I got this when I tried to download the latest update
I assume this has been asked a million times but does reinstalling the game (to update) wipe your save files?
Save files aren't stored in the game folder, so no.
Is there version 6.6.1 for android? If so, send me the download link
thought so just wanted to make sure
ver 6.6.1 work?
Does this imply that dont update to 6.6.0 if your version is below it?
guys i was wondering are you supposed to download the sprites? cause i loaded the game and no sprites were loading not even normal unfused ones (just downloaded it)
I just reinstalled my game folder and I can start the game and it works fine but a lot of my fusions are now missing their sprites and even a lot of baseform pokemon are missing their sprites. How do I solve this?
Same
Supposedly you're supposed to be able to clear the sprite cache and they'll just download as you play but I cleared my cache and played for hours and still haven't had any sprites download.
I can try to clear the cache but I am also scared of remoivng all sprites and not having any of them download again
I don't blame you because that's pretty much what happened to me.
Is 6.6.1 out for Android??
Did you make sure download data was on?
Well I cleared the cache and it seems to have not worked that well some pokemon have their sprites some were missing their sprites and some fusions work but some dont work anymore.
I did. Still didn't work.
how to download ver 6.6.0?
Anyone have any idea what to do, I am out
6.6.1 is latest
6.6.0 is severely bugged
Can you give more detail
It does seem like many people have had issues with the new update so they might do a fix of some sort
idk what i do
how do you clear the sprite cache?
I love how my game tells me to update but the update isn't even out for my platform
yo go to the main in the suit in any pokemon center and go to other options to then clear cache
?tag clearcache
No tag clearcache found.
Dang it
Because the update checker doesn’t differentiate between OS. Android is just a workaround, the game was only ever developed for windows
thank you
?tag resetcache
For missing sprites on the 6.6 update, talk to the help man in any Pokémon center and navigate to Advanced Options -> Other -> Reset -> Clear Sprite Cache. Video
is hackmdio down?
did you guys having a 504 time out error accessing to hackmd chromebook guide ?
ho
guess i've got my response
Yea, sites down rn
luck runs out those last days 
Anyone know when it might be back up?
i cant update the game, it says im missing the file (updater .bat)
Hey @mild ivy!
How to Update to the Latest Version (Windows)
- If you're on or above 6.4.2, double click
INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.batto 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 reshuffleif you need help.
For Non-Windows devices (Android, Mac, Steamdeck, Linux, Chromebook): Check our extended guides post
When I click the "Option 1. Lightweight Installer" link in downloads, it opens up browser to a "504 Gateway Time-out"
The website is down
Didn't look before typing. Noticed afterwards. xD
They’re working on fixing it now.
lol just scrolled up nvm
the custom sprites for pokemon in my team are messed up, but all the fusions in my pc are fine
The hotel quests in Fuchsia City doesn't get marked as complete. I get the rewards from the quest givers, but they're still in my active quests log and the scientist won't count them for my reward. Quests in other cities work fine. I've updated the game, but that didn't help. Asking a Help Man to fix the game didn't fix it either. What can I do?
Yeah I just had that issue aswell, if you go to the Help Man in the pokemon centre, you can go to other options and under reset options, there should be a Clear Sprite Cache button that you can press. It fixed my sprites so maybe give it a go :)
the link for the downlaod don't work anymore ?
it doesnt for me too 😢
I see
I have that same problem 😦
all my sprites are gone like not even the non custom sprites its just nothing ad i have updated the game using INSTALL_OR_UPDATE
They’re working on a fix right now, please be patient

If you're encountering invisible sprites
**The game comes with all sprites preinstalled, up until the February 2025 Pack.
The remaining packs will be downloaded as you play, as long as you have "Download Data" turned on and your device is connected to wifi. You do not need to do anything for them.
Keep in mind, the auto download does not have infinite speed or capacity and will not trigger if you are not actively encountering new sprites (ex; battling, checking the Pokedex, etc.).
After downloading X amount of sprites per time unit Y, it will be paused for a bit. We cannot adjust this limit and there is nothing you can do as the player to skip it or make it go faster.
Attempting to view sprites that have not been downloaded through this feature yet will show them as invisible.
The first time you encounter a base Pokemon, it will select a random one of all sprites, if it is a new one that hasn't been downloaded yet, it will show as invisible.
The same goes for fusions but with a little more nuance. To keep it simple, think of it the same.
Again, nothing wrong with your game. You just hit a download cap.
Note: Updating your game resets all your auto-downloaded sprites. do not attempt to "fix" this with updating. It will just make everything start from the beginning.
If you would like to manually import the latest sprite packs, further instructions can be found HERE
my game wont open after updating, i get a black screen that inmediately closes again
?tag olddata
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 below 6.6.0.
If you're using the Launcher:
- Reinstall version 1.1.2 of the launcher from #downloads
- Open the settings tab
- Click "Reset Config"
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 inPIFLauncher(#.#.#)/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.
I tried to download the game, but opening the download link says error 504 Gateway Time out
Ah, sites still down
oh... thanks. I think we must wait :>
All we can do 
The sprites are still not showing up, I'm getting those question marks for majority of the sprites. Is that going to be part of the general fix update coming, or am I going to have to redownload the whole game?

Is it normal for images of in game locations to be in my gallery

I'm getting a bad gateway and then a 503 service temporarily unavailable when I try to update via the Mac whiskey link, is that just me or...?

@upbeat sage
Sorry for ping
:((
Known bug
reupdate
it may still be busted
I did it 4 times
Oh, they started working after I preinstalled them 2 times
I've done that, didn't work
I also tried downloding the full sprite pack and reinstalling that and that didn't work either. The game even said it was parsing the files next time I opened it and they still don't load
ive got no sprites
The Android guide link doesnt work, can i get help
bow do i fix sprites
i think wait for the fix because thats what im doing
you mean for the sprites?
Theres a new update to the game, do I have to re download the whole file or is there a way to autoupdate it trough already downloaded file?
yes because i can play i just cant see the sprites
yea clearing the sprites cache didnt work
you can just update with the file
when you download from the launcher the game version is 6.6.1 this is normal
for me its just the porformance app that is spritless
The one that says Install or Update?
yep!
Thanks, I thought as much just wanted to be safe
is there a mod that adds more stuff like story, items, mechanics, etc
I’m updating my game and got a pop up that says my current version is 6.6.1 but the latest is 6.6.0, anybody know what that means?
I tried downloading the game again after a long time but the links provided in the "Download" section are giving me time out errors. Is this a problem on my end? If it is, anyone knows what to do?
Yeah me too
if i delete infinite fusion and do a clean install does it save my save files or does it delete them
servers are down
do we have any idea when they might be back up? or is it just a random down on the server
its saved for me but i cant give a firm yes or no
im not sure tbh\
ahh okay, thank you for letting me know!
ok thank you
Could someone explain what super splicers do?
Like regular splicers but better, use the best IVs and give extra levels
But the fusions stay the same?
Yes
Alright thanks
As i tried to update it, the game gave an error saying i was in version 6.6.1, as the latest version was 6.6.0. Now the game refuse to launch, and relaunch the update leads to the same result.

What's your updater version?
is launcher useable after 6.6.0?
Yeah, the new launcher is
so reinstall it and it works?
It'll throw an error when you use it but you can still open the game, it just wasn't updated for version 6.6.1
If your launcher version is 1.1.2 it will work

btw is there a way to change genders in the game?
I want to evolve my Kirlia into Gallade but it seems the gender changed when I unfused from a previous fusion
Gender evos do not exist anymore
So you will be able to evolve your kirlia into gallade
does anyone know how I can fix this?
when using the lightweight, do i need to add the custom sprites?
I'm having trouble with Sprites after the update. I think its only with unfused mons. I have done the clear sprite cashe a few times now and no fix
No, it still gets downloaded automatically 😄
ty
WHAT HELL IS THIS???
also the file for the launcher when you extracted it says 1.1.0
so what does one do if they're launcher is 1.1.1
do I have to reinstall the launcher?
2nd time this month 💔
anyone able to help with this?
try reapplying the sprites in pokedex
they are all question marks
have you tried to reapply the sprites tho?
i figured when i go to do that and they are all empty that was the answer
I haven't played this game in a year so what is happening
they do seem the just come back after that so ty
Have you updated from an old version?
Yes
also the autosprites replace the current equiped sprites regardless after updating
Then you probably need to reinstall
I downloaded the latest one
This is covered on the guide
I'm on my android tablet but the link isn't working to download. Does it not work for tablets?
It can
also whats added by 6.6.1 to be worth updating? seems much more buggy to be worth it currently
Hi, i just updated to 6.1.1 but all of my fused sprites don't seem to work, they give the default ones or a blank or question marks
?tag resetcache
For missing sprites on the 6.6 update, talk to the help man in any Pokémon center and navigate to Advanced Options -> Other -> Reset -> Clear Sprite Cache. Video
6.6.1 actually fixes a lot of the bugs introduced in 6.6.0
where do i put this?
So if you're on 6.5 you can wait, but if you're already on 6.6 you might as well update
No where just read the bot message
oh, ok thanks
And do that
it made all my sprites blank now, is this normal
so now that the game is on 6.6.1 i can uninstall 6.6.0?
you go to dex and reapply the sprites
how do i reapply it
alternative is the 4th tab when looking in summary and it bring the dex page up
You installed it in a separate folder?
new installation fully with installer
If it's in a new folder I think you can just delete the old one
Its still blank, and the info about it is now missing
odd
Yes, you can delete the old one. Although for 6.6.0 -> 6.6.1 you don’t need to do a full reinstall 
(Assuming 6.6.0 was opening)
is there a way to redownload the sprites or something
if i reinstall the game and delete the old folder will i lose my saves?
Did you reset the cache with the help man?
i did a lightweight install for 6.6.0 so i decided to install the launcher again
yes

what should i do i cant save and my save other savefiles are lost
?tag corrupted
The error you are having is due to a corrupted save in your save folder conflicting with your current save.
Note: Ensure you know which save file is corrupted before continuing. You can see the save slot on the save selection screen.
- Open your game folder
- Double click SaveFile
- Delete the save file causing issues.
- If you don't know which it is, you can remove the save 1 by 1 from this folder until you find it
If you want to revert your save to a backup, use ?tag backups for more info.
How to restore to a backup save
This only works if you had Auto Save turned on and using 6.4+
- Open your game folder
- Double click
SaveFile - Double click the folder named
backups - Double click the folder of the save slot you’re reverting. Ex:
File A - Rename the most recent file to
File A.rxdata(The letter will be different if you’re reverting a different save slot) - 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

hey sorry to be a pain but I'm encountering an exception that's causing consistent crashes in Lavender Town. should i ask in this thread or a different one?
it wont allow me to open save files

Asked the wrong chat so im gunna ask here also
Trying to change my key-binds for my xbox controller (cuz its just easier playing with controller) and it won't allow me to bind "A B X Y" keys, like it just doesn't recognize them when I try to rebind with the F1 key in-game, is there a way to rebind them else-where or a config file I could even try to change?
how do i download the sprites localy?
I’m on 6.6.0 right now, on a Mac using Whiskey. Last time I ran the updater I had to reinstall the game completely and lost my save data cus it wouldn’t run. If I run the updater this time to get 6.6.1, will I have the same result?
Will 6.6.1 fix the bug of no bgm for towns?

Sorry but I tried updating my version (on Android) but it keeps coming up as the 6.5.1 version? I've directly downloaded it from the link provided to Android users here and deleted all other versions on my phone... Is anyone else having this problem? Thank you.
when updating is it supposed to say something about system 32?
hi! :) i tried updating my game and it's not working 😭
i've tried using the current launcher, and also downloading the most recent one from #downloads so i'm not sure what to do
Do you have the logs of what it posted?
Im not sure if the android version has been updated to 6.6 yet
Are you running it from inside 7zip itself?
it made a pop up with bits of code i just read the top of the box and saw system 32 so i closed it
Weird, lightweight launcher should reference where you're running it from
could i need to reinstall the launcher if the version i have is too old?
Yeah you could try to delete the old launcher then reinstall
Where did you download from?
I'm an idiot
It says it's not available... Omg... Bruh
I'm sorry
whenever i hit launch, the game opens for about a second and then quickly closes again. Could it because it tried and failed to update, with error message "The game was not updated successfully. Your current version is: 6.6.1 but the latest version is 6.6.0"

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 below 6.6.0.

- Open the settings tab
- Click "Reset Config"
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 inPIFLauncher(#.#.#)/GameFiles/InfiniteFusion

Onedrive causes many issues in and out of the game. If you see a status column in your game folder or your path has onedrive, that means your game folder is synching to OneDrive and will cause many issues.

Windows. Link was broken earlier today when I tried downloading
the only folder that is marked as shallow doesn't have the .lock at the end. Does that matter? Or should i just delete the on dignified as shallow?
that entire folder is touched by onedrive
I recommended rereading step 1 in the message you tagged and moving the game
that too
Yea, you gotta do step 1 before doing step 2 otherwise the same thing will happen 
i did move it to my downloads location though? sorry for the ignorance not really my forte
you made it a shortcut to the folder
You might need to completely re-extract because OneDrive is dumb
at that point should i just delete and redownload?
How do I report a bug?
When I try to create a post in bug-reports it tells me that I don't have the perms

appreciate it
That doesn't answer why I don't have perms

Because we got too many duplicate reports or reports that didn’t follow guidelines because people wouldn’t read them
So for creating new reports, it’s locked to staff and tech support
Low effort reports that say “launcher don’t work” with zero other information is a waste of our time as volunteers.
And we would get around a dozen a week like that

I followed the directions to download the update on steamdeck but now the game closes as soon as I open it. I’m not sure what went wrong but any advice would be appreciated.
Ooooh, I see
?tag olddata
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 below 6.6.0.
If you're using the Launcher:
- Reinstall version 1.1.2 of the launcher from #downloads
- Open the settings tab
- Click "Reset Config"
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 inPIFLauncher(#.#.#)/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.
Make sure you look at the steamdeck guide to properly reinstall and not lose your files
Updating won't alter saves?
I followed the steamdeck guide.
You need to reinstall fresh, not update
Mind sending a screenshot of your game folder and the properties tab in steam (the target path)
I read it Somewhere that it could be if from a website and I don't remember if I downloaded it via web or this discord (btw thanks a lot for your help)
after clearing the sprites cache now there are no sprites showing - just blank white
whenever i launch the game and after it says press any button and i do the screen turns to black for 15+ seconds, is there anyway to make it load faster? im on version 6.6.1 i think
see if they'll download over time

Hi, just installed the newest update on Mac using Wine, now when I try to launch the game it just shows a black screen for a few seconds then closes?
Hey @rich gale! Black screen in this game is the loading screen. The duration of the black screen depends on YOUR computer and YOUR internet.

hello guys, i imagine i'm not the first to ask about this, and sorry if it has been asked prevuoisly but it doesn't show me the previous msgs here idk why:
are there some reasons for the sprites going missing? am i missing something?
help?
oh, so im good?
so I deleted the folder containing the game and am currently installing it rn did i do it right?
if you followed the guide, yep
koolio
Everytime I complete the long night part 4 quest this happens
necrozma quest been buggy
idk if the same workaround applies since you are at the end of the quest
gotta wait for a tech person
ok ty
It should’ve been fixed, update your game
It was that, tysm
Can anyone help? Cannot open the game after updating on Mac the launcher tries to open then immediately closes
i cant update pif i deleted everything now i just need the recent instaler
You get updated launcher options from #downloads
is there a FAQ section about controllers? I have a controller that works for my PC but the A button is bound to B on the controller and idk where to locate the settings to change that
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)

so I keep having this issue. I even completely deleted everything and reinstalled and I'm still getting this. I did replace the AppFiles folder but that didn't seem to do anything

delete all your PIF Launcher files and get a fresh install

i mean just delete the zip and the launcher folder itself
So quick question. All the customer sprites in my game are gone. What do? 🥺

For missing sprites on the 6.6 update, talk to the help man in any Pokémon center and navigate to Advanced Options -> Other -> Reset -> Clear Sprite Cache. Video
that's what I did
I seem to still have the issue though so I must have missed something
the only thing I kept a copy of was the save file folder. Maybe that's the issue?
oh really?
ahhh I didn't look in there
short of you manually deleting those, overwrighting them, or wiping your drive, they should endure [exceptions may apply in the event of shenanigans]
lol there's often shenanigans when it comes to computers
https://hackmd.io/@PIF-Tech/LauncherGuide this is still where I download the launcher yea?
I tried installing the game on chromebook but when i try to open it, it give me this 'Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found. I tried to reinstall it do i need to delete the sip file after i unpacked it
its been over 6 hours i resetted the sprite cache and waited for the sprites to load or download overtime like told there still not there.
I ran into the same problem on my Chromebook. Two things to check:
- is the command you used wine InfiniteFusion.exe?
- Is there another folder layer between your Linux files category and the game folder itself?
you need to be playing the game
and have download data on
while using the mons with missing/? sprites
Same thing here. I did a fresh install, reset the sprite cache, and played for 4 hours; still no sprites. I've given up at this point and am just hoping for a hotfix.

If you're encountering invisible sprites
**The game comes with all sprites preinstalled, up until the February 2025 Pack.
The remaining packs will be downloaded as you play, as long as you have "Download Data" turned on and your device is connected to wifi. You do not need to do anything for them.
Keep in mind, the auto download does not have infinite speed or capacity and will not trigger if you are not actively encountering new sprites (ex; battling, checking the Pokedex, etc.).
After downloading X amount of sprites per time unit Y, it will be paused for a bit. We cannot adjust this limit and there is nothing you can do as the player to skip it or make it go faster.
Attempting to view sprites that have not been downloaded through this feature yet will show them as invisible.
The first time you encounter a base Pokemon, it will select a random one of all sprites, if it is a new one that hasn't been downloaded yet, it will show as invisible.
The same goes for fusions but with a little more nuance. To keep it simple, think of it the same.
Again, nothing wrong with your game. You just hit a download cap.
Note: Updating your game resets all your auto-downloaded sprites. do not attempt to "fix" this with updating. It will just make everything start from the beginning.
If you would like to manually import the latest sprite packs, further instructions can be found HERE
you prob hit the download cap
I didn't get a single sprite. How could I hit the cap?
I used the command cd infinite fusion and then I used wine Game.exe and no there’s not another folder just a folder called infinite fusion
you have download data turned on?
I do and did the whole time.
The game exe itself was renamed with the newest release, wine Game.exe won’t work anymore, you have to address it as wine InfiniteFusion.exe
not sure what to tell you then, you had to have been getting some sprites
there is a game.exe
Frog added one in as a temp fix for the launcher to work correctly
What folder do sprites download to? I can check if anything is there.
local_sprites
and then their respective indexed folders
Really? The wine game.exe command didn’t work when I tried to boot up the game, just InfiniteFusion.exe. Worth a try anyways.
Still the same problem shows up
double check to make sure you don't have an infinite fusion folder inside another infinite fusion folder
Might have to update your version of wine or update your Chromebook software. If those don’t work, sometimes just rebooting the Chromebook can help. I’ve found it can be temperamental.
or just not work at all
I don't have anything in either the BaseSprites or indexed folders other than gitkeep files.
Chromebook has the least player count of all the installs for a reason
There is another folder infinite fusion folder in the infinite fusion folder what should I do
there is your issue
Move your infinitefusion game folder that actually has the game files into your Linux folder, and then delete the extra folder.
After that, try wine Game.exe or wine InfiniteFusion.exe again. Removing that extra folder should solve the problem. I had the same thing happen to me.
Look at me, running tech support /j
I don't have anything in either the BaseSprites or indexed folders other than gitkeep files. And that's after playing for 4+ hours.
ok, you may need to mini reset your sprite pull
okay now for some reason its saying that the file dosent exist anymore
while in a save, go into your options and turn download data off
then back out off the menus, sit around for a bit and go back in and turn it on again
because it is looking for the old path
which doesn't exist
since you moved it
I think you need to do it from scratch and this time make sure you only have 1 infinite fusion folder
okay
Okay. I'll give that a try tomorrow. Hopefully that helps. Thanks!
If you give me a little while, I can show you how the game file should look in your files.
Just need to boot up my own Chromebook first
sounds good
When I try to extract the launcher file it extracts but then the folder it extracts is empty?
when i try to update my game it says the game was not updated successfully your current version is: 6.6.1 but the latest version is: 6.6.0
use errorlog.txt on ur desktop or progrees window to report to tech-suppor in discord
How would i fix this
I fixed the problem with downloading the update on steamdeck. The guide says you can just replace the folder you have with the new one but it only worked if I deleted everything first and then extracted the new file.
If your launcher is on 1.1.2 ignore it
my launcher is 1.1.1 beta
am i supposed to update it
?
Reinstall fresh from #downloads
okie
is my save bugged? the hats are unlocking but the outfits arent
Not all hats have an outfit made
ohhh okay
The files should go Linux files > infinite fusion folder > game data with no other folders in between
and then you pray it works
How do I fix this?

Hi! I've done the fresh install but I'm still getting the same issue and I'm not sure how else to fix it
my current launcher is also the 1.1.0
I tried redownloading it but it still ends up as two folders
You need to reinstall the launcher. Launcher should be 1.1.2
I downloaded the 1.1.2 launcher, but once I extract the files, it gives me 1.1.0
Yea, that’s fine. Mega didn’t change the folder name 
So what’s happening when you try and launch the game?
ahhh understandable, MEGA is a quirky one, I got it to work, thanks
I deleted all the older files then extracted the zip again
-# oh my bad
I do not have shallow.lock? I have index.lock but not shallow
This seems to have fixed the issue. My local_sprites subfolders are still empty but the spritesheets subfolders seem to be pulling in data. I still seem to be missing a lot of custom sprites from my team but I assume those will continue to pull in as I play and I may have just hit the cap for the time being. Thanks for helping!
Hello, I have a question regarding this message after updating the game version from launcher v1.1.2
Ignore it, youre fine
thank you
In ref to this i dont have the shallow . Lock, is there something else i should look for?
I require assistance in installing the launcher
Ngl i interrupted an update install because it was prompting me abt stuff that shouldve just gone thru but this was a mistake
After I extract the zip file it just gives me a empty PIFLauncher1.1.0 folder what can I do about this?
He gave you the wrong tag but you should remove the folder from OneDrive regardless
OneDrive is likely the cause of whatever made you have to close out of it to begin with
?tag giterror
Git has locked your game folder from installing/updating. To fix:
- Open your game folder.
- Enable the setting to view hidden files. Screenshot below shows how to see that.
- Open the .git folder you will see in your folder now
- Delete the file named
shallow.lock - Update Again by double clicking on

Gotcha, doing the process of shooting onedrive with a gun and obliterating the copy files and seeing if that makes it fix
After I extract the zip file it just gives me a empty PIFLauncher1.1.0 folder what can I do about this?
If there’s nothing in the folder something might’ve gone wrong with extracting, try deleting it and reextracting. If that doesn’t work, reinstall the launcher and she’s if something went wrong with downloading initially
Go in game and reset sprite cache
?tag resetcache
For missing sprites on the 6.6 update, talk to the help man in any Pokémon center and navigate to Advanced Options -> Other -> Reset -> Clear Sprite Cache. Video
to uninstall the launcher do you delete the PIFLauncher1.1.0 folder or just the launcher application
Hi I’m having a problem with the PIF launcher like the person from earlier. But, it won’t allow me to open the game from the launcher or the files directly
Friend's Poke-radar is only bringing these images up, despite the pokemon on the route not being fusions. Is this fixed by a Cache reset or something more elaborate?
I did it, but it didnt work, i dont have to download something?
Or there i a download with the sprites included?
Copy and paste the actual infinitefusion game folder into your Linux files. Once it’s there, delete the extra folder it was in.
That way, you don’t delete the game along with the extra folder.
When I did that it showed that the file dosent exist anymore even tho I just took it out of the extra folder
Odd, because as long as it looks like my Linux folder does in the screenshot, it should work.
Delete the whole folder
What version is your launcher?
<@&306953740651462656>
MR BEAST LMAO
I know tried it mutiple time but it keep saying the same about how it couldn’t find the file anymore even tho it’s named the same
So, how do i download the sprites? all the single pokemon and the custome are nowhere
To be clear, after deleting the extra folder, did you try wine InfiniteFusion.exe instead of wine Game.exe?
If you tried both and your files match mine without it working, there’s not much I can do.
Tried killing onedrive stuff and welp im still getting that thing where it repeatedly makes me skip deleting individual sprites
Which causes a index.lock file to spawn
Do i just delete the sprites myself and then run this again? Or just follow it down? Until things go through?
yup i tried them both
when i try to use the links in #downloads none of them work, is there something I'm missing
what do you mean by it doesn't work
be more specific
you are clicking either of these options right?
I got it to work nvm thank you for helping
why won't the installer install modern version of the game
Modern was renamed to Remix mode
remix (and other modes) are unlocked on your 2nd save
so make a save, go back to title screen, start another new game
and the options should come out
Sorry for the late reply, it’s the PIFLauncher 1.1.2
Hellooo, new here, how can I enable the randomizer?? It doesn't give me the option
Hey @foggy cave! To unlock randomized mode: Create a new game, save in Pallet Town, and create a 2nd new game. More options will appear since the 1st save is locked to Classic Mode.
Our randomizer doesn't offer true randomization meaning each Pokemon or item you find is **not ** going to be random each time. Instead we offer the below for Pokemon:
Global:
- Makes it so that if Pidgey was randomized to Pikachu on route 1, all Pidgeys on all routes are Pikachu.
Area:
- Better randomization than Global. Makes it so that each route has their own randomized set of encounters.
For more questions on other randomizer settings, checkout the Randomized Mode Wiki Page
You should be able to launch the game, that’s the correct version
Trying to update the game through the PIFLauncher when it says theres a new version out, but it keeps giving me this error message?
As long as you’re on launcher version 1.1.2 you can ignore
Hey my fusion icons wont show properly since the update, it only shows the head pokemon instead of half and half. I tried restarting the game and changing the fusion icon setting back and forth but so far nothing worked.

Not with that icon, no
but whenever I try to open the game, it just closes
Is your launcher on 1.1.2?
Should I delete game.exe
when i reset the cache sprites the wild pokemon are still coming up with no sprite
Does your game launch when you try and open it? (The InfiniteFusion.exe file)
it was not, thank you, ill download the latest version of the launcher and see if that fixes it

?tag fakefiles
Beware of Unofficial Websites That Claim To Be Official.
The only official sources to download the game are here, the game's subreddit or the pokecommunity thread.
To clean out your computer:
- Delete all the save files from the fake files. It's not recommended to keep these, as they have bugs and fake data that the normal game doesn't have.
🔵 Your game folder has a shortcut that you double click namedSavefileto take you to the location to delete all save files. They are namedFile A.rxdata. - Delete any zipped/unzipped folders from there
- Run a virus scan
After doing all the steps, use #downloads to download the real files.
@quasi abyss ff
I did a virus scan, and it said Im clean, but is that website known to give malware? Or do yall not know. Because I know sometimes windows malware scans arent the best
It is known to have malware, yes
They rotate out their files so sometimes there is sometimes there isn’t
Anybody have an answer for this? Their quests also aren't updating, if that's relevant
Are they in randomizer and did they randomize static encounters?
one day RPGMaker XP will run on my handheld
I'm unsure, my other friend playing through is playing rando with "Randomized by area, Legendaries randomized with legendaries, static encounters randomized" and their radar is working as it should be, though their static encounters aren't actually randomized.
one day....
Randomizing static encounters breaks the radar so
Well okay, that's a mystery solved, I feel like an idiot
Or maybe didn’t reshuffle after an update. I’d have to do more testing to see if that would be the case 
Why did my 1.1.2 launcher zip file extract to be 1.1.0??
didnt rename it probably
dw about it
you will also likely get an error when dling, but ignore that
only thing that matters is that your launcher says 1.1.2 when you start it
Okay, then one more thing, why when I press play from my 1.1.2 launcher, nothing opens?

Does the game only store saves in the save files folder, and if so, when it says delete every game file, does it mean everything in the folder that you extract after downloading the zip, including the save files?
Uh
i got the saves
Your saves will be fine. They are stored separately from the game files
-# Nights stole all the saves
so if you are trying to update from an older verion than 6.6.0 and need to reinstall fresh, just delete whatever files/folder the game is in

The “SaveFile” thing in the game folder is just a shortcut
Go to #ask-a-bot for tagging the bot please
Ok sorry!^^
so are the saves actually stored in the appdata?
Yes
and when I delete the original game files to do a fresh reinstall, all my savefiles will automatically transfer to the savefiles shortcut in the game folder?
yes because the game looks specifically for the save folder
which is stored in your app data, away from your game files
which is why deleting game files does nothing itself
alright thank you
I just deleted the game, went to my appdata folder and went into roaming, didn't scroll down far enough, had a mini heart attack and thought I lost it. I just needed to scroll past 3 more folders. Phew!!
what thing of the autosaves did you try to activate?
you got something goin on in your saves folder
Where did you download from and do you have multiple saves?
Also where are your game files located?
Would you mind sending a screenshot of that folder?
wait i think i know the problem
when i did a clean install i didnt delete the old save folder.
i am going to try that
thats not generally an issue
save folder is fine, but your issue is likely that
and mayb saph will correct
Don’t see anything wrong there. You may have a corrupted save in your save folder then
its what i figured
Or some other files that shouldn’t be in there. (On rare occasions, screenshots in the save folder can mess with things too)
what do i need to do to fix this?
That fixed it

i just deleted everything on my pc related to the game and redownloaded and this came up
I have the same problem as Lucid_x_pax
already downloaded the 1.1.2 launcher. it doesn#t help
One of the Gentops sprites isn't showing up in game, I have cleared the sprite cache but it still isn't showing up
problem solved.
I forgot to change the game folder in Launcher 1.1.2.
After updating again i got the same message but the game version is 6.6.1
No tag corrupt found.
Hey! Just tried updating the game through the launcher. It downloads all the files then says it couldn't be updated successfully. I attached the error log, any help much appreciated! I'm sure it's a simple user error but I need a little guidance
Edit: when I try to start the game from the launcher the application opens briefly, then closes itself
?tag corrupted
The error you are having is due to a corrupted save in your save folder conflicting with your current save.
Note: Ensure you know which save file is corrupted before continuing. You can see the save slot on the save selection screen.
- Open your game folder
- Double click SaveFile
- Delete the save file causing issues.
- If you don't know which it is, you can remove the save 1 by 1 from this folder until you find it
If you want to revert your save to a backup, use ?tag backups for more info.
What version launcher did you try using to update
when you open it, top left
6.6.1
thats the game version

then reinstall fresh
your saves will be fine

guys pls help since i have downloaded the new ver the game wont start up, it shows a black screen and just closes after a few seconds. anybody know what to do?
Hey @hasty breach! 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.

i aint presing no buttons and it still closes
what launcher version do you have
there you go
you could scroll up like a couple messages before yours
outdated launcher, delete files, download new launcher from #downloads , install fresh
thanks a lot 
?tag olddata
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 below 6.6.0.
If you're using the Launcher:
- Reinstall version 1.1.2 of the launcher from #downloads
- Open the settings tab
- Click "Reset Config"
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 inPIFLauncher(#.#.#)/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.
I'm having random crashes. It's happened twice after opening the PC
yeah used the discord, and went through the update guide to reinstall it
i dont have a clue then
is there a error message you get when it happens?
Hi! Im currently updating from my android phone and Im wondering if I should delete the first version i downloaded or if i should keep it as is
6.5.1 is still current for android
it's not my PC I'm running a 4070 Ti Super and a amd ryzen 9
no, the screen goes black and when it comes back on the game is no longer running
@harsh epoch i went on and clicked reset config and i updated the game again but it still wont budge
am getting the same message too now
oh nvr mind i understand it now
I believe i have discovered a bug with the team rocket uniform key item, i looked in the bug reports channel and it sauid to reach out here, i have screenshots and can give instructions for how to recreate the bug as well. i tried it on multiple saves in a few different ways to make sure it was recreatable
(i also looked and as far as i can see there is no pre exisiting ticket for it
just post the bug instead of talking about it
a tech person will look at it when posted and then can move forward from there
in here or in the other? it wont let me crete a bug ticket
in here
the error happenes whenever you are already wearing the team rocket uniform and attempt to use the rocket uniform key item. So if you change outfits using the outfits menu to manually go either to or from the rocket outfit, it causes any use of the rocket uniform key item to crash your game
i believe what likely may be happening is that whatever variable holds the true false for the key item, does not get changed if you put on the outfit manually in the outfits menu, so it attempts to put on the outfit again and crashes the game, but thats just my running theory
latest version and windows 10
i got the download from the link in the discord server with the installer
v6.6.1
k whenever a pory or techmod is on they can take a look and add it to #1142871804269052004
thanks

np! let me know if any more info is needed! id be more than happy to help!
Might be a dumb question but i lost my sprites sinse the new update, anywhere i can download them?

For missing sprites on the 6.6 update, talk to the help man in any Pokémon center and navigate to Advanced Options -> Other -> Reset -> Clear Sprite Cache. Video

fresh install
I've completed 11 quests, but my quest journal, and the quest guy who gives you rewards, both say i'm stuck at 9?
have to ask because you have the new here thing, where did you get your game files from
Hello, just updated to 6.6.1 with a fresh install after a deleting the old files, now i cant find the launcher to download the sprite packages, auto download data is still enabled in the options but the sprites of the Pokémon i used are not there, what do i have to do?
discord
this discord
the launcher hasn't had the sprite download thing on it since 6.4
visit the help man and have him fix the game
that "might" resolve it
Oh okay, but i cant even find the launcher in the extracted files, im starting the game via game.exe right now
When will the sprites be downloaded?
as you play
I tried that and it sadly did not
i didn't say that
i said the launcher doesn't have the sprite download thing on it
because the repo host changed, there is a limit on how many sprites can be downloaded by the game, megaman had to remove that option from the launcher
Hey @verbal timber! You can download the game from: [#downloads](#downloads message)
If you need a guide, they are located: [HERE](#tech-support message)
the game itself can still get sprites the same way it did before:
- title screen
- battles
- fusion
if you have download data turned on
But where can i find it in the folder? What is it called now?
i don't know where you find it in your folder, you were the one who installed it
it should be in the PIFLauncher folder
if that is what you downloaded, extracted, and set up
Yes in aware of that, but in the extracted/installed files there is no piflauncher folder
then you didn't download the launcher
the only 2 windows installs are the lightweight and launcher
if there is no piflauncher folder then you probably grabbed the lightweight
i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the sprites loaded
is it my save?

If you're encountering invisible sprites
**The game comes with all sprites preinstalled, up until the February 2025 Pack.
The remaining packs will be downloaded as you play, as long as you have "Download Data" turned on and your device is connected to wifi. You do not need to do anything for them.
Keep in mind, the auto download does not have infinite speed or capacity and will not trigger if you are not actively encountering new sprites (ex; battling, checking the Pokedex, etc.).
After downloading X amount of sprites per time unit Y, it will be paused for a bit. We cannot adjust this limit and there is nothing you can do as the player to skip it or make it go faster.
Attempting to view sprites that have not been downloaded through this feature yet will show them as invisible.
The first time you encounter a base Pokemon, it will select a random one of all sprites, if it is a new one that hasn't been downloaded yet, it will show as invisible.
The same goes for fusions but with a little more nuance. To keep it simple, think of it the same.
Again, nothing wrong with your game. You just hit a download cap.
Note: Updating your game resets all your auto-downloaded sprites. do not attempt to "fix" this with updating. It will just make everything start from the beginning.
If you would like to manually import the latest sprite packs, further instructions can be found HERE

hi all, i just updated my game and now i cant even open it, any suggestions?
Any way to edit auto-save intervalls so it saves more often? Silly crash lost me 1h of playtime but I don't want to go and save whenever I do something

turn auto save off then back on again, it'll give you more options
but tbh, the default of only autosaving during pokecenter heals is the best option
the other ones can interfear with stuff and possibly cause issues in weird ways
same as what i told balakay, reset your sprite cache, make sure download data is on; as you play your game will grab sprites
The game isn’t working for me since the update, i fresh installed but it’s just opening then closing immediately
Oh, then the crash caused me to lose an auto save instance gg
How do i fix this missing sprite?

hi, the launcher told me to download 6.6.0 but im on 6.6.1 now. i also got an error message and inside the game sprites arent loading properly. example: the sprite i was using on my moltres/volcarona, gardevoir/goodra and every other sprite i was using have become the default unsprited version fusion i dont know what to do to fix this at all. also the smaller sprites you see when looking at ur team/box look like the unfused version of one of the fused pokemon
-
Can't fix that right now

Post a screenshot of the party icons
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.

oh yeah i know how to do that ive edited some of the sprites a bit even
as to why that happened, 6.6 reset sprites to autogens for some unknown reason
We tangled with this during prerelease
ahk
reseting the sprite cache fixed the custom sprites though it seems
Hi, I've been having a problem since the update to 6.6.1. The installation was done, but now when I launch Game.exe, the game opens its page and remains black, then turns off after a few seconds. Is this a known problem? (sorry for my broken English)

Couple of issues:
1 - Since updating, the combined menu sprites are just the base of the fusion, very hard to find anything in the box
2 - I don't seem to be able to get the Magic Boots items from Celadon even though I have the base mons completed, is there any way to check specifically, or some custom text in place for anything else done wrong?
I used the updater on whisky, and now my fusion will close stright after it starts
for the second one, when you talk to the dev, what does he say
see the bot message just above
Randomized mode is fun, did I accidently turn this on at some point on the playthrough?
yes
thx
means you either started in randomized mode, looked at the randomization options in the help man [after he warns you not to] or activated randomizer via the help man
that save is now flagged and can no longer earn debug
Hey @verbal timber! Magic Boots are an IN GAME reward for catching all unfused 501 Pokemon in a non-randomized file (Dex number 1-501). After doing so, the Developer in Celadon will reward you with them. Putting them on will unlock DEBUG options that you can play with.
Use ?tag proof to see how you get the Dex Completionist Role for earning the Magic Boots in Discord.
New Game + is unlocked after beating the Elite 4. It allows you to transfer your Pokemon from the current save to a brand new save.
This option appears on the Title Screen under New Game and WILL NOT overwrite or delete your save. More info is located in the Wiki: HERE

How to Update to the Latest Version (Windows)
- If you're on or above 6.4.2, double click
INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.batto 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
