[clear thorn]

[hard token]

anyone have a solution?

[rose lynx]

is there a problem with the level cap for the 4th gym?

none of my pokemon are gaining any exp even though they are below level 32

they started gaining once i turned it off tho

[weary briar]

Bonsly has a huge ? on it

What do I do?

[next cloak]

IDK what to do here

nvm i got it

[idle venture]

I got the game from the discord and downloaded the launcher. When I opened it and clicked on Update (just wanted to test it out), I got a warning from my anti virus program and put it into quarantine. Is this a false positive? Or rather, is this the same issue as the one under "Common Issues"?

[rare igloo]

a bunch of pokemon have the missing sprite out of nowhere

[valid coral]

yo guys many sprites of the pokemon in my game are like white circles with an grey "?" in the middle . i already updated everything but i dont think thats normal . what should i do?

[safe minnow]

looks like I'm not the only person having that issue

[valid coral]

haha

[quaint crest]

I just updated my game and now it wont open at all :/ the launcher goes to load pif and then closes itself

[idle venture]

i got a fusion sprite to work (just started the game), but my starter's just that circle with the ? too. i don't think that's supposed to be, right?

[valid coral]

yeah , but not all the starters were , i only saw the sprite of one starter

thats pretty strange

[idle venture]

huh that's weird. i really wanted to play, but idk if i should wait to see if/how this is getting fixed

[rare trellis]

I just got to victory road and Everything was fine the whole playthrough but now loads of sprites are missing.

Seems others are having this too

Wonder what's going on?

[idle venture]

Is there a way to download sprites? Sorry, I'm very new to this. It looks like the game hasn't loaded many of the sprites for me, I think?

[valid coral]

lucky you

we are stuck in the same boat

[weary briar]

So it's not just me.

Something broke.

[violet panther]

is it just a thing with the newest update or smthn

[rare trellis]

Rip

[idle venture]

i also noticed that i downloaded the 1.1.2, but when i extract it, it says 1.1.0?

[safe minnow]

I tried that and it didn't work

[sterile pivot]

damn i thought it was just me

[rare trellis]

Kinda glad it's not just my game that's botched

[valid coral]

yeah

[quaint crest]

Yea my friend said his sprites are gone too so idk unfort i guess :/

[weary briar]

when did this start happening?

[idle venture]

oh I got a different question. Is there a way to change the keybinds?

[quaint crest]

Uhhh for him it happened when he did the most recent update

[rare trellis]

Weird thing is I haven't updated the game since I installed it a few days ago. And it litteraly just happened out of noware like an hour ago

[valid coral]

i noticed it today because i wantet to play again after months

[quaint crest]

I updated and cant even load the game so idk whats up :/ with it it was fine before this

[safe minnow]

f1

[quaint crest]

same

[idle venture]

thank you!

[fallow wyvern]

?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 below 6.6.0.

If you're using the Launcher:

1. Reinstall version 1.1.2 of the launcher from #downloads
2. Open the settings tab
3. 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 in PIFLauncher(#.#.#)/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.

[quaint crest]

thank youuuu

[small cliff]

some sprites dont load for me and they just give the circle with the question mark even after trying to update it. what can i do?

[last patio]

Question: Does Pokemon Infinite Fusion work on Xiaomi?

[valid coral]

we have the same problem rn

probably an update bug

[weary briar]

You'd think you would see it in announcements then

[paper shore]

Halp? I’ve seen to be missing sprites all of a sudden

[idle venture]

would it make sense to ping the voluntary game helpers?

idk if this issue is known outside this channel rn

[paper shore]

Oh whoa wait maybe there’s a game wide issue then?

For the sprites?

[weary briar]

I mean it's a pretty serious issue

[paper shore]

[valid coral]

prolly

[paper shore]

Dang, and I just got umberon too.

It seems more like the normal sprites are missing too, the fusions exists

[zinc shale]

which one is not loading for you ? for me buneary has the question mark sprite, the sprite selector is blank

[idle venture]

it looks like the normal sprites are missing but fusions seem to work for me too

[paper shore]

[weary briar]

takodachi

[paper shore]

Too bad too bad. Guess we’ll have to waits

It’s 4 am anyways, what’s. Perfect time for the game to say “uh oh, broken come back later”

[leaden magnet]

Alr so uh why is this happening? I get this very often in the game

[idle venture]

which button is the speedup button?

[leaden magnet]

Q

[rare trellis]

It's a new thing everyone just started having

[paper shore]

It’s maybe a server or online wide issue

[leaden magnet]

Wild

[idle venture]

thanks!

[leaden magnet]

I got an outfit for it

[paper shore]

I doubt it’s file based

[weary briar]

Oh yeah so did I!

The outfit

[paper shore]

Oh an outfit???

[rare trellis]

Oh is that what the glitch outfit is for?

[leaden magnet]

Ion feel like resetting my save again cause its goated rn

[paper shore]

Most I got was a glitch mask not outfit

[fallow wyvern]

For all with sprite issue

[paper shore]

?tag resetcache

[pearl magnet]

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

[leaden magnet]

I got a cook's outfit for it and the mask

Idk why

[paper shore]

Where did yall get yours? I got it at the power plant

[fallow wyvern]

If not working

[leaden magnet]

start of the game

[weary briar]

That didn't work

[paper shore]

[pearl magnet]

If you're encountering missing sprites

**If you just updated to 6.6, do the reset cache steps mentioned in this #announcements message post.
**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.

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 missing.
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, they are located in #spritepack-releases and further instructions can be found HERE

[rare trellis]

Victory road

[zinc shale]

I got it in cerulean catching the poke radar buneary

[weary briar]

Already tried that.

[paper shore]

Not sure how I missed that

[paper shore]

Guess it’s time to hacker man

[leaden magnet]

Guh I don't got time for it

ion how to do it either

[weary briar]

This didn't work. Already tried that.

[leaden magnet]

(Im a lil stupid)

[wary scarab]

Try turning "download data" off and on then restart the game

[weary briar]

Where is download data located?

[wary scarab]

Settings

[paper shore]

In the game or files?

[weary briar]

One sec let me try

[wary scarab]

Game

[paper shore]

Oh

[rare trellis]

Help man did not help

[fallow wyvern]

What is your problem exactly again ?

[hardy idol]

then its likely you hit the download cap. just wait and play the game as you would

[weary briar]

For example, in the remix Misty fight the first fusion looked normal, but the second one was the auto generated one. Then there's the fact that many of the Pokemon are white circles with ?.

[maiden mulch]

guys im confused i just finished extracting but its saying there's alr a file named ".png"

[small cliff]

raichu

[broken flax]

hello just started the game im missing something?

[maiden mulch]

nvm

[fallow wyvern]

@weary briar

[wary scarab]

Man alot of sprite issues huh

[violet panther]

is there any way for the download cap to like, clear

[small cliff]

i wonder aswell

[weary briar]

I have sat and waited for over an hour before.

[violet panther]

cuz this is happening to a lot of ppl at the exact same time

idk

[small cliff]

yip

i think imma deactivate automatic downloads later and install it manually

[paper shore]

[fallow wyvern]

After, I don't know, wait for more skilled people than me

[wary scarab]

Did the download data stuff work

[weary briar]

No.

[wary scarab]

Damn

[weary briar]

It did not work.

[paper shore]

Imma just, idk, sleep like a normal and then return to play in the morn. So same, I’m sure the pros will have a solution

[weary briar]

Something broke.

The devs should be notified.

[wary scarab]

Ugh i gotta update my game

[weary briar]

Updating does nothing

[hardy stone]

Is this bad?

[weary briar]

I wonder if it's a server issue.

[verbal timber]

Dev

and he knows

he is the one that set the download cap

[idle venture]

i assume the answer is no, but is this an issue that shows up every time you do a clean install of the game?

[weary briar]

This isn't a download cap issue.

[verbal timber]

it is

because there are 2 download caps

also just "sitting" around does nothing

you need to be actively playing the game, using the mons

[violet panther]

ok but how have so many people hit the exact same download cap

[weary briar]

I have been for hours

[violet panther]

at the same timeframe

[verbal timber]

sigh

will try to explain this as best I can

[weary briar]

Instead of sighing why not explain

[verbal timber]

everyone has the same download cap for their game

only Frog knows what that cap is, how often sprites get downloaded, and how long the "down period" of the game being unable to grab sprites lasts

[turbid terrace]

Hey @verbal timber! You can download the game from: [#downloads](#downloads message)

If you need a guide, they are located: [HERE](#tech-support message)

[verbal timber]

there is also a second cap, which is for the repo as a whole

[idle venture]

sorry for the question but what does repo mean in this context?

[verbal timber]

repo = the host for where spirtes are stored which the game can connect to to download them if you have Download Data turned On

[idle venture]

thank you!

[verbal timber]

this server has 700K+ people in it; now I'd hazard that at least 100K-200K of them actually play the game

each person sending download requests to the repo as they play

the second cap is to ensure that Frog doesn't have to pay more than he already is for the host

[leaden magnet]

Hmmm yeah this seems familiar

[verbal timber]

the long and short of it: due to 6.6, the repo is being hammered with download requests making it difficult for players to get sprites while playing the game

[weary briar]

So what you're saying basically is that the repo is strained.

[verbal timber]

yes

[dreamy hemlock]

unlucky

[verbal timber]

and there is nothing Frog can do to remedy it

[primal bluff]

yea seems to be happenin quite a bit, gotcha

[idle venture]

so we just gotta be patient?

[valid coral]

probably

[verbal timber]

there is a solution but

it is only recommended for anyone not on android

[idle venture]

(also this pokemon looks super cool. great sprite work)

[safe minnow]

shot in the dark, but would downloading a spritepack work for it?

[weary briar]

What is that solution?

[leaden magnet]

Actually how do you know when the download is finished?

[valid coral]

yeah it looks majestic

[leaden magnet]

(peak pokemon)

[primal bluff]

its so good, says it was done by "ralliv"

[verbal timber]

the solution is downloading the full sprite pack and manually importing both the custom fusion sprites as well as the base sprites

[leaden magnet]

Y'all like mine?

[valid coral]

peak pokemon game

[idle venture]

nice!

[leaden magnet]

indeed

[valid coral]

👌

[safe minnow]

gotcha

[verbal timber]

#spritepack-releases the full pack can be found in that channel

you would need to

download
extract
open the pack
open custom battlers folder
cut ALL the sprites in there
paste them in the Sprites to import folder in your custom battler folder
load up the game
it should see the sprites as you try to load up either the game itself or a save
it should import them

then for the base sprites
they are in the other folder in that same pack
in the base sprites folder
same logic as the above

[weary briar]

What about updates. Say new sprites are made. What then?

[valid coral]

i think patience is the better option

[verbal timber]

technically, you should be turning download data off at that point and manually importing packs as they come out each month

[weary briar]

Got it. Should I be using the light launcher for this or what?

[verbal timber]

either works

[safe minnow]

bc I'm dummy the base sprites would go into "custombattlers" currect?

[verbal timber]

?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.

[weary briar]

I do appreciate the help Mordrid. Thanks. I'll try this now

[verbal timber]

as the bot message hassaid, not into the custombattler folder itself, but into the Sprites to import folder

that is what the game uses to check for sprites that are manually added

[verbal timber]

fair warning, the custom fusion side of what I said; will make the game freak out

after all

you are chucking 140K+ png images into it

[hardy idol]

if its like what i done with 6.2.4. expect a lot of lag between the opening video. and then at the loading screen if you do

[idle venture]

do we need to do anything with the spritesheets folder from the downloaded file?

[chilly tiger]

most the base pokemon sprites are missing for me since i updated, i have auto updates on and have played for many hours and cleared the cache via help man. nothing is fixing this any advice?

[idle venture]

currently testing if downloading the full pack fixes it

[verbal timber]

see the above

explained it already, no desire to explain it again so soon

[verbal timber]

leave it, that is how sprites are downloaded by the game normally, what I told you to do is the longer way around

[turbid terrace]

Hey @verbal timber! You can download the game from: [#downloads](#downloads message)

If you need a guide, they are located: [HERE](#tech-support message)

[idle venture]

okay, thanks!

[zinc shale]

isnt only the base sprites the ones that are wacky right now ? why would people try this, they should only import the base sprites

[weary briar]

For me some of the custom sprites are messed up too. Especially with Misty's remix fight.

[pale rock]

Will this fix itself if I wait it out or?

[ornate portal]

ah goody so its a game wide thing, not just mee

[idle venture]

got all the files in now. let's see how long it'll take for the game to load lol

[verbal timber]

all sprites can be borked

[verbal timber]

maybe, no guarantee

[ornate portal]

If I make a copy of the savefile folder and savefiles file will i be able to delete and reinstall PIF?

[zinc shale]

you are right, i created another folder to download the game from scratch and everything is botched, no custom sprite is working and all base sprites are missing

[verbal timber]

unless you are on steamdeck or android, your saves are not tied to your game files

[zinc shale]

with my other folder its a frankenstein of what i had already seen before in my game and everything i havent seen is a botched sprite

[ornate portal]

ah sweet so i can just delete that whole folder and run the installer again

[umbral hull]

yeah I also ran into the issue, so it seems like everyone else is running into it..

[verbal timber]

note if you are doing the full pack install you will need to do the resetcache thing via the help man

[ornate portal]

I booted it up and like half of the basemons didnt have sprits i was like, wah duh fuh

[umbral hull]

same lol

even squirtle lost its sprite

[verbal timber]

base mons are the most likely to get hit with the issue

[umbral hull]

I only had mankey & the rockruff egg

[verbal timber]

fusions seem less likely but it does happen

[ornate portal]

Thanks, i'll reinstall now : )

[molten marlin]

6.6.2 is the current version in windows right or no?
i see some sprites not loading or it just defaults to the default abomination sprite 😭

[verbal timber]

scroll up

you'll understand

[idle venture]

unfortunately, i still don't have base sprites. i downloaded the full sprite pack and imported them the way it was described. upon starting, the game loaded for a while and then said a ton of sprites were added. sprites are still white circles with ?

so downloading them all didn't seem to have fixed it for some reason

[molten marlin]

oh huh! alright

[verbal timber]

did you also grab the base sprites

because if you only grabbed the fusion ones, that would be why

[idle venture]

i got the full pack, but i'm not sure if the sprites are included? where is the link to the base sprites? sorry, everything's so new to me

they're probably missing then

[verbal timber]

the base sprites are in the full pack

[idle venture]

i got the full pack with like 190k sprites

[verbal timber]

this

[weary briar]

Right. This is an issue. My computer is having an issue copying the 190,000 pngs.

[tender maple]

sprites arent loading in for me, even just the base ones, tried importing them but also didnt work, this an example

[verbal timber]

^if you import a sprite of any kind you will need to do the resetcache thing

[idle venture]

i got the instructions from the site

[verbal timber]

what site

[tender maple]

i already did that multiple times

[idle venture]

https://hackmd.io/@PIF-Tech/ImportSprites

[tender maple]

still didnt fix

[verbal timber]

then you may not have imported the sprite correctly

[verbal timber]

ok, had to make sure

[tender maple]

it only imported 4.8k sprites

[verbal timber]

did you only download/import the most recent sprite pack?

that only has sprites for that month

[tender maple]

i also did the things they said in the reddit like turning the auto on and off, didnt work

[tender maple]

ah, the May one? yes

[verbal timber]

yeah that only has sprites made in that month

so any sprites not made in that month won't be in that pack

[tender maple]

rough, where do i get the whole sprite list?

[verbal timber]

in the full pack

#spritepack-releases

the above channel has it as well

[tender maple]

this?

[ornate portal]

they all go into custom battler folder, yes?

[verbal timber]

yes

[verbal timber]

they go into the Sprites to import folder

[tender maple]

then i follow the same instructions, right?

[fading ether]

So from what I'm gathering the issue with missing sprites is game wide ATM? Is there any definite fixes? I've tried re-setting the cache a few times

[verbal timber]

...

[verbal timber]

scroll up

[weary briar]

Is there a way I can just put the folder in and unzip it in there? My computer is having an issue copying the hundreds of thousands of files.

[verbal timber]

not re-explaning it again

[tender maple]

ctrl + a > ctrl + c in the sprites to import right?

Ogei, thank youu

[verbal timber]

i mean sure, but then you'd need to find the folder in a sea of 140K+ sprites to delete it after words

it is easier to just cut/paste the sprites

[weary briar]

Sort by type?

[verbal timber]

https://tenor.com/view/wait-that-thats-is-illegal-gif-18393263

[zinc shale]

hahaha mordrid im watching you losing your sanity, its impossible to reply 20 different people if each botch the import proccess at different points, just wait until this issue is addressed

[umbral hull]

Quick question : You do extract the spritepack in the Graphics folder, correct?

[verbal timber]

i never had that

[idle venture]

do the base sprites also go into Custom Battlers/Sprites to import ? Or do they go into Battlers?

[verbal timber]

no

[zinc shale]

not sure how well windows will react to this, specially if you have it to preview images, can be a fun experiment

[weary briar]

Hey I'm figuring this out

[verbal timber]

same place as custom fusion sprites

[umbral hull]

I'm confused 😭

oh wait

[surreal goblet]

Getting the question mark sprites 😔

[verbal timber]

scroll up

have explained it

[umbral hull]

ty mordrid

[verbal timber]

no desire to explain again

unless it is the short version

[weary briar]

Wait how do I turn preview images off?

[verbal timber]

that's more of a not this channel thing

[umbral hull]

I'm afraid to do smth wrong, I just paste the png from Custom Battlers in "Sprites to import" ?

[verbal timber]

yes

[umbral hull]

alright

[zinc shale]

dont be, if you do something wrong delete the folder and reinstall from scratch, you wont fix the sprites that way because its an ongoing issue but you wont lose your game or anything like that

[verbal timber]

your device might freak out because of the volume you are moving

your game will freak out when you actually import the sprites

[idle venture]

got the base sprites in now and it confirmed to have been imported! squirtle for example is still not showing the sprite tho. cleared the cache from the guy in the pokemon center, also didn't change it. did i do something wrong now? sorry you gotta play tech support so much, but it's very appreciated

[umbral hull]

and for the base sprites, do I do the same manipulations ?

[verbal timber]

try fixing the game with the help man, if that doesn't resolve it then make sure you have the pokedex and can change the sprite

?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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOY_mxJ-Bx8

[surreal goblet]

assumed resetting sprite cache fixes it 🤷

[idle venture]

i'll try that. thank you!

[verbal timber]

should that fail as well, then I have no idea and this just further gives the suggestion I made recently more validation

[umbral hull]

I tried fixing the game by the helpman beforehand but it didn't work :(

now i'm up for 2 hours of extracting 😭

[weary briar]

Holy crap it's finally pasting

[ornate portal]

just dont forget to turn off auto download sprites before you import them

[weary briar]

Oh this is gonna take a WHILE

[zinc shale]

im trying to validate but im waiting on the full extraction, my past self should have been smarter and i should have just imported buneary sprite because i knew that one was a question mark but ohh well, we have all the time in the world

[zinc mulch]

why are most of the sprites question marks

not the fused pokemon just normal sprites are not loading

[dark tinsel]

just imported all the sprites successfully, i was notified they were imported when i launched the game but a lot of the pokemon are still showing up just as quesiton marks

imported the full sprite list

[umbral hull]

sometimes my settings don't save.. so I hope it works

[zinc shale]

with how fast you guys imported the full sprite list im almost positive you must have botched somewhere

[idle venture]

this fixed it!! there a couple of sprites blank for the pokemon, but there are so many options to choose from and these work. thank you so much

[weary briar]

Yeah there's NO way

[dark tinsel]

it took me 45 minutes

[weary briar]

This is taking AGES

[verbal timber]

sadly we ran out of cheese

[idle venture]

mine was 15 minutes, and then quite a while to put it into the right folder

[umbral hull]

for some reason at points I was struggling to keep my game in bordered, it kept in fullscreen for a few times

[verbal timber]

yeah don't do that

fullscreen can cause visual shenanigans

[umbral hull]

oh

[weary briar]

Interesting

[verbal timber]

?tag fullscreen

[pearl magnet]

Using the in-game option for Full Screen can strain your graphics card and lead to Graphics issues, flashing, green lines, and more.

We recommend setting the Screen Size option to a lower setting and dragging the corners of the window to make the screen larger instead for computers having issues.

[dark tinsel]

is there any other option for me here or do i just have to deal with the question marks

[verbal timber]

see the above
resetcache
fix game with help man
if those both fail, check alts

[umbral hull]

well now I have to wait 3 hrs for extraction & many hours to complete in the folder.. guess i'll let it sit while I work through the day

[idle venture]

also if it still doesn't work, check if you can change sprites in the pokedex! that's what i got it to work, even if i can't use the vanilla sprites rn

[verbal timber]

vanilla base or vanilla fusion?

[dark tinsel]

yeah i tired that and none of the sprites show up

[idle venture]

vanilla base. fusions seem to work tho i only encountered like 4

[verbal timber]

then you likely did something wrong

double check to make sure you no longer have sprites in the Sprites to import folder and that they have migrated into local_sprites either within the BaseSprites folder or the indexed folder [which is custom fusions done by our dex numbers]

[ornate portal]

300 mons in and theres still 70k sprites to copy, you guys are animals with creativity 👹

[weary briar]

So! If I did it right when I boot the game it should say something about sprites right?

[verbal timber]

once you get so far in the game should say something akin to "Hey, I found these sprites, I'mma import them"

and then proceed to have a panic attack because 140K+ images

if it asks about replacing sprites, just say yes

[weary briar]

Got it. I took the sprites from custombattlers from the full package and copied JUST THE PNGS into the folder that basically said sprites go in here.

[verbal timber]

whatever works

[ornate portal]

last time i played a fangame, i imported 3d battlers, somehow, i ended up with charizard as squirtle 😄

[tender maple]

do i import all the things in each folder?

[weary briar]

No

[tender maple]

only custom battlers?

[verbal timber]

this is what you do

[weary briar]

If you look up Mordrid said exactly what to do

Yeah that

[tender maple]

oh js the custom battlers and base sprites? okayyy ty

[verbal timber]

that isn't what is said either

please read it

[tender maple]

at the bottom it says

[verbal timber]

you need to OPEN the folder

[weary briar]

No no, not custombattlers

[tender maple]

yeah

the things inside them right

[verbal timber]

yes

[tender maple]

ye

tyy

[verbal timber]

the way you said it was moving the folder itself

which has high chances of breaking things

[tender maple]

😭 mbmb LMAO

[weary briar]

Must feel like running a daycare

[verbal timber]

that is the nice explanation

[weary briar]

There's been no less than 15 asking about these damn ? today

Myself included

[verbal timber]

[idle venture]

is it always this chaotic after updates? :' D

[austere narwhal]

guten Morgen wünsche ich ich habe ein Problem ich habe jetzt die 6.6.2 drauf und die ganzen Pokémon die ich Starter sind als Fragezeichen egal welches Pokémon kommt ist es als Fragezeichen

[verbal timber]

normally, no

[verbal timber]

english only please outside of the international section

otherwise #deutsch

[idle venture]

yeah, we've been having this issue. seems to be happening to most of us if not all

[verbal timber]

i think the last time we had a big shenanigans of issues was 6.0

and that was mostly just due to Necrozma

[idle venture]

ah good to know

[weary briar]

Alright it's at 90 percent, let's see if I screwed this up

[verbal timber]

best wait until it is done

you know

in case other things decide to bork

[weary briar]

Yeah yeah for sure

[chilly tiger]

ty mordrid. found the answer scrolling up!

[weary briar]

I'm patient

[verbal timber]

leave your soul at the desk on your way out...

standard policy

[weary briar]

Ok it's done!

Let's try it

[dark tinsel]

hmmm

[tender maple]

OH RIGHT, just in case, let's say if i were to get a new ssd, can i js move all the files there? like the save files too? cus my ssd lowk filling up

[verbal timber]

saves aren't tied to your game folder

[dark tinsel]

so none of the files are left in the sprites to import folder, they have been sorted properly. just tried the help man and still no success

[verbal timber]

they are stashed away in roaming appdata [least on windows]

[verbal timber]

then check alts, if that fails you likely did something wrong somewhere

[tender maple]

ahh so i js need to download inf fusion on my new ssd and my saves will still be there?

[dark tinsel]

im unsure what you mean by check alts

[graceful drum]

Sorry, i haven't installed the game yet. I just bought a new phone and I noticed that while on the other phone i was able to play the game without any lag, this one, the galaxy AO5s, seems to do the opposite, as you wrote in the download guide. Is there any way to play it without any lag?

[verbal timber]

long as you aren't replacing your main drive where appdata is, then yes]

[verbal timber]

?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.

[tender maple]

alr alr thank you

[verbal timber]

nope

mobile is finnicky with performance

[mint quail]

alot of my base pokemon sprites have turned into question marks, how do i fix this?

[verbal timber]

scroll up quite a bit

have 0 desire to reanswer this

[weary briar]

Ohh it's black screen for a while

[turbid terrace]

Hey @weary briar! 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.
• Use our performance tips to help your issues: [More Info](#tech-support message)⬅️⬅️

[verbal timber]

yeah

[dark tinsel]

yeah it'll take a while nova

[verbal timber]

that is the game freaking out

[weary briar]

Yeah I did something right

[idle venture]

it took me several minutes, so yeah

[dark tinsel]

only the first time after launching though

[weary briar]

Oh sick

[verbal timber]

"AHHHHHH why did a bunch of images get shoved into my files"

[chilly tiger]

your gonna need it xD this is gonna keep happening atleast every 15 mins for eternity.

[idle venture]

but a good way to check if you did it right. if it doesn't take a while, you know you did sth wrong lol

[verbal timber]

remember, if you have done or are doing the full pack method, turn off Download Data in game [not in the main menu, in your save]

[weary briar]

aaaaa why was download data on?! I turned it off!

[idle venture]

once you're done with this, you can turn it on again, right?

[unborn grotto]

I had downloaded the game and I had a very good progress and very cool fusions.The issue is that 1. My old fusions have changed into the worse. 2. I started a new playthrought and the sprites are missing no.Why?And how to fix it?

[verbal timber]

scroll a good ways up

has been explained

[idle venture]

okay, good. i haven't turned it on again yet

[verbal timber]

yeah with the full pack you want it off

[idle venture]

thank you!

[weary briar]

Now I need to talk with the glasses guy right?

[verbal timber]

the repo stores sprites differently, so if you leave it on, the game will download thats tuff

[verbal timber]

https://tenor.com/view/men-in-black-agent-k-figment-of-your-imagination-neuralyzer-mib-gif-7763596499493619120

[dark tinsel]

well i've run through all the steps exactly as it was explained but still just the base pokemon im getting a lot of question marks so im at a loss here

[verbal timber]

did you import the base sprites as well?

[dark tinsel]

sure did

[verbal timber]

then I got nothing

[dark tinsel]

well thanks for trying at least

[idle venture]

i fixed this by changing all of the sprites via the pokedex

[mint quail]

where am i

[dark tinsel]

appreciate you

[dreamy hemlock]

same here ima just wait tbh lol

[verbal timber]

wii plaza /s

bag
key items
debugger

read what it says

[mint quail]

thank you

[verbal timber]

so you choose the correct answer

[tiny crane]

Hi idk if this is a common problem but if i start the game it says to update the game to 6.6.1 but i have dont the INSTALL_OR_UPDATE and it doesnt fix it, do i need to fully reinstall the game? :/

[verbal timber]

yeah might be better

reinstall will fix it

?tag guides

[dark tinsel]

i think i'll just delete everything and try again

[pearl magnet]

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

[chilly tiger]

could i copy the base sprites in after the custom sprites, but before i start the game? or need to start the game after customs then copy base sprites?

[surreal goblet]

question: where to download the base sprite...
-# just downloading the full sprite pack 1-114

[idle venture]

it's in the "other" folder in the full sprite pack!

[chilly tiger]

in the full sprite pack other folder

[surreal goblet]

👍

[pale rock]

I was hoping reinstalling would fix things

[tiny crane]

welp ill give it a shot, hoped for easier solution but thanks for anwsering anyway ❤️

[dreamy hemlock]

so i went though the pokedex and changed the sprites so only the imported ones exist but none of the base have one

[weary briar]

The game just got rid of them

Sprites to import is empty

[verbal timber]

in there

[weary briar]

What.

[prisma wave]

I'm currently having the same issues after redownloading. Found a post from awhile back of people saying their sprite server may have gone down. Would make sense if that was the case right now.

[grim moat]

Assuming I don't wanna go messing around with the sprites myself, am I correct in thinking that if I just wait, leave the game running, it'll eventually fix itself?

[verbal timber]

that means it worked

hopefully

[zinc shale]

can confirm you can manually import the base sprites and custom sprites and it still works fine, problem is you retain a lot of "blank" sprites (even deleting cache and disabling download previously to start this process) leftover in the sprite selector

[weary briar]

Ohhh

[verbal timber]

yeah that happens

[idle venture]

yeah, i have to manually change every pokemon that ends up with a ?. usually the base ones, the fusions seem to be okay

[verbal timber]

nothing we can do for that atm

[zinc shale]

To the right of that image there are 20 blank sprites, which basically correspond to everything that should be there

[ornate portal]

Do the base sprites go in the import folder too? Just double checking ❤️

[zinc shale]

yes

[ornate portal]

Thanking you

[verbal timber]

if you want to, just means more sprites for the game to freak out on

[idle venture]

i think it's really cool we can choose the sprites. at least one way to fix it for now

[verbal timber]

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

[sterile pivot]

i just satrted playing and none of the sprites for the starters are appearing

[verbal timber]

scroll up a good ways

has been explained on how to fix

[idle venture]

#tech-support message

[ornate portal]

xoxo gossipgrimer

[weary briar]

How do I keep auto download from automatically turning on? I've turned it off twice now.

That's not good.

[verbal timber]

load up save, turn it off, save, close game

[graceful acorn]

Same issue here

[zinc shale]

the fix is lenghty (mostly because the full pack of sprites of this game is fucking insane) so it might be worth your while to just wait until its fixed by the devs

[verbal timber]

each save is independant

[tiny crane]

am i the most dense pc user ever or isnt there a unstill button / application right @verbal timber

[idle venture]

also make sure to go down to confirm in the options page

[verbal timber]

game isn't "installed" in the traditional sense

[zinc shale]

XD

[verbal timber]

delete the game folder

[sterile pivot]

lengthy becaus its a bog file?

i cant type

[idle venture]

yeah it's like 190k sprites

[zinc shale]

yess, 1.9GB of file full of sprites

[sterile pivot]

thats not bad

[verbal timber]

if you are on mobile, don't

[scarlet venture]

1.9gb of Sprites? That's some awesome community work

[graceful acorn]

............

[zinc shale]

or do, for science

[verbal timber]

android was NOT designed to hold that many pngs

[dark tinsel]

ahhhhh

[sterile pivot]

oh if youre on mobile i guess thats bad

[dark tinsel]

i may have sorted it

[idle venture]

yeah got the same issue. just choose a sprite that's available for now until it's fixed

[acoustic tapir]

Hello, i have some problems with sprite when i play PIF on my android. Does we have problem with sprite server ?

[verbal timber]

no

and you can't fix it outside playing the game with download data turned on, being connected to the internet and playing the game [battling, fusing, etc]

[turbid terrace]

Hey @verbal timber! You can download the game from: [#downloads](#downloads message)

If you need a guide, they are located: [HERE](#tech-support message)

[weary briar]

Ok it works!

The sprites are gone still but changing them in the sex works.

Dex!

[dark tinsel]

oh no i lied its still not working

[verbal timber]

lmao

[graceful acorn]

...lmao

[acoustic tapir]

Yes but i have auto dowload and connexion internet. I don't understand why i have always this problem then

[grim moat]

Ahh so I just go grind out some levels on some trainers, that kind of thing, and give it some time? Because I'm blitzing Johto rn and getting more and more missing sprites

[dark tinsel]

imported all the custom and base sprites

[verbal timber]

yeah not sure what is going on for you, what I explained should have resolved it

[sterile pivot]

wait so do i download each monthly pack or just the latest

[dark tinsel]

yeah im not sure either

[verbal timber]

because there isn't an infinite download cap on sprites

[dark tinsel]

all the fusions have been no issues so far

its just the base ones im having trouble with

[verbal timber]

the game can only download X amount per Y interval until Z limit has been reached at which point the game stops downloading them for a second Y interval until it resets

[turbid terrace]

Hey @verbal timber! You can download the game from: [#downloads](#downloads message)

If you need a guide, they are located: [HERE](#tech-support message)

[acoustic tapir]

Ah ok fine thank you !

[grim moat]

I have noticed one or two missing fusion sprites, all variants and all for pokemon that I don't actually have yet tho

[verbal timber]

again, if you are on mobile, you just suffer

[sterile pivot]

im on pc

[scarlet venture]

Is there a direct download option for 'all' sprites, So you don't have to wait for the delay?

[verbal timber]

then download the full pack

[sterile pivot]

i dont see the full pack

just the monthlys

[verbal timber]

then you aren't reading the message

because there is a thing in the spritepack message every month that is a link to the full pack

[sterile pivot]

youre right, i was being lazy

thanks

[verbal timber]

this is the instructions

[zinc shale]

you are going to have a hard time man, stop here before you move 190957 sprites to the wrong folder and have to move them again

[graceful acorn]

Even the Mask is screwed up, christ

[verbal timber]

no that is normal

[graceful acorn]

Do I just restart the game?

[sterile pivot]

i got nothing else to do with my time, ill go through the headache

[graceful acorn]

oh

[verbal timber]

that mask is if you fight a mon that lacks a sprite

[ornate portal]

My last question is, will I have to set every pokemon's sprite now, or just the ones ive already caught?

[surreal goblet]

lol

[verbal timber]

I'd just do what you've caught

[graceful acorn]

And the Mon that lacked a Sprite... happened to be my Starter

[zinc shale]

every, because the default one will still be a questionmark

[ornate portal]

K, ty, i got my pokemans back

[zinc shale]

meaning if you are going through the game every pokemon youve never seen is a questionmark

[pale rock]

I am just going to help it gets fixed automatically

*hope

[graceful acorn]

This question, but for the Lack of sprites issue for some of these mons

[verbal timber]

no guarantees it will

[ornate portal]

Time to turn auto download back on now 👹

[verbal timber]

scroll up, has been explained

[pale rock]

Well I will wait for a little at least

[dark tinsel]

just looking through the character folder in the graphics sections and it seems i can actually see which pokemon the files are missing for, like in the evolution chain i can see the pichu models and raichu models but no pikachu

[verbal timber]

your game will just try to grab the sprite sheets, basically doubling your sprites

[ornate portal]

Time to not turn my auto download back on now 👹

[zinc shale]

i think it will, they will just need to update the github with the defaults fixed, then git pull and its solved

[verbal timber]

we don't use github

we used to for the sprite repo

but it got nuked

[zinc shale]

the .bat directly updates from github doesnt it ?

[zinc shale]

ohh i see

[verbal timber]

github is just for the game

the sprites got moved off github [technically gitlab]

last year

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1056705898669682718/1312894200882139136/GitLab.gif

think it took like a month or so for Frog to find a new repo host

[zinc shale]

i know of some russian git repo hosters that allow worse things than propietary sprites to be hosted there but oh well

[pale rock]

I just don't like the idea of fixing it, with every pokemon I run into being a question mark

[dark tinsel]

is there anyway to download just the spritsheet for the base pokemon?

[gilded pecan]

how do i get the sprites to fix themselfs? some are stuck on a question mark

[verbal timber]

either keep playing the game with download data on, or manually import every sprite

[zinc shale]

going to be a long day, im tapping out gents, hope this gets sorted out

[verbal timber]

that is your choice, but i can't guarantee that it will get fixed soon

Dev is multitasking on both fixing issues with this game and making PIF Hoenn

the sprite problem is a weird one because it isn't gamebreaking, just annoying

[ornate portal]

Mm I was gonna bother myself to manually set all the sprites but thats just exactly as you said, annoying lol

[pale rock]

Yeah, I know. If it comes down to it, I will do the fix.

[verbal timber]

👍

[main ermine]

ohi have that questionmark thing too, is there a way to download the sprites?

[verbal timber]

scroll up a good bit

[main ermine]

i got worried i got a bad version when i installed >w<

[verbal timber]

explained in full

[main ermine]

i tried but im a bit scrambled its like 5 am

[idle venture]

#tech-support message

[ornate portal]

Might have to pay you in pokeballs soon Morbid

[main ermine]

ty

[verbal timber]

it'd need to be a lot of pokeballs per hour

since the Pokedollar is a 1:1 of the Japanese Yen

and a Pokeball costs $1.35

so...10 per hour [along with the free premire ball]

[ornate portal]

lol

[upbeat laurel]

i tried to manually install the new sprites.. now i got no sprites at all.

even when i delete the infinitefusion folder and redownload it.. i got no sprites

[idle venture]

did you follow the instructions? #tech-support message

[upbeat laurel]

does anyone know what folder i gotta put the new sprites in?

[idle venture]

look at the post i sent you

[upbeat laurel]

yeah but those instructions are old

[idle venture]

the post underneath. this one #tech-support message

[main ermine]

well i manually installed it and it just doubled all of the current ones for some reason and didnt add em

[upbeat laurel]

i follow them but the folders arent exactly like the instructions, so i have to guess

[idle venture]

did auto download get turned on again?

[main ermine]

im so new to this stuff idk anything

[idle venture]

if they're not the same, then idk, sorry!

[main ermine]

i just know that im pretty sure this fusion has actual good sprites and this is still the placeholder face one, so im confused

[regal geyser]

Are there no alternative sprites in the pokédex?

[idle venture]

do you have the pokedex? if yes, click on a pokemon entry and seei f you can change the sprite in the dex

[regal geyser]

?tag importsp || this should have the exact name

[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.

[upbeat laurel]

am i suppose to launch the game with the Game.exe or InfiniteFusions.exe?

[main ermine]

theyre all white squares

[idle venture]

i'm not sure tbh! i use the launcher, not the lite one. when you click on the launcher, you can just click play

[regal geyser]

Either

[idle venture]

did you make sure you got all of the sprites from the full sprite pack?

[main ermine]

yeah i believe so! i did select all

pasted em in

[idle venture]

made sure they're all in the correct folder? got the confirmation message when starting the game?

[main ermine]

yeah i put them in inport

and it said they got added

actually all the sprites

got removed??? and now theyre all the basic ones

[idle venture]

go through the list in the pokedex by clicking a lot of times. some pokemon got a lot of blanks for me but they eventually show up after some clicking

oh??

they're supposed to go away from the import folder

once they've been loaded in the game of course

[peak granite]

file explore doesn't like it when i try to paste 182k items into another folder????? any suggestions

[dreamy hemlock]

it looks like we both have the exact same issue rip

[idle venture]

yeah they're not supposed to stay in there once you got the confirmation in game

[main ermine]

idk what that means? do they leave themselves?

[idle venture]

i actually renamed the folder with all the sprites to the sprites to import, and then dragged it into the custom battlers

[dark tinsel]

yeah i dunno i dont think anything i can do at this point will fix this issue

[hot ivy]

i need help all pokemon are like this

[idle venture]

#tech-support message

[languid island]

same for me

[peak granite]

pretty smart i'll try that

[idle venture]

idk what exactly happens but it's correct the sprites are no longer in that folder

[quiet ginkgo]

just did the manual sprite install averything still borked, guess i will wait for a fix

[idle venture]

yeah file explorer ended up crashing when i tried to open that folder lol

[main ermine]

well what do i do

[dark tinsel]

a lot of people are having the same issue

with no real fix

so just wait

[main ermine]

i was having a lotta fun at least and im tryin my best to cooperate ^w^

[idle venture]

they should be added. click through a bunch in the pokemon sprites part in the pokedex and see if some do show up.

i got a lot of blanks for squirtle for example but after clicking for some time, i get some sprites that show up

[dark tinsel]

yeah nah thats not working for me either

[idle venture]

that's what ended up fixing it for me, so idk :x

[main ermine]

and all the base ones are also ?'s now too yeah

[quiet ginkgo]

i can scroll all i want in the dex just empty squares

[main ermine]

i think the recent one just like

borked all the sprites in the game

[grim moat]

lmao I accidentally unpacked all the sprites this game has onto my desktop

ops

oops

[main ermine]

yeah thingsre silly

its literally this in every single one and it wont change

[sterile pivot]

how long has this whole sprite situation been a issue? did i just choos eto the most inconvenient time to try this game?

[marble sinew]

Can I add custom Sprite manualy without Sprite sheet like before version 6.6

[main ermine]

maybe?

i started recently too

like a day ago

[idle venture]

seems to be recent. i started playing today too

[quiet ginkgo]

everything worked fine yesterday for me

[main ermine]

yeah

ever since i downloaded the new sprites it messed it all up

[dreamy hemlock]

yea its the new update screwed all the basic sprites

only fused is okay from what i can see

[main ermine]

i dont even get fused

theyre just base fused

[hardy stone]

I did all that with but some sprites aren't fixed, like Mudkip

[sterile pivot]

yeah i could see the fused pokemon in my battle with gary

just couldnt see the vanilla starters

[quiet ginkgo]

all the fused pokemon i encounter are just the autogen sprites

[main ermine]

same here

they used to not be

[idle venture]

one last thing i can think of. did you all remember to get the base sprites from the other folder in the full sprites file?

if that doesn't help, i'm out of ideas

[main ermine]

lemme try that? where do i put it in the folder too?

[dreamy hemlock]

yea thats alr been tested only swapping in pokedex works atm

[main ermine]

or do i need a fresh thing

[fading ether]

Oh you got the sprites to work again, @idle venture ?

[sterile pivot]

right now what im doing is moving all the files from the custom battler folder in the full pack file to my sprite import file for the game

idk if thats gonna fix it

[quiet ginkgo]

hope it works for you, it did not for me

[sterile pivot]

damn

this shit is taking mad long too

[quiet ginkgo]

yeah file explorer exploded a few time moving all those png's

[sterile pivot]

it was struggling to even open the folder with all the sprites

[verbal timber]

that should resolve fusion sprites

[main ermine]

didnt work

[verbal timber]

base sprites are in the Other folder

[sterile pivot]

bruh

[main ermine]

just tried it

tried adding eggs and base sprites

and nothing changed

[verbal timber]

eggs are usless

[grim moat]

Aight I think I saved my desktop lmao

[main ermine]

ok! :)

[idle venture]

yeah i downloaded everything and was able to change sprites through the dex. they still show up as ? when encountered the first time but afterwards, they got a proper sprite

[verbal timber]

but assuming you put the custom fusion sprites and the base sprites from the full pack into the Sprites to import folder

load up the game
it should see the sprites and move them
then

[quiet ginkgo]

manual install did not work for me, fusion sprites are all just autogen and base sprites still dont work

[verbal timber]

?tag resetcache

[pearl magnet]

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

[verbal timber]

if that fails
fix game with help man

if that fails, try changing 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 all that fails, then i'm inclinded to think you did something wrong

[main ermine]

through frankensteinian science... i brought my game back from the dead

i had to stitch a lot of deleted files together lol

its not the current version

[verbal timber]

that is an issue

because it should be

anything older we can't help with

[fading ether]

Aha! Good to know there is a way

[main ermine]

well theres plenty of ?'s and some sprites arent in

[verbal timber]

did you do everything i just said

[main ermine]

im gonna try copping it and putting in the new files

[verbal timber]

that could break things more

honestly at this point I'd recommend you do a clean install and start from scratch

[main ermine]

lets find OUT!!!!!

[vale prawn]

Hi i'm new

[peak granite]

i couldnt get the manual install to work.. game seems giga borked atm haha

[verbal timber]

if you need tech support for the game, post your issue, otherwise this is not a chat channel

[verbal timber]

then you may have done something wrong

[main ermine]

yeah everyones havin that issue rn

[verbal timber]

this

[peak granite]

is it supposed to be a guaranteed fix? All I did was download the sprite pack, and rename the custom sprites folder to Sprites to import, launched the game, did the same for the "Other" folder.

[verbal timber]

that is not how you fix it

so you goofed

^please do what that screenshot says

[sterile pivot]

what do i do with them

oh

wait

[verbal timber]

everything except the BaseSprites folder is useless

[sterile pivot]

so do i just ,move the contents of base sprites to sprite import

[verbal timber]

but I linked my instructions

[main ermine]

i think this worked? i see some new sprites

[verbal timber]

then afterwards the message i replied to above this one i replied to is the instructions on what to do with the full pack

[main ermine]

altho the one i was lookin for still doesnt seem to be here

thats ok we take these small wins

[verbal timber]

the full pack only contains sprites up to and including May 2025, any sprites posted to the discord after that are either on the repo [and will get put in a future sprite pack] or haven't been added to the repo [and will get put in a future sprite pack]

[main ermine]

it was a 2021 one apparently

altho idk how legit it is

[verbal timber]

chance it could have been removed from the game

[main ermine]

ah ok

fair then

sucks ill need a new poison lopunny combo, thanks for the help yall

[verbal timber]

several spriters requested their art no longer be associated with the game during x-mas

[main ermine]

i remember that

[verbal timber]

it was a thing and that is as far as I will explain it

[chilly tiger]

okay so i got the base sprites, do i have to manually pick every missing sprite? is there an auto select option?

[main ermine]

i understand it

[verbal timber]

try the resetcache thing and fixing the game

if that fails, then yes, you will need to pick each sprite

at least of the mons you are using

[verbal timber]

there is no way to autoselect

[chilly tiger]

thx i reset cache but was scared of the "fix game" option. TY for all your help

[verbal timber]

don't be scared of that, all it does is similar to verifying file integrity the way steam does for games on there

basically does a quick check to make sure nothing wonky is oging on

[chilly tiger]

they jus stay missing sprites until i manually change them ill try fixing game though

[verbal timber]

manual change may be the only option, but don't worry too much about it for mons you aren't using unless it annoys you

[rare trellis]

I installed all the sprite packages manually and the sprites seem to be working fine now

[plain scroll]

whats the estimated time for the sprite bugs to fix

[pastel dust]

If I move all the custombattlers objects over, should I still import the basic?

[sterile pivot]

well i moved the contents from base sprites to sprites to import, and it didnt work. is it supposed to look like this?

[verbal timber]

https://tenor.com/view/forever-sandlot-the-sandlot-gif-13526090

[verbal timber]

assuming you moved everything, that looks right

[sterile pivot]

weird

idk then

[verbal timber]

that screenshot is indicitive that you loaded the game up and it imported sprites

try manually changing the sprite of a base mon

assuming you have the pokedex

[verbal timber]

this

[sterile pivot]

i dont, i guess ill try that

[idle venture]

the 96x96 sprites + assets folder is not needed then?

[peak granite]

i couldn't paste the sprites from the sprite pack without crashing file explorer. any suggestions?

[untold granite]

Yup same issue, loaded my game up today and just a bucnh of base pokemon are missing their sprites. Tried resetting the cache, tried Fix game, but it's still just blank

[verbal timber]

if you lack the pokedex you'll need it before you can change sprites

[verbal timber]

scroll up a good ways, have explained it and linked messages accordingly

[pastel dust]

[quiet ginkgo]

Do it in smaller batches

[verbal timber]

that is more of a your pc thing, we can't help with that

[verbal timber]

no, because the base sprites are in a different folder

[pastel dust]

So that’s what I’m asking, is this importing the base naturally? Or should I import the base

[verbal timber]

Other>BaseSprites

[peak granite]

damb... feel like my pc should be able to handle it. i'll just do the clean reinstall for now and try again after restarting

[pastel dust]

Ah got it, so import separately

[verbal timber]

they go in the same folder

?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.

[pastel dust]

Is this so far the only fix for the sprites problem? This is more of a curiosity question than anything else

[verbal timber]

yes

unfortunately

[pastel dust]

Gotcha gotcha, much thanks!

[chilly tiger]

yeah it seems im goin to have to manually change them. ty for your help tho had next to no base sprites before so def an improvement. all my fusion seem to be fine jus some of the sprites have been swapped.

[sterile pivot]

okay the sprites show up in the pokedex. i have to manually set each one though 😭

[verbal timber]

the repo is being hammered with download requests since 6.6 came out, likely the download cap is being tapped out constantly

[verbal timber]

it is pain, but at least you have sprites

[coarse mica]

Good Morning i was trying to update the launcher and the computer keeps asking me to either sing up or use a code for GitHub is it normal to ask that?

[verbal timber]

i loathe recommending this because of that very reason

The Launcher has been upgraded and needs to be reinstalled. Please uninstall your current one.

Steps:

1. Press the Windows Key and type InfiniteFusionApp or InfiniteFusionLauncher (depending on version)
2. Right click the App and Click Uninstall

Use the following guide to install the new Launcher: ➡️ ➡️ Guide ⬅️ ⬅️

[grim moat]

Oh no... the more sprites I delete from my desktop via explorer the more keep appearing

[verbal timber]

your files are touched by onedrive

you shouldn't have anything on your desktop outside of a shortcut for the game application

?tag onedrive

[pearl magnet]

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.

To Fix:

1. Move your InfiniteFusion folder to your C:\Users\Your Name\Downloads folder
2. Open the .git folder (use screenshot below if you don't see it) and delete the file named shallow.lock
3. Rerun INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat afterwards to redownload any files OneDrive deleted.

How long has the sprite issue been going on?

[grim moat]

No I just accidentally pasted ALL the sprites to my desktop instead of the folder I wanted them in lol

[verbal timber]

6/7/25

[fierce bloom]

so i just downloaded the game and followed the game updater and stuff, and it gave me a prompt to where it says it will automatically update the images of the pokemon, but now all the sprites are still questionmarks

[verbal timber]

scroll up a good ways

has been explained multiple times

[idle venture]

#tech-support message

[main ermine]

ok sso like whys this one happening now? >w< i just talked to someone and they said they had this, i just installed the recent file thingy

it should be a custom sprite

they said they had the same issue too

but with another mon

[verbal timber]

nothing we can do to fix that

[main ermine]

really?

[verbal timber]

not sure why it is happening

so a fix is ?

[fierce bloom]

so when i play and have it auto updating it should just do the prites normally? i downloaded the thing

[quiet ginkgo]

i think its better to just go play something else till there is a fix

[verbal timber]

it may be months for that to happen if it can be fixed

[main ermine]

i mean the guy just said tehres nothing

so ig theyll just lose everyone???

idk ><w>< i dont get that idea

[fierce bloom]

i'm so confused

[verbal timber]

make sure to reset the sprite cache again

[main ermine]

how do you do that

[quiet ginkgo]

giving the manual install one more go before i give up

[verbal timber]

tldr: sprites are hard borked since 6.6, either keep playing with download data on and be patient, or manually install every sprite via the full sprite pack

[chilly tiger]

mordrid is a soldier lol idk how you do it. Kudos good sir. you have to manually select the sprites once you get them installed so unless the missing base sprites are a huge deal for you jus wait it out. most fusions are there for me if not all of them.

can you try changing the sprite via pokedex?

I started playing yesterday and all sprites loded no problem but now they wont lode

itll help

maybe

Thank the lord @verbal timber the fix worked

based on what ive seen its related to helping >w<

[verbal timber]

Tech Support and those within do not guarantee 100% success with any and all assistance we provide

[chilly tiger]

tbh unless your missing fusion sprites i would suggest only importing only the base sprites but you still have to manually select them after you install or it still shows missing

[agile oracle]

I am too primitive to undestand the correct steps of the solution

[verbal timber]

subject to nonsense, shenanigans, tomfoolery and just straight up spaghetti code; void in Ohio

[main ermine]

they arent supermans

[grim moat]

Ok that whole "my desktop nearly died because of my incompetence" sidequest was pretty funny, for those curious I ended up having to use command prompt to nuke every .png file there because doing it manually would've taken approximately my entire life lmfaooooo

[main ermine]

that sounds insane

im sleeping late arent i

[idle venture]

good that you managed to find a way to fix it

[pastel dust]

We love windows

[verbal timber]

then keep playing the game with download data turned on

the game will attempt to grab sprites as you battle and fuse pokemon

[main ermine]

good thing its raining

[agile oracle]

But is that going to eventually fix the pokemon sprites that are missing for me right now? (for example Lucario)

[verbal timber]

you need to use the mons in some capacity for the game to try and resolve this on its own

[verbal timber]

0 guarantee
sprite repo is being hammered with download requests since last month

it is likely at its cap

[slender pike]

when i redownloaded the game the lightweight launcher was broken for me

[main ermine]

oh so its sorta like

[marble sinew]

Is this only for fusion or base sprite too?

[main ermine]

unlocking it

[slender pike]

it would stop at 22% every time when trying to download the sprites

[verbal timber]

sort of

[slender pike]

but then i switch to using the gui launcher and it worked

[agile oracle]

Hahaha it's a fleshed out crisis

[main ermine]

makes sense

[grim moat]

I like how we all have the same problem here and then I find a way to fall facefirst into a whole other problem and have to fix it before going back to the old problem

[verbal timber]

more like it is sending a request to plop a sprite sheet into your game folders

[main ermine]

(it doesnt what are you saying lillie)

[main ermine]

cool!

[pastel dust]

Yeah, as a cybersecurity major this is why I preferred Ubuntu or Linux

[upbeat laurel]

I finally fixed it. easiest way was to manually install all the sprites

[verbal timber]

what I had you guys do is the shall we say...chonky method

[upbeat laurel]

thanks for the help

[main ermine]

yeah man savior fr

[idle venture]

seriously thanks

[slender pike]

manually installing all the sprites really slows the game down but if you have a good computer it can work

[pastel dust]

Our goat Mordrid

[grim moat]

I did a cybersec course online a few years ago, if I weren't lazy af I'd have this whole game sitting in it's own VM just to make my life easier lmao

[pastel dust]

I feel that

[chilly tiger]

are your base sprites showing up without manually fixing them? asking those that say issue is fixed for them

[slender pike]

yall are whack if you think running software in a vm makes things easier

[pastel dust]

It does to a degree, it allows for it to run separate without risk of corruption in the base system

[verbal timber]

that might make things worse since...well, loading and whatnot

[main ermine]

i just like took an old version out of the recycle bin and updated from there

[slender pike]

lol you have no clue what you are talking about

[grim moat]

well it would've meant I didn't accidentally ruin my desktop lmao

[verbal timber]

well if yall are good on the tech support, you can vamoose into another channel to chat

[grim moat]

ah yeah soz

[verbal timber]

please leave your soul on the desk on your way out as payment, standard protocol

[pastel dust]

I’m still trying to fix, computer is chugging along slowly is all

[main ermine]

uh sorry i already sold mine, do you take butterscotch

[verbal timber]

have you tried threatening it with violence?

used to do that with old tech all the time, worked just fine

[versed pike]

I just want to ask if I got this right, I'm not good with computer stuff and don’t really wanna mess with the game files the sprites of the base pokemon will be fixed in the next update?

[idle venture]

insulting tech sometimes works too!

[pastel dust]

This thing is braver than a Canadian goose-

[verbal timber]

can't guarantee that

the issue isn't something with the game files themselves

[agile oracle]

I wan't to speak to the Sprite Manager

[verbal timber]

may I ask why

Oh, i just found the phrase is funny, being so close to the "I wan't to speak to the Manager"-Karen-phrase y.y

question my standard none fused Pokémon sprites are not loading like chimchar ext but fused sprites are fine any idea how i fix that i already deleted the game and redownloaded it and it was working fine yesterday then about the time i was on the 7th gym a bunch of sprites stopped loading
