[solemn parcel]

understandable, thank you with everything else

[vestal roost]

how do I get a folder with game.exe because every time I try to install the game on my file it says that game.exe was not found

[blazing python]

that means there was an error. What are you using to install the game?

[vestal roost]

I went to the downloads section in the discord and got the file off of github and followed the instructions

[sterile pivot]

I keep getting multiple random errors when I try to install

[blazing python]

so then the app installer mentions a text file to look at when there is an error. Can you paste the file here?

[blazing python]

can you give us an example with a screenshot? we would need more info to help

[sterile pivot]

here it is

[blazing python]

This is addressed in our pinned messages. The top of this channel mentions fixes are pinned

Shortcut [If you need it](#tech-support message)

[vestal roost]

it doesnt give me any suggestions

[blazing python]

1. This is the page to update the game, not install the game
2. Don't install the game inside of the installer folder

[hushed horizon]

so i have the zip file how do i extract it?

[blazing python]

right click it and select extra all

[vestal roost]

Ohh ok I just realized that thank you for your help.

[hushed horizon]

do i use winwar?

[blazing python]

sure

[hushed horizon]

rar

alright

[blazing python]

use the Extract To option with WinRar

[hushed horizon]

?

oh

i see it

[blazing python]

you should use our new app installer btw. Easier to install and open the game with

***(NEW APP INSTALLER) - *** All-in-one installer and launcher for the game! Stay updated on game and sprite updates -> [Guide](#tech-support message)

[hushed horizon]

dang i just extracted it with winrar is it still good if i use the new installer?

with the zip

[blazing python]

yeah that is fine. you can always delete what you currently have, no problem

[hushed horizon]

alright thanks man u a big help

so glad i looked into this i almost downloaded from the infinitefusion.net

[blazing python]

oh noooo

yeah glad you stopped by!

[tall plover]

does anyone have the hex code for the magic boots?

[hushed horizon]

im not seeing the exe. for the installer?

i extracted the file

[fading igloo]

no
and no ojne gives you a hex code
earn the cheat mode legit like everyone else

[blazing python]

That usually means your anti virus deleted it

[hushed horizon]

hm

[tall plover]

what is your problem

[hushed horizon]

do i need to search a tutorial to stop my anti virus for a bit?

to download it

oh nvm

i see it

it was buried in all the files

[solid warren]

quick question, is the ps5 dualsense controller compatible, because I went to bind my controls, and it recognized the buttons i was pressing, but once binded, the buttons did nothing to the game

[hushed horizon]

so do i click no for this?

i have never played the game before

[blazing python]

Correct, click No

then there will be an install button in the middle

[indigo temple]

Uh

How do I fix this?

[blazing python]

try optimizing your maps in joiplay by long tapping the game in joiplay

[hushed horizon]

Now that the black box popped up do i just let it download now?

[blazing python]

correct

[hushed horizon]

alright

it downloaded

big thanks man

so i dont need to manually download any sprites right? my internet is pretty good most of the time

[indigo temple]

Do I have to restart the game? After pressing it it just put me back where I was with no chanhes

[blazing python]

when you optimize maps, you have to get it so that it says it completed.
if it just crashed/closed on its own, it didnt work

[indigo temple]

K thank you 🙏

[solid warren]

how do i tell if i have all the custom sprites downloaded

[turbid terrace]

Hey @solid warren! 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!

[hushed horizon]

@blazing python so im kinda stuck on this screen

[blazing python]

give it some time, this is where it is loading stuff in the background

[hushed horizon]

oh alright

thanks

[blazing python]

1. Go to your game folder
2. Open Graphics
3. Go to CustomBattlers
4. Go to indexed
5. We have 465 base pokemon so you should at least see 465 folders if you have all of the custom sprites

[indigo temple]

K new problem when I try optimizing the maps.it crashes around the 250s/805

[solid warren]

ok, mine has 500, is that norma;?

[blazing python]

yeah I provide 500 folders in my installers/zip files

[solid warren]

alright, tysm

[blazing python]

yeah that is just based on your device unfortunately. This is just your device and joiplay, we have no control over it

[indigo temple]

Damm, I'm getting a new phone in like a week anyway ill see you guys soon thanks for Trina help

[turbid terrace]

Hey @indigo temple! 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.

[indigo temple]

I know Mr bot

[solid warren]

my controller is not working ;-; halp

[blazing python]

this game doesn't really have controller support. I have a pinned guide to add the game to steam so that it gets the controller support from them: [LINK](#tech-support message)

[solid warren]

ahh alrighty, ty

halp its still not working

[quartz goblet]

I've been watching people play infinite fusion on YouTube how do they get the magic hoops that give access to all items

[blazing python]

they probably cheat to get it in, but you get it normally catching the 465 base pokemon

[blazing python]

Yeah that is hard to troubleshoot because controllers are out of our hands. The game can pick up if a controller is connected to your computer, but the rest depends on your computer

[solid warren]

well like, in the binds menu, its letting me press the buttons and it is recognizing inputs, when i go to actually play the game, it nothing does anything, its like everything is unbound

[quartz goblet]

@solid warren it took me a while to get my controller to also work I had to go and Device Manager and refresh it cuz most of the problem is your computer not picking it up before the game

[solid warren]

probably just a ps5 controller thing

[solid warren]

nah my computer has it picked up, its working rn, just not in game

[blazing python]

yeah remapping doesn't work period for controller in this game

[solid warren]

ah i see lol

lemme try a different controller

[blazing python]

you have to remap via steam

or use Joy2Key to remap

basically anything outside of our game to change it

[quartz goblet]

@solid warren I use a PS3 corded rock candy controller

[solid warren]

yeah ps5 controllers are dumb like that ;-;

[stable cosmos]

So I have the game running on my deck but can I move the file from Desktop to my SD card

I haven’t tried it yet I just want to know if it would work

[blazing python]

Yes you can move saves for any device to another

[stable cosmos]

It wouldn’t mess with the directory?

[blazing python]

it is just copying 1 file over. you aren't moving any directories

my steam deck guide shows you where your save files are stored on steam deck

[stable cosmos]

Ok that’s good

[blazing python]

?tag install

[pearl magnet]

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

[blazing python]

In case you need the video, click the blue tech support bubble above

[stable cosmos]

I followed the guide to download it a few days ago I just wanted to move the game because I’m running out of space on the base ssd

[hushed horizon]

@blazing python i accidently clicked f12 and it restarted the game now in the main menu when i click enter it doesnt start the game

[blazing python]

uh oh. Yeah f12 currently crashes the game. Does it freeze or something?

[hushed horizon]

it froze

and then said it had to force quit

[blazing python]

have you tried completely closing the game and reopening it yet?

[hushed horizon]

about to boot up the game again

it only happens when i click f12

[onyx marlin]

is it just me, or does poison not always activate when it should?

[blazing python]

yeah that button was used to reset the game to make it faster for like hunting shinies, but it is broken right now

[blazing python]

do you have an example?

[onyx marlin]

i just beat the 5th gym whith my charizard/clefable being toxiced, and it not taking damage from it

i often see the poison from my nidokings's poison body also do no damage as well

[hushed horizon]

@blazing python so i just booted up the game and the same problem is happening

stuck in the main menu

[blazing python]

I am seeing reports of poison not working on the clefairy line for some reason

well people in discord asking about it happening to them, but we have no bug for it

[blazing python]

it might have corrupted your save...

Can you upload your save file here? I wonder if I can load it up and save somewhere else for you

[fading igloo]

just asking .. do we talk about inbattle or outside of battle?

[hushed horizon]

uh how do i do that?

[onyx marlin]

in battle

it did damage outside of battle when i walked

[blazing python]

1. Go to your game folder
2. Open the shortcut named SaveFile
3. You will see your saves here
4. Drag that here in discord

[hushed horizon]

so it doesnt have anything personal in it?

oh it worked

[blazing python]

yeah if you can create a #1142871804269052004 for this, it would help so the dev can fix. If you have an example/screenshots or if you put as much info that would help

[blazing python]

it worked now?

[hushed horizon]

yea

[blazing python]

ok great!

[onyx marlin]

i already healed

[verbal timber]

see if you can't get into a battle that would allow you to get one of the instances of this back

[ripe sedge]

My download would freeze and errors would occur

[blazing python]

This is a network issue on your end

We have more info [Here](#tech-support message)

[ripe sedge]

I tried restarting it, is there anything else I can do?

[blazing python]

read the link I posted above. It has tips, but ultimately it is your network

[hushed horizon]

i might be softlocked

been on this for a good 5 minutes

nvm

got it

@blazing python is there a way to fullscreen the game?

[blazing python]

Go to your in game settings, there is a screen size option

[hushed horizon]

@blazing python is it taking a long time to pull out pokemon because its downloading the sprites?

[blazing python]

when you encounter a pokemon it downloads the sprites, creates a folder, and sorts the sprites to those folders. If your computer isn't that fast, it will lag your game

So you can install the sprites ahead of time to help with this process or run the game preloaded.

[verbal timber]

granted you'd still need a download of the sprites to use preloaded

just a much bigger file

[faint valve]

i dont quite understand how to drag the new sprite pack so i just moved it onto the folder, not sure if im doing it right though

[turbid terrace]

Hey @faint valve! 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!

[verbal timber]

you are not

[blazing python]

Yeah you move CustomBattlers to your Graphics folder or use our new App Installer that will do it for you

[verbal timber]

• download the zip file
• extract the zip file
• open the sprite pack folder
• right click the custom battler folder
• select Cut
• find your Infinite Fusion Folder
• go into the Graphics Folder
• right click in that folder in an empty space and select paste

your pc will merge the 2 custom battler folders

nothing else in the sprite pack is needed

[blazing python]

Or use the App installer. You select the folder and press install sprites 🙂

[faint valve]

ah i see, im playing with the app installer so im not sure if im supposed to. I did get a message their were new custom sprites after opening the app installer so am i supposed to download something within the app installer or is it done already?

[solid warren]

megaman, my controller works when i open game.exe, but when i go to open game-preloaded.exe the controller no longer works

[blazing python]

That means there are new custom sprites you can download, IF you'd like.

You can click the Sprite Menu and click Install Custom Sprites and it will do it for you

[faint valve]

Thanks for the help!

[blazing python]

yeah that is a common issue, but we have no fix for it since I mentioned we don't really have controller support that well

[solid warren]

ahh i see

does running just normal game.exe run a lot slower than running the preloaded one?

[blazing python]

you can try deleting the keybinding file in your save folder to see if that helps

[solid warren]

my pc is pretty damn good so it should be fine

[solid warren]

noted, will try

[verbal timber]

which controller are you attempting to use

[blazing python]

ps5

[solid warren]

ps5, an xbox1 controller doesnt work either tho

[verbal timber]

xbox works by default

on both game and game-preloaded

double check your controller has the most updated firmware

ps5 wise, you'd likely need to run the game through steam for, since sony has different software in their stuff it isn't always 100% compatible with windows programs by default

[verbal timber]

I just ran my game-preloaded and it was taking controller inputs, and I have an xbox one controller

[solid warren]

deleting the save and relaunching worked, thanks megaman!

[quiet ibex]

my game isn't uploading sprites

it crashed after this message

[blazing python]

the location where you installed the game doesn't have permissions to write data in

[quiet ibex]

so do i have to re install?

[blazing python]

either give your folder permission or move your whole InfiniteFusion folder somewhere else like your desktop

[quiet ibex]

oh, kk, thx

[arctic iris]

I followed the guide for steam deck and launched q4wine and the game still won't launch for me

[quiet ibex]

i followed the instruction video on how to download updated sprites, but how do i upload new sprite i made myself?

[blazing python]

If you read the top of our channel, it mentions our FAQ is pinned 🙂

Link: HERE YOU GO

[blazing python]

We still haven’t solved why a very small number of steam deck users have that issue. It is a steam deck issue somewhere

[quiet ibex]

how do i tell which pokedex number to put first in the file name 😅

[blazing python]

Depends on the fusion. Head of your fusion goes first

[neat heron]

Um, howdy, I hope I'm not stepping out of place here. I just started playing yesterday, and am outside Mt. Moon. I went to reverse one of my fusions in my PC (a nidoran/paras), but then backed out at the "are you sure?" menu. I then no longer had the option to reverse the fusion. I backed out of the PC, and my one reverser was gone. My guess is for some reason the reverser was consumed when I initially clicked Reverse even though I did not end up going through with the reversal. Am I making a mistake? Or should I add this to #1142871804269052004 ?

[frank oasis]

im having trouble installing it on mac

[wise cove]

the wine and homebrew part of it^^

[wise cove]

@blazing python you made the mac install video right? can you help with this please

[proper forge]

When using pokeradar my icons are just this

[turbid terrace]

Hey @proper forge! Are you having trouble with the Pokéradar? You get it from the scientist in Cerulean City's Pokécenter. She gives you the Exp share as a quest reward there, and then will go to Route 24, where she will give you the radar.
When using it, make sure you have a repel active, or else you may only get regular encounters.
More info here: https://infinitefusion.fandom.com/wiki/Pokéradar

[proper forge]

My game is randomized if that helps

[fading igloo]

pokeradar doesnt work in randomizer

[proper forge]

that's a shame tbh

so does it make the pokeradar quest impossible?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @proper forge! Are you having trouble with the Pokéradar? You get it from the scientist in Cerulean City's Pokécenter. She gives you the Exp share as a quest reward there, and then will go to Route 24, where she will give you the radar.
When using it, make sure you have a repel active, or else you may only get regular encounters.
More info here: https://infinitefusion.fandom.com/wiki/Pokéradar

[proper forge]

I did end up finding all of the encounters and she's telling me to find a buneary

[fading igloo]

no, just harder since randomizer might switch the encounters you need to another route

[proper forge]

could I use the ||debug menu|| to complete the encounter or the quest?

[fading igloo]

at that point you should have the pokeradar already

[proper forge]

oh I have it already

been trying to use it

This is just what it looks like

okay I did manage to use the menu to fix it

shame that the pokeradar doesn't work with rando

[worthy warren]

Download it on my phone I followed the guide exactly but somehow I'm just In a void outside is worse bc there's its literally just black no sprites no nothing only made it this far cus I remember how palet town plays out

[turbid terrace]

Hey @worthy warren! 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.

[worthy warren]

I am using joiplay though

[fading igloo]

follow the link the bot gave you

[blazing python]

Optimize your maps in joiplay

[fading igloo]

or that

[blazing python]

What’s up?

[blazing python]

Did you still need help?

[wise cove]

ah we just had a little bit of problems with wine, i think we are caught up now tho

[blazing python]

Oh ok so you solved your problem?

[wise cove]

I think for now yes

[blazing python]

Ok great!

[wise cove]

am i free to ping if we come across another problem?

[blazing python]

Yeah I am always around so let me know!

[worthy warren]

How do I do that?

[blazing python]

Long tap the game in joiplay and you will see it

[worthy warren]

Thanks

[frank oasis]

do i update this so i can create a wrapper?

[wise cove]

@blazing python

[blazing python]

Yes click the Update button

[wise cove]

this has taken us like 3 hours 😭

[blazing python]

Well you should have let me know sooner. If WineSkin isn’t working, I have a different way

[wise cove]

is the other way easier or just a different way?

[blazing python]

You have wine installed at least right?

[wise cove]

yeah I think hes pretty deep into it now

[blazing python]

Then do these steps: [Instructions](#tech-support message)

If you have wine stable installed you can open the game with Wine

[worthy warren]

I'm still in the void and whenever I do optimize maps it stops at about 200

[blazing python]

Yeah we can’t do anything about that. This is an issue with your device and Joiplay

[fresh coral]

So im on phone trying to play Infinite Fusions, but when i start up the game it looks like that, can anyone help

[turbid terrace]

Hey @fresh coral! 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.

[blazing python]

Long tap the game in joiplay and you will see optimize maps

[frank oasis]

Do I have to wait for unarchiver to finish to continue with this?

[blazing python]

Set that to game.exe

[wise cove]

unarchiver hasnt even finished unzipping it yet tho LOL

[blazing python]

That is one slow toaster lol

[frank oasis]

Deadass 😭

[wise cove]

its been 4 hours now I think..?

[wise cove]

uh we dont have the option to?

[wise cove]

@blazing python its finally running, does he have to unzip and transfer all the sprites now too?

[rigid silo]

Just jumping in; If I understand correctly you have the game working?

If so: you dont need any sprites at all as long as you are playing with a stable internet connection. It will automatically download all the newest sprites as you encounter them. Any issues you have with sprites loading etc. you can just post here and then we can help you work around them.

[flat idol]

can i use a ps5 controller natively somehow? With DS5 or steam??

[keen shard]

help me ! please

[rigid silo]

Steam, check the pins

[flat idol]

i fixed it

i wasnt emulating the controller

thank you sir

[rigid silo]

Gonna need more context than "help me!" mate.
So a couple of questions for you:

Where did you download the game from?
What were you doing when it crashed?
Did you change any files at all?

[keen shard]

and no generally I only touch the bottom folder because you have to install them otherwise none

[rigid silo]

Where did you download the game from?
What were you doing when it crashed?

[keen shard]

I just restarted the game to change saves and otherwise I did the quest with the eevee

[rigid silo]

Now that last part is what I was looking for

We already have a bug report for this -> https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1181003538952880218

Its a bug that happens under very specific circumstances (I think you are the second person ive seen with this problem).
So fark I know of no method to fix this.

[keen shard]

So what will it do for my backup?

[rigid silo]

You can probably just launch a backup if you have one

[keen shard]

ok but I speak for the one where the game crashed?

[rigid silo]

thats not a backup then is it?

that one is probably fucked, but you can always try

[keen shard]

I think you just opened the menu with "X" and you do "tile screen" without saving I think

[maiden narwhal]

it said there are new sprites what i click to update it
?
what i click so i update it

[rigid silo]

You only need those if you are playing on preloaded.
New sprites will download automatically when playing with game instead of game-preloaded

If you HAVE to play preloaded, check the guides. I'm not familiar with this new installer yet. I probably should

[terse pier]

where are the shiny sprites stored

hello can anyone answer my questions

[rigid silo]

Be patient. we get to questions when we get to them.
You only waited 4 minutes.

[rigid silo]

Nowhere, they are calculated

[terse pier]

what do you mean

[rigid silo]

shinies are not stored in ANY files. There is code that calculates what they should look like.

[terse pier]

is there a way to get those sprites

[rigid silo]

No not easilly I think

[cursive pawn]

save file shortcut won't open

???

[rigid silo]

Are you on windows?

And did you at least generate 1 save?

(since it is an %appdata% folder, it gets generated by the game when a first save is created)
(Any other operating system will not have the saves in this folder, since the game is only designed for windows)

[stable cosmos]

If I delete the game and redownload it will the save still work

[sand imp]

Any idea which file I'd need to replace to change the wild pokemon encounter theme in Kanto in this case? I haven't been paying much attention to this server lately, so I'm kinda outta the loop, I just saw the notif last night actually

[elfin bear]

Really sorry, Know this is probably a rookie error and a frequently asked question.
I downloaded the fake game and ran the .bat attached what are the steps I need to take to be safe?

[blazing python]

Yes

[blazing python]

Delete the whole folder the files are in, delete the zip you downloaded, and run a virus scan

[elfin bear]

Thankyou, doing that as we speak.
Excited to get into the game and just sort of got swept up by Youtube Shorts. Thanks for the help!

[tawdry garnet]

I tried updating my game, got this message...what does that mean?

[fading igloo]

that you shouldnt start preloaded ......

[stable cosmos]

Can I move my saves over to my sd card as well

[fading igloo]

you can move your save files on every flash drive, even on a sd card ... you just wont be able to play from there

[stable cosmos]

Because I put the games onto my sd card and now the saves won’t load

[fading igloo]

thats what i said, you cant start from a sd card ... drag it on another pc in the correct folder

[blazing python]

The save file location is in a specific place. If it isn’t in that folder, it won’t be used in your game

[stable cosmos]

Alright I’ll put it back

[blazing python]

Preloaded is only used if you have performance issues or want to play offline. This doesn't work out of the box, you need to set it up.

If this isn't the reason you want to play preloaded, then open Game.exe since that one doesn't require any setup to open the game.

[fading igloo]

why are you still awake? when do you sleep bro xD

[tawdry garnet]

Thank you so much

[blazing python]

https://tenor.com/view/serio-no-nop-robot-robot-down-gif-12270251

[weary glade]

Okay I shouldn't have been messing with my Joiplay

Now my game crashes everytime I go to Vermillion

[stable cosmos]

Just cleared the shader cache does that mean my sav is gone?

[verbal timber]

on pc? no

your save is stored away from the game files

so clearing your shader cache shouldn't affect your saves in any capacity

[stable cosmos]

Steam deck which I believe is a PC

[verbal timber]

technically its a linux based rig but yeah

[stable cosmos]

Because the games are still saying I don’t have a sav

[verbal timber]

in that instance, I'm not 100% sure

[stable cosmos]

Am I able to load the sav by its self

[blazing python]

You need to use my Steam deck guide to find your save file. You kinda making it harder than it is 😅

[stable cosmos]

I’ll rewatch it

[blazing python]

Especially if you added/removed the game from Steam, it changes where your save data folder is

And clearing shader cache on steam deck lowers performance for the games you removed the shader cache for

[stable cosmos]

I should probably just swap out my ssd because the whole reason I’m in this dilemma is because of low storage

[blazing python]

Yup or only install games you are actually playing at the moment. I know most ppl download a lot of games just for looks vs actually what they play lol

[stable cosmos]

Found File B, what now

[blazing python]

So you created a new save file and found it right?

[stable cosmos]

No I just followed the guide to find the original savs

[blazing python]

So File B is the save file you want right?

[stable cosmos]

Yeah

[blazing python]

So what you need to do is save/move that somewhere you can find it easier.

Open the game and create a new save file in a weird slot like slot G to find it easier.

Find this File G file. This will be the location of where your game is currently looking for save files. This is where you would put file B in

[stable cosmos]

Would this work with other games?

[blazing python]

I can only speak for this game

Each game saves their files differently

[warm tinsel]

Does the game run on Android? Because I haven't been able to get it running

[turbid terrace]

Hey @warm tinsel! 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]

Yup, guide above^^

[stable cosmos]

There’s three which one do I pick

[blazing python]

Use the timestamp on the file

Right click it and select properties to see which is the one that was just created. I find that Steam deck sometimes lists dupes of the same file so they might all be the same one

[slate sluice]

i am using the installer to download the sprite manually, it failed halfway, if i redownload it again does it restart the whole download or the progress remains?

[stable cosmos]

I am Big Dumb just scroll

[stable cosmos]

Why are you downloading the sprites manually?

[slate sluice]

I mean the sprite menu thing

[stable cosmos]

You might have to wait for them to come back because I don’t have to much experience with how this game works

[twin fossil]

hey, it is possible to connect my ps4 controller to the game

[empty mauve]

how do u get the randomizer folderand and how u get the magic boots

hey does anyone know

[fast bolt]

Randomizer: Save once and start a new game
Magic Boots: Complete the unfused pokedex on a save that has never even looked at randomizer options.

Neither of those are tech support questions

[outer gazelle]

I found a glitch what do i do?

[gentle sedge]

Hello everyone, having an issue where I have been playing the game up until 1st gym, added the latest upate and since then I can not find pokemon in grass at all. Any Ideas?

[rigid silo]

Post it here and we'll see if its actually a bug

[rigid silo]

try going to the update man in a pokecenter and have him fix game.

If you dont mind me asking, where did you download the game/update?

[verbal timber]

in theory yes

[worldly fern]

Hello, I downloaded the file from Mediafire and when I try to unzip it with any tool, I get the message "The archive you're trying to open is corrupt, some files may be missing or damaged"

Has anyone else experienced this?

[supple arrow]

when i try and open the game i just get a black screen?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @supple arrow! 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.

[worldly fern]

Does this installer also work for Steam Deck? I am trying to install it there.

[blazing python]

As the bot mentions, leave it running. Black screen length depends on your computer

[blazing python]

No use our Steam deck guide instead

?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]

Click blue bubble^^

[worldly fern]

that is the guide I am using, the one from the youtube video. When I download the file and try to unzip it, I get the message I noted

[blazing python]

You sure the file is done downloading?

It is a large file

[worldly fern]

yes, I have downloaded it from both mediafire and google drive on my PC, as well as Mediafire directly on my Deck

same error each time

[blazing python]

Yeah, that doesn’t make sense because we use the same game Files across windows, Mac steam deck everywhere and they work

[worldly fern]

hm, interesting. I guess I can try downloading it again and see what happens

[craggy heron]

Yes actually just search the folder for the word wild and it should be one of the 2 mp3 files

[blazing python]

I just redownloaded to check and it is working. It completed extracting.

[lost jacinth]

So I'm thinking of getting infinite fusion but I'm not sure if I am able to play it on my Chromebook (I use a Lenovo Chromebook s345). Is this able to run it without crashing/not working?

[blazing python]

we do not have a guide for chromebook. it isn't a common machine to play this game with. It is possible, but we don't have much info

[worldly fern]

I was able to finish extracting but only after choosing "extract as read-only" which I'm not sure will affect anything or not

I suppose I'll have to try and see

[lost jacinth]

Thanks

[verbal timber]

from what little I saw when doing a search last year, for Chromebook, you need to effectively find a way to run Linux on it, which can then use that guide to play the game

[blazing python]

Yeah I remember people either using:

1. Linux to play on Chromebook using Wine I think?
2. Installing Steam and downloading the game from our zip repo and launching it that way.

I don't have instructions for either so I didn't want to bring it up since it could also not work 😅

[verbal timber]

lol

yeah

hang on

https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9145439?hl=en

https://robots.net/tech/how-to-install-wine-on-linux-chromebook/

as for the Steam route that is simple

• download Steam
• make a Steam account if one is not yet made
• open Steam
• in the top left, click Games
• then click Add Non-Steam Game to Library
• find the Infinite Fusion application in the list and select it
• click Add Selected Program

@blazing python I'll leave it up to you if you want to include these in the guide section as possibles for Chrome OS or not

with a warning about them possibly not working

"While these methods have been found for Chrome OS, we currently lack the means to test them appropriately. In the event they do not work, there is nothing we can do to remedy that. Your best solution would be to acquire a device that can play the game via one of our known working installation guides."

note for steam on Chrome OS, I think that as well requires Linux

so either way you need to have Linux on a Chromebook

[blazing python]

I added the information you provided and put it in the Android and Linux guide section

[verbal timber]

awesome

[blazing python]

MordridtheBlack found some ways of potentially installing the game on Chromebook if you wanted to give it a shot! They are at the bottom of this guide: GUIDE

[verbal timber]

I make 0 promises they will function

only other thing I can remotely contribute goes outside the bounds of not only this channel, but the discord as a whole [other than #off-topic ]

and that is a custom build list for a "budget" friendly pc

wouldn't be the best thing in the world, but it would be a sight better than older pcs/laptops, or phobile

[blazing python]

Yeah having a minimum system requirements would definitely help when people that have lower end machines are insisting it isn't their computer that is the issue

Idk if we can provide a list of recommended custom builds though, but if we had system requirements they could use that for whatever PC they want to build

[verbal timber]

well the "list" could be a guide point

at the very least

and it is just 1 build, not a full assortment

in essence if they have this or better, then they should have minimal issues with the game outside of their internet

[blazing python]

Yeah, I just don't want to get into a situation where "Hey you said if I bought this, it would work and it didn't. Give us money back for spending on this PC". So the wording needs to be specific if we provide a list

[verbal timber]

hm...

there we go, made a suggestion

#discord-suggestions message

Once a pin is made [if one is made] I will create a build list [using USD as a base] with parts that are either equal or better than that

with the caveat being "This is a suggested build. We can not 100% guarantee this will improve your game performance, please do your own research so you have all the information you need to make the right choice for you."

could even include outside links to 2 subreddits that help with stuff like that

[blazing python]

Thinking about it more, wonder if using the Pokemon Reborn system requirements as a baseline works (I changed the OpenGL and File Size for our game):
64-bit OS or Mac 14 or later
OpenGL 2.0 or later supported
4GB RAM+
2 -4 GB Hard Drive Space

[marble sandal]

when i look at charmander bulbasaur's sprites in the pokedex this happens

[blazing python]

This is a known issue. Don't use the Up/Down arrows to go from pokemon to pokemon on this sprite page: #1197765644872060988 message

[verbal timber]

if that can be used as an equivalent then I have a build list ready that would suite those needs...for $600 USD

not factoring in monitor, keyboard, mouse and the windows os

[blazing python]

would require more testing, but they use the same RPG Maker framework. They are the only fan made game with system requirements that I see so far

[true isle]

I a problem, I try to install the game, everything is normal in the installation but the Game folder does not appear. What do I do?

[blazing python]

Use our new app installer, it is more stable:

***(NEW APP INSTALLER) - *** All-in-one installer and launcher for the game! Stay updated on game and sprite updates -> [Guide](#tech-support message)

[true isle]

Thank you!

[grim condor]

If you are using the Installer, Do you need to install custom sprites when they drop new ones or how does it work?

[blazing python]

No, it is optional. You only need to redownload them if you want to install them all up front. The game will auto download the newest sprites as you encounter the pokemon

I am going to make an update to the installer shortly to improve that sprite notification

[grim condor]

AHH thank you 🙂

[rigid silo]

If we do give min specs, we should for sure change "Hard Drive" to "SSD" given the nr of files the game needs to read/scan

(compared to other RPGxp games)

[blazing python]

Yeah I was thinking the same about the processor also due to the file volume as well

[rigid silo]

Not sure how many actual hard disks are still in use on consumer grade stuff tho

[compact jetty]

someone help my game is broken or something whenever i enter a building or just go to a new place in anyway it takes like 10 seconds to load, ive never had this problem before

same thing if i open pokemon or my bag

or after a battle

(SLOW/Bad Performance?) - Lag or Freezing? Tips here: [More Info](#tech-support message)

[fierce raft]

Hi! So I've been playing for a while now and got about 50 hours in the game and closed out of it for the night

When I opened it back up to play again, my game reverted back to an old save where I only have 5 hours on it

I checked it and the game didn't lie, I was back in Pewter when I had just finished Sabrina's gym

There's no other save files too

What do I do?

[blazing python]

Did you remember to save before you closed the game?

1. If you go to your Game Folder
2. Open the shortcut SaveFile
3. Do you only see 1 save file there? It should give you a timestamp of when it last saved in the Date Modified column.

[fierce raft]

Yeah, I saved, my save file says it'd last modified was just a few hours ago

Which was when I went to bed

[blazing python]

Do you have OneDrive or another cloud sync enabled on your computer?

[oak nimbus]

When I go into caves the graphics are great but anywhere else they are severely glitched to the point of you can see grass or buildings the only thing you can see is water trees to cut and trainers

[blazing python]

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

[oak nimbus]

Discord

[blazing python]

and you are on version 6.0.5?

[oak nimbus]

Yes

[fierce raft]

Yeah

[lost jacinth]

I was able to get it to run on another thing
Thanks for the help though

I'm hyped to start my playthrough

[blazing python]

we recommend to not use Onedrive with this game. It can revert your files/game/sprites to a prior state

[maiden narwhal]

wanst it supposed to auto update?

did i do something wrong=

[blazing python]

The App has a new version. I released a new one just a couple minutes ago

[maiden narwhal]

is there a video?

[blazing python]

All you do is delete your folder and download the new one and extract. Same way you did when you installed it

But it doesn't affect your save, sprites, or game linked. It is just updating the app files

[compact jetty]

how can i get my thing out of onedrive

[maiden narwhal]

witch one

i delete

[fierce raft]

Damn, is there no way to get my save back

[blazing python]

The Installer App folder

The one with the app files in it

not your game folder

[compact jetty]

how i turn onedrive off

[maiden narwhal]

ah nah where did io put that

[blazing python]

In its own folder. Not inside your game folder, they are separate

[maiden narwhal]

ik but where is that folder xD

[blazing python]

Google will help: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/how-to-cancel-or-stop-sync-in-onedrive-4885c27e-3d89-4d69-be75-2646c71367d3

[maiden narwhal]

forgot where i pu tt that im fed

[blazing python]

literally anywhere except inside your game folder. In your downloads folder is fine

[worldly fern]

Steam Deck installation went fine. If I run Game.exe (the one that requires internet connection) do I need to later do the updates to add new sprites shown in the video, or is that only if you're running Game-preloaded.exe?

[blazing python]

Only if you are running preloaded. Game.exe updates the sprites for you as you play

[blazing python]

No, we don't have options to revert save files to prior states

[blazing python]

The only thing I can recommend is:

1. Restarting your computer (this is known to fix issues of loading the game with black screen )
2. Go to Pokemon Center -> Talk to Update Man -> Click Fix Game

[compact jetty]

my IF file now no longer in onedrive right

[maiden narwhal]

need to delete this right its what i installed yesterday=

[blazing python]

That is the zip file. You should have a folder also where you extracted it, but yes you can delete that too

[outer gazelle]

How many steps to open egg?

[blazing python]

If you did it correctly yes. If you see this column in your folder, it means it is still synched

[blazing python]

game questions/mechanics are answered in #gameplay-help

[compact jetty]

tbere is no folder that says anything with status

[blazing python]

then you should be good 👍

[compact jetty]

my problem is still there

im on the new installer

[outer gazelle]

ok

[compact jetty]

and its not synced with onedrive

oh i think my laptop is struggling with the 6.x update

whats that

imma update my laptop and hope it fixes

[nova terrace]

what file is the game? it all confuses me

[blazing python]

the one named Game

[kind hill]

Hello, I just install the game with the .bat file and I get the following when I try to run the preloaded game:

[blazing python]

Preloaded is only used if you have performance issues or want to play offline. This doesn't work out of the box, you need to set it up.

If this isn't the reason you want to play preloaded, then open Game.exe since that one doesn't require any setup to open the game.

[maiden narwhal]

So this is the old thingy i can delete this? to get the new one

[blazing python]

you are supposed to just delete the whole old folder, not items 1 by 1

😅

[maiden narwhal]

huh what am i doing wrong god damn im so dumb

still dont understand the heck i need to do im watching the video again im not good with these stuff

watching these

[blazing python]

You had this previously

Delete that folder

[maiden narwhal]

the prob is idk where that folder is

[blazing python]

Then that is fine, you can find it later. As long as you download and only use the new folder you are good

This is the new one

when you extract you will get this

[maiden narwhal]

this is the right video to watch right?

[blazing python]

yeah that one is the new one

right click it and select Extract All then click Extract

[blazing python]

Yes that looks good!

[maiden narwhal]

dont i need to just open this now and its done?

[blazing python]

correct 🙂

you can right click and add to your taskbar as well to make it easier to find

[compact jetty]

what is the 6.x update

[blazing python]

that is a vague question

just like the update from v5 -> 6

[compact jetty]

when did this happen

[blazing python]

November

[maiden narwhal]

theres nothing to add to task bar

[compact jetty]

huh

[blazing python]

Click Show more options at the bottom

[compact jetty]

why is my thing still taking long to load i did everything

[maiden narwhal]

ok ignore what i said xD im just a idioit xD

[compact jetty]

it randomly started happening ive already played the entire thing without the issue

[maiden narwhal]

works now ty so much megaman and sorry for bothering xD

[blazing python]

No worries! Glad I could help!

[verbal timber]

the only use HDD have now is cheap bulk storage, anything over 2TB since SSD/NVME storage in that range is still stupid expensive

[maiden narwhal]

is it bad that in 10 hours of gameplay my highest is lvl 33 or is that good xD bc i feel like thats pretty bad

but sometimes went afk for some time so prob like 7hours

[blazing python]

you can play at your own pace

[verbal timber]

lol

[blazing python]

You installed the preloaded sprites and open the game preloaded?

and when you said played before? Like on version 6.0.5? or what version?

[compact jetty]

where can i see that=

i played

in january ore something

way after 5v to 6v

[blazing python]

yeah then you were on 6. something

since it came out November

[verbal timber]

probably 6.0.3 or 6.0.4

6.0.5 is late jan early feb

[blazing python]

Not sure why out of the sudden you have performance issues, that would seem more computer/internet related to me

[oak nimbus]

So this is what my game looks like if I am not in a cave

[verbal timber]

read the android guide top to bottom

[turbid terrace]

Hey @verbal timber! 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]

you didnt mention you were mobile -_-

[verbal timber]

the guide goes over this exact issue

[compact jetty]

i think my game has problems with 6.05

[blazing python]

He asked for help earlier and didn't mention he was mobile until now lol you would need to optimize your maps

[verbal timber]

all 6.0.5 brought in was some small bug changes/fixes

[oak nimbus]

@blazing python How do do I go about doing that

[blazing python]

long tap the game in joiplay and select optimize maps

[compact jetty]

then i would have NO idea

on how to fix

[blazing python]

seems internet/computer related

[verbal timber]

assuming you did everything you can listed on the slow/bad performance pinned comment, only other fix is acquire a better toaster

[compact jetty]

other fan games or rom hacks work normally

[blazing python]

our game is very different and handle way more files than those games

[verbal timber]

beyond what is listed in #tech-support message that message bubble, there is quite literally nothing we can do to help make the game perform better on your rig

if steps 1-5 don't help, step 6 is the only other solution

[compact jetty]

ok ty for trying to help me ill just bear through it

[oak nimbus]

@blazing python Thank you that appears to have fixed it

[fathom osprey]

Could anyone tell me if it's a pain in the ass to install mods in this game? I know about some, but I'd like to know if they take too long. The UI/visual ones are the ones I'm thinking about trying. Thanks!

(also, forgive me if this isn't the right channel to ask in lol, mb)

[blazing python]

Changing sprites is easy. If you talking about any mods that change code, we don't help with that and don't troubleshoot issues with modded code

[keen linden]

i have the playtest downloaded but the sprite pack 1-97 (all the packs) i did them in custombattlers but if i play the game i dont have any prites how can i fix this

[blazing python]

that means you put it in the wrong folder

[keen linden]

in what folder do i need to put it then

[blazing python]

from the sprite pack, you should see a CustomBattlers folder. You should have dragged that ontop of the Graphics folder

[keen linden]

oh

[blazing python]

If you use our new app installer, it does all of this for you

[keen linden]

so custombattlers on top the chraphics folder

[blazing python]

yup

[keen linden]

i'll try

it was already in the chraphics folder

[blazing python]

yeah it is there by default but this will merge the two together

[keen linden]

and i did the sprite folder into the custombattlers

[blazing python]

you don't move anything else. Anything else you did you should revert

[keen linden]

so i did everything right?

or what do i need to do

[blazing python]

all you had to do was move CustomBattlers ontop of Graphics.

If you moved files anywhere else, or additional folders anywhere else, that would cause an issue

I can't see your game files, but if you did it correctly, opening the game will take longer to open because it is processing all of the sprites

it will then say it found like 121k sprites it imported and you should be good

[blazing python]

If you get the app installer, it does all of this with 1 button

[keen linden]

this is what i have rn

[blazing python]

nope not correct

delete that that zip file

no zip files belong in here

[keen linden]

it was like this when i downloaded the sprites

[blazing python]

not true. That means you downloaded the zip into this directory which isn't correct

[keen linden]

i'll redownload the sprites

[main stream]

the game lags when ever i try to open menus or enter a door

[blazing python]

what for you have them there?

as I mentioned you should just use the tool to do it for you

[keen linden]

??

alright

and where can i download that

[blazing python]

***(NEW APP INSTALLER) - *** All-in-one installer and launcher for the game! Stay updated on game and sprite updates -> [Guide](#tech-support message)

When you open it, it will ask if you want to Link your game folder. Click Yes because you have the game downloaded and link your game

Then there is a sprite menu, click Install Custom Sprites

[keen linden]

it says zip when i clicked the drive link

[blazing python]

yup

[keen linden]

i downloaded it and now

[blazing python]

if you click the written guide link, it shows you step by step how to unzip it

[keen linden]

you can click More Info and then the button will say Run anyway

[keen linden]

alright

[main stream]

the rgss system keeps getting stuck

[turbid terrace]

Hey @main stream! 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.

Don't click on the game as it is loading. Be patient. The black screen duration depends on your computer

[keen linden]

@blazing python thanks for all the help it works now

[keen linden]

@mint marsh

[terse plaza]

Hello, I have a little problem. Between screens, my game lasts a lot loading, like entering a building and exiting. The screen gets black for around a few seconds until the same continues normally. Is it because I didn't preload the sprites?

I already beat the nugget bridge

I just beat lt surge

[blazing python]

Yeah it is an issue just with that pokemon center. I had to manually fix it for someone else. I can do it for you as well if you share your SaveFile

[grave forge]

Understood

Any idea what causes this?

[blazing python]

No idea yet. I spent a couple hours trying to reproduce the issue, but I am not able to on my own

[grave forge]

Not sure if it’d cause it, but I did use debug to give myself money to test some stuff

[blazing python]

Last couple instances, they didnt have debug on so I don't think that is it

[grave forge]

got it

[blazing python]

Got it

I deleted it on purpose sorry didnt mention i did that

[blazing python]

so I loaded your save and it let me into the pokemon center just fine without doing anything

I resaved the game inside the pokemon center if you want to use this one. Just make sure to remove the "_" between File and A

[blazing python]

let me know when you downloaded so I can delete from here

[grave forge]

I did some fusions in the pc after that save, so maybe it caused it

thanks

[dreamy socket]

The installer is trying to make my download new custom sprite but I don’t really want to

[blazing python]

The app installer?

[dreamy socket]

I’m pretty sure

The one that looks like a little mega man

[blazing python]

Yes. That is the one.

With today's update to 2.4 I made the message go away after it alerts you that new sprites are available. The sprites are completely optional

[dreamy socket]

Do I need the new installer?

I’m assuming so

[blazing python]

Does it open for you? The installer is supposed to not let you use it unless you are on the latest version

[dreamy socket]

Yeah that’s what’s happening

Alright I’ll just get the newest version

[blazing python]

Ah so that is an App Update, not a sprite update

[dreamy socket]

It was saying both

I’ll get the app update and maybe the sprite update

[blazing python]

Yeah new sprites came out also, but with the new version it will fix that sprite one constantly coming up

[dreamy socket]

Cool thanks

[blazing python]

Please read the top of the channel. Guides, fixes, etc are pinned to the top.

But this is purely a network issue. You can use the New App Installer instead that handles network issues a little better. [MORE INFO HERE](#tech-support message)

[distant mirage]

ok, thank you

[thorn trellis]

having screen tearing issues. any fixes?

[blazing python]

In NVIDIA GeForce enable Vsync

[thorn trellis]

ok

still there

[blazing python]

that is the only recommendation we can make. This is purely on your graphics driver/computer

[thorn trellis]

ok

[fathom osprey]

I see, then there isn't any guides about the procedure to install mods like Kuray's shiny one into the game around here? Should I just look it up about each mod?

[hushed horizon]

is there a tutorial for downloading all the sprites?

[chilly cedar]

We have an installer that does all of it for you 🙂 check pins

[rigid silo]

Kuray has their own discord. We dont actively help with that anymore.

they also pretty much have their own version of the game by now, so we wont be able to do any tech support for those files. you'd also have to rely on their discord for that

[hushed horizon]

thanks but im confused on which link is the preloaded sprites link?

[blazing python]

didn't I help you install the App Installer yesterday?

[hushed horizon]

you did but everytime i encounter a new pokemon it takes like 5 mins to download the sprites

so i wanna try the preloaded version

[blazing python]

Open the Install and click the Sprite menu

all the options to install sprites are there

[hushed horizon]

alright thanks

[blazing python]

if you go to settings in the installer and click the checkbox for preloaded, it will tell you what you are missing

[hushed horizon]

did the installer update?

[blazing python]

Yes there is a new update this morning

[hushed horizon]

oh alright

where the new link at?

[blazing python]

Click ok that popup and it will open it for you

[hushed horizon]

do i need to delete my old folder?

or can i just download this new one

[blazing python]

either is fine. You won't need the existing one you have anymore and just use the new download

[hushed horizon]

so do i just need to click this?

[blazing python]

did you check settings first for it to tell you what you are missing?

[hushed horizon]

nothin else?

[hushed horizon]

wait where is that

[blazing python]

There is a known bug right now that even if you complete it, that quest doesn't get completed: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1207200891959123998

[hexed slate]

good to know! just wondering

wait where do I get part 6 then? (nvm, just checked my completed quests)

[blazing python]

Just asking you to do that because if you have some sprites, but not all, it is better to install just the ones you missing instead of redoing ALL of the sprites

[hushed horizon]

i only got like 4 of the sprites

it doesnt matter how long it takes

[blazing python]

ah ok, then yeah click on Install Preloaded Sprites and click Install sprites and it will do it for you

[hushed horizon]

big thanks man

@blazing python so after the black screen goes away i restart the game and check box the preloaded version?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @hushed horizon! Are you having trouble starting the game? If you are launching v5, and your screen is stuck on black at startup, don't worry, it's normal. Leave the game running for a few minutes and it will work eventually.

Do not click on the window during this, otherwise you'll get the error below and the game will close.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/308392115338084360/994274889055875142/Capture.PNG

[blazing python]

yes, if you go to the GitHub Guide, you are on Part 3 if you scroll to the bottom. Link

keep following the instructions for setting up preloaded there if you keep scrolling down

[hushed horizon]

the github doesnt say to restart the game but the pop up box did? so do i restart it?

[hushed horizon]

oh i see it

yea i was reading the github as i went on

mb

thanks man hopefully the game is better now

[keen rune]

hello, I belive that i installed everything i need, but I don't know how to actually start the game

i am using a macbook

[blazing python]

did you use our Mac guide?

[blazing halo]

i accidentally deleted the folder with infinite fusion when trying to turn off onedrive for the game...now the game doesn't work anymore....what can I do?

[keen rune]

idk where to find the guide

[blazing python]

?tag install

[pearl magnet]

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

[blazing python]

Click the blue bubble above^^

[blazing python]

are you getting an error? we need more info to help

[keen rune]

ooohhhh thank you

[blazing halo]

i did but I clicked it away and now its not appearing again.
was something with name error or something like that

[hushed horizon]

what do i do for this (im on preloaded)

[blazing python]

you probably tried opening the preloaded game instead of regular and got an error.

but we can't help much without an error. but if it is working for you now nice

[blazing python]

select No

[blazing halo]

no I tried opening the normal game.
if I reinstall the game completely...will my savefile be gone?

[blazing python]

your save file is stored somewhere else on your computer so it will not. You can also reinstall using our new app installer which is easier to use

***(NEW APP INSTALLER) - *** All-in-one installer and launcher for the game! Stay updated on game and sprite updates -> [Guide](#tech-support message)

[blazing halo]

the guide doesn't help me much....what do I have to take out of the drive?

[blazing python]

you want to reinstall. This guide shows you how to install the game. It is what you were asking for lol

also I can't help you with your drive because idk what is on it

[blazing halo]

i mean the google drive that is linked to the guide, lol

gosh I feel so stupid now ._.

should just have lived with the game loading so slow <.<

[blazing python]

yeah the written guide in that post will show you how to use or the video guide as well

[slate terrace]

Hi, do you have any idea for the design of the future launcher ?

[bright isle]

I followed your guide but when I opened it up I got this message

[blazing python]

I released an update this morning

[bright isle]

How do I get the new update?

[blazing python]

when you click OK, it will open the page to download it from

[bright isle]

Will the old folder be automatically deleted?

[blazing python]

No

[keen rune]

welp, i couldn't install it because since the game apparently needs a couple of things installed and one of them need a macbook version i dont have and i dont have enough room, so i have one question before i leave this discord until I get a better computer

[west salmon]

Hi I'm new, I'm launching the game and I'm getting this error. What should I do?

[keen rune]

why couldn't you guys do the pokemon gba system like other fanmade pokemon games do

[blazing python]

this means you didn't install the game using our android guide. so you are using the wrong plugins and probably wrong version of the game 🙂

[west salmon]

Thanks, I shall look it all again

[blazing python]

In case you need GUIDE

[blazing python]

Not all fan made games are rom hacks. Haven't you heard of Pokemon Insurgence? Reborn? Xenoverse? Developers are more than welcome to develop games how they want

[keen rune]

i dont do much pokemon fanmade games, the one i have on my macbook is too many types

[blazing python]

Yeah a lot of games use RPG Maker Engine now to create fan made games especially because it is open source and has libaries like pokemon essentials that makes it easier to develop with

[keen rune]

inorder for me to install this game i have to somehow make alot of room on my macbook just to update the software and then install multiple software, anyhow goodbye

[blazing python]

this game is only developed for Windows

So that is just what you have to do to get it to work on other platforms like Mac

[bright isle]

So I deleted the folder for the original launcher, do I need to reinstall the game or will it work with the original game folder intact?

[blazing python]

Nope, it will work with everything you already setup

[next tendon]

hey, so i tried to downlaod the game and i was told that Drapnard is dead. I went into the download tab and clicked on the download link. I went to the file and clicked on install or update and then a black box pops up telling me that the system can't find the path specified and then says Installer/Updated made by Hungry Pickle. What can i do about this?

[fading igloo]

you didnt extract the files

[next tendon]

how do i do that?

[fading igloo]

drag the zip folder to your deskrop, right mouse button, extract here

the run the installer again

[next tendon]

is the folder called REquired by Installer Updated?

I don't fully know all this stuff, sorry for all the questions

[fading igloo]

no, the entire infinitefusion folder

[next tendon]

so i got the installer from Drapnerd. Do i need to get rid of it first?

[fading igloo]

yes

as you stated above, the drapnerd launcher is broken and doesnt work

[slate terrace]

I’m nerd 🤓
Seriously don’t use my launcher is very broken

[next tendon]

okay, so i right clicked and clicked right click. Do i know click on Infinite Fusion folder on my desktop now?

im so sorry, i didn't have it pulled up and thought it was Nerd, i didn't mean anything bad by it

[fading igloo]

yeah, drag the entire folder to the desktop, open it, then run the installer

[slate terrace]

Dont be sorry, it’s just make me laugh

[blazing python]

Or just use the new installer that is easier to setup

***(NEW APP INSTALLER) - *** All-in-one installer and launcher for the game! Stay updated on game and sprite updates -> [Guide](#tech-support message)

[next tendon]

okay, now its receiving objects. So i just wait and then will an installer be placed somewhere?

[fading igloo]

just let it do its thing, when its done, make a screenshot of it in case somewhere was an error

[blazing python]

Yeah it will be in that same folder

[next tendon]

okay, i will let you know when its done

even though im below 30 i have a lot of technology problems LOL

[fading igloo]

no one expect from anyone to be a super nerd when it comes to technology

[blazing halo]

thanks for the help. game is reinstalled, savefile is fine. still a tad slow loading but it seems better than it was before. onedrive is off now so this won't happen again I hope.

[slate terrace]

@blazing python You made the new installer in what Frameworks ?

[next tendon]

so this is now what is shown. What do i do from here?

[fading igloo]

start "game"

that launches the game and you can start your adventure

[next tendon]

oh wow its that simple. Thank you so much! is there are place where i can see what the original controls are?

[fading igloo]

press F1 in the game window

[next tendon]

thank you so much! i've been dying to play this game!!

[blazing python]

The same one I used my sprite installer. Just .net

[slate terrace]

The whole Ui you use C# ?

[blazing python]

Yes

[slate terrace]

Oh but you can only build on Windows ?

[blazing python]

Yeah the game is developed for windows so I did a windows installer

I can make it compatible with Mac pretty easy though, but maybe next phase. Not a priority

[slate terrace]

But the game have certain things to do after

[earnest raft]

What do I do when JoiPlay won't recognize the RPG Maker plugin being installed on my phone.
I used the one from the android FAQ to install.

[turbid terrace]

Hey @earnest raft! 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]

Like what?

[slate terrace]

Wine

[blazing python]

Yeah you would still have prerequisites since you need wine to open the game still

[blazing python]

Do you have a screenshot?

[earnest raft]

Installed JoiPlay first, then the Plugin, unpacked the game, added it to JoiPlay. Not sure what I did wrong.

[slate terrace]

One of the new features of my new launcher is auto install for Mac and Linux ( and Windows )

[earnest raft]

When I try to choose the apk through the selector from JoiPlay it's not showing up tho

[blazing python]

Click download, then Download rpg maker xp. Don’t extract

Then open the game again and click choose and select it

[earnest raft]

Did just that and now I'm on this error

I mean I can go through the guide again and reinstall joiplay and the plugin since I have the game fully unpacked already

[verbal timber]

make sure to delete other instances of both joiplay and rpgmaker you have

you need the ones in the guide

period

[earnest raft]

Used those

[verbal timber]

no ifs, ands or butts

[earnest raft]

Followed the guide step by step

[blazing python]

That is the incompatible device error

[earnest raft]

Oof

[blazing python]

The guide has a section for this error as well

[earnest raft]

The im doomed xD

Alrighty

Imma read through it

Alright, guess I just got unlucky.
Changed the engine to mkxp-z

Got a blackscreen but can hear the music.

[blazing python]

Yup exactly what the guide says that this means it is not compatible

[earnest raft]

Ah well guess I'll settle for NDS roms on my phone then and keep playing fusion on pc, thanks for the help tho

Idk if support for phones models can be easily added. It's a Xiaomi Poco P3
Running Andeoid 12
Not sure if the info is relevant in any way

[blazing python]

Not for us. This is purely a JoiPlay compatibility issue.

[blazing python]

Oh nice! If it works that would be a really nice feature

[earnest raft]

Ah well might write a request to them since I won't be changing phones anytime soon

[latent stag]

I've been having trouble today

[blazing python]

New update released today. Redownload it

[latent stag]

oh okay, can't i just go into files?

[blazing python]

This is an update to the installer not the game

[latent stag]

oh okay, I'll go relocate the video

because same deal right?

[blazing python]

***(NEW APP INSTALLER) - *** All-in-one installer and launcher for the game! Stay updated on game and sprite updates -> [Guide](#tech-support message)

But yes just redownload the files and extract and you are good. It keeps your save, game files the same without redoing the work

[tranquil cipher]

I have a lot of invisible sprites, despite using the installer (freshly installed today) to download sprites for preloaded. I also manually downloaded the December Sprite Pack and added them to the graphics folder, no luck

[blazing python]

did you use the up and down arrows to get to this page?

[tranquil cipher]

No, just caught Paras. But many sprites for encounters are just invisible

[blazing python]

Are you using preloaded?

[tranquil cipher]

Yes

[blazing python]

did you turn off download sprites from in game options?

[tranquil cipher]

Yes

[blazing python]

can you check again? if you clicked Yes when starting a new game it will turn it on

[blazing python]

something on your end somewhere

it loads for me

[feral ledge]

Hello, the launcher already works? If so, what is the link?

[blazing python]

***(NEW APP INSTALLER) - *** All-in-one installer and launcher for the game! Stay updated on game and sprite updates -> [Guide](#tech-support message)

[tranquil cipher]

I dont understand what ;-; I followed the video tutorial, and used the Installer to add preloaded sprites, then launch the game in preloaded; while letting it update the sprites in game before going to preloaded

then manually did the sprite pack when i still had some invis encounters (just a shadow where the mon was)

[blazing python]

why did you manually add sprites after?

that overrides what the installer did

[tranquil cipher]

because sprites still seemed to be missing, as they were invisible

[blazing python]

in your party?

[tranquil cipher]

Wild encounters, and sometimes party, yes

[blazing python]

party is a known issue/bug

[tranquil cipher]

That wasnt the main thing tho

it was the wild encounters, for Paras, Zubat, Oricorio (modern playtest), etc

Fusions would show up just fine, but if it was a sole pokemon, sometimes they just didnt have a sprite

[blazing python]

well hard to troubleshoot since you merged 2 things together

[tranquil cipher]

This was happening before i merged

Which is why i attempted the manual download

[blazing python]

yeah I understand but I am saying it is easier to troubleshoot 1 thing at a time

If you go to Graphics/CustomBattlers/customBaseSprites, how many items do you have in there

it will say on the bottom left of the folder

[tranquil cipher]

lemme see

One sec, irl thing popped up

[tranquil cipher]

3978

[blazing python]

that is the correct amount and does 46g.png load for you?

that is the one that isn't loading for you in game

[tranquil cipher]

Yeah via that file, it does

[blazing python]

wait, how did you download the game?

[tranquil cipher]

Through KIF server

[blazing python]

that is why

[tranquil cipher]

Is it?

[blazing python]

you don't mix the 2 folders/projects together

they are completely separate

[tranquil cipher]

o, I thought they used the same sprites

[blazing python]

sprites yes, but they look for sprites in different folders

[tranquil cipher]

Welp thats good to know, thank you~

[blazing python]

i normally don't help with their mod

but I believe you should move those sprites to a folder named BaseSprites

whereever that is in their folders

[fading igloo]

ask in thir discord if you have bugs

[tranquil cipher]

will do

[blazing python]

since we use customBaseSprites, they use BaseSprites

[tranquil cipher]

I did, but no one got back to me lol, very inactive server ngl

[fading igloo]

yeah, but this is PIF, KIF is on its own game, even if they use PIF as base game

so we might not be able to help if you encounter bugs

[tranquil cipher]

I figured they used the same basis for sprites, that was mb. I will keep that in mind for the future now that i was made aware

[tranquil cipher]

That seemed to the do the trick, thank you very kindly! Apologies for my misunderstanding~

[blazing python]

Glad it works now!

Glad I caught that too. Your setting menu has different options than we do, so that is how I figured out you weren't using our game version

[tranquil cipher]

Oh does it? Interesting, thought those settings were the same

But good catch regardless!

[dim lava]

Hi, I just allegedly installed the game from this discord in the downloads tab, I went through the instalation process on the black window but I don't see a game file in the InfiniteFusion folder

[turbid terrace]

Hey @dim lava! Are you having trouble starting the game? If you are launching v5, and your screen is stuck on black at startup, don't worry, it's normal. Leave the game running for a few minutes and it will work eventually.

Do not click on the window during this, otherwise you'll get the error below and the game will close.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/308392115338084360/994274889055875142/Capture.PNG

[blazing python]

This usually means you got a network issue on the black prompt

You can read more info/tips for this error, but the new app installer works with it better: [MORE INFO](#tech-support message)

[dim lava]

Ah thank you I will try the new installer

It worked, thanks!

[small talon]

so

[compact current]

What website do I go to, to download the latest update if Infinite fusion?

[small talon]

i just confirmed

the mega sprite pack

that says it contains all sprites

doesn't

because i used the mega sprite pack

both the one here and the one in downloads

[blazing python]

***(NEW APP INSTALLER) - *** All-in-one installer and launcher for the game! Stay updated on game and sprite updates -> [Guide](#tech-support message)

[compact current]

Thank you

[small talon]

and it only contains a few of the sprites from the recent one

can someone assist?

[blazing python]

Use the New App Installer I linked above. I am not updating that zip file anymore because:

1. The app installer installs them all quicker and in 1 button
2. The fake website is stealing the zip file, so this is to combat them
3. Ppl don't know how to unzip and move files

[small talon]

ah

lol

also good thing to note

im using kuray

would it still work?

at least for the sake of the sprites

[blazing python]

It will work except for the customBaseSprites we install because Kuray uses a different folder for them

It is a small subset of sprites though

[small talon]

ahh that explains why that bugs out so much

ive seen at least 3 different error messages from the custom base sprites

so what should i do? install it regularly then move it all to the correct folders?

[sour kite]

Which is the easiest to install I wanna do it after work and just got the pc like last week so still learning how it works

[blazing python]

We don't troubleshoot Kuray modded game files unfortunately. But I did help someone up above. Basically use my App Installer normally.

Then move the sprites in Graphics/CustomBattlers/customBaseSprites to wherever Kuray has the BaseSprites folder

[small talon]

alright--

thank

[blazing python]

***(NEW APP INSTALLER) - *** All-in-one installer and launcher for the game! Stay updated on game and sprite updates -> [Guide](#tech-support message)

[sour kite]

Bro is really coming in clutch

[small talon]

so what is said one button

[blazing python]

https://tenor.com/view/thank-you-funny-gif-23790195

[small talon]

tryna figure out what im looking at on this google drive

[blazing python]

I documented the whole process and even made a video. Please read/watch it if you don't understand 🙂

[small talon]

lmao fair

[worthy kernel]

sorr if this has been answered before but im playing infinte fusion on a laptop, i got the installer and everything and it takes like 15 seconds to load anytime i enter or exit a building or exit a pokemon battle

[blazing python]

If your computer can't handle the normal version of the game, then you need to setup Preloaded to play the optimized version of the game

[worthy kernel]

the preloaded version isnt on the installer tho

[blazing python]

Are you referring to this installer?

[worthy kernel]

yes

[blazing python]

click settings on the left

there is a checkbox to enable preloaded

if you are missing sprites, it will let you know what to install to make it work since Preloaded needs sprites to work

[worthy kernel]

alright tysm

[small talon]

uhhhhh--

its giving me tons of error messages

i tried all five

install, update, install or update, custom, custom only

all of them except install or update ran and immediately crashed before i could read it and install or update just said "cannot find path" 5 times or something like that and then said you can now close this window

oh i guess theres two more

hmn

[blazing python]

that error usually means you did not extract the zip

can you screenshot a picture of the folder you have the installer in that you tried opening and using?

[small talon]

yeh

OH theres a .exe

i was clicking the wrong thing i think

[blazing python]

[small talon]

I DIDNT SEE IT BEFORE

i just saw the install or update like with the old files

and was like "that must be the thing"

[blazing python]

the instructions...

idk why I write this stuff sometimes lol

[small talon]

this is why i am

stoopid

also

which folder should i link it to with kuray

since it said it can link the installer to the file directly

[blazing python]

your main folder

the one that has Game.exe inside

[small talon]

mkay

bottom main file gotcha lol, theres like 3 main files for me for some reason

[compact current]

what does the written guide mean by graphics folder?

[blazing python]

when you install the game, inside your game folder, there is a graphics folder

[compact current]

thank you

[small talon]

i was missing 121,000 sprites

[compact current]

i have misc and required by installer folder, but not the others. i messed i think

[blazing python]

You are reading what is inside your installer folder

Graphics folder is where you installed the GAME, not the installer

[blazing python]

are you looking for the graphics folder because you clicked Yes on the prompt in the beginning?

[small talon]

at least, assuming resetting custombattlers folder doesn't mean it deleted all the sprites and redownloaded them

i assume it didnt

[blazing python]

it did

[small talon]

Oh the game just probably doesnt see them as deleted did it

[compact current]

when it asked to do something with the older version of PIF? yeah

[blazing python]

yeah so that is asking you to find the copy of the game you have installed on your computer because you selected Yes

If you don't remember or want to reinstall, you can close that folder prompt

[latent stag]

I got really buzzy earlier, but it worked, but thanks!
