it did not work. This is the error that keeps popping up when I try to enter the Pokemon House in Lavender Town.

So... yeah, am I softlocked?

[verbal timber]

hm

not an error i'm familiar with

[tawdry nexus]

because if I can't enter there I assume I can't progress the story

[verbal timber]

are you playing a randomized save

[wide zinc]

Is there a file I can edit? F1 isn't doing anything for me.

[verbal timber]

f1+fn

[tawdry nexus]

A custom game, specifically. Custom Starter, otherwise it's essentially Classic Mode.

[verbal timber]

try updating your game again

[wide zinc]

Right. I've tried that, and a completely different keyboard. The function keys work on both boards

[verbal timber]

and then fix the game again with the help man

[outer basin]

Get this every time I try to catch Necrozma

[verbal timber]

then you are out of luck

[verbal timber]

fix game via help man, see if that resolves it

[tawdry nexus]

I mean, it's on the latest version, but okay. I'll give it a shot.

[wide zinc]

Damn

[verbal timber]

yeah the keybinds thing is only accessible via F1 or F1+FN

[weary flint]

Ok I'm doing a clean install

[verbal timber]

you know what all you need to do for that right?

[sudden vault]

So... This happened

[verbal timber]

?tag launcher

[pearl magnet]

For this newest version of Pokémon Infinite Fusion, The launcher will not work right away. It is recommended to use the lightweight installer to reinstall fresh

HOWEVER, there is a workaround fix. In the launcher, click the “Game Files” button, find the “InfiniteFusion.exe” file, and rename it to “game.exe” Video

[weary flint]

Just to be sure, it comes with all up to date custom sprites right? I don't wanna run into this again

[sudden vault]

Ah

Got it

Thanks

[verbal timber]

yes, a fresh install will come with all but the 3 most recent packs

[weary flint]

Yeah, erase all game files and reinstall using the lightweight installer from #downloads

[verbal timber]

partly correct

[weary flint]

It means 110, 111 and 112?

Where can I get those?

[verbal timber]

How to Clean Install:

• Delete existing files/folders/zip/etc. of Infinite Fusion [this doesn't include your saves] (even from your recycle bin)
• Restart your device
• Get a fresh download of the files following the guide for your device

[verbal timber]

no, 111, 112, 113

[weary flint]

I haven't reseted my laptop but it opened just fine

[verbal timber]

113 is found in #spritepack-releases you'd need to get the other 2 in #announcements let me link the corresponding messages

#announcements message

[tawdry nexus]

Didn't work. I'm getting a different error now.

[verbal timber]

#announcements message

[verbal timber]

i mean that is progress

[novel beacon]

okay so it launches from my file manager but shortcuts won't work?

[placid wadi]

my game will not load anymore, screen will appear and then it vanishes

[verbal timber]

for 112, click the link that says monthly pack

[verbal timber]

make a new shortcut

[novel beacon]

i did

The most likely reason your game is opening and closing is due to improperly updated game files. We mention in #downloads to not update ANY files versions 6.4.2 and below.

If you're using the Launcher:

1. Open the settings tab
2. Click "Reset Config"
3. Re-update
   NOTE: The original path that the launcher shows will be your old game folder. That folder should be deleted. The new game folder will be in PIFLauncher1.1.1/GameFiles/InfiniteFusion

If you're not using the Launcher:

Use the Lightweight installer guide to install in a NEW folder ➡️ Click Here⬅️

If you are on a non-Windows device, follow the [guide](#tech-support message) for your device to reinstall.

Reinstalling on Windows does not affect Save Files in any way.

[verbal timber]

i've got 2 other things for you to try

[novel beacon]

ah nvm it was just being funny it seems to work now

[tawdry nexus]

I'm listening

[verbal timber]

do a clean install of the game files, if you scroll up a bit you can see how I explained that

if that yields the same problem [even with a different error] then we can move onto the second option

[weary flint]

What about 111?

Nvm

Got them

[verbal timber]

lol

?tag importsp

[pearl magnet]

To successfully import your own custom sprite, please follow these steps:

Sprite Requirements:

1. Format: The sprite must be in .png format.
2. Naming Convention: Name your sprite according to the game's dex numbering. For example, a fusion of Aegislash and Goodra should be named 329.446.png.

Importing Your Sprite:

1. Ensure your sprite meets the criteria above.
2. Open your game folder and navigate to Graphics/CustomBattlers/Sprites to import.
3. Paste your sprite into this folder.

In-Game Instructions:

1. Launch the game.
2. The game will automatically detect the new sprites.
3. If you have an existing sprite that you're replacing, select the option "Replace All the old sprites with the new ones" when prompted.

Once completed, you can view your custom sprite in-game from the Pokedex's Sprite tab.

[verbal timber]

then just copy all the sprites in the custom battlers folder and drop them in the above listed folder

hi i recently pressed yes to updating sprites and the sprites were not updated at all

[verbal timber]

try reupdating the file

[tawdry nexus]

did a clean install, didn't do diddly.

[rose ember]

Hi guys, I notice with both charizard/gardevoir and metang/deino, using DNA reverser has caused me to switch to the undesired ability (blaze over synchronize and clear body over what will eventually be levitate); the latter is a huge bummer. I just downloaded the game last week. Is this normal gameplay or a bug?

[verbal timber]

ok, one last option, if this fails then i think something with your save borked

[fresh timber]

thx

[verbal timber]

normal

reverser will swap to the other ability

[rose ember]

heck

Thank you

[rotund hill]

is there a domunemt or something that tells you how to safely and correctly uninstall the game? last time i did it i messed something up and i don't want to repeat it

[verbal timber]

just delete the game folder

that is uninstalling it

bout the only thing that won't touch is your saves

[dreamy oyster]

If I where to delete the InfiniteFusion File in PIF Launcher File & replace it with the new one I download will that some what fix it? all tho I still won't be able to use the PIF Launcher cus it will read it as "corrupt"

[rotund hill]

what about the launcher? will that cause any hiccups?

so leave the launcher as is?

[verbal timber]

i'd recommend a clean install

[verbal timber]

if you don't want any files, delete it

[dreamy oyster]

yea thats what the "new one" I was talking about is

[rotund hill]

im getting the 6.5.1 error so just making sure i do everything right

i did but when i try to open it it just imediatly closes, so either i'm doing something wrong or i need to just reinstall it again from scratch

[blissful dagger]

every time i go to knot island i get told my randomizer has messed up and i need to reshuffle even after i have reshuffled

[verbal timber]

fix game, then reshuffle

if the issue persists after that, come back

[blissful dagger]

got it

[nocturne hill]

here's a minor one. autogen dex entries keeps turning itself back to 'off' as soon as I exit the menu.

[tawdry nexus]

So it worked. I guess downgrading to the previous version (6.5.1) via the altdownload method helped.

So I'm guessing a script got mucked up somewhere in 6.6

[verbal timber]

weird, save the game, close the game, relaucnh, load your save, change it, save again and go back in to see if it stays

[verbal timber]

hm

[verbal timber]

@loud sigil since you have porygon powers, might want to bug report log this

seemingly fixed via alt download install [which is still on v6.5.1]

so it is unique to 6.6

[tawdry nexus]

might be a good idea to make note of both errors I took screenshots of.

[verbal timber]

yep

tied to the Pokemon Tower Mr. Fuji's House in Lavender

[nocturne hill]

Seems like entering the menu is the thing turning it off, if I stay out of Options it stays active

[verbal timber]

odd

[nocturne hill]

very strange but not intrusive

[tawdry nexus]

No, not the Pokemon Tower, the "Pokemon House" map, Mr. Fuji's house below the tower.

[verbal timber]

oh

[half crown]

Hey! I did the sprite problem thing, clearing the cache. But when I went back to do a fight the foe's Wigglytuff sprite didn't appear

There is a solution for this?

[verbal timber]

you likely hit the download cap [if you have download data turned on]

be patient, need to wait til the cap timer resets [only frog knows this]

just keep playing, sprites will eventually reorient themselves

[half crown]

okey thanks

[tawdry nexus]

and specifically, his house was in the state where he is absent, but before you see him being taken upstairs by Team Rocket.

so it's entirely possible that the bug could also be tied to story progression

[weary flint]

Ok I know what the base sprites in the packs are for, but where do I exactly put them? Is it in graphics/battlers?

[verbal timber]

nowhere

the other folder isn't needed

those are all sprites the game doesn't use under normal circumstances

think of those as extra sprites

[weary flint]

I put the new eggs for numel and the alola dragon

[verbal timber]

that's fine

[short sluice]

What file is the launcher under? I did the redownload and the game works but the launcher is gone

[weary flint]

And in the readme file says the triples are just alternative sprites for triple fusions

[verbal timber]

but you can only have 1 triple fusion sprite

?tag triplealt

[pearl magnet]

Triple Fusions are not meant to have alt sprites. You can only manually change their main sprite. For more info: ➡️ https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1195043740855832586

guys my internet provider sais firemedia link is malicious

[verbal timber]

it is fine

as long as it is our links

from this discord

[weary flint]

I think it's for like, if you wanna swap the existing ones

[rigid silo]

the launcher is discontinued from #downloads

[verbal timber]

that is what those sprites are for, they aren't needed

[short sluice]

I dont see that in downloads but im also blind xD. Thank you.

[verbal timber]

you don't see it because it got removed

alright i'm stumped again, the launcher is being weird so i tried doing it with the install or update.bat
it's saying this, is this correct or no?

[rigid silo]

guess I will make a thick note about it in #downloads too

[rigid silo]

yeah looks fine

[weary flint]

Guess now I'm ready to go

[verbal timber]

the letters/numbers following HEAD is now at will always be random and not match the guide

[verbal timber]

yep, keep download data on as an extra backup, the packs are behind the repo by at least a month

[meager comet]

Mine is only called "infinitefusion"

[verbal timber]

but not every fusion has a custom sprite

[rotund hill]

i was more refering to the "6.6" since the launcher with the failed update window says the current version is "6.5.something" which feels wrong to me?

[verbal timber]

the .exe is likely hidden

[meager comet]

where would it be 😭

[verbal timber]

as the bot thing we've been poking for part of the day says, the file the launcher USED to look for got renamed

[meager comet]

what happens if i play in the older version? Do I risk corrupting my save file?

[verbal timber]

that is why it keeps going "hey you have a version that isn't correct"

[west spoke]

I’m trying to do randomizer but I keep getting stuck on the wild pokemon are being shuffled

[verbal timber]

if you have stuff unique to the new version yes

[meager comet]

uh oh... i better update my game

which i cant do 😭

[verbal timber]

try fixing the game via help man then rerandomize

[verbal timber]

you can

[rigid silo]

yeah you can

[meager comet]

I cant find the infinitefusion.exe

[rigid silo]

you already found it

[meager comet]

i only find infinitefusion

if you are using a shortcut, you will have to make a new one

Hi! I just downloaded onto my pc and started a file, how do I change the key mapping? I feel like I’m struggling some, I’m stuck at the beginning trying to change because I’m struggling with the keys, and would love to change them up if possible.

[meager comet]

I am sooo confused 😭

[verbal timber]

if you are using the shortcut for the launcher, that was linked to InfiniteFusion.exe, which you renamed
thus it is trying to find a file that doesn't exist anymore

[meager comet]

so what do i do

[rotund hill]

somehow i fck it up again, i'm trying something hang on. Look i know i'm stupid and i get overwhelmed by things i attempt to understand that i dont

[verbal timber]

open the launcher from the PIF folder

then click play on that and see if it does the same thing

if it does then I would just honestly recommend moving over to the lightweight installer

[meager comet]

it does

it wont update

im gonna cry

[verbal timber]

since the launcher will continue breaking with each game update

[meager comet]

my save file...

[verbal timber]

your save is not tied to your game folder

[rigid silo]

your save file is fine regardless. it is not affected by game files at all.
dont worry

[meager comet]

oh so im good?

then do i just need to install the game the other way?

the packs are behind by like 1-2 months

or if a sprite is there, it is invis, which means the old issue with credits hasn't been fully fixed yet

you could have hit the download cap

[rotund hill]

ok... so, youre saying i need to rename t=one of these to "game" and the launcher should be able to sort it out. correct?

[stiff seal]

Update: I edited the key mapping on my laptop and now only the directional ones work, I even closed the game. If I reset to default it works? But I don’t necessarily want them at default. Am I doing something wrong?

[verbal timber]

rename it to game

Anyone able to point me in the right direction with this error?

did what it asked but keep getting this error

[verbal timber]

then you didn't

because if you clicked ok, you'd have v6.5.1 via the alt download

best bet is fresh install using the lightweight guide

I did
I dowloanded that and then extracted it into my folders

one of your messages say if youre having issues to "re-config" the files. i did that then the launcher kept failing to update it around the 97-98% mark and said to consult a doc.

I click the box, press the button but it doesn't change and instead makes the action respective to that button in game

Hey @rotund hill!

How to Update to the Latest Version (Windows)

• If you're on or above 6.4.2, double click INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat to update.
• If you're below 6.4.2, you must either reinstall in a NEW folder (since the updater won't work due to bugs) or use the New Launcher to update.
• Reinstalling doesn’t remove or require you to move any Save Files.
• If playing on a Randomized save, make sure to reshuffle after updating. Use ?tag reshuffle if you need help.

because the launcher isn't being upkept anymore

the dev behind it left discord as a whole for personal reasons

we were expecting it to break eventually

[rotund hill]

so ive been stupid this this entire time?

[verbal timber]

if the problems keep persisting with the launcher, I highly recommend moving over to the lightweight installer

[verbal timber]

no, we found a mini fix for the launcher but some people keep having issues

[rotund hill]

so as long as the top of the launcher says "6.6.0" there's no issue?

it just the launcher having a freakout?

[verbal timber]

well it'll be whatever the latest version of the game is

but all you should need to do is rename the one file to game

then when you click play it will see you have the correct file and not freak out [or it should]

[weary laurel]

i keep getting this when i try to update

[verbal timber]

nothing wrong

everything looks guchi

[rotund hill]

and so i'm understanding this correctly... the "lightweight launcher" is the "INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat"?

so i literally had so issue from the start? i am... not surprised

[verbal timber]

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

welcome to technology, things can/will break

and no...we don't know why

[leaden kelp]

Cheers for the help
Apologies for the issues

[rotund hill]

and to correct something i stated earlier... the file didn't "re-rename" itself, a new instance of "InfiniteFusion.exe" just appered, i just didn't check enough

i apoligise for that mistake

[verbal timber]

lmao

[rotund hill]

so the tldr of the conslusion. from this point on:
Update using "INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat"
Play using "InfiniteFusion.exe"
Disregard the launcher

is that correct?

[weary flint]

Yeah, I was only able to change two buttons, but the others no luck, Im trying to change B to A but it only opens up the menu in game and it doesn't change

[verbal timber]

ye

[weary laurel]

everytime i try to update i get this

[verbal timber]

?tag launcher

[pearl magnet]

For this newest version of Pokémon Infinite Fusion, The launcher will not work right away. It is recommended to use the lightweight installer to reinstall fresh

HOWEVER, there is a workaround fix. In the launcher, click the “Game Files” button, find the “InfiniteFusion.exe” file, and rename it to “game.exe” Video

[verbal timber]

though the renaming infinitefusion.exe was only for the launcher

so you don't need the renamed file

[verbal timber]

...

see if would have helped if you mentioned controller

?tag controller

[pearl magnet]

You can press F1 (FN + F1 on laptops) to change your keybindings!

Be aware, controllers will be auto mapped to buttons depending on which controller you plug in.

If you want to remap buttons on controller, you need to use Steam since this game doesn't support it. How to use Steam: [Guide](#tech-support message)

[verbal timber]

the game has limited controller support

[weary flint]

Oh

[verbal timber]

here I was thinking you were on keyboard and the game just went "Nope, you don't get to rebind"

which it does do on occasion

source - me

[sick gust]

was scrolling up a bit to make sure I don't just repeat previously asked stuff, but to clarify- if I'm getting the update error for 6.6.0, I need to go to the alt download to reinstall 6.5.1 right?

[rotund hill]

i thank you and appreciate your patience with my failures to easily comprehend you instructions. i've removed the old most likely corrupted files and tested the new one. everything seems working and save files are still present

[sick gust]

or is it a pc issue for properly running/updating 6.6.0 files

[verbal timber]

no worries

[verbal timber]

you had the necrozma error right

[sick gust]

I didn't look too closely at the error to be honest

[rotund hill]

those "old" files. when i'd rename the exe to game it's image would change to the old logo so i'd assumed that aint supposed to happen. the new one kept the new blue and purple logo

[verbal timber]

nvmd, you have the launcher error

[sick gust]

Yeah, I tried updating through the launcher

[verbal timber]

?tag launcher

[pearl magnet]

For this newest version of Pokémon Infinite Fusion, The launcher will not work right away. It is recommended to use the lightweight installer to reinstall fresh

HOWEVER, there is a workaround fix. In the launcher, click the “Game Files” button, find the “InfiniteFusion.exe” file, and rename it to “game.exe” Video

[verbal timber]

^try this

if that fails, you need a fresh download using the lightweight installer

[rotund hill]

doesn't matter now, they're gone. new one works perfectly fine

[sick gust]

Alright, will try that

[rotund hill]

let me just... un-pin the launcher from my task bar and we're completely guchi XD

[sick gust]

When I relaunch the launcher, should I try to update the game again or just run it

[verbal timber]

just click play

updating the game would just change the file back

[sick gust]

Says game files were corrupted 💀

"game doesn't exist in this folder"

[verbal timber]

then delete the pif launcher folder and get a fresh install with the lightweight

not in the mood to go on long troubleshoot to figure out how to solve that

the launcher is effectively dead anyway

[sick gust]

alrighty

[verbal timber]

your saves are fine

[sick gust]

thanks for the help

[rotund hill]

actually one last question before i f-off, @verbal timber . What is "InfiniteFusion-performance.exe" anyway?

[sick gust]

yeah I know

[verbal timber]

np

[verbal timber]

a scaled down version of the normal application

meant to run on lower end machines or older devices

[rotund hill]

ahh i see. its the 144p version XD

[verbal timber]

pretty much

[rotund hill]

ahh ok, thanks

[sick gust]

when you say delete the launcher folder do I just wipe my app with it? Probably dumb question but just wanted to make extra sure

[verbal timber]

the PIF folder has everything it needs

so deleting the folder will delete everything inside it

[sick gust]

so when I get the lightweight installer it'll sort all the relevant files out while installing right

[verbal timber]

the guide goes over that

[barren jasper]

Hi, does anyone know why since the last update a lot of sprites are just gone, even showing the spriter's name ?

[weary flint]

What's the button to switch to move mode in the box?

[verbal timber]

i don't think there is a dedicated button for that

[rotund hill]

i can only assume it mease just highlight and delete these two files? correct me if i'm wrong

[verbal timber]

no

[limber pelican]

there is no mass move button

[verbal timber]

you should have had all the PIF launcher files in 1 folder

[rotund hill]

nvm then

[verbal timber]

lol

[rotund hill]

no touch then?

[verbal timber]

if you still have those you can yeet them

as long as the remaining game files aren't touched

[rotund hill]

but you just said no?

the two files in the red box

[verbal timber]

sometimes the game files can be weird

yeah go ahead and yeet those

if things bork, just rerun the INSTALL_OR_UPDATE batch file

will give you everything you need

[rotund hill]

that what i ment with the above message. sorry i wasn't clear

two files in red box in pic = yeet?

[verbal timber]

ye

they are not needed

[rotund hill]

commencing yeeting

[rotund hill]

the only things in that folder now are Gamefiles and Appfiles

[verbal timber]

appfiles may also not be needed but im not 100% sure

i think that is all stuff for the launcher itself

[rotund hill]

ill leave it untouched then, just in case

[weary flint]

I mapped my buttons through steam just like in the guide but they aren't working

[tulip ember]

Is it possible to download an old version of the game? On update 6.6 not all sprites shows up for me

[verbal timber]

known issue

[tulip ember]

It's like veryyy laggy if I scroll on a pokemon with a question mark

[verbal timber]

if that doesn't fix it, you likely hit the download cap

[tulip ember]

Tried, doesn't work

[verbal timber]

then you hit the download cap

[tulip ember]

That's a thing??

[verbal timber]

be patient

yes

[charred solstice]

So the new update broke my quest journal. It won't update with the quests I completed. Any way to fix it?

[tulip ember]

What is it, sorry to annoy you

[verbal timber]

only Frog knows

and he hasn't shared

[tulip ember]

Oooh

[limber pelican]

A better explanation is that for the game to download sprites to your computer, he hosts all the fusions on a server. This server is free as long as it doesn't hit the bandwidth/no suspicious behaviors

which, got the last server nuked.

[verbal timber]

not free

frog does pay for it

[limber pelican]

it cost less then

[verbal timber]

but he keeps the download in check so he doesn't pay more

[limber pelican]

that and the server doesn't ban him again

[verbal timber]

different repo host

we moved off gitlab

i think

[limber pelican]

okay, what is preventing them from banning him again due to a suspiciously high download rate

[verbal timber]

he has it controlled

[limber pelican]

yeah, which is why we have the download cap, just saying it could happen again

[tulip ember]

So I just have to be patient? I just wanna play pkm 😔😔

[verbal timber]

he set it so the game can only download so many sprites at certain intervals before it locks up

the download cap is so frog doesn't pay more than he already is for the repo host

source

#tech-support message

that was what part of the 6.3 beta was for

so he could fine tune that limit

[trim spade]

Hey all, game refuses to update for me getting this pop up

[verbal timber]

delete the PIF Launcher it is no longer being upkept

#downloads message

[charred solstice]

the new update broke my quest journal. It won't update with the quests I completed. Any known way to fix it?

[verbal timber]

help man, fix game

if that doesn't do it, then it might be a bug with 6.6+

[charred solstice]

Aight. Wasn't sure. Danke

[verbal timber]

in which case we'd need screenshots so the porygon team can log it

[tulip ember]

Alright thank you very much for the answer

[charred solstice]

Not to be annoying but where would I send those?

[tulip ember]

Okay last question and i'm gone.
Approximately how much time do I have to wait so Frog can get past the download cap? (Like how much time it took last time)

[verbal timber]

here

[verbal timber]

only he knows

and he hasn't shared

we don't know the number of sprites nor the amount of time needed

and he isn't getting past the cap, your game is

[weary flint]

Crap

[tulip ember]

Sorry I meant this , i'm french so im kinda dumb

[weary flint]

Now Geodude is a big question mark

[verbal timber]

no worries

[verbal timber]

yeah just likely means you hit the download cap

the download is likely getting hell slammed right now

so probably hitting the cap frequently

not much you can do but keep playing

[eternal rock]

What do i do if my game doesn't even load anymore? I ran the installer and i tried renaming to game.exe but nothing worked

[verbal timber]

if you are using the launcher, don't

it isn't being upkept anymore and isn't working correctly with the current game version

best bet is delete your PIF Launcher folder and get a fresh install using the Lightweight Installer

?tag guides

[pearl magnet]

All of our Official Guides to install the game are located here: [CLICK HERE FOR GUIDES](#tech-support message)

[charred solstice]

The three quests I completed, showing the completion dialogue, with the ongoing quest journal not updated. Also the Quest man hasn't updated his numbers either

Not sure what the cause is but if this needs any more screenshots or something lemme know

[marble lodge]

I need help, i upgrade my game with the command Installl or update but i have two set of application and no one launch the game (sorry for my english, i speak french)

[weary flint]

Oh ok, so it doesn't harm my game at all just that some sprites won't load, that's it?

[verbal timber]

yep, no harm no foul

[verbal timber]

fresh install would be your best bet

[eternal rock]

it worked, thank youuu

[frail tusk]

hello, i asume i aint the only one having this issue, but it keeps happening everytime i try to use a ticket to trade, anyway of solving it?

[loud elm]

Yeah I got that error too

[frail tusk]

worst part of it, you lose the ticket

[bright gulch]

How do you tell what version of the game you have?

I'm trying to update it

I double clicked on this and it pulled up this

Is it updating?

[verbal timber]

if fixing the game via the help man doesn't resolve it, then it may be an error unique to 6.6+

[verbal timber]

title screen of the game has the version

but so far from what I see out of that command prompt, it is updating

[bright gulch]

ok good

I had to delete the screen shot to protect private info

[heavy tide]

please, i need help. I wanted to update my PIF from v6.6.0 to the v6.6.1, but at the start of the game it still says v6.6.0. And some of the sprites of the game now are missing, they appear as a question mark ("?") or just a blank space. Is there a way to fix this without losing my game file? (sorry if there is a grammar mistake, English isnt my main language)

[clever depot]

How do I ask the bot how to get to a city?

[ashen marsh]

can someone help me

how am i version 6.6.0

and how do i fix this

[verbal timber]

move off the launcher

it isn't being upkept anymore

[ashen marsh]

how so

[verbal timber]

swap to the Lightweight Installer

[verbal timber]

delete the PIF Launcher folder

get a fresh download/install of the lightweight

using that guide

[heavy tide]

oh thanks!

[verbal timber]

if that fails, you'll need to be patient, there is a limit to how many sprites the game can download and it is being hammered

will not be at my pc for a bit so no one need help since i think all the usual tech support staff is on break

[vale carbon]

nothing appeared when i downloaded it

[charred ruin]

Did you get guys removed some sprites

[vale carbon]

in my folder no

[sturdy stream]

When I finished updating it all it does when I try to play it, it goes on my screen for a few then dissappears from my screen

[verbal timber]

the issue is i don't see anything in that which would indicate an issue

rerun the batch installer

[verbal timber]

some sprites did get removed though; not much we can do about that

[verbal timber]

?tag olddata

[pearl magnet]

The most likely reason your game is opening and closing is due to improperly updated game files. We mention in #downloads to not update ANY files versions 6.4.2 and below.

If you're using the Launcher:

1. Open the settings tab
2. Click "Reset Config"
3. Re-update
   NOTE: The original path that the launcher shows will be your old game folder. That folder should be deleted. The new game folder will be in PIFLauncher1.1.1/GameFiles/InfiniteFusion

If you're not using the Launcher:

Use the Lightweight installer guide to install in a NEW folder ➡️ Click Here⬅️

If you are on a non-Windows device, follow the [guide](#tech-support message) for your device to reinstall.

Reinstalling on Windows does not affect Save Files in any way.

[sick gust]

so is Necrozma just busted

[verbal timber]

someone got a necrozma error earlier, i told them to use an older version that is still available for download but never heard back on whether that fixed it

outside that I'm not aware of any other issues with necrozma

[sick gust]

my game just crashed after I caught it

[verbal timber]

did you get an error that just said necrozma a bunch of times?

[sick gust]

let me catch him again and ss the error

[drifting comet]

Is the android download link updated to the newest version? I just did a fresh install and when I load in my game is still saying 6.5.1

[verbal timber]

person who updates that is busy, either later tonight or tomorrow it should get updated

[lilac lily]

I would like elaboration on updating. It says to uninstall and reinstall, which files do I delete?

[verbal timber]

?tag altdownload

[pearl magnet]

Alt Download

Use our alt download that has the game already installed for you without needing to run the installer. These files 100% work. No need to transfer files/saves to this at all. If these files are still giving you issues, the issue is on your end, not the game files: ➡️ More Info

[verbal timber]

yes

anything that isn't your saves and is associated with the game

[lilac lily]

okay, got it

[sick gust]

should I delete anything this time?

[drifting comet]

Ah, oki! Thanks for the info!

[verbal timber]

no, keep your existing folder, this will be a new one

[balmy vector]

I just downloaded the android version but it says version 6.5.1 on the home screen instead of 6.6. is this correct?

[verbal timber]

see above

android hasn't been updated

later tonight or tomorrow

[balmy vector]

Ah ok ty

[verbal timber]

grab those files, extract it, run your save and see if you catching necrozma yields an error

if it doesn't please let me know

[sick gust]

will do

[verbal timber]

just be aware, those files will give you v6.5.1

or should at any rate

[sick gust]

yeah, understood

[sturdy stream]

Thank you

[short sluice]

Triple fusions won’t let me view sprites and the show a kanto starter and ? As the box sprite

I’ve cleared sprite cache

[pearl magnet]

No tag triplealts found.

[verbal timber]

the box sprite is supposed to be like that

they lack a custom party/box sprite

as for the battle sprite, if that is borked and you have download data turned on, you hit the cap

give it time

should resolve itself

should being the keyword

[sick gust]

caught Necrozma, no crash

[verbal timber]

ok

[lime prawn]

😦

[verbal timber]

fun

[sick gust]

should I just continue 6.5.1 file then?

[verbal timber]

delete the pif launcher folder, download lightweight

[sick gust]

or try to rerun it on the 6.6 and see what happens

[lime prawn]

Understood

[verbal timber]

try swapping back, but keep the alt download as a just in case

[lime prawn]

Will that affcet my save per chance?

[sick gust]

okie dokie

[verbal timber]

saves aren't tied to your game folder

[lime prawn]

Perfect! Thank youuuuu!

[verbal timber]

@rigid silo got a big one for the boss man

[lime prawn]

Gotta say

Fastest support ever lmaoo

[verbal timber]

this is the second time today we've had that crash

[verbal timber]

it is busy today thanks to the update

[sick gust]

Alright relaunched from the 6.6 save, Necrozma is in my PC without issue w/ Ultra Necrozma sprite and item

[verbal timber]

[sick gust]

I'm gonna withdraw and try battling to be extra sure it's fixed

but thanks for the help

[verbal timber]

np

make sure to save

that way you're not forced to recapture him again

[sick gust]

already did

[frail tusk]

what option do i pick when talking to him?

[sick gust]

okay, battled with it and KO'd a wild mon

no crash

[verbal timber]

fix game

[frail tusk]

thanks, imma try that

so those tickets are just plain gone?

[verbal timber]

more than likely yes

since it is a bug

[frail tusk]

bummer

[sick gust]

fused with it, no issues

[verbal timber]

you can always buy more tickets with pokedollars [the second teller at that counter will sell them, but they ain't cheap]

if that fixes it, let me know; if it doesn't the same [whether you get the same error or a new one]

[lilac lily]

Ok, I uninstalled and reinstalled everything, it's updated, but now all the custom sprites I was using are replaced by the default sprites

[verbal timber]

yeah

the update did that

you can change the sprites

?tag alts

[pearl magnet]

To change a Pokemon's sprite to an alternative one, go to their Pokedex entry (this can be done from their summary screen) and go to the "Sprites" tab. Here you can scroll through the different available sprites.

[verbal timber]

if you are missing many

[lilac lily]

I mean like this, this used to be iron thorns

[lilac lily]

oh, thank you Ill try this

[verbal timber]

it is possible the sprite you were using got removed from the game

[lilac lily]

It is specifically the 6 pokemon on my team, all of the sprites are doing this

[verbal timber]

the update reset all the sprites for some unknown reason

[lilac lily]

Ope, talked to the update man

that fixed it

thank you very much

How to Update to the Latest Version (Windows)

• If you're on or above 6.4.2, double click INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat to update.
• If you're below 6.4.2, you must either reinstall in a NEW folder (since the updater won't work due to bugs) or use the New Launcher to update.
• Reinstalling doesn’t remove or require you to move any Save Files.
• If playing on a Randomized save, make sure to reshuffle after updating. Use ?tag reshuffle if you need help.

no idea

[glass jewel]

That did it! Thank you so much!

[inner schooner]

my game gave me a 'failed to update' message box

[verbal timber]

if using the launcher, don't

it is currently broken for 6.6+

use the lightweight installer

if you are on mac, linux, chromebook or steamdeck...then i dunno

android is not updated as of yet

[gleaming basin]

Is there a way to move the save files over?

[verbal timber]

in what capacity?

like from one pc to another

[gleaming basin]

keep my save files from the previous install on the same pc

[verbal timber]

your saves are not tied to your game folder

[gleaming basin]

ok

[verbal timber]

long as you had v5.1 or higher, your save is compatible

anything lower and we run into some issues

especially if they are from the ancient 4.9.2 version

[gleaming basin]

ok I had the last version before this one

[verbal timber]

then you're good to go

[gleaming basin]

sweet

[verbal timber]

short of manually deleting the saves or wiping your drive

they will endure

[gleaming basin]

ok even if I didnt have it all in the downloads folder?

[verbal timber]

https://tenor.com/view/40k-astartes-bolter-boltgun-dakka-gif-17604583

but yes

?tag save

[pearl magnet]

Your save files and backups are in: C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\InfiniteFusion

• The game folder includes a shortcut to the location above named Savefile you can double click. Each save corresponds to a slot (e.g., Slot A saves as File A.rxdata).
• To transfer, copy the save file to the same location on the new device.
• For non-Windows devices, refer to the workaround guide for your device: [HERE](#tech-support message)

^the above only applies for windows pcs

but you get the idea

and next time, keep it all in downloads to avoid both onedrive [or other cloudsync shenanigans] and permission issues

I have a whole hardrive for games lol

ahhh ok

[verbal timber]

so do i

I don't have a problem, I can stop anytime I want

How to restore to a backup save

This only works if you had Auto Save turned on and using 6.4+

1. Open your game folder
2. Double click SaveFile
3. Double click the folder named backups
4. Double click the folder of the save slot you’re reverting. Ex: File A
5. Rename the most recent file to File A.rxdata (The letter will be different if you’re reverting a different save slot)
6. Copy the newly renamed file and paste it into the previous folder. (This will be the folder you had open after step 2) When asked to replace, click yes.

Note: If you don't feel comfortable overriding the save, you can rename it to a different letter on step 5. Ex: File B.rxdata instead of File A.rxdata

I downloaded from there, saw it was on 5.6.something, updated via the .bat, and now it does the open and immediately close thning

[verbal timber]

^try loading a backup file

[verbal timber]

?tag olddata

[pearl magnet]

The most likely reason your game is opening and closing is due to improperly updated game files. We mention in #downloads to not update ANY files versions 6.4.2 and below.

If you're using the Launcher:

1. Open the settings tab
2. Click "Reset Config"
3. Re-update
   NOTE: The original path that the launcher shows will be your old game folder. That folder should be deleted. The new game folder will be in PIFLauncher1.1.1/GameFiles/InfiniteFusion

If you're not using the Launcher:

Use the Lightweight installer guide to install in a NEW folder ➡️ Click Here⬅️

If you are on a non-Windows device, follow the [guide](#tech-support message) for your device to reinstall.

Reinstalling on Windows does not affect Save Files in any way.

[verbal timber]

there's no way you downloaded from here and got that version

as that version never existed

last version in 5 was 5.3.1.2

[glass jewel]

Hmm then I mustve read it wrong. Ill try again

[verbal timber]

a fresh install will fix it either way

[glass jewel]

correction: 6.5.1

[verbal timber]

odd

try a fresh install

[glass jewel]

Gotcha. Thanks! Sorry for the trouble!

[verbal timber]

the issue you have usually only occurs when you have older files that you tryied to update

no worries

i'm filling in for the porygons while they take a break/are dead

[glass jewel]

Does it mess it up when I copy the old savefile folder back into the fresh install? From the version before this latest 6.6 update

[stable torrent]

Got this when trying to update from 6.5.1 to 6.6

[verbal timber]

nothing wrong here

[vivid skiff]

it keeps saying my game was not updated successfully

[verbal timber]

no need to copy the savefolder

what you copied was a shortcut to where the saves are actually stashed

a fresh install would just give you the same folde rthat shortcuts to the same place

[stable torrent]

The update is failing for some reason.

[verbal timber]

don't use the launcher, it is dead

delete your PIF Launcher folder, fresh install lightweight

[verbal timber]

screenshot the entire thing

post it here

[glass jewel]

oh interesting! I will not do that lol

[verbal timber]

lol

[stable torrent]

RIP launcher

[magic spire]

we gotttt it bois

[magic spire]

i just reinstalled lol

[verbal timber]

see the above

launcher = dead

[vivid skiff]

ah ok

[stable torrent]

You have to reinstall the game vai #downloads

[verbal timber]

delete your PIF Launcher folder, download lightweight

[vivid skiff]

i thought i did

[verbal timber]

nope

[vivid skiff]

ohhh

ok

[verbal timber]

that is the launcher

[magic spire]

oooh well i see where i was having issues then haha glad i did lightweight this time

[verbal timber]

which at current is borked hard with v6.6+

[stable torrent]

Launcher was alive just a few days ago.

😦

[verbal timber]

it broke today with the update

[stable torrent]

Forever?

[verbal timber]

yes

the dev behind it left discord entirely for personal reasons, and only he had the code for it

[stable torrent]

Goodbye Launcher and Launcher dev.

Will that change how sprite packs are downloaded?

[verbal timber]

nope

you don't even need to download the packs unless you play offline

[green monolith]

does anyone know if i can edit my savefiles on linux

[verbal timber]

?tag cheating

[pearl magnet]

Per Rules 23 and 24 in #rules, we will NOT assist with ANY code modifications or cheats. Modifying game files in any way VOIDS all tech and game support from us.

Attempting to edit code to enable debug will not work. Debug is only obtainable as an in-game reward for catching all 501 Base Pokémon.

The ONLY fix for your error is to delete your game folder and reinstall using the files linked in #downloads . Reinstalling will not affect your save files.

ok its working now

[magic spire]

ohh man my sprites are cookeddd

[verbal timber]

#announcements message

^see if that helps

the update reset all the sprites to the autogen stuff

[glass jewel]

Eyy youve fixed it! Thanks so much!

[magic spire]

alright onnnn my way

we backkk

[drowsy anchor]

To perform a fresh install, do I just delete the previous folder entirely before i attempt to reinstall?

[magic spire]

thats what i did

[trim vector]

My apologies, I may have missed it, though I tried to read through everything, have the android files been updated yet? Just curious as I am a literal country away from my PC and got excited about the news 🙂

[frozen grove]

-# Hello

[boreal monolith]

hi, just wondering whether deleting the launcher is still the best option to fix the failed update issue?

[loud sigil]

launcher is completely broken delete it

its most likely going to be scrapped it

as the person who made it is gone and it can no longer be upkept

[boreal monolith]

thankyou, getting the lightweight now

[frozen grove]

Workaround download links are temporarily down. Will make an announcement here when they're back up.

[gaunt steppe]

when i load my save into the new version i just get a black screen in the world, i can open menu and it shows, music ect. battle screen shows. just the map world, anyway to fix this?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @gaunt steppe! Black screen in this game is the loading screen. The duration of the black screen depends on YOUR computer and YOUR internet.

• If you get the message below while opening the game, this means to stop clicking/pressing buttons on the screen as it is loading.
• If you get the message while in game, this means your computer is struggling.

[frozen grove]

What version of Windows are you using?

[gaunt steppe]

the same as yesterday Windows 11 24H2, worked yesterday but when i downloaded new version with lite installer i load my save i see the screen and then fades to black. everything else works i just can't see where i am going lol.

i ran into a trainer and it showed the battle ect

if it matters where i am in the game, in the rainy part of route 25

[frozen grove]

Try running "InfiniteFusion-performance" instead of "InfiniteFusion"

[verbal timber]

if that includes the altdownload, leave that one, or keep the current 6.5.1 as a backup

[frozen grove]

It does, they're the same files

[verbal timber]

there's a bug involving necrozma on the current version that is gamebreaking

and so far the only fix has been a revert to older files

[frozen grove]

Mediafire only allows 10 GB. Unless I want to pay them, I can't keep files as backups on there

[verbal timber]

shit

uh

we need the 6.5.1 download in some capacity until frog can fix the Necrozma glitch

[frozen grove]

Gimme the rundown on the Necrozma bug so I can forward it to frog

He doesn't even know about it right now

[verbal timber]

I poked ymir about it awhile ago

[verbal timber]

@frozen grove

there ya go, had it happen 2 times today

[verbal timber]

other instance of it

[frozen grove]

Yea, Ymir was already offline so he never saw it

[verbal timber]

ah

[frozen grove]

I forwarded it to frog.

[verbal timber]

but yeah, it only seems to happen with 6.6, using an older version worked fine [at least for Deli since they were nice enough to confirm it]

[frozen grove]

The issue with having people revert back when their save was already on 6.6 is that it could lead to bag corruption if frog added new items

Outfits likely cause it too and I know he added more of those

[verbal timber]

i know, but that was all i could think of at the time to fix it

[frozen grove]

Yee, I get it

For now, until frog responds, necrozma will just need to be avoided

[verbal timber]

👍

[gaunt steppe]

here is what happens to my game. i tried both performance and normal exe and sound is playing i just didn't record the sound

[frozen grove]

If none of that works, then check your graphic drivers. If that still doesn't work, then for some reason your device can't run the game correctly anymore

[gaunt steppe]

incorrect, i just started a new game it runs fine. tis the save file

but losing saves sucks

[frozen grove]

[harsh epoch]

smol thing that isn't a tech issue but visibility just in case it matters
the full changelog in pastebin does not include that the debug menu was changed to give options to choose specific shiny for head and/or body, instead of having to make the base shiny then fuse.
https://i.imgur.com/OIOkVGZ.png

but it does include the debug options for reaching level caps

-# unless im dumb and misremembering but im pretty sure it was just "make shiny" before

[frozen grove]

Yea, it was. I haven't fully read the changelog yet, ngl

Iirc, he mentioned it to us porygons prior tho

[harsh epoch]

very good change....

sorry i mistyped that

very good change

[gaunt steppe]

i am guessing bugged saves can't be fixed?

[harsh epoch]

cannot

would have to load a backup if its not broken back then

but if a save is already corrupted for w/e reason

[gaunt steppe]

it's not corrupted per say

just has black screen glitch

it works just map turns black everything else works

[quasi abyss]

Cowect

[sacred forge]

I seem to still not be able to launch the game after updating. Playing on steamdeck

Just noticed that the mediafire download page for steamdeck is also down. Does that mean that the new version is being uploaded soon?

[lilac lily]

Idunno what this means, but it shuts off the game when I enter the orphanage in Lavender Town

[rough condor]

so I forgot here but what is the diffrence between the .exe and the performance.exe?

[kindred garden]

I tried to upgrade the game, It went to 100% but the error windows poped up (I don't see any error in the errorlog), now the game close as soon as I click on Play

[rough condor]

the launcher does not work Currently with the updates see the downloads tab explains you have to redownload and install etc

[maiden bramble]

does android not have 6.6 yet?

[vapid coyote]

bruh

[rough condor]

am I wrong? if so ill delete the comment but it says that in the top of the downloads section the launcher isnt currently supported and have to do through the light version and etc

[vapid coyote]

no no you're right no worries, I'm just reacting to it bc I had the same issue as Dess

[rough condor]

OOh ok lol

xD thought I had messed up for a sec and was double checking lol

[maiden bramble]

meanwhile i am on android and still getting v6.5.1 from the download files

[quasi abyss]

android is not updated.

[maiden bramble]

my way of having to dosnload is different because i have to redownload the game to updatw

[maiden bramble]

ah ok

[quasi abyss]

windows updates automatically -- the workarounds need a bit

[kindred garden]

Ok thanks, I'm downloading it again then.

[maiden bramble]

i figured as much

[gaunt steppe]

update: i managed to fix my save with the black screen. the issue was causing by the rain affect or something in route 25. i blinded my way backwards and it fixed the issue. if anyone else has this issue this is how to fix it

[tawdry nexus]

Yeah the same issue had been happening to me on version 6.6. It may be something wrong with the scripts for that house in general, because that error doesn't pop up on 6.5.1

Which sucks because you NEED to be able to access that house to start and finish the Lunar Feather questline to obtain Cresselia and Darkrai.

[quasi abyss]

gonna investigate & report to the dev, one moment

[lilac lily]

If it means anything, I accidentally killed Darkrai and reset to before I did the quest by mistake

[quasi abyss]

i am able to enter the orphanage just fine

[lilac lily]

It probably doesnt if you have that problem too

[quasi abyss]

im gonna see on a fresh file

yeah. fresh file, i'm able to enter

getting the same actually but only certain sprites

it's completely blank

[stuck trout]

same

hey there just downloaded the game, how do i get it to use my gamepad? im on a 406v if that makes a difference

[foggy lodge]

I ran this in my game folder

oop maybe it's not good to do that

i dunnooo

[humble marsh]

So I'm on a new PC and I tried downloading the game, but every time I try to run it, it only plays the audio and not the visuals.

And trying to shut the window down never works, I keep having to use task manager.

[stuck trout]

Tried reinstalling the launcher, it gives this error when I click install inside the launcher. However, this does not show up in the errorlog.txt.
I also got this error when I first tried to update to the new version as well. I didn't get the full text in this since the command prompt window is only open for less than a second, this was the best screenshot I could get. I'm no expert, but this feels like an issue with git

[humble marsh]

Trying to update the game just gave me this:

[drowsy anchor]

Apparently the missing sprites also applies to the fusion show. Unfortunately.

[brisk bough]

Trying to wondertrade and get this error every time and then a crash

This also happened when setting level

nvm yall im just gonna reinstall

i don't think it'll fix it

ive seen some people here do that and it didn't work

if I play without updating the game will it do anything to my save file?

tried trading another pokemon, it worked fine, tried again with the same one from the screenshot of the error and it still crashes

iiiii don't really think so but make a copy of it just to be safe

I installed the new "lightweight launcher"

and it worked

?tag launcher

[pearl magnet]

For this newest version of Pokémon Infinite Fusion, The launcher will not work right away. It is recommended to use the lightweight installer to reinstall fresh

HOWEVER, there is a workaround fix. In the launcher, click the “Game Files” button, find the “InfiniteFusion.exe” file, and rename it to “game.exe” Video

[loud sigil]

if clearing cache is already done you just need to wait for the sprites to redownload with download data on which can take a bit

[rigid moss]

alright, thank you soo much!

[storm aspen]

how do i know if data is being downloaded/done?

[loud sigil]

it downloads as you play so as you encounter/battle/fuse you should see new fusions and such popping up (most of the time you can also tell if youve hit the cap as you’ll start seeing more autogens since it cant fetch new sprites)

?tag importsp

[pearl magnet]

To successfully import your own custom sprite, please follow these steps:

Sprite Requirements:

1. Format: The sprite must be in .png format.
2. Naming Convention: Name your sprite according to the game's dex numbering. For example, a fusion of Aegislash and Goodra should be named 329.446.png.

Importing Your Sprite:

1. Ensure your sprite meets the criteria above.
2. Open your game folder and navigate to Graphics/CustomBattlers/Sprites to import.
3. Paste your sprite into this folder.

In-Game Instructions:

1. Launch the game.
2. The game will automatically detect the new sprites.
3. If you have an existing sprite that you're replacing, select the option "Replace All the old sprites with the new ones" when prompted.

Once completed, you can view your custom sprite in-game from the Pokedex's Sprite tab.
