on dynamic
Do you have 2 custombattlers folders or something?
ssunday has only the .gitkeep file in the indexed folder
nope
Can you take a screenshot and show us your graphics folder please
So, i've had something similar happen where it wasnt generating new indexed folders for species. but then the game would just always display a grey questionmark for those species fusions. After adding the indexed folder manually then it would correctly start showing sprites again for those species.
but it sounds like you are seeing fusions.
We won’t be able to help unless we see your files rather than secondhand information
one second the keyboard im using rn doesn't do screenshots for some reason
win+shift+s aint working either?
or just launching snipping tool like a caveman from the search bar
I do it like that...

here ya go
Graphics folder please not this one
alr
Also, you don’t have OneDrive turned on in this folder, right?
Actually, it looks like you do one drive will mess up your files
ohh
It will override your files based on what you have in OneDrive
judging by the status symbol it is turned on
so how would i turn it off
thats why we have the tech nerd geniuses here
i wouldnt have think about the onedrive shit 😄
You would have to Google it because everyone’s OneDrive set up is very different.
onedrive doesnt play nicely with PIF 
I personally just uninstall OneDrive whenever I see it lol
same 😄
you can exclude folders with right click I think. but im not sure. google is your friend here
if i want to save something, ill use my usb flash, or external HDD
Yeah, but that further proves that there’s like 10 different ways to use OneDrive so it’s hard to give instructions to someone for it 😂
We use it at my job for storage of sensitive documents, as microsoft is liable if they get leaked then 💰
I like 💰
if i just delete onedrive will that mess anything up with my computer?
That is hard to say, depending how it was set up on your computer. Some computers won’t work without OneDrive if it is tied to your user account, for example
Easiest would probably be to reinstall it in a non-onedrive location
We would still have to troubleshoot your files, but turning off OneDrive would be the first step
ok unlinked it
Ok now can you take a screenshot of InfiniteFusion/Graphics
I’m picking up my mom from the airport, so if I stop answering that is why lol
Ok great and another screenshot inside of CustomBattlers
trashed the sprites in there i didn't just not do the steps to clarify
Ok great, so then it looks like these folders are ok now and I don’t see onedrive in there anymore either
So whatever you were trying to do earlier should work and the sprites will start populating here without being overridden/removed
alr! thanks megaman
No prob! Let me know if you have further issues
..so it kinda didn't work
should i talk to the update man or something to try
im real sorry
note: onedrive fucks up the sprite adding ...
does installing spirte pack like this
work the same as getting the file from #announcements and dragging it into the folder place?
or do i have to do both of them?
Yes it will do the same thing
Thank you.
Just fyi, the launcher is discontinued now as well so if you have issues with it in the future, we won’t have fixes
It will break next game update
what kind of issues?
I’m back now. So what isnt working?
like i wont be able to run the game?
possibly
Correct. Play button won’t work
damn
You can keep using if it is working for you currently but just fyi
it just like
isn't working ngl
name is correct
file is a png
i put it in custombattlers
(the thing is the folders in indexed ain't showing up either)
is there going to be an alternative?
already is
the lite installer
it was the installer made during the 5.3 era by Hungry Pickle
right now that is the most stable way to play/update the game
how do i download it/find it?
2nd most stable now
whats more stable?
My installer is handling cases it can’t now 
?tag downloads
You can download the game from #downloads!
there are guides pinned in this channel for every device
This is the one I was referring to. Adding more functionality this week so it can open your game as well so a launcher lite
***(GAME & SPRITE INSTALLER)- *** Installs the Game & Preloaded Sprites for you -> Guide
Never understood what preloaded sprites are, am i going to be missing some new sprites?
They are just sprites if you wanna play the game offline or if you have performance issues
oh thats all?
Yep
also last question, am i going to lose my saved data?
Nope, that is stored in a separate folder completely
You can delete your game folder and your data will still be there
okay thank you.
i did try this (it didn't work)
so when you did this, when you reopened the game, did it say a custom sprite was found?
nope
and the sprite is still in your folder CustomBattlers?
mhm
Can I see a screenshot of your InfiniteFusion folder? Where Game.exe is
interesting that your game and game-default file have no icons
Is this inside your Documents/infinite/InfiniteFusion folder?
Anyone know why nothing happens when I click "install or update"?
a cmd prompt isnt opening?"
nope
so no window opens? nothing?
correct
that is a computer issue
wild
you should check if your anti virus is blocking it first though
sounds like it is being blocked
If you need instructions, add the folder the files are in using this: Link
Find out how to stop Windows Security from alerting you about or blocking a trusted file, file type, or process, by adding it to the exclusions list.
yes it is :) sorry for late response
Ok I would suggest deleting the Data folder completely and rerunning INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat so that your script files get repopulated and reinstalled
This would essentially reinstall the game without needing to delete your whole folder or sprites
im not gonna lose progress or anything, correct?
Correct. Your save is stored in a completely different folder so you can actually delete your game folder and your save will still be there
alr deleted and reinstalled
now just add the sprites in?
the sprite should still be there I believe you said?
ah yea
but either way yes, it should hopefully do its job 🙂
can I see the file?
so it is a problem on my end 
yeah it just doesn't make sense because you essentially reinstalled the game.
Can I see a screenshot of where you placed the sprite?
just to double check but I am pretty sure you put it in the right spot
and if you right click the file and click properties, can I double check the file properties?
After this I have just one more place I can think of to check, but I am running out of ideas
hm, could be the security part?
oooo
that might be it!
unblock it, but I've never seen that security message on a sprite before
i wonder if that is why we don't see icons on your files too, wonder if your computer/anti virus is blocking the files in the game
Shouldn't it go into indexed > 79 ?
theres nothing in my indexed folder
the game should index it itself
Or is that just for mobile
also random thing that prob doesn't apply but i found the index of sprites like it but in the battlers folder
yeah they are in both.
CustomBattlers = Custom Sprites
Battlers = Auto Gen Sprites
oh kk
Sorry I was testing my last suggestion. But it doesn't work the way I thought it did.
I am wondering if running our sprite installer and resetting your Graphics folder with it would help?
I honestly have no idea what is going on, on your end.
delete or reset?
also i have no idea what ya mean by sprite installer sorry
We have a sprite installer: Link
It will basically clean out your Graphics/CustomBattlers folder and install the sprites for you
Assuming that your game is working and will index them for you after
Correct, you can click on the Sprite Menu and select the Install Custom Sprites option
anyone realized its still in onedrive...?
..it is? 
Yeah, but the synch stopped
Wait until the installer is done
alr installer is currently doing its thing
i hope youre not in the onedrive path now .. directly run it on your desktop
onedrive just make things too complicated ...
so the sprite installer works!
should i try to do the add sprite other stuff etc?
Yeah, there is a Sprite in the repo that’s not formatted correctly left in there
That is for the sprite team to fix😀
But yeah try adding your sprite now
hours of work just to add 1 damn sprite ....... 😄
Looks like my sprite installer feature of cleaning out your sprites worked 🙂
i just gave you the start, megaman did 98% 😄
if i ever meet something liuke that again ill tell the person to delete the game, uninstall onedrive and fresh install the game without onedrive xD
well reinstalling the game didnt solve
using the sprite installer to clear out their sprites and reinstall the custom sprites did
okay ... then ill send them all over to you if i ever notice another onedrive user xD
without onedrive its not a problem ... but onedrive makes everything 4 times more difficult 😄
From clicking in game?
The game has no mouse controls, so there's no reason to click anything
I downloaded infinite fusion and got the desktop shortcut done and all that but when i try to download the actual game from the desktop shortcut after opening it, it either closes before the download starts or the dowload is just stuck at 0%. Can anyone help me with that
Can you show us what you mean?
no i didn't, i can't really show it but when I downloaded the file from discord did the install and then opened it after the actual download inside of the game wouldn't work
So you installed InfiniteFusion.zip right?
yes
You extracted it and now you are opening INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat
yes
Is there a specific version i need to download to get it working with joiplayer on android? Im getting a black map (void) when i launch
Hey @brisk mortar! 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.
We would need a screenshot of the black window that opens when opening that file to troubleshoot the issue
if it gets stuck at 0%, that is a network issue
no no no so here let me explain it differently
The bot below your message answered your question. our guide is linked there. If you don't follow the steps, the game won't work
a screenshot would be better honestly
so i got al that done the install and got the .zip and when i open the actual icon for the game it won't load
and ok let me try to get it real quick
So this is what you see right?
Are you opening Game or Game-preloaded?
Preloaded won't work without extra steps
game game
So double click game nothing opens?
no it opens and then it says "install" and then i click on it, it either closes after a few mins or it just sits there stuck
Can you show us what you are seeing? Opening the game doesn’t give you another button to install
im saying from the launcher
Don’t use the launcher. You are mixing up two different things.
The launcher is discontinued. Also it isn’t on our download list anymore.
I keep getting the error with default bgm 76 issue ive seen mentioned a few times is there a known fix?
i am having trouble dowloading the game had the download link changed
Written guide: [Link](#tech-support message)
Do you have a screenshot of the error?
Weird glitch, Ive been streaming the game for my friends. No lag, sprites start vanishing and the music just disappears randomly. So I restarted the game and that fixed that. But a new glitch has entered when the Party Menu hard lags when both opening it. Trying to use a healing item and switching my party. Re-Restarting the game did not fix it
Get the preloaded sprite pack to play preloaded mode so there's less stress on your internet
Already done
Thats what I’ve been doing
There’s no lag on loading either
just the party menu
Which is why this is a weird glitch
I am using a Noctowl + Eevee since I haven’t gotten a Shiny Stone yet
Assuming thats an “autogen” sprite
If it looks like it's just one mon's face and colors smashed into the other mon with pixely hands and/or feet, it's an autogen
Yeah
I swapped the sprite settings from "Combined" to "DNA" and it fixed itself
that's very weird
So the launcher is trying to download the game, but when it starts extracting, it closes and reopens the launcher and asks me to install it again
Don’t use the launcher. It is discontinued and not part of the download list
?tag install
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
Follow the guide
You tried opening the preloaded game without setting it up. It doesn’t work out of the box. Open Game.exe instead it requires no setup
will it load the areas faster like preloaded?
No, but if you want preloaded you have to use the Sprite installer to install the sprites
theres new sprites?
You need ALL sprites to play preloaded. All 311,000 of them
i downoad the one for preloaded manuel yes?
The Sprite installer will do it for you. Unless you want to do it manually.
open game.exe and test the performance of the game. If it is slow for you, come back to download the sprites. If your computer/internet is good, you don’t need them
Preloaded is mostly only if you have performance issues
Was there a patch I missed that fixes the new launcher issue? It says install and the when it's done it says install again and never actually installs the new updates, I believe. Just checking to see if I missed something.
Hey there folks
I'm trying to start a new game, but when I press "enter" it isn't accepting my name, nor is it accepting "escape" for to cancel
The launcher isn't even available to download anymore and has been discontinued.
It will never work
Mobil? Go to options and change text input from keyboard to cursor
Ah okay, thanks mate
So back to how I was originally updating the game. Correct?
With the INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat
I click on it now what?
It's working perfectly so far! Thank you so much mate
Ahem, so, i might've done something dumb, and messed up my game. Is there anywhere recent saves are saved for the game?
Why does does it not work
Because you didn't follow the mobile guide
Hey @fast bolt! 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.

There are no backups
If you saved over your file, that's it
nah 💀 i got nosey a bout the suspicious prisms in the tower in lavender town and cheated them in bc curious but i wiped to a trainer in the tower after that and my game saved after that automatically so i couldnt go back xd. I found the switches to disable it tho so I think i fixed my issue
Any solutions to the game crashing against trainers in randomised mode?
if you are on the modern mode patch, you can't randomize trainers
Hey @verbal timber! 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!

preloading the sprites or custom sprites doesn't work. How to fix this?
Try continue first.
But we recommend that you install everything, including the game, on your desktop first. And then move it afterwards. For this exact reason; file permission problems.
i already run the game but even after i tried again this happens in the error log
i downloaded the game, but i don't find the folder with the game in it
where is it ?
most likely where you downloaded it ... in your fownload folder by default
its still there where you downloaded it .. i dont know where you saved it .. in case, you can download again and see where the default folder is
We never move the main folder. All the files are where you personally left them
Thats not something we can help with
If you mean; "i have the folder but don't know how to start the game?'
Check our pins for installation guides.
no i mean that i don't have the file 'game'
i tried 3 time to download it and it says it was successful but i don't have the 'game' file
you have to install the game by running the install_or_update.bat first ......
yes i did that
but first, extract and drag it to the desktop
THEN run the installer
watch the cmd window and watch out for errors
In some routes I've gotten bugs where certain tiles have the wrong texture, but it was never horrible so I didn't bother, but now it's happening in this city, so is there any way to fix this? I've already organized maps 3 times and nothing changed.
If you got your download from the discord, followed the guide exactly, and optimised maps. Then this is the best your device can do.
Hmm I got the download from the website, would that be any different?
Hello, I need help because i can't install the game on windows 11
VERY DIFFERENT. we DO NOT have a website.
All websites are FAKE
Yooo wtf
Well I'm glad I don't have a virus lmfao
Hmm well I hope I can transfer the save from this to the new download -_-
the game launcher tells we dont have a website ... now im asking what version people are running ...
Hello, I downloaded the game today through Discord. But I have huge lags (several minutes) when opening the game, and just moving forward in the game (lag during the cutscene, when launching the game, when I look at my team, when I start a fight...). What can I do to improve the gaming experience?
I wonder if the website owner takes out that script.
they do, they just copy it but dont play the game themselves (anymore) so they dont realize 6.0.5 has the implemented text
Ahh I see, tbh I only joined the server about 10 minutes ago lol so I did not read that
and the installer just updates to the latest version at a fresh install
Wow wtf, that's insane to me lol, I've never seen anything like that. I guess I do mostly just play steam games though
thats why im asking what version your game is
Oh yeah lemme check real quick
Yeah there are 2 main offenders in redistributing our game (with or without malware)
There are talks among tech support to try and take them down, but that may or may not work.
Game version 6.0.2 is what I have
that explains ... get a fresh install from #downloads as ymir said before .. delete the game folder you got from that fake site
I'm assuming it's outdated then?
yea
Also can I transfer the save from the website download to the official one?
And a security risk, and fullllll of bugs
latets version is 6.0.5
Yeah for sure sketch asf
it might work, but it might be better to not use it, it might be corrupted already
the official game might not even notice it
Hmm I see, unfortunate
I'll probably just restart lol
Yeah the website I downloaded it from had wayyy more effort put into it than the "typical" scam website. It looked well designed and everything, so I guess it just didn't trigger my sketchy website sensor lol
youre not the only one, many people fall for it
This is the one I used btw. Funny enough looks like the version on the website was updated to 6.0.5 yesterday
https://pokemoninfinitefusion.net/
yeah, its a fake website
only trustable sources to download is the subreddit, the infinite fusion wiki, this discord and an outdated version at pokecommunity
everything else is fake
Aight homies, I'm gonna dip, but I appreciate the help, thanks 🫡
That update thing is fake. It has said 1 day ago for a whileeee
Pressing enter or escape doesn’t do anything?
We don’t troubleshoot modded/altered files period. My recommendation would be to reinstall
Oh sorry for the inconvenience then I probably will reinstall if I can't get it to work
i've never seen missing srites
