[muted zealot]

I can't get to moltress

because of the reef of corsela

[fading igloo]

you dont need dive to get moltres

if you were at mt ember already, just fly therew

[muted zealot]

I can get to the left side of mt ember

but Moltress is not there

and I can't teleport there

[fading igloo]

you were on knot island
teleport there, then follow the road to the north, there you can go to mt ember

[muted zealot]

I know that

and I can get there

but only of left

and moltress isnt there

[fading igloo]

the left side is where youre supposed to go, in the cave .. moltress is in that cave together with team rocket if you havend defeated them yet

[fading igloo]

what version are you running? :/

this is what ember should look like ...

beside that, what i see, you need to use strength t push the boulders around ... and youre version is outdated

[muted zealot]

5.0.36.4

[fading igloo]

yeah .. were on 6.0.5 meanwhile ...

[muted zealot]

oooh that makes so much sense!

thank you, how do I update it?

[fading igloo]

you will most likely lose that save file if you update to the latest version

[muted zealot]

:(

[muted zealot]

I was able to update it without losing my save! :D

thank you so much for the help <3

[fading igloo]

fr? lucky ...

wait, where did you get the update?

just making sure you didnt download malware ..

[humble quiver]

How do i import custom sprites into game in a phone?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @humble quiver! 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!

Hey @humble quiver! 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.

[slate bough]

Hey! Im experisncing quite a big of slowdown when entering battles, changing between sprites when a new pokemon in caught and such. Im sitting in quite a strong cpu so i dont see why this is happening. Any tips or tricks around this?

[fading igloo]

Performance issues? follow [this](#tech-support message)

[bleak hedge]

It sounds like the game's waiting to download new sprites and that's causing the slow down, so I'd recommend following tip 4 in the link above

[slate bough]

i will look into it, thanks!

Hey again! Worked like a charm! Big thanks and have a great day!

[muted zealot]

This discord, don't worry I was safe :)

No problem! :D

I hope it works out for you :>

[fading igloo]

yep, as long as you have the game from our discord, its all good 🙂

[somber edge]

Yep I made it! Got back my shiny Kangaskhan

[fading igloo]

okay, now i know why people try to avoid downloading the preloaded sprites ... took me about 1 hour from starting the installer until the point where the game starts ,,,

[red jungle]

I tried to download the game waited until installer ends but nothing happens other then a new folder that has no launcher or anything guys I am new to this so if there is a guide for this I dont know I am sorry

[fading igloo]

[blazing python]

On Android only

[fading igloo]

no, ios wont run that

[trim raptor]

Okay thanks for letting me know

[fading igloo]

@blazing python
i have to show this to you, people really appreciate the tech support 🙂

[trim raptor]

There are so many videos but none of them were consistent so I’d thought I’d ask

[blazing python]

Any video saying it is, is using unauthentic versions of the game. Those versions tend to have viruses and bugs that don’t exist in the authentic game.

[blazing python]

Gonna frame it on my wall 😀

But I appreciate you helping as well. You’ve been doing a great job

[trim raptor]

Yeah that’s what I was thinking

[fading igloo]

my "helping" is just experience .. i see the same things every day, so i adapt it and listen to you (or others) on the solution 🙂

btw, ive installed the game today with your launcher, its really easy (okay, im not a complete noob when it comes to that) ... just had some worries when i installed the preloaded sprites, took me an entire hour xD

[blazing python]

Yeah that is why I recommend people install custom sprites 1st if they do decide to install anything.

And if they want to switch to preloaded, just install the missing auto gens and you good. Basically do half now and half later lol but yeah depending where you are, Git download might be slow. I do preloaded in like 5-10 minutes

[fading igloo]

yeah, thats just an issue on my end ... after the game started in dynamic and let the game organize the sprites (that reminds me i still have to look that theyre not in the graphics folder, but in its sub folders) i started the preloaded launcher ... damn that was so slow for me .. so i'd rather stick with dynamic launcher, thats much faster 😄

[blazing python]

Yeah I personally download preloaded but play dynamic just so I can get all the perf improvements from having sprites downloaded and without the preloaded bugs

Also I don’t like waiting for the longer start up lol

[fading igloo]

im just not used to it ... im used to instant start the game with dynamic 😄 so i was like ... damn, why is that thing so slow ... i knew the preloaded takes longer, but not like 5 minutes while dynamic loads 5 seconds 😄

[blazing python]

Ooof yeah 5 min is long 😅

But gives you time to get a snack before you play haha

[fading igloo]

lol 😄 true

[fading igloo]

btw, i have an additional hint for performance issues
turn the fusion sprites to DNA sprites, that improves the performance a bit .. also turn download missing sprites off in preloaded

[kindred comet]

Is this where I can ask why I lost ten levels out of nowhere?

[blazing python]

Did you recently update to the 6.x versions of the game?

[kindred comet]

6.0.5

[blazing python]

Im asking if you recently updated to that version

[kindred comet]

Yesterday, but the level loss was within the past hour

[blazing python]

Was it after unfusing?

[kindred comet]

No

[blazing python]

Then describe your issue further. What lvls? A certain mon? After battling? Need more descriptions

[blazing python]

Turning off download sprites is actually required. It is in all my guides and instructions

Also nice. I knew about the DNA symbol but ppl always tell me no when I tell them to do that 😂 they say they rather be slow than to not see the sprites

[kindred comet]

Two of my mons, a nidoking/torterra infusion and a umbereon/aegislash fusion. Assuming after a battle, they were both 60/61, now both were at 50

Didn’t notice until a new battle

[blazing python]

Well from version 5s to 6s, there were experience level changes and it retroactively applied after the update. So a lot of ppls mons went down

[kindred comet]

Last time I used them was in a level 50 battle tower

[fading igloo]

i saw this issue before on another user, he also didnt update but randomly lost a few levels ... cant remember the fusion, but he didnt unfuse and leveld up in battle, i think it was from lvl 32 leveled up to 28 or something

[blazing python]

Yeah each Pokemon has different level growth so fusing/unfusing them together has affects to it

I forget the exact term

[fading igloo]

nah, the fusion already was on lvl 32, it was his starter and just randomly leveld down

[blazing python]

Ah, not sure then. I haven’t heard of this issue before other than old playthroughs updating to 6.x recently because of the experience growth changes. I wouldn’t know how to fix it

[blazing python]

You can create a #1142871804269052004 for this if you’d like, but it would need as much details as possible to see if there is an issue in the code somewhere

I imagine it is going to be hard to reproduce unless the battle tower had something specific to do with it

[patent crow]

Hey I got the installer and it’s not working

Like the steam deck one

[compact ice]

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask but I downloaded the game off of pokmoninfinitefusion . net and only realised after getting 4 hours in that the discord is where the official download is, I haven't run into any problems with the game so far but does that mean I'm playing on an outdated / broken version?

[turbid terrace]

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

[patent crow]

And it won’t let me update

[blazing python]

Did you use our steam deck official guide?

[patent crow]

Yes

[blazing python]

Can you send a screenshot of what you are trying?

[patent crow]

When I use q4wine with the update or install bar

Sure

[fading igloo]

most likely a broken version, we have several reports of that game being broken, like all eggs are pikachu, all fossils are pikachu and so on

[blazing python]

Well the biggest thing is the files have malware. Delete them asap

They have a lot of bugs in the game as well, but better to protect yourself than worry about in game bugs lol

[compact ice]

If I already ran the .bat will deleting the files actually remove the malware?

[fading igloo]

just delete the entire game folder and run your antivirus to be save, after that you can download the official launcher -> [Guide](#tech-support message)

[blazing python]

Virus scan would tell you. We don’t keep up with the viruses they put on them if they change over time

[patent crow]

How do you screen record on steam deck?

[blazing python]

Before you do, can you describe your issue further? You kinda just gave me one liners. How exactly is it not working for you? Is the game not opening?

Also there is no update for the game, so the files I provide are already up to date

[patent crow]

When i open the install or update bat with q4wine it doesn’t work

I followed the directions in the video to do it

[blazing python]

But the game opens fine ?

[patent crow]

Idk yet

I wanted to update first

Is that bad?

[blazing python]

There is no update

[patent crow]

I’m sorry if it is

[blazing python]

In my video I say IF an update is released, this is how you would update. But the files I gave you are already up to date

[patent crow]

Oh

Well q4wine still isn’t recognizing the file

So if an update released it wouldn’t update

[blazing python]

Yeah so you right click the file and select q4wine

[patent crow]

Yes

[blazing python]

And does the window pop up saying Run program?

[patent crow]

No

[blazing python]

Did you put the game folder on your desktop?

[patent crow]

no

I put it in my sd card

Ohhhh

Is that the problem

[blazing python]

Yeah same thing happened to someone yday. Did you format your SD card with your steam deck before you used it?

[patent crow]

Yes

But that was a while ago

[blazing python]

So the path is like run/media/deck/<sd card number>

[patent crow]

Yes

Run/media/deck/numbers and stuff

[blazing python]

Kk so then the updater might not work on SD cards

[patent crow]

Ok

[blazing python]

I’ve only tried it on the main drive

[patent crow]

I’ll put it in my document folder then

[blazing python]

I’d have to test myself with SD card but this game would probably run horrible on Microsd anyways

Too many files to process to be on an SD card. Similar to those playing this game off a USB. The game doesn’t work well on it

[patent crow]

It worked!!!!

I love the trash can

I had to unzip it in my document folder

But I deleted the .rar

But it was in the trash so I just had to take it out

Btw tysm for all the work you put into this stuff man like for the support, the guides everything

I really appreciate the work you and all the other people do to make this game possible

[blazing python]

I appreciate it! i will make sure when I re-record my video to note that this doesn't work on micro-sd. This was helpful thank you!

[patent crow]

Thank you! My good sir

Have a nice day

[solemn cape]

how do you download infinite fusion on chromebook

[fading igloo]

i doubt it runs on a chromebook

?tag install
there are our installation guides ... maybe one of them works

[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]

I gave them that link yday, not sure if they tried it

[solemn cape]

yea I kinda fell asleep

[quaint forge]

I keep trying to update the launcher, but everytime I click install it justs installs, closes the launcher and re-open the launcher where I can only click install

[blazing python]

Chromebook is in the Linux guide

[blazing python]

the launcher has been discontinued. It is not longer part of our download list

[quaint forge]

ok

[blazing python]

New App Installer:

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

we have a new installer though that can launch the game as well though

[quaint forge]

thanks for the help, I'm just returning after not playing for a while

[blazing python]

ah then yeah you should use this new one! I developed it myself so it gets a lot of support and improvements over time

[cyan nova]

Why does it tell me this when an egg hatches and turn off the game?

[blazing python]

because your installation didn't install correctly. Where did you get the game files from?

[cyan nova]

from discord

[blazing python]

with which installation method? we have different ones, I need more information from you to better help

[cyan nova]

from drive installation

[blazing python]

I don't know what that is? do you have a link?

but regardless to fix the error, you need to reinstall the game because you are missing the sprites for the egg animations

[keen linden]

@blazing python what do i do now because i cant fight the bird fusion

[blazing python]

you need to Update to 6.0.5 and go to the pokemon center. Talk to update man and select fix game

This issue was fixed a while ago

[keen linden]

alright thanks

[patent crow]

Is Pokemon infinite fusion supposed to say 1 of January 2000

[blazing python]

yes

[patent crow]

Ok

That’s cool

[blazing python]

yeha no calendar in game to change it 😆

[keen linden]

@blazing python it didnt help

what now

[blazing python]

1: You are not on the latest version
2: You didn't talk to update man and select fix game
3: you have the fake version of the game

Those are the only 3 options

[keen linden]

i think its the 1st one

[blazing python]

when you open the game, it should tell you what version you are on

[keen linden]

it says that i can download version 6

[blazing python]

that was the first step I gave you, update your game 😅

[keen linden]

i have an older version of the playtest

i didnt read that and i have dyslexia

so the game with the 3 starters is the better option

[patent crow]

I found a fused Pokemon in the wild and unfused it and the resulting Pokemon doesn’t have a gender is this supposed to happen?

[blazing python]

I don't know what you mean, but you should have a file named INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat in your game folder.

Rerun that to update to the latest version

if you dont have that file, it means you need to install new

[keen linden]

alright i'll check

[blazing python]

Yeah this is a known issue:

[patent crow]

[trim raptor]

Hey can I install this on my galaxy s20?

[blazing python]

this game isn't developed for Android so we don't keep track what phones can run the game, but you can try

?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

[keen linden]

i have an INSTALL_OR_UPDATE in my file but not with .bat

[blazing python]

that is it. You can double click that to update

[keen linden]

i did that just now

how do i randomize the 3 starters in the normal game

[turbid terrace]

Hey @keen linden! 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!

[tall lark]

why does my viridan forest look like this

[blazing python]

This is usually an issue with your computer. Have you tried restarting your computer (not shutting down by the way, shut down just puts the computer to sleep/hibernate)

[dreamy helm]

my game says a save file is corrupt or incompatible. thers nothing i can do is ther?

[shut schooner]

i still have the problem

[blazing python]

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

[stray wyvern]

dam

[dreamy helm]

nearly finished the game

[shut schooner]

help me i still got the sprites problem

[stray wyvern]

crazy

[tall lark]

just restarted and it didnt work

[blazing python]

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

[tall lark]

discord

[shut schooner]

fuck i cant scroll

i dont arrive till the new messages

[blazing python]

If a save says it is corrupted, we don't have any method to fix it. We have seen this issue occur if you didn't download from an authentic source, but you said you downloaded it from discord so not really sure why your save would be corrupted now

[blazing python]

Are you on version 6.0.5?

Have you tried going to the Pokemon Center, talking to update man, and selecting Fix Game?

[blazing python]

did you try installing sprites recently?

If you have invisible sprites it usually means:

1. Your network is blocking the connection to our Sprite Repo
2. You installed sprites incorrectly
3. You are on a super old version

[blazing python]

can you send your save file here and let me see if it works for me? If it does I can create a new save and send back

[shut schooner]

i just cant see the messages

[tall lark]

yes, talked to him and it didnt work

[blazing python]

what version of windows are you on?

[tall lark]

win 7

[blazing python]

this game is windows 10+

interesting, it loads for me just fine

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

Add this back into your save folder but remove the _ between the name File and A

[dreamy helm]

okay thx

downloaded

yeah thats working thx. was file b that was corrupt 👍

[fickle breach]

so i tried putting the updated custom battlers folder in the game folder and its having loading issues. i looking to load them in manually because i want to be able to play offline.

@somber comet [here](#tech-support message) ya go

[last orbit]

it's the second time that i dwnload the zip and then install the app but continue doing this

[blazing python]

this is usually due to you having screenshots in your savefile folder

You need to:

1. Open your game folder
2. Click on the SaveFile shortcut to get to your save files
3. You probably have screenshots there.

Also are your save files named File A.rxdata? Do you see any that don't start with the name File?

[last orbit]

in fact there was a screenshot but i eliminated it, this is what remains

[blazing python]

Game.rxdata is an old save it looks like. The name of save files have changed. If you want to try and reuse it, renamed File B.rxdata and it should work IF it is compatible

[last orbit]

thank you so much now it runs

now after selecting all the settings it said this

[blazing python]

it seems like that other save file is not compatible with your game so it is crashing it now. I would suggest just deleting the saves

even if it isn't the one you are using for this new game, it is causing troubles with the game

[last orbit]

so i have to eleminate File A and File B?

[blazing python]

I would suspect the one originally named Game.rxdata is the one giving you problems

so File B if you used what I said earlier

[last orbit]

i eliminated it but it sais the same thing as before

[blazing python]

then seems like your other save is not compatible as well

the game is complaining about the files in that save folder

[last orbit]

ok now it runs again, thanks

[vapid arrow]

Hi i was hoping someone could help, I put joiplayer on my phone and tried to launch IF but I get this error after the opening sequence

Hey @vapid arrow! 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]

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 🙂

the bot below your message references the guide

[vapid arrow]

Oops, I'll follow that, sorry and thank you!

[last orbit]

if i left the game on the whole night it will continue downloading the sprites?

[blazing python]

that isn't how it works 😅 the game downloads sprites as you encounter Pokemon

or if you use our new app installer, it installs them all at once

[last orbit]

ahhhh😅

[blazing python]

the app installer has a menu to install the sprites with

[last orbit]

ok thanks

new downloader?

[blazing python]

yup yup, I developed a new one

New App Installer:

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

[sterile pivot]

wut i gotta do?

[ancient zealot]

Might be a known issue but the Installer is flagging as a virus.
(For reference this is the installer file taken directly from the #downloads channel scanned using Virus total)
The reason being seemingly that the installer "Detects executables containing URLs to raw contents of a Github gist". (TLDR is there an offline version that does not talk to github directly so i can be assured im not downloading a suspicious version)

[dapper perch]

I’m trying to find a tutorial of how to update my game does anyone know where to find it. I got told it was over here??

[blazing python]

If you read it closely it states there it is "suspicious" and when I did research on this previously, I found that Bkav Pro is not a reliable vendor. They return many false positives. If you look at all the credible vendors below it, it is clean 🙂

[regal idol]

Hello, I don't want to bother but I've been playing the game for a few weeks but I don't have access to any sprites in the pokedex, sorry if it's not here to ask but I wanted to know if there was a way to the knowledge

Sorry for the poor quality or mistakes

[sterile pivot]

its alr showing the update or batch in my file
does that mean i got it quickly or gotta wait more?

[blazing python]

What version are you on now?

[blazing python]

what version of the game are you on?

[dapper perch]

Uh- let me try and check

[sterile pivot]

its downloaded now

[dapper perch]

It takes a minute to load up for me so give me a sec

[regal idol]

I was installed 4.9.2

[blazing python]

you are on a super old version that doesn't support the sprites anymore

we are on 6.0.5

[regal idol]

Oh- I will take care of that thank you!

[blazing python]

if you were to update your game, your save would not be compatible either until you beat the whole thing (potentially. still a chance to fail)

[regal idol]

How so ?

[sterile pivot]

Yo dude this new download is hella convenient 😭

Thank you

[blazing python]

the whole story has changed since then and a lot of maps aren't compatible. Save file isn't compatible either

Aaah I see

[dapper perch]

I haven’t played since like sableye and them were voted on for being added so.

I suggest you install new because it is a very old version. Your save file should be compatible, but it is near the cutoff of where it might not be.

New App Installer:

[dapper perch]

Ok. Can I transfer my saves over?

[blazing python]

you don't need to transfer anything over. The location of your save is somewhere else on your computer and the current version uses the same folder

[dapper perch]

Ahh ok tysm

I’ll let you know if I need more help but hopefully not.

[tranquil plume]

Also just to clarify I looked over the gamepad settings in Joiplay, it didn't have anything for the actual gamepad just the buttons on the sides and stuff nor did I notice anything pointing out how to do so in the google doc guide

[blazing python]

Opps I didn't answer your second question, no there isn't an offline version at the moment because it currently connects to GitLab so we can validate the version of the tool to combat the fake website that uploaded my installer to their website.

[tawny cipher]

So i maybe just couldn’t find the right section to read and this may not be the right place to ask i am very sorry I’m advance… but i have wanted to play the 6.0 release and wasn’t sure if i should redownload the whole thing but i did and now i have the new menu when booting but should i now just add the newest sprite pack and I’m good to go?

[blazing python]

this is strictly a joiplay issue. Not an issue with the game. We don't troubleshoot JoiPlay. The only advice I can give you is try setting the in game setting for Text Entry to Cursor instead of Keyboard, but the rest is all on joiplay

[tranquil plume]

Ah oki, sorry. I'll look into it thank you

[blazing python]

You can play without downloading any sprites.

The sprites are installed as you encounter pokemon. You only download the sprites if you wanted to install all at once but that is totally optional

[tawny cipher]

Ahhh when i first booted it had my whole save file still and many Pokémon had question marks instead of sprites while looking at my party is this normal?

It’s says version 6.05 when playing

[blazing python]

Yes, but we have a simple fix for it pinned to this channel: [Pinned Message](#tech-support message)

[tawny cipher]

it worked thx so much sorry if that was somewhere easy to find

[dapper perch]

What version am I supposed to have after doing it

[blazing python]

I also editted my og message since I came across very snarky, sorry about that 😅

[blazing python]

we are currently on version 6.0.5

[dapper perch]

And it’s meant to update to that if I did it right?

[blazing python]

correct

[dapper perch]

I’m. On the same version.

[fast bolt]

You're still opening your old files

They are useless now

You install the new version and open that one

[dapper perch]

Hm I clicked on the new one let me try again

[blazing python]

Did you use the link I gave you to install?

[kind herald]

@blazing python you flagged my bug report as a dupe when the other 2v2 reports are different bugs?

[blazing python]

Correct. The 2v2 and 3v3 features of this game do not consistently work. They have issues as you mentioned where you go into a battle expecting a 2v2, but you get a 1v1

[dapper perch]

Yea. I think I just forgot to actually update it so I’m doing so rn. Oops 😅

[blazing python]

It would be better for you to use the Install Game option vs Update for your version

[dapper perch]

I’m doing it from the installation menu on the app is that fine?

[blazing python]

yes correct

going forward, if a game update comes out, you can use the Update Game option, but your version is just very old 🙂

[dapper perch]

The curse of taking a break lmao

[blazing python]

you are opening KIF not our game

our files and their files don't mix. They have a different installation process than we do

[sterile pivot]

Everything is different now

uh

how do i fix it

[blazing python]

if you want to play KIF, you have to go to their discord and follow their installation

[sterile pivot]

ye ik that now but how do i unmix the files

[fast bolt]

KIF is no longer a mod. It is a separate game

[sterile pivot]

any reason why?

[blazing python]

Install our game using our app installer in 1 folder.
Install KIF in a second folder

[sterile pivot]

but delete dis current folder right?

[fast bolt]

They have too many new features to just be added to the base game

[blazing python]

their mod got bigger and bigger and a lot of different code changes. Different dev.

[regal idol]

It's good thank you !

[sterile pivot]

?

[blazing python]

if you want to play our game, yes delete that since that is KIF

you'd have to reinstall

[sterile pivot]

I might be lucky

Since I made a kif folder and put the zip file in there instead of just in the game

I can take the kif folder out

[ripe bluff]

@blazing python , just wanna say thanks for your work on the installer. It was nice and simple.

[blazing python]

I appreciate it! If you have any feedback or suggestions, I can always improve it! Especially the UI/Design. I am probably working on that next 😅

[blazing python]

ah nice save!

[sterile pivot]

Also I still got the unblocked file you gave to me for my saved data

So I don't even gotta start again

Although

I forgot how to add the saved data

[blazing python]

If you using my app installer, go to settings. There is a button to open your save folder

put it in that folder. Just make sure you are naming it File A.rxdata for example

[sterile pivot]

Ahhhh

Icic

[sterile pivot]

Yupp

It works

& when I gave u the saved file I was missing some pokemon

So ty for getting em

[blazing python]

Glad it is all running for you now!

[sterile pivot]

little bug but it all works fine

& some triple fusions be invisible or like that

[blazing python]

Yup that is a known issue. I have commonly reported bugs pinned to this channel. This is 14 on the list [Pinned message](#tech-support message)

[zenith tendon]

Is anyones game extremely slow when loading sprites and such? I know it's a common issue and is due to the internet but my internet is fine, is it just the game itself that is being slow or is there a solution?

[sterile pivot]

Ight

[blazing python]

As the top of the channel mentions, check out our pinned messages

[velvet field]

I just updated my game and now im getting an error for preloaded

[blazing python]

preloaded only gives you an error if you never set it up

it doesn't work out of the box

[velvet field]

it gets stuck on black screen for a while then RGGS script gets stuck

[blazing python]

that is by default, the long black screen.

[velvet field]

oh okay thanks, just let it load?

[blazing python]

Preloaded is preloading all sprites before you get into game to give you better in game performance

if you click on the screen while it is loading, it gives you that crash

yeah everytime you open preloaded, you will get this long black screen. speed of it depends on your machine

[ripe bluff]

Does version 6 normally load slowly between transitions (into/from battle, between maps, etc.)?

[blazing python]

Version 6 does have higher system requirements than before. There are more calculations being done on the fly vs reading from a database so it requires more processing power

[ripe bluff]

Makes sense.

[mint sapphire]

Hey my game has been freezing and crashing alot today when it was working perfectly fine yesterday. it is updated to the latest update. It crashed 3 times on the title screen, once at the start of first rival fight and once when clicking on the starter pokeball in a randomized save. could anyone possibly help me or have any ideas what the cause could be?

[blazing python]

This is usually an issue with your computer. Have you tried restarting your computer (not shutting down by the way, shut down just puts the computer to sleep/hibernate).

Also if you read the above, version 6 has higher system requirements

[mint sapphire]

where can i see the requirements for version 6?

[blazing python]

we dont have official ones posted

[mint sapphire]

well i'm playing on a custom built gaming PC 3070 graphics card with 16gb ram so it shouldnt be a hardware problem

[blazing python]

the issue for most is processor, not graphics card. I suggest you use our new app installer to reinstall the game and install the custom sprites.

This will make sure you have the correct game setup to try again fresh. This won't erase your save data

New App Installer:

[sinful gazelle]

I have a problem, it won't let me install the newest update, or let me play the postgame

[mint sapphire]

no problem ill try that now and restart, thanks for your help

[blazing python]

what version are you currently on

[sinful gazelle]

6.0.2, won't let me update to 6.0.5

I'm on android

[turbid terrace]

Hey @sinful gazelle! 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]

On Android you have to reinstall the game. You can’t just update

Using the link above, download the 6.0.5, transfer your save, and open the new folder in joiplay

The guide goes through how to do that

[sinful gazelle]

I use Joiplay

[blazing python]

I know

[sinful gazelle]

But that still doesn't explain why I could never play the post-game

[blazing python]

The guide also goes through how to fix the elite 4 not working. This is all documented

[zenith plaza]

Why wont my ingame Design wobt Load?

[blazing python]

what is ingame Design wobt?

Are you trying to say why don't your sprites load?

[limber pelican]

post the picture you had sent here

[blazing python]

I see it from his discord logs.

You need to optimize your maps in JoiPlay. Long Tap the game in JoiPlay and select Optimize maps. Link to guide if you need Android guide

[sinful gazelle]

I'm now on 6.0.5

[blazing python]

nice!

[mint sapphire]

I reinstalled via the new installer and have restarted my PC, i'm still having the same problem, the game freezes and after a while i get the message "the RGSS script is stuck the game will now force quit". I'm just very confused as to why this is happening as it worked perfectly fine just yesterday

[turbid terrace]

Hey @mint sapphire! 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

[limber pelican]

Post a screenshot of the error if you can

but a question also.

When you randomized it, did the game have any previous Completed Save Files?

or download of the BaseSpritePack?

[sinful gazelle]

I have to complete the game to unlock the randomizer, right?

[limber pelican]

the game crashes less if you complete the game before randomizer

[blazing python]

No, you just have to save in pallet town and start a new game

[sinful gazelle]

Ok ty

[limber pelican]

since the main error that pops up in randomizer is that the game cannot find a specific pokemon sprite

[blazing python]

You can just download the sprites to solve that

[limber pelican]

yeah,. but are you going to go into the game, crash due to missing sprite, and then add it, and then 2 seconds later crash again for a different sprite

[blazing python]

I’m not talking about installing them one by one. With the new app installer, you can install all the sprites at once.

Also, when you start the randomizer, if you select a custom sprite only run, it’ll download the sprites as well

[limber pelican]

oh yeah, another thing. Randomizer hates game and game-default from my experience

[mint sapphire]

Its the same error that the bot just posted, i had never completed a save yet but i had multiple saves at random points throughout the game, a few of which were randomized. Yesterday i had downloaded the december sprite pack and updated and didnt have any problems but today it was freezing constantly. i did as megaman said and reinstalled via the new installer and it is still happening. I could try to reinstall the sprites again via the installer if that could fix it? but the consistant freezes are happening before im even in the game, first one happens when clicking C during the intro animation, second one happens after the fake website warning

[blazing python]

The error that the bot showed is from clicking on the screen when loading the game

[limber pelican]

if its that error then the game crashed because you clicked on it when its loading

and its that error and not this one right?

[mint sapphire]

yes i haven't seen that one

[limber pelican]

okay, at least thats sorted. This is the error i was talking about for missing sprites

this is the one that normally shows up on non-Preload randomizers

[blazing python]

That isn’t true

Randomizer has nothing to do with that error

[limber pelican]

i know this one is specifically becuase of custom Base Sprites, but this long string for can't find sprites is also what shows up

for the issue i mentioned

[blazing python]

The game doesn’t come with customBaseSprites by default. That is why preloaded fails to open

The repo doesn’t have these sprites checked in

[limber pelican]

im trying to find a better image for what im trying to say

but this was the latest one that was relevant

[mint sapphire]

i'm currently using the installer to install the custom sprites for non preloaded, would this help the game to not freeze up during a randomized playthrough?

[limber pelican]

no, because the thing that makes the game less laggy is Preload itself

[blazing python]

Yeah sprites in general will help

If you have the sprite, it won’t look to download the sprite from the internet, create a folder for it to index, and not sort them

[limber pelican]

but it'll always check to see if there are new sprites, which has them connect to the internet anyway

[blazing python]

No the check is locally

[limber pelican]

yeah, it'll check locally if you ahve the sprite, and then look to see if there are new ones available

[mint sapphire]

thank you for your help guys and sorry to be such a pain

[limber pelican]

no problem dude,

this game is a gem and should be enjoyed when possible

[mint sapphire]

absolutely

[blazing python]

I can help troubleshoot the issue. We have a pinned message for all this information as well you could have followed

Pinned message: [Link](#tech-support message)

[limber pelican]

@blazing python found it

[blazing python]

This is a bug for having randomized trainers. This is a known issue

[limber pelican]

the reason why its happening is because it can't find a sprite to assign to those trainers

since the only reason why it shows up is because people put Custom Sprite Only, the work around was to rerandomize and allow for all sprites

[blazing python]

That hasn’t solved this error in the latest version. We have that documented in a bug

If I can find it since someone suggested rerandomizing and it didn’t solve it

[limber pelican]

i'd like to know if the person who rerandomized had selected Custom Sprites Only again

since at the time people were talking about it/fixing it the common factor between all the cases was Custom Sprite Only was enabled

[blazing python]

Yeah it was a while ago but that could be the reason why I couldn’t reproduce the bug. I have all the sprites installed

It was in this thread I believe: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1175590599269822554

It won’t let me open a bug on my phone right now but I can retry when I get back to a computer by deleting all my sprites

[limber pelican]

hmm, looking at the thread the example didn't confirm nor deny that they reenabled Custom sprite only

[blazing python]

Correct but I believe I mentioned that someone tested re-randomizing trainers

[limber pelican]

i know another point in common was that people who had gotten the error were people with fresh installs 1st playthrough randomizer

[blazing python]

Yeah I can retest this later since it’s a simple test if that is all the requirements

but that is good information to know. Thank you for providing that! I haven’t heard of that condition before

[limber pelican]

yee, i haven't been active in a while (at least for tech support stuff) but it was really relevant when it kept on flooding #gameplay-help

because theyd always ask how to turn on randomizer, and then later on posted that they got an error and crashed

[blazing python]

Yeah, the error that you provided is a little bit different as well. Most of the time it is specific to modern mode and randomized trainers when it comes up now. When we tell them to do classic mode, randomized trainers, they haven’t had issues.

But they could’ve also not selected custom sprites only

[limber pelican]

kk, i know they had overhauled the fusion system too

Hmm, that makes me curious then, when they finally release the updated modern mode do you think the error will stop?

[blazing python]

I am hoping it does. This is one of the common issues that we have specifically for modern mode.

I wonder if I can just test that now as well since they provided the files to publicly test it

From here: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1183086074571001956

It just comes with two files so maybe it won’t fix it but at least that is the data that they’re going to use for encounters

[noble iris]

Hi guys, I'm trying to add a sprite to a pokemon that doesnt have a custom sprite. Is there any way I can do that?

[blazing python]

Yes our pinned FAQ has this information

[noble iris]

[unborn bough]

Hey so I just wanted to find out, does the latest sprite packs work for the joiplay version?

[blazing python]

Yes it does. The game files are the same across all devices. We don’t have an Android apk. Joiplay just lets the PC files open on Android

[unborn bough]

Oh, so should I not be downloading the 6.0.2 joiplay version?

[blazing python]

Nope! You should use our Android guide pinned to this channel. You need our specific joiplay and rpg maker versions as well for it to work

I have a decent pc and good wifi so that is not the problem

it just stays at this screen

[blazing python]

Sounds like you might have paused it as mentioned on the screen

[fair bane]

I didnt click the window at all

It was in my background

[blazing python]

You try checking that file it mentions it shows progress?

[fair bane]

wdym?

[blazing python]

In the middle. Installerrorlog.txt tracks progress of the installation

Every time you open and close it the progress will update. If it doesn’t change, that means it is paused

[fair bane]

lemme try again

[blazing python]

You can click inside the black screen and press enter to unpause

[zealous perch]

dumb question

what do i need to delete/download for the new installer version

[blazing python]

You talking about the app installer?

[blazing python]

Yeah just redownload the zip, extract and use the new folder. Your old installer folder isn’t needed anymore

The quick guide steps link you to it: [Link](#tech-support message)

[zealous perch]

so this is probably on my end from being dumb

but the installer exe is just kinda hanging loose? was it and all the system.<whatever> files supposed to be in their own folder?

[fair bane]

@blazing python how do I know the progress using nstallerrorlog.txt

[blazing python]

Open it and scroll to the bottom of the text

[zealous perch]

I've got like, everything extracted into one folder, that folder has the: IFGame folder, misc, required by installer, and then everything else just kinda loose, i assume i delete everything but the infinite fusion game folder?

[blazing python]

Yeah it is messy right now sorry about that 😅

[fair bane]

all it says is failed to decrypt date need more data

nothing else

[blazing python]

That is the installer trying to connect to the game repo. Each time it says that, it is an attempt

[fair bane]

it has said it like 200 times

[blazing python]

Yup

If it isn’t updating, as I mentioned, you can click in the black window and press enter to unpause if you didn’t restart it already

But it is normal for it to repeat a bunch. Even for me it says that before making the connection

[blazing python]

Yeah that is how it looks like

But as I mentioned you can just extract the zip and use the new folder. You don’t need to delete/move any files

[cloud lantern]

My character is stuck infront of the pokecenter door in ceurlin

[blazing python]

This is a bug with preloaded mode

[mint sapphire]

Do i need to restart in regular mode or will restarting preloaded work?

[blazing python]

Restarting preloaded will work

[mint sapphire]

thank you so much 🙂 you guys are doing gods work

[fair bane]

@blazing python it has been stuck at 31% for like 20 min now

any advice?

[blazing python]

Yeah so it was an internet issue the whole time

My app installer uses this file to install as well with more network code

So it is the same issue. You should reset/plugin your router

[fair bane]

ok I can try that

@blazing python I think it is working

thank you so much

[zealous perch]

@blazing python had some stuff to deal with but just double checking, but i can just extract it in and replace all existing files?

[blazing python]

Extract it and just use the new folder. No need to replace/move anything

[zealous perch]

so dont delete the old 2.3? im confused as to why i would want to keep both

[blazing python]

You can delete the old folder. I was just saying it to prevent you from merging the files or copy/pasting

[zealous perch]

i made it more of a mess hehe

Can anyone tell me how to fix this I've tried deleting and redownloading everything I've tried deleting save files and restarted my computer and this keeps happening the second I name the rival no matter what my old save file has been decimated and I can't play at all

[fading igloo]

did you download from a website?

[formal widget]

Originally I think my friend did but just now I did it from the discord after deleting all old files

(I suck with computers so he does most stuff for me)

[fading igloo]

your friend isnt a friend of yours .. but thats something else

however .. if im not wrong the game can not read the save file you had before, either because its already corrupted from the fake site, or the version you played before is too old (like a savefile from a game prior 5.0

[formal widget]

So is there a way I can fix it? I don't really care about getting the old file back just wanna play the game

[fading igloo]

did that happen when you start a new game?

[formal widget]

Just after I name the rival

[fading igloo]

okay .. thats a job for the tech support genius ... im unable to solve that ..
@blazing python help us !!!!!!! to solve this issue 😄

[blazing python]

You have an old save file in your save folder that isn’t compatible with the game

You need to:

1. open your game folder
2. Open the shortcut named SaveFile
3. That takes you to the Save folder
4. Delete all the items in here. Don't delete the folder, just all the items and try opening the game again

[formal widget]

This correct?

yep, send that to the void

[formal widget]

This happens when I try to open it

[blazing python]

Don’t open it

[fading igloo]

dont open, just delete

[blazing python]

Press delete on it

[formal widget]

Ok now I open the game and hope?

[blazing python]

It will work now

[fading igloo]

(if not, blame megaman xD)

or your friend 😄

[formal widget]

He doesn't know much about pokemon or where to download stuff I only just recently found out about the discord

[fading igloo]

yeah, he probably got an outdated version from pokecommunity

[formal widget]

Thanks guys it worked! Appreciate the help

[fading igloo]

good, i wrote down the error and the fix for myself so i can handle that in future 😄

[fading igloo]

btw .. i noticed something weird in my savefile folder ... you said the game doesnt copy the save files (or whatever it was called) .. but my folder shows several file B's?

[next kernel]

hey can someone help how do i open preloaded version

[fading igloo]

get the preloaded sprites form the pins

[next kernel]

i did

but it doesnt load

[fading igloo]

the preloaded launcher takes a while to start up, due to preloading existing sprites

so it might take a while to start

[next kernel]

oh alright

[fading igloo]

just let it load and dont interrupt it, otherwise you get the error saying the RGSS scripts seems to be stuck

[blazing python]

Those look like save files from using KIF

They have file backups that look like that

[fading igloo]

i dont have KIF, onedrive deinstalled and got the game from this cord and/or your launcher

[blazing python]

Yeah that is odd. They are from September also

[fading igloo]

yep, but as said, the only mod i have installed was demice endgame challenge, which wasnt fused with KIF at that time

[blazing python]

But they have that similar functionality

But yeah interesting it came back somehow

[round drift]

Hey, Ive been having some issues with some of the sprites. They are appearing as a big floating "?". I downloaded the latest sprite pack and added the CustomBattlers folder, but that didnt seem to fix it 🤷

[tranquil cipher]

KIF makes backups for your saves

[tranquil cipher]

Oh

Thought you did use KIF, mb

[blazing python]

We have a fix for the question marks pinned in this channel. But if installing them with the sprite pack didn’t fix that means you installed them incorrectly

Where did you move the CustomBattlers folder to?

[round drift]

Graphics

Ill check the pinned

[blazing python]

And when you opened the game it said thousands of sprites were imported

[round drift]

nope, it said 13...

[blazing python]

Then you moved it incorrectly

If you share a screenshot of inside your graphics folder I can check

[round drift]

Wait no i think it said replace 13 or something

[blazing python]

And can I see inside of CustomBattlers

[blazing python]

Yeah that looks good depending what is in your indexed folder. You should have like 465 folders or something in there right?

[round drift]

yeah there is a lot in the indexed

[tribal marsh]

Hi
I am playing on mobile using JOI play and after I beat the elite four and become the champ the game just Shows a dark screen with an icon in the bottom right corner and doesnt progress

I am playing on the Versions recommended in the #downloads channel
Is this a known bug? And if so how Do i fix it

[turbid terrace]

Hey @tribal marsh! 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]

Yeah pretty odd but doing these steps should fix it: [Instructions](#tech-support message)

[blazing python]

Read the guide the bot linked you. You need to downgrade your version of rpgmaker

[round drift]

Yeah cool, ill see if its worked

[tribal marsh]

Thanks

[weary glade]

Wait, seeing the custom sprites as question marks isn't a dynamic version only thing?

[blazing python]

It is. He didn’t mention preloaded

[round drift]

It worked 🙂 Thanks for your help

[weary glade]

Oh since I saw he was indexing sprites I tought he was playing preloaded

[soft ruin]

so I found the error log here, pls help cause I don't want it to happens again

p/s: I have re-download the newest version up here so I hope it won't happen again

this was my previous game file

[rigid silo]

Yeah that was a known problem with shinies in that old version

[soft ruin]

oh thanks, so I won't get that problem with that new version right ?

[rigid silo]

I havent seen it happen once on the new versions

[chilly goblet]

anyone knows where is the game after this?

[soft ruin]

and I have a question that there is no "debug" option in the new version, so It is not possible to use that feature in the new version ?

[soft ruin]

right at the folder you store that .bat file

[chilly goblet]

uh

what

[soft ruin]

well, at the start, I only get this 2 file (red) and after run that .bat file, my folder turn into this

[chilly goblet]

yeah mine didnt do that

[soft ruin]

oh I see some trouble in the installer log, try put trhe whole folder in another drive, not desktop

[chilly goblet]

oh

[soft ruin]

and try install it again after that

[chilly goblet]

nope

[soft ruin]

still error ?

[chilly goblet]

remote origin

it says it exists but idk where to find it :/

I had another version but it says an error so I thought installing an updated version might work

[soft ruin]

well, delete the old files and try find the zlib.dll in every drive to see where the new files are installed

[chilly goblet]

I did do that before installing

the only thing I could think is maybe the old save files

yeah still got nothin

[soft ruin]

well, this might be smth I don't know so lets wait for another tech-guy to help you

[chilly goblet]

yeah

and I went though all my files 0 clue where the new files are

[rigid silo]

you have none, you missed the error

[chilly goblet]

???

wdym

[chilly goblet]

uh

what does that mean

[rigid silo]

fatal = installer died

your connection dropped while installing

pins have the fix, its a good idea to always first check pins

[chilly goblet]

pins?

[chilly goblet]

oh

got it work now thnx guys

[weary glade]

circled that shit with anger

[arctic pilot]

I am getting this error after the loading screen on joiplay can anyone help me?

[weary glade]

Make sure to follow the Android guide correctly and use the game and apps it provides you

Or else it won't work

The official guides are in the pinned messages on this channel

[arctic pilot]

Can ya link the msg guide msg
I am on mobile and it's awful to find anything

[turbid terrace]

Hey @arctic pilot! 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.

[arctic pilot]

Welp

[vague glade]

anyone can help rn?

[rigid silo]

No need to wait for tech support to show up, always check the pins first and if your problem is not in the pins; drop it in the chat and we will get to it when we get to it.

[vague glade]

asked questions first then started reading got it solved already😅

[deep fiber]

damn dude im really having trouble to install the new version

[vague glade]

like he said i read poinned messages and figured it out

[formal widget]

@blazing python Can you help jseb like you helped me

@deep fiber

[deep fiber]

yeah so, i had the older version and for some reason i couldnt find the file to update it

so i downloaded this

i tried running the game, with the new custom battler sprites already on the graphics folder

and it gave me this error

and the installer wont work neither...

[fading igloo]

that means your files are somewhere in a restricted folder (techstuff blablabla) drag the entire infinite fusion folder to the desktop

[deep fiber]

okay but first

[fading igloo]

wait .. mobile ..

?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

[deep fiber]

this is the preloaded version

[fading igloo]

follow the mobile guide

[deep fiber]

right

[fading igloo]

yeah, confused with a similar warning mb ... you tried to run the preloaded launcher without the preloaded sprites

that error is normal if you dont have the preloaded sprites, also from the pins here

[deep fiber]

where do i download them

[fading igloo]

run the normal launcher, game.exe

[deep fiber]

i thought it was the new sprite packs

[fading igloo]

no, the sprite packs are just the custom sprites

[deep fiber]

oh ok

[fading igloo]

the preloaded launcher need ALL sprites, including the AI generated

but - for you own sake - i doubt you wanna spam your phone with 300k+ images

[deep fiber]

no im on pc

[fading igloo]

then youre fine .. use our installer and get the preloaded sprites form there
(NEW APP INSTALLER) - All-in-one installer and launcher for the game! Stay updated on game and sprite updates -> [Guide](#tech-support message)

[deep fiber]

alright, just one thing

when i downloaded the installer it asked me if i had the game installed, i said no cause i deleted everything to start from zero

and it started downloading the game

but it stopped suddenly..

now am i installing this

can i link it to it?

[fading igloo]

this is joiplay :/

[deep fiber]

oh so it doesnt work on pc?

[fading igloo]

you dont need that, just run the installer i provided, read its notifications (they can be confusing) and if you need help, send a screenshot and send it here

[deep fiber]

alright thanks

[fading igloo]

joiplay is a workaround for mobile devices

[deep fiber]

oh i see

yeah thats what happened the last time i tried

i have my antivirus disconnected btw

[fading igloo]

then click ok, it leads you to the alternate download

or restart your modem

[deep fiber]

it worked, thank you!

[fading igloo]

youre welcome 🙂

[jagged hazel]

So, my base pokemon are just like, blank. Nothing there for Zobat or anything, is this an common glitch?

[fading igloo]

#tech-support message

[rigid silo]

so common that its been in the pins for months

[jagged hazel]

Okay it didn't work but thank you. I think I know an way to fix it by messing with the files but thank you

[rigid silo]

Then preloaded is an option, also in the pins

[jagged hazel]

I am in Preloaded, I think it something where the files of the custom pokemon spirits not loaded all the way, but the gamefreak ones are in the game and working so I going to just catch the pokemon, switch the the spirit that working and move on with my day.

[rigid silo]

Weird, preloaded should crash when sprites are not present. but hey, if that works for you, go for it.

[jagged hazel]

I think I found out, I am at college right now using an VPN to do work and play the game. I think either the VPN too slow or VPN caused crashes because out of no where the Zubat that I try to catch suddenly loaded and spirit after I caught him, blank in battle but in the suddenly work. So it might be the VPN. But worse case, I just important the spirit manual of the pokemon I try to catch.

[rigid silo]

The thing is, preloaded should not make connection with the internet at all

you are using game-preloaded.exe to launch I assume?

[jagged hazel]

Meh, the issue somewhat fix so it just wierd

[jagged hazel]

Yes, is there another one?

[rigid silo]

VPNs do in fact not play nicely with auto downloads

[rigid silo]

nono, but we have plenty of people trying to install preloaded, and then still launch with game.exe

so just making sure

[jagged hazel]

It is the first time I playing V6 or whatever version is the newest. This never happen back in the other version but then again the game getting so big where most pokemon with like 4+ custom spirit ontop of 100000 fusion spirts, I bet their finally be issue loading them after a while with how big the game is

[jagged hazel]

I click on the preload and playing off of it.
To make sure, I click on game-preloaded.exe to play preload and just normal game.exe to play with the game with data right?

[rigid silo]

and what did you use to install preloaded sprites if I may ask?

[rigid silo]

correct

[jagged hazel]

I downloaded the zip of fusion and dump it in, then when the game asked to download with wifi I said yes

That all, didn't get the app just yet pin in here

[rigid silo]

Which zip, many people get the wrong one

[jagged hazel]

Full Sprite pack 1-97 (December 2023)

[rigid silo]

(also, turn of wifi downloads for preloaded)

[rigid silo]

There is your problem

So you did in fact not get preloaded

[jagged hazel]

Okay, how do I do that then?

[rigid silo]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AnfSLMfswVj0GRAI6ediiat9NHpLBWX-HwwMh8_c7nc/edit#heading=h.b67hha4nbt5i

[jagged hazel]

Got it

[rigid silo]

so whats happening is that you only downloaded the fusion sprites, not base pokemon sprites. Which you also need for preloaded

which is why "normal' pokemon are not showing up, you dont have those sprites

then because you enabled wifi downloads, it will try to pull them, but is getting trouble because of the VPN

[jagged hazel]

I see, and by pre-loading, I be able to play the game a bit better, offline (which didn't know there was an difference honestly), then get updates without messing with file dumping, and I guess have less glitches then normal game when using an VPN?

[rigid silo]

correct

[jagged hazel]

Does it auto-update or does it ask me

[rigid silo]

preloaded requires some setup, but ultimately is more stable.

I think it will say when an update is available, but im honestly not sure

[jagged hazel]

But okay, just follow the Google doc and I be all set?

[rigid silo]

yep

[jagged hazel]

Thank you for helping me out, I appercate it a lot

[elfin tulip]

Is there any way to set the game freak sprite to be be the default sprite for all pokemon rather than having to change the pokedex entry for each one individually? the random downloaded sprite choices are not always to my liking

[astral agate]

Hello. I am playing the 6.0.2 the joiplay mobile version. I am only having issues in the menus where the images overlap and disappear.

From comments I read above it sounds as though there is no fix since the game is not designed for mobile. But in case anyone had encountered this and had a fix I thought I'd ask.

[turbid terrace]

Hey @astral agate! 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.

[verbal timber]

nope

you'd have to manually change the sprite for each mon as you either encounter it or catch it

[rigid silo]

no fix

[elfin tulip]

gotcha ty. if i were to manually put all the gamefreak sprites into the custom base sprites folder, could the base sprite downloads be disabled so only the sprites i want exist?

[rigid silo]

no

The game expects all sprites, it would crash if it didnt encounter all sprites and downloads are turned off

it might be worth a shot on non-preloaded, as that wont crash instantly when missing sprites. but im still like 90% sure it wont work and will just show blank sprites for the missing ones then

[verbal timber]

since they are all alts, it'd be fine

in theory anyway

but it is still a lot of work

[rigid silo]

Preloaded still crashes when missing alts

[verbal timber]

...

for dynamic

[rigid silo]

Im pretty sure that counts on alts being there too and will just show blank sprites without downloads

but like I said, worth a shot

[verbal timber]

it doesn't count on the alts

the issue though is there is no file that has just those sprites

so you'd need to download the sprites to then delete the files you don't want

honestly it isn't worth it

[astral agate]

Thank you both

[verbal timber]

it'd be far easier to just change the sprites in the dex and leave it at that

[rich oak]

Has anyone found a good way to get the game to run on steam deck? I was able to run it a few months ago, but I haven't updated the game yet and never got the audio to work properly

[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 for our guides ^^

[elfin tulip]

hmmm unfortunate. in that case do you know if pokedex choices are retained between save files?

[verbal timber]

they are not

each save is self contained

[torn blaze]

I want to download the game, but have a pretty basic not super strong laptop. Should everything still run alright? What issues might come up?

[blazing python]

Slowness going from one area to another. Slow moving from Pokemon to Pokemon in the PC. Loading before and after fights.

[rigid silo]

Out of interest, I quickly tried it with a clean install. turned off auto downloaded sprites right on launch, altered a base sprite in the game files to confirm the test, and its still selecting random alts and pulling them. How does it work with your method?

[blazing python]

Custom base sprites don’t affect fusions

But it can select any random alt it can find one based on dex entry

[rigid silo]

The thing was; they wanted only gamefreak base sprite.
I thought that was impossible in the current state, mordrid assured me that using Dynamic + turn off auto download + only add the desired base sprite in the files will result in that

but it is seemingly still pulling the base sprites and selecting a random one, as I expected

[verbal timber]

hm

[blazing python]

It will only work if only the gamefreak sprite is available for that deck entry. The game is coded to choose a random alt sprite, so there is a mix in the folder, it will randomly choose.

[rigid silo]

By folder you mean the repo?
since in this test my local folder was entirely empty with a changed base

ill run it again and try adding some garbage in the customs folder

[verbal timber]

I know that gamefreak sprites should exist for all mons up to gen 5, after that they swapped from 2D to 3D so not sure if the gen 6 or 7 sprites have a gamefreak base

[spring canopy]

Can someone help me me with the batfile? Theres no option for me to open it

[blazing python]

Double clicking it didn’t work?

[shrewd cairn]

Is the game taking 8-10 seconds after every battle to remove the black screen for anyone else as well?

[spring canopy]

No neither did right clicking

[blazing python]

Read our pinned messages. Perf tips are pinned

[compact steppe]

Im trying to adjust my keybinds as its doesnt seem to be set well for xbox controller but everytime I try to click a button for most keybinds the button isnt working. any ideas?

[verbal timber]

you can't rebind controllers by default

[blazing python]

Show a screenshot of what happens when you double click

[verbal timber]

you have to either run the game through steam or use a third party program like Joy2Key

[final barn]

Hi guys

[compact steppe]

oh okay got it. thank you.

[verbal timber]

do you need tech help? if not please go to one of the other chat channels

[final barn]

Yes iam

[unborn zenith]

Im trying to download it on my laptop and I extracted it but now its telling me the system cant find the path specified

[verbal timber]

did you follow the guide for andr0id

[blazing python]

This is Chromebook?

[final barn]

Where is the guide for android can i check it again

[turbid terrace]

Hey @final barn! 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]

Guide^^

[spring canopy]

Yeah unfortunately

[verbal timber]

that'd be why

[final barn]

Tks a lot

[blazing python]

You have to use Chromebook instructions not normal instructions

[verbal timber]

we have a "untested" guide for Chromebook in the linux 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 and click the Linux guide to find Chromebook info

[spring canopy]

Gotcha my friend sent me that one so i wasnt clear on that ill check it out

[blazing python]

That means you didn’t extract it. Don’t open the zip file you get. Just right click it and select extract all and it will create a folder

[blazing python]

This error you got means your phone isn’t compatible

[unborn zenith]

it did create a new folder but inside is the exact same as the zip folder

[rigid silo]

So let me get this straight before I launch, so im sure I understand.
If I now launch with dynamic, downloads turned off, this 1 sprite already preloaded, nothing else being present for charmander, I should be getting this sprite when I encounter charmander right?

[verbal timber]

in theory yes, in practice....

no idea

i made the assumption but had no means of testing

though you might want to nix the letter variant

that might be causing some weirdness

just have it as 4.png

[rigid silo]

sure, ill run it like this. ill still know which one was selected because of the flip

[verbal timber]

fair

[rigid silo]

nope.

seems like base sprites ignore the "turn off auto downloads"

[elfin tulip]

thats what i was finding as well

[blazing python]

Download sprites I believe is just for custom sprites. Not base sprites

[rigid silo]

So maybe when you totally exclude dynamic from any internet connection by blocking it

[sand harbor]

Hey folks currently trying to download the game on Steam Deck right now, currently have an issue where the installer .sh file cannot detect any of the other dependencies in the folder

The .sh file doesn’t work in general

[sand harbor]

i see thanks

[elfin tulip]

ty for the help!

[final barn]

Tks for your help i can play the game now. Luvuuu

[blazing python]

did you reinstall the plugins? is that what made it work?

[final barn]

Yes, iam following the step that you give me in the android guide and it works, tks a lot

[blazing python]

ok nice!

[atomic bridge]

so i just did a reinstall of the game and it said im missing the species.zip file

[blazing python]

you have the old installer so it will say that. it doesn't prevent the installation

[atomic bridge]

does it cause any issues at all

[blazing python]

no that is a file that isn't used anymore

[atomic bridge]

cause i did a reinstall cause my pokeradar didnt show the sprites when using it instead it showed dna symbolls

[blazing python]

if you playing randomized this is a known issue

[atomic bridge]

is their a known fix or no

[blazing python]

no

[fading igloo]

well, there is a fix ... dont use the pokeradar in randomizer

[atomic bridge]

then their is no way to tell whats in a route

[blazing python]

nope

[fading igloo]

thats the main point in a randomizer

[atomic bridge]

thats frustrating

thanks for the info

[fading igloo]

actually, im wondering why? the game has the randomizer file .. is the issue it cant read it?

[tranquil cipher]

Probably different sized pngs that were used explicitly for radar, and associated with specific routes, not associated with specific pokemon that also appear on that route

Would be my guess

[blazing python]

Because the randomizer scrambles their dex numbers, thats how their wild encounters are shuffled.

that is also why debug mode doesn't work to add pokemon because the dex number actually changes

[fading igloo]

yeah, i noticed randomizer randomizes the dex too

well, theres a workaround for it

[blazing python]

but this has been this way since even before 6.x. Scrambling I mean, the radar not working I believe is 6.x specific

yeah first bug report for this issue was after 6.0 was released: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1175417489564373073

[fading igloo]

well, i found the workaround myself .. add a pokemon via debug, select in in the box/team (whereever it spawned) and change species . that dex number isnt randomized

[blazing python]

yeah with debug you can change whatever you want lol

[fading igloo]

well, i havent found a way to switch from classic to modern with debug xD

[tranquil cipher]

Probably can just rename the modern dat files as the classic ones and replace them

But not through debug probs

[spring canopy]

Is it possible to download on an ipad?

[blazing python]

no
