No official fix yet

[jade oracle]

Because nothing is loading, damn.

[vernal jungle]

Yaps buts its works a bit hahah

[rigid silo]

wellwell, fancy seeing you here

another day another fire

[hardy idol]

Run! Run far. Run fast.

[jade oracle]

How fix?

[zinc shale]

yup, its an easy fix but probably not so easy for frog because his whole repo is missing a folder

i dont know how easy is to add a folder to the cloudflare bucket but that should fix it

[rigid silo]

will probably need another sync too, which will take a while

is it doing it for all base sprites?

[zinc shale]

base and custom

[copper osprey]

not all

[rigid silo]

havent had a chance to look yet

[zinc shale]

ill pm you

[jade oracle]

For android?

[vernal jungle]

Reset clear sprite chace after if u find unknown

[jade oracle]

How to reset?

[copper osprey]

some base sprites are fine like for example cyndaquil is fine but when it evolves to quilava then it disappears

[jade oracle]

Is it just that something is down?

[rigid silo]

that could also just be you hitting caps.
there is a max nr of sprites it can download per time unit.

[vernal jungle]

Yeah go to fixer in 2 floor Pokemon center and go reset option

[rigid silo]

will take some time to figure stuff out

[vernal jungle]

Ah, i see

[jade oracle]

And is it normal that upon downloading all the sprites went to my photo gallery?

[near yew]

Is there a download for iOS

[turbid terrace]

Hey @near yew! You cannot install this game on iPhone or iPad. This game is not a ROM Hack so Delta won't work and we are not planning to release an iOS version.

[vernal jungle]

Not for me

[idle venture]

Looks like I got sprites that have not been imported now! The blanks I had before in the pokedex are filled with sprites now 🙏

[fierce bloom]

wait what's the fix?

[jade oracle]

Im a little slow, is there anything I can do myself to fix this or is it server side or sum?

[idle venture]

i had downloads turned off, then turned it on and the sprites reappeared for me

[rigid silo]

So far, it seems to be that people who messed with files either to cheat, or with sprites have more problems than others.

the main problem of yesterday is solved. I've confirmed it multiple times myself now

if you messed with files
regardless of if it was to cheat or try to "fix" stuff yourself.

delete your install and reinstall.

Mandatory collage of A encountering stuff on a fresh install as a receipt of it working perfectly fine.

[peak granite]

My base sprites are fine now but after a fresh install I'm lacking a lot of fusion sprites

[rigid silo]

time

auto-download has a limit of X sprites per time unit Y

so simply play, they will populate

[peak granite]

Wish I could just paste the sprites from the zip but my PC can't handle it for some reason

[rigid silo]

if you've even seen a single sprite for any pokemon - your game is working fine

[idle venture]

Ymir, I got a small question that may be stupid. The zip you download is called PIFLauncher1.1.2.zip but the folder inside is called PIFLauncher1.1.0 and I was wondering if this is just bc the folder hasn't been renamed to the correct version number

[rigid silo]

Yeah probably, tbh i dont deal with the launcher.
that was the project of a staff member who stepped down - so it is kind of in limbo

[idle venture]

Okay good to know. Thank you!

[rigid silo]

they do occassionally pop in here and there to fix it when it breaks, but in general we adopted the idea of "if the launcher breaks next time we just take it down"

[lucid marsh]

I tried to get IF on my new Chromebook but apparently Wine isn’t compatible 😔

[gusty wind]

wait so are downloading sprites now fine? I can't get Carbink's base sprites to show up at all :| not a single one of them

[fierce bloom]

i have only seen the squirtmander and nothing else

[rigid silo]

they are

[fierce bloom]

does it still automatically resolve itself?

[rigid silo]

you likely just hit a cap.
the game can only download X sprites per time unit Y

[fierce bloom]

ah okay

ty for the help :)

[lucid marsh]

My Chromebook is like, an Arm Chromebook or smth

[gusty wind]

awesome, it's fixed on my end (I was ready to throw a Carbink myself lmao)

[rigid silo]

If you have seen even a single custom or base sprite for any pokemon:

--- Your game is fine and working properly.

----- the game can only download a limited number of sprites per time unit while playing, you simply hit the maximum for now.

If you have not seen even a single sprite for any pokemon:

--- Your game is not fine nor working properly.

----- This is likely the result of you messing with files, either to cheat or try to "fix" stuff. OR you have "download data" turned off in options.

step 1. Check your options in a save, turn on "download data" if it was turned off.
step 2. If that did not fix it: head to a pokecenter > talk to the man in a black suit with sunglasses > other > reset > reset sprite cache & reset alt selection
step 3. If that did not fix it: do a full reinstall.

there we go, general message

[surreal goblet]

Okay noted
game is working

[surreal goblet]

that's the situation I'm dealing with for my game

so it should be all good
-# hopefully

[rigid silo]

if you've seen any sprite you're good.
especially if you load in an older save you will notice "missing" stuff

more to catch up with, while during normal gameplay of a new run someone will realistically never hit the cap

[surreal goblet]

Yeah I reinstalled the game and load an old save

-# well the save from the previous installtion

[vital cave]

I'm only seeing the autogenerated base sprites for things, and no custom ones + base Pokemon whatsoever, I cri

[fallen summit]

time for a new tag huh?

[rigid silo]

so far its fine, we'll see how often I have to spam this

[cerulean blaze]

I'm still a bit confused, i read the tag thet was just posted yesterday when I checked it it worked again, today im only getting non-custom sprites again..but i didn't try to fix it or mess with any files

[rigid silo]

have you seen even a single sprite?

[cerulean blaze]

Posted, yesterday*

As in anything not a question mark? Yeah but nothing custom

[rigid silo]

Nothing changed since yesterday, if you saw one yesterday you've seen a single sprite.
you likely just hit a cap. can always check step 1 and 2 of the "not fine"

[whole echo]

Ok, have done all you said.
Every non-fused pokemon is question mark.
I have seen 1 (litteraly one) custom fusion.
All other fusion are non-custom, but what I find really strange is that they are showing on the pokedex as if they are custom, same sprite as the auto-generated one but credited to an artist

Ps : sorry if we're all annoying but I can't for the life of me figure it out

[rigid silo]

if you've seen even a single custom. You're fine

[cerulean blaze]

Yeah checked step 1 and 2, but still cant find the custom for the fusion I just evolved in the sprite select. Guess I hit the limit somehow and I'll just have to wait

[peak granite]

When does the limit reset? Seem to hit it pretty fast

[rigid silo]

15 sprites per 2 minutes.
in normal gameplay on a fresh save a player will realistically never hit 15 unique encounters in 2 minutes.

[peak granite]

Oh, I was thinking it applied to base sprites also

[rigid silo]

it is, my bad for the wording

[whole echo]

Well I'm on a fresh save and have 6 mons seen on my dex.
So that doesn't check out

[cerulean blaze]

Yeah I not long started playing today im and doubtful of ag ing seen 15 fusions in 1 min

[rigid silo]

cool, since you dont want to believe me.
open your game files, go into data > sprites > updated_spritesheets_cache

if there is anything written in there. then it is working

[cerulean blaze]

Ah thanks, yeah I see sprites in there thanks for explaining

[rigid silo]

then play a bit, and if after like 30 mins of playing nothing changed in that file, there might be a reset that needs to happen.
if a new line popped up - new stuff was downloaded

[fallen summit]

guessing the download cap is being pretty stretched with peopls folders being entirely emptied yesterday ?

[rigid silo]

for sure

[fallen summit]

fair, was my best guess on what the issues were last night following the fix

[rigid silo]

but its working 100% fine, did a fresh install like 30 times in the past 16 hours. all of them work perfectly fine

but yeah, old saves with empty sheets is a LOT for the system to catch up on

instant caps all the time

[fallen summit]

does leaving the game on and idle let it catchup, or does it take active playing to trigger the downloads?

[rigid silo]

active playing

[fallen summit]

ah fair

wasnt sure if it had a queue of things to download

[rigid silo]

*one user yesterday did discover an afk tactic, but frog probably wouldnt want that out there *

[fallen summit]

too much traffic if everyone did it i guess

[rigid silo]

[cerulean blaze]

Oh I got a custom again! Yay

I hope my galvanew sprite starts working again soon thpugh, the ai generated ones is soo ugly lol

[violet panther]

how long does it generally take for the like, player-side sprite cache to refresh

[rigid silo]

it only downloads stuff at a slow rate while actively playing, if you have an old save with many things it needs to fetch it will take a while.

[violet panther]

do deleting old files help?

like, i have a few save slots i havent used in forever

like 2 ish

[rigid silo]

a fresh install on a fresh save should almost never reach the cap.
As seen by A above. Thats me testing on a fresh save + fresh install this morning

(randomizers will have more trouble too)

[violet panther]

ic ic, yeah ive def also done a few randomizers too, I'd be able to keep my save data on a fresh install right?

[rigid silo]

on windows yep

[violet panther]

word, I'd just have to make a backup of my saves folder I take it?

[rigid silo]

on windows you dont need to do anything

we hide save files

how do i get debug mode? or is that not a thing?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @nimble rivet! 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.

[cerulean blaze]

Dose your own Internet connection have an effect on how fact the sprites download? My connection is petty slow that could be why im seeing one custom them just loads of non customs

How fast*

[shy gulch]

So I'm on android, I've done a full reinstall, I open the game in joiplay for the first time and have sprites, but there's a pop up that says to restart to enable imported settings (or something close to that) then when I open the game again there are no sprites, any suggestions?

[nimble rivet]

same but on windows

[fierce crow]

so im on windows and the game will boot up then immediately crash i cant find the way to reset all lol plz help

[zinc shale]

how slow are we talking ? spritesheets are 25-50kb for each pokemon, this would be playable in 2008

[fallen summit]

?tag missingsp - there is a download cap, doesnt matter if you have 1000mb download rate, you'll still hit the cap

[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

[cerulean blaze]

Yeah I guess its not that, i just need to be patient, I keep checking back on my pokedex after every battle to see if the custom galvanew prite is back yet, we'll back to playing and waiting

[stiff arch]

The only sprites I cant see are some of the base ones like rattata and spearow

Fusions seem to be fine (I'm on android and only downloaded the game yesterday if that has anything to do with it)

[balmy igloo]

my game keeps flashing black and i dont know how to change it does anyone have any ideas that can help

[upbeat sage]

stop playing fullscreen

[upbeat sage]

that happens, just select a sprite on catch

[stiff arch]

Tried that, doesnt seem to be working

I'm looking at the the files and I dont seem to have anything in spritesheets_base

[shy gulch]

Okay so I've done another clean reinstall and the same thing happens, the sprites break completely after opening and closing joiplay, the pop-up is about enabling gamepad default settings which feels like it shouldn't be the problem?

[stiff arch]

Is there anywhere to just download the base sprite sheets?

[slow shuttle]

i'm on pc and having the same issues on a new game. squirtle, and the gift luvdisc load normally, and the fusions i've seen load normally (blue's charsaur, wild pidtata), but pidgey, rattata, & hoothoot are still question marks

[hushed warren]

for me too normal pokemon dont load only a few of them

[slow shuttle]

is there a way to know the progress on if i've hit the download cap, or to know how long the cap lingers before the downloads resume (before pausing again)?

10 minutes? 20?

[hushed warren]

help me please

[slow shuttle]

desperation doesn't help, giving good info & asking clearer questions will help get us better answers
plus i'm sure they're working on a fix atm, and they need to balance the download cap without having all the user requests make their server stutter

a new update went out recently, so everyone playing the game & getting the update are having their game ping the dev server for new sprites

at least i'm assuming this is how the problem's happening

[hushed warren]

oki

[slow shuttle]

thousands of freshly-updated games are pinging the server & asking "hey i need to load these sprites, can you hand over a copy", and the server's getting this request too many times too quickly to handle

i have only a rough idea of how the internet works, i could be 100% talking out of my ass

but i'm gonna leave my game open for like an hour, and if i still don't have my pidgey & rattata sprites, i'll close it and try again another time

[hushed warren]

oki

[abstract cypress]

Okay, I have a question about the sprite issues as well, and I've covered my bases. I talked to the help guy and reset the cache, I downloaded the full sprite pack and installed it, I have auto download on. The only sprites I consistently get issues with are base pokemon, all the fusions work fine. Is there an obvious step that I've missed somewhere or is this something else?

[junior cradle]

How dose one change buttons on the android version.

[cerulean blaze]

Starting to think i may have to do a re-install.. im al the way to fushia city now and yet I still have one of my pokemon missing its custom spite.. I mean I just keep hoping it's gonna work suddenly after doing the spite resets but nope

[zinc shale]

Just do a reinstall and dont touch anything about sprites or scripts, that works 100%, with the wait times here and there when you reach the sprite download cap

[zinc shale]

what Ymir said here

[junior cradle]

Should I mention its on the g cloud :p

[cerulean blaze]

@zinc shale is there anything special ide need to do to keep my save file?

[zinc shale]

are you on pc ?

[cerulean blaze]

@zinc shale yeah windows

[zinc shale]

then no, your save is safe, just reinstall w/e you prefer to

[magic kettle]

Is there anyway to fix this on Android?

[raw cosmos]

You have the Debug mode on ?

[magic kettle]

This is because of Joyplay it is preset

[stiff arch]

I fixed my sprites there on android, I just uninstalled and reinstalled everything including the RAR reader, and all the applications

[magic kettle]

Thx but does that mean I will lose all my progress?

[stiff arch]

I kept the old files and ported the save over, but you just load up the new files with the old save

[magic kettle]

I feel like I'm too stupid to do this right. But thanks anyway.

[nimble rivet]

heya peeps! so i just started and my charmander/s sprite has a "?" do i have to install the latest sprite pack to get it fixed?

[verbal timber]

the only thing that will for android is keep playing the game with download data turned on and be connected to the internet

i do it stutters every time i move the mouse

[verbal timber]

then do the performance stuff

[north cloak]

ok

[weary briar]

I saw something about it apparently being fixed?

[verbal timber]

just, be patient, and keep playing, the game can only download x amount of sprites at y interval until it hits z cap

then it has to take a break before it can download more

[verbal timber]

the nonsense of yesterday morning got resolved

now we're just back to normal sprite shenanigans

[weary briar]

Well that's good!

Should I turn back on auto download then?

[verbal timber]

yep

[weary briar]

Got it

[verbal timber]

hopefully cloudflare will be nice, but i suspect it is still being hammered with download requests

and thus is struggling to give out sprites while keeping to the cap Frog set

[slow shuttle]

ok then it is just a matter of too many requests getting sent to the servers

[verbal timber]

that is my theory

I can't prove that

tldr: keep playing the game with download data turned on, game will grab sprites as it is able

[slow shuttle]

is it known how long the break is before it resumes downloading sprites, or if it's a range (anywhere from X-Y minutes)?

[verbal timber]

nope

only Frog knows all those numbers

[slow shuttle]

fair

i'm assuming he set stuff up with reasonable server load in mind
"keep things level internally, even if folks have to deal with it for a lil bit"

[verbal timber]

yeah, that was what 6.3 beta was for mostly

he wanted to dial the numbers in so it'd keep to a point where he wouldn't need to pay more for the hosting service than he already is

[slow shuttle]

keep things on the backend a bit tighter

makes sense

do you know if the game will only download sprites if the game is open, or will it resume later even if the game's closed?

infinitefusion is taking a whopping

1.8% of my memory

[verbal timber]

game has to be open

and you have to be playing

i.e., battling, fusing mons, etc.

[slow shuttle]

ahhhh

[verbal timber]

assuming you have download data turned On and have a connection to the internet

[slow shuttle]

i can't just have the exe minimized, and wait in oak's lab until all my sprites are sourced

[verbal timber]

sadly no

I "think"

and I phrase that carefully, the game may also download sprites during the title screen to some degree

but since most people have problems with base sprites more than anything else, that wouldn't really do much

since...well

those are the ones that end up being ? sprites

[slow shuttle]

it'd at least be trying to source 2 base sprites every few seconds, right? that'd be a higher rate than me going through the game & seeing a new base pokemon every minute or so

in terms of prompting the game to source the data for base pokemon, keeping it on the title screen might be the best play

[verbal timber]

can't 100% confirm that

it worked that way with the old repo

but that one was 100% free and didn't have the same restriction

[slow shuttle]

this shit is fascinating to me
i love dissecting the code-guts of stuff like this

i wonder if putting the game at higher speeds would make it pull the data faster (when it's not on break from hitting the cap)

[verbal timber]

in theory, yes

in practice...

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-know-gif-18174494

[slow shuttle]

hard to tell since i can't know if my game's on pause from cloudflare's cap, but that's what i'm gonna do
just leave it on the title screen since that seems to be the best way to get constant base-sprite requests

[verbal timber]

this is why I made a suggestion to have the game install packaged with the current existing sprite sheets, sure it may make the install larger and take up more space, but it would help keep something like this from happening again

or mitigate it at any rate

[slow shuttle]

how many kb would a spritesheet of all the sprites be?

rough ballpark numbers

[verbal timber]

good question

would vary for each sheet, since some mons don't have many customs [both base and fusion]

but figure maybe at total...could add another 1-2GB of data as a safe ballpark [for all sprite sheets]

[slow shuttle]

wb just for unfused sprites?

[slender sierra]

Hi, am new, on Android, followed the guide to the T.

Basically no vanilla sprites, like 2-3, and same for custom sprites. Pretty much all ? And auto generated.

What I am getting here is that the servers are under heavy load, downloads are limited over periods, so just be patient and play the game, the sprites will eventually download?

[slow shuttle]

you got it 100%

[slender sierra]

Fairo

[slow shuttle]

i'm testing my theory that the best way to get the game to send more "gimme base sprites" requests is to leave it on the title screen until the left & right pokemon stop being ?s

[verbal timber]

maybe less but would still allot for 1-2GB of space just to cover adding in new mons

[slender sierra]

Keep it up peeps. Doing gods work

Can you download the Sprite packs on mobile?

[verbal timber]

not recommended

mainly because the only pack that would be useful for mobile involves chucking 140K+ images onto your phone

[smoky gate]

Does anybody know how long it should take for the sprites to fully download? I'm on a relatively good phone and not trying to encounter 70 Pokemon that look like crap before I actually get to see decent sprites

?tag roms

[pearl magnet]

Infinite Fusion is NOT a rom, it is a fangame! Read below for more info on the differences.

Rom/ISO = A direct copy of a game taken from an official disc or cartridge. These require an emulator or official hardware to play.

Rom Hack = An edited version of a ROM/ISO. These usually require adding a patch to the original ROM/ISO. (ROM + Radical Red Patch = Radical Red Rom Hack) These require an emulator or official hardware to play.

Fan Game = A custom created game file with more freedom and variety than ROM Hacks. These use specific game engines, programs and files to build upon the official games base mechanics. [ex: Pokemon Infinite Fusion] These can not be played via an emulator or official hardware. Instead, it is a simple .exe (executable) file.

Remember! Resources to illegal content, including ROMs, is not allowed in the server as stated by Rule 6 of our #rules

[verbal timber]

tldr: nope

[sterile pivot]

Fair.

[hushed warren]

[verbal timber]

as stated, the only pack that is useful is the big one

[smoky gate]

I'm going to see if I can bite the bullet, along with my storage

[verbal timber]

and that has 140k+ png files in it

we can't recommend that for mobile

especially since the game files for mobile no longer comes with a nomedia file to stop them from plopping into your gallery

trust me, you don't want to go that route

we've had a few people do it and the only fix they could do was either sit and delete all the pngs or factory reset their phone

[slow shuttle]

well have fun answering the same question hundreds of times

i'm gonna do smth else for a couple hours and hope that does some work to help fix it

[arctic minnow]

sprites still not fixed?

well no one else has had an issue like that, so I'm inclined to go that direction in terms of sprites not loading correctly unless you update the game [which you shouldn't be doing anyway]

[storm violet]

because it seems like the sprites do load, just don't display? they start working the second i close the game, update it with the .bat file and reopen it,

[verbal timber]

try just closing and reopening the game

don't do the update thing

you aren't supposed to do that

[shy spoke]

Question: does the game have to be open for the new sprites to download? I grabbed the full package and moved the new file over

[verbal timber]

unless an actual game update has come out

[storm violet]

it seems to be the only thing that works for now, but i'll see if something else works.

[verbal timber]

and by full package I assume you mean the full sprite pack

did you just move only the fusion sprites? i mean that will fix those, but won't touch the missing base sprites

[shy spoke]

yeah, though now that I think about it I should move the sprites out of the folder (i just dragged the folder in...)

[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.

[verbal timber]

ctrl+a
cut
then pasta

into the listed folder

for base sprites, they are tucked in the Other folder

though you may want to load the game up first with just the fusion sprites in that folder

your device will freak out

[brittle vale]

I updated the game today and all the sprites I chose for my pokemon reseted and all others slots are empty

[marsh ginkgo]

I am getting this pop-up when extracting the files again after deleting everything what's happening? it also seems to be keeping my old saves even though I deleted it?

[verbal timber]

why are you extracting over pre-existing files

[smoky gate]

I manually downloaded the files and it all worked out

[verbal timber]

you shouldn't be doing that

[marsh ginkgo]

No i deleted all of my files but this is poping up

[smoky gate]

Thanks you mordrid

[verbal timber]

then you didn't delete them

or your game files are somewhere touched by onedrive/cloudsync

i'd recommend a clean install

and saves remain because they are stashed separate from the game files

?tag save

[pearl magnet]

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

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

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.

[arctic minnow]

when im doing the steps for importing the sprites its not pasting nor copying

do i have to unzip the file

[junior cradle]

Was there a fix to this?

[storm violet]

does this apply to the base sprites as well?

they should be pre-installed?

[raven gull]

okay so i don' understand why but a lot of pokémon in my game are appearing with no sprites (even some of the original pokémon that are not fused)

instead they appear as a white circle with a "?" in the center of it. Is there a way to fix that, cause i feel like it's not normal

[storm violet]

that means my device or internet shouldn't really affect them anyway right?

[brittle vale]

"THE GAME ALREADY COMES WITH ALL AVAILABLE SPRITES. YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO THIS." Im confused, I played the game last year, the site says all sprites are included but the sprites I used are missing in the game

[arctic minnow]

so do i just wait for the custom spirtes to come back when ive hit the download cap

[verbal timber]

game no longer comes stock with sprites

[storm violet]

so that thing is outdated then?

[verbal timber]

yes

pre6.6. it was accurate

but for some reason with 6.6 it is no longer the case

yeah there are sprites but the ones I used arent there but on the infifte dex website the sprites are still there

When asking for help, please be as specific as possible! We cannot help you if you don't give us the information we need!

Info we need:

1. Explain the issue. Do not just say "Game won't work"! This does not help us at all!
2. Where did you get the game files from? Discord, google doc from discord?
3. Are you using the Launcher?
4. Did you update to 6.4 from old files or install in a new folder?
5. What version are you on? (Open the game, title screen says)
6. What device are you playing on? (Windows, Android, Mac, etc.)
7. Send a screenshot if applicable. Often times, it is hard to describe your issue. Send a screenshot so we can see what you are seeing. Especially if you are getting an error.

New sprites seemed to have stopped loading? Auto download is still on

[static stag]

Yeah I cleared my cache and I'm still not loading Togekiss/Gengar

[verbal timber]

you already have a folder

[covert night]

I just updated to 6.62 via the launcher and the game opens and then immediately closes, anyone else getting this issue?

[verbal timber]

that is unzipped

[verbal timber]

?tag olddata

[pearl magnet]

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

[verbal timber]

you don't need to extract anything you already have an unzipped folder

[marsh ginkgo]

I have deleted the folder before I have been following the step to do that, that folder is the new folder created by me unziping the folder

[verbal timber]

ok, so why are you trying to extract again on top of your new extracted folder

open the extracted folder

everything should be there

that you need

[marsh ginkgo]

I showed the extraction menu to show exactly where it was extracted

[verbal timber]

...

you have a zipped folder for InfiniteFusion
and an unzipped folder for InfiniteFusion

why are you trying to extract the zipped folder when you already have an unzipped one

[marsh ginkgo]

I didn't have the unzipped folder I open the menu to show exactly where I had extraced it, I wasn't extracting the folder twice

[verbal timber]

you do now though

the new red line is your zipped folder
the green one is the unzipped folder

you don't need to extract the zipped folder because you already did

you told me you did

[marsh ginkgo]

yes I know that, i only showed the extraction menu to show exactly where I extracted it

[verbal timber]

open the unzipped folder

the green one

[idle zephyr]

This also happened to me when I first downloaded the game

As it was extracting

Then again, idk if it changes anything substantial whether you skip it or replace it

[cerulean blaze]

Is there a way to back up my save data.....just incase I lose it if I try to reinstall, I know you guys said it should keep the save data but im just sort of nervous from losing all my progress

From possibly*

[zinc shale]

your save data is in %appdata%/roaming/infinitefusion

as long as you dont format your pc or reinstall windows you will not lose your save but if you want to make a backup yourself, its there

dude wtf I installed the whole sprite pack followed the instructions and when I pasted the sprites the custombattlers folder disappeard

[silk beacon]

sorry for askign just wanna make sure. Some sprites work - both for bas epokemons and fusions. but some base pokemons does nto show - i see ? mark instead. also some fusions doesnt show at all. just blank space. so if i got it right i should cotinue playing for it to slowly download or soemthing else? playing already for like 2h at least and still like this, i have my downloand on and i didn't do anythign with files etc .

[brittle vale]

new update completly destroyed sprites even reseting the cache doesnt work

^ignore the bit about the game coming with sprites

it isn't accurate to 6.6+

everything else is true though

[brittle vale]

i maunaly imported it and it disappeard never saw something like this happen before

[verbal timber]

did you move the entire folder, or just the sprites?

because you are supposed to move the sprites inside the folder

into another folder inside the custombattlers folder

[brittle vale]

i copied everything with control a and control c and pasted it into the folder

[silk beacon]

oki. so just need to give a time if i get it right. just to play and wait for it to slowly come back.

[rigid valve]

what mean: You just hit a download gap?

[brittle vale]

like this

[verbal timber]

ok and you placed all that in the Sprites to import folder?

[brittle vale]

yeah and after a few minutes teh transfer was done and the folder disappeard

[verbal timber]

self explanitory, game can't infinitely download sprites, it has a cap so Frog doesn't have to pay a bunch of money to the repo host

[verbal timber]

the folder those were all in or your main custombattler folder?

if the folder they were in vanished im not too worried

[brittle vale]

the main custum battler folder dispapperd

[verbal timber]

screenshot your graphics folder

for the game

the inside

[brittle vale]

here

its missing

[verbal timber]

odd

[brittle vale]

yeah im confused too. all I wanted was to have all sprites without donwloading them ingame for hours

[verbal timber]

this is why i partially dislike the launcher since things are a bit odd with that

[rigid valve]

but it will continue to download the sprite or I will have missing sprite from now on?

[verbal timber]

it will go back to grabbing sprites after an unknown amount of time

[rigid valve]

thx

[junior cradle]

Did that but It wont uh show the sprites

[brittle vale]

I dont understand why the programmers dont include all sprites into the main folder when downloading it. because you still have not all after downloading and Im speaking about sprites that I used last year

[verbal timber]

because it makes the game files larger which can cause issues during the download

[brittle vale]

what exactly do you mean

[peak granite]

so i understand importing the fused sprites from the manual download, but what about the sprites from the "Other" folder? will just the ones in the basesprites folder do?

[verbal timber]

i"d recommend you do a clean install and this time use the lightweight installer

[verbal timber]

those are sprites for the base dex

[junior cradle]

Moved them to the to import file

[verbal timber]

if you want to chuck those into the Sprites to import folder oyu can

[peak granite]

And the base sprites should just load after that?

[brittle vale]

should I delete everyhting except my safe files

[verbal timber]

for the lightweight just download and extract here [here being your downloads folder], game comes prepackaged

saves are stashed away from the game files on windows

you won't have sprite files, but that will be an easy fix [hopefully]

[brittle vale]

but my safes are in ghe game file

[verbal timber]

no

you have a shortcut

ah Isee

^this is where windows stashes saves

you could delete the entire game folder and not touch these

only way these vanish is if:

• you yeet them manually
• you factory reset your pc
• you reinstall windows

[brittle vale]

so now I restared the pc after I deleted the entire folder

[brittle vale]

can you tag me in a link to your screenshot

[verbal timber]

i don't have a current screenshot of that

would need to redownload the files

but i tested it last night

[brittle vale]

okay

[verbal timber]

but just get the download from the lightweight guide
extract here [here being your downloads folder]

then open the new infinitefusion folder and you should be good to go [aside from manually importing sprites]

which I can guide you through, but we'll start with a smaller portion first to make sure your graphics folder won't vanish into the fabric of the void again

[peak granite]

I just pasted the base sprites for unfused pokemon into the import folder, and it said they were imported after launching the game, however I'm still seeing missing sprites for unfused pokemon. Is this supposed to work for what I'm trying to achieve (getting the sprites for all the base pokemon)?

[verbal timber]

do the reset cache again and then check alts

[verbal timber]

if you have 0 base sprites, then something may be borked with the full pack

and I'd need to poke a sprite manager about that

[peak granite]

I've still got the ones that were loading earlier today

[brittle vale]

so right now hes downloading the installer in the "download" folder.

at the end I want the game to be on another hard drive then the normal windows one

[verbal timber]

uh

no

[peak granite]

I'll give that a try. Does that also mean I'll have to set sprites for each pokemon manually?

[verbal timber]

permission issues can get in the way of that

[verbal timber]

anything you have yes

but other stuff don't worry too much about

[peak granite]

Ah ok sweet. thx

[brittle vale]

I have 3 hard drives. c is the main one where only windows and pictures are. d and e wehre I have games. cant I just install it on one of these?

[verbal timber]

the game can run into permission issues by having it somewhere other than your main drive in the downloads folder

[brittle vale]

okay

can I just hit you up for a call? with a stream so you can guide me trough

[verbal timber]

on the low end it could maybe just lightly freak out about saying it lacks permission to use a sprite, on the high end it could maybe go full blown crazy and say it lacks permission to run

we don't do that

[brittle vale]

okay

guide tells me to install it in downloads but shouldnt I just create a folde

in c

[peak granite]

It worked! Not really an issue but it does bother me that the imported sprites don't slot into the normal sprite slots (Poorly worded but I mean the ones with the artist credits.) Is there an easy fix for that at all? I can live if not so no biggie

[verbal timber]

the guide is a bit dated, just do what I mentioned

extract it in downloads

it comes in its own folder

or should

[verbal timber]

not really, the credits sometimes get messed up with manual import

[peak granite]

Ah, I had a feeling. Thanks for the help anyway, I saw you were in here yesterday helping everyone and it's crazy to me you're still at it a day later. I wouldn't be able to handle that at all rofl

[verbal timber]

https://tenor.com/view/one-punch-gif-14439851

[brittle vale]

ähm I extracted it in downloads and windows made a sound and there is no folder in downloads

[verbal timber]

then it may have not worked

which means there's a chance your device is stopping it

we can't help fix that

[rigid silo]

Manual import nowadays simply duplicates every single entry.

1 with the credit that is normally filled with autodownload

1 with the imported sprite and thus without credit

During normal gameplay this wont affect most people. But they will need to reset alt selection at the help man after importing

Then the game will pick from the available ones on encounter

Rather than a selected missing one

[peak granite]

I was just about to ask about that

[verbal timber]

oof

[grim elm]

Some sprites are missing from my game. Larvesta and Zorua are the ones i have noticed. In their place is a circle with a question mark in it

the game doesn't currently come with sprites

[rigid silo]

If you have seen even a single custom or base sprite for any pokemon:

--- Your game is fine and working properly.

----- the game can only download a limited number of sprites per time unit while playing, you simply hit the maximum for now.

If you have not seen even a single sprite for any pokemon:

--- Your game is not fine nor working properly.

----- This is likely the result of you messing with files, either to cheat or try to "fix" stuff. OR you have "download data" turned off in options.

step 1. Check your options in a save, turn on "download data" if it was turned off.
step 2. If that did not fix it: head to a pokecenter > talk to the man in a black suit with sunglasses > other > reset > reset sprite cache & reset alt selection
step 3. If that did not fix it: do a full reinstall.

but also this^

[rigid silo]

Just pinged the repo, its working fine

Tested on a fresh install this morning

Also fine

nothing is broken as of now

[verbal timber]

aside from the usual

[verbal timber]

if push comes to shove, though I don't overly like doing it, I may just recommend anyone not on android to grab the altdownload since that does come with sprites

[rigid silo]

People just hitting caps more than usual. Since the problem yesterday nuked all sprites they have.

Thus on existing saves the download needs to catch up, hitting caps instantly

[verbal timber]

par for the course

I grabbed what you posted for a screenshot so I can blast it as needed

unless we can replace the sprite issue tag with that info

[peak granite]

Mine was working earlier today but new sprites have stopped appearing since

[grim elm]

so how does the game purge old sprites to make room for new ones. im on android btw

[verbal timber]

it doesn't

the game only purged sprites yesterday because the repo went haywire

[peak granite]

Where can I find this alt download

[rigid silo]

if you are doubting yourself and or me. Help man, other, reset, reset sprite cache & reset alt sprite selection

[verbal timber]

otherwise if a sprite gets replaced here with a new one [for whatever reason] the sprite sheet gets updated and then you get that new sheet which overwrites the old one

[rigid silo]

Your games are fine.

Nothing is broken.

[verbal timber]

don't worry about the alt download

keeping that as a last ditch fix

because that is what it is

it is only really meant to be used if your game files aren't working correctly

[rigid silo]

Not gonna release the alt when the game is not broken.

[grim elm]

So the game will always have these missing sprites?

[verbal timber]

no

[rigid silo]

Please read the message before

If you have seen even a single custom or base sprite for any pokemon:

--- Your game is fine and working properly.

----- the game can only download a limited number of sprites per time unit while playing, you simply hit the maximum for now.

If you have not seen even a single sprite for any pokemon:

--- Your game is not fine nor working properly.

----- This is likely the result of you messing with files, either to cheat or try to "fix" stuff. OR you have "download data" turned off in options.

step 1. Check your options in a save, turn on "download data" if it was turned off.
step 2. If that did not fix it: head to a pokecenter > talk to the man in a black suit with sunglasses > other > reset > reset sprite cache & reset alt selection
step 3. If that did not fix it: do a full reinstall.

[grim elm]

oh, its effectively on cooldown

[rigid silo]

Yep

[verbal timber]

oh that reminds me, Ymir, you or someone else will need to update the guide for Lightweight since it comes prepackaged

[grim elm]

what is the typical cooldown time?

[verbal timber]

unless the plan is to eventually revert the current download with the old one

[rigid silo]

Yeah already got a new link from frog, we're also gonna host the download ourselves now

[verbal timber]

we don't know

only Frog does

[peak granite]

Ok, I just did a clean install and that seems to have fixed everything. It's just weird, I was playing earlier it was fine, and without touching any of the files, new sprites stopped appearing, even after talking to the help man.

[strange thicket]

I manually imported both all the base pokemon sprites and the fusion sprites from the Full Sprite Pack into the "import sprites" folder, started the game to make sure I got the "sprites were successfully imported" message, then went into my save, reset the sprite cache+alt sprite collection with the help man, then saved and exited out to the main menu to quit the game properly

When I restarted, I was still seeing a lot of the gray ? circles on the title screen (It, while not being all of them, seems to be exclusively the base pokemon that are still getting borked, the fusions are showing up fine.)

[verbal timber]

and he has chosen to not share

[grim elm]

ok, thank you

[verbal timber]

the full pack atm doesn't seem like a good option to fix the problem

least going off what Ymir said

[jovial comet]

I downloaded the full pack. Only issue is base sprites for me.

[verbal timber]

see what I just wrote

[jovial comet]

Yea.

[strange thicket]

I have download data on, and I would think the sprite download wouldn't be the issue because I just added in all the sprites (including the base pokemon sprites)

At this point, should I try reinstalling or just wait for a fix?

[verbal timber]

a fix may be weeks/months away since the dev is multitasking

I'd just reinstall and not bother with the full pack

[strange thicket]

Alright then, I'll give reinstalling a try

I just need to delete the game folder and then redownload the game, right?

[late briar]

i have a bug where some pokemon are question marks how do i fix that im on v.6.6.2

[rigid silo]

Downloading the full pack is not a good idea. It will just duplicate all entries.

[rigid silo]

[late briar]

thx

[high hemlock]

sadly just learnt that the hard way after coming in here late lol but its all good lil dupes never hurt no body other then my pc storage

[digital wasp]

I know some of the sprites are missing and there is a problem with it and it is being fixed. Some of my sprites are appearing but bigger than they should be and off center so you cannot see the whole sprite. Is this the same issue or something separate?

[rigid silo]

What version are you on? And are you on modded files by chance?

[digital wasp]

6.6.2, and no modded files

[rigid silo]

Interesting, probably give it a reinstall to make sure files are fine

[digital wasp]

Will do, thank you for the help!

[brittle vale]

dude im going crazy

[silk beacon]

i know i am probably dumb but how do i reinstall safely O.O never did that before

[digital wasp]

Sorry if this is already answered, but is there a way to reinstall the game without getting rid of my save file?

[brittle vale]

i now have the main folder copied into the main folder wtf

[stable beacon]

how does the ask a bot channel works? like can i ask him for some tips about fusion? and how?

[verbal timber]

saves are not tied to your game folder unless you are on android or are on steamdeck and need to reinstall from scratch

[digital wasp]

Thank you!

[verbal timber]

clean install it is

[umbral hull]

I am not on the game yet but as I can see, there’s an issue with sprites again ? 😭

[verbal timber]

if you are using the lightweight installer, just download and extract here [here being your downloads folder]

[rigid silo]

Nope, all good

[umbral hull]

Oh I played this morning and it was fine

So nvm

[umbral hull]

I only did a mistake, importing the fusioned mons sprites

So now some sprites appear twice in the choose sprite menu

But other than that it doesn’t cause visual issues

[verbal timber]

this

[late briar]

i reset all my sprites and there still question marks

[umbral hull]

Yeah I did that

[verbal timber]

the full pack isn't recommended atm

[umbral hull]

My game isn’t broken so let’s leave it like this 😭

[verbal timber]

and that is why you have duplicated sprites

[umbral hull]

It’s just in the choice menu so it’s not a big a deal rn

[sharp pawn]

I'm curious, who changed the files and why?

[cerulean blaze]

Im reaaaaly sorry if this is a stupid question but I dont play many games on my PC, mainly my switch, when people say reinstall it, do you mean literally just delete everything infinite fusion related? Or is there something specific like a file I need to delete. Cos I dont see how deleting everything including the files that have my save data in it..and then re downloading it would result in me still having my save data...can someone explain how that works? Sorry if its a dumb question

[idle zephyr]

Because the save files are stored somewhere else, not in the InfiniteFusion folder, which is the one you need to delete

[verbal timber]

your save is not tied to your game folder unless you are on android or steamdeck and you need to reinstall from scratch

[idle zephyr]

What's in the folder is a shortcut to the save files

[verbal timber]

?tag save

[pearl magnet]

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

• The game folder includes a shortcut to the location above named Savefile you can double click. Each save corresponds to a slot (e.g., Slot A saves as File A.rxdata).
• To transfer, copy the save file to the same location on the new device.
• For non-Windows devices, refer to the workaround guide for your device: [HERE](#tech-support message)
  https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/700790080175996938/1327016763719684226/image.png?ex=6781882b&is=678036ab&hm=f10dd293ef9e2c0e6a8b1944e6a5a2e0e5539ca0fe75de7a0f948414df861b88&

[verbal timber]

as for the files

aside from saves

[cerulean blaze]

I cant see anything called app data but I do see one called savefiles

[verbal timber]

that is a shortcut

[idle zephyr]

Yes, that's the shorcut

[verbal timber]

to where your saves are stored

[idle zephyr]

Which I think leads to the AppData path?

[verbal timber]

appdata is normall hidden

[cerulean blaze]

Ok so ill copy it over just incase, thank you

[verbal timber]

that won't do anything

your saves are fine

again, that is a shortcut to where your saves are stored

deleting that won't delete your saves

[idle zephyr]

Imagine it's a link to them

Not the saves themselves

[cerulean blaze]

Oh ok, can I asked where they are stored?

[violet spire]

Just wanna thank in caps all those who made the patch for the missing sprites, so...

THANK YOU!!

[verbal timber]

i already poked the bot for that

they are stashed in roaming appdata

[cerulean blaze]

But won't that get deleted too if I delete everything?

[idle zephyr]

No

[cerulean blaze]

As I said im not familiar so sorry for the confusion just want to be careful is all

[brittle vale]

so I downloaded it and can play the gamebut I skipped the part where i clicked on install or update in the file.

[idle zephyr]

The shortcut yes, but that's just for ease of access to you. The save files are actually in AppData

[verbal timber]

no need to

the current lightweight download has the files already sorted

so you don't need to run the installer

[idle zephyr]

You can try clicking the shortcut (Savefile) so it leads you to where your save files are stored and back them up if you want

[verbal timber]

your saves will be fine unless:

• you manually delete them
• you factory reset your pc
• you reinstall windows

any of those would wipe them entirely, deleting the game folder will do nothing to your saves

[cerulean blaze]

I only want to reinstall the game not windows

[icy yarrow]

how does Aegislash's sprite work? is it one sprite for each form?

[verbal timber]

it doesn't change form visually

[pearl magnet]

No tag stancechange found.

[verbal timber]

hm

[icy yarrow]

oh okay thx

[verbal timber]

could have sworn there was a tag for that

might be remembering wrong

[cerulean blaze]

Ok im gonna delete and reinstall I'll let you guys know how it goes hopefuly I'll get the sprite i like bad. Thanks for the advice

[silk beacon]

i just did that. i can tell it worked - the sprites i did not see before i see now but irony is that the ones that were working before are not showing yet XDD but i think its mather of time now only fo rthem to finish downloading (it even asked me if i wanna download new sprites and that they will now while i am playing) good luck

[subtle summit]

how do i change it to full screen

[verbal timber]

you don't

?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.

[verbal timber]

it can/will bork something

so avoid using it

[arctic minnow]

how long will it take for my download cap to increase

[verbal timber]

there is no increase

the cap is what it is and only frog knows it

he keeps it that way so he doesn't have to pay more to the host of the repo than he already is

[arctic minnow]

then will the auto gens just stay like that

[arctic minnow]

what does he mean by "for now"

[verbal timber]

?

oh that

basically the cap has a timer

[arctic minnow]

ohhh

so how long is it roughly

[verbal timber]

only Frog knows

and he has chosen to not share

[arctic minnow]

so i should just wait for the customs to come back

[verbal timber]

just keep playing with download data turned on, assuming you've already done what that message says

game will grab sprites as it is able

which may take a hot minute since the repo is being hammered with download requests

[arctic minnow]

how should i check i have download data turned on

[cerulean blaze]

What if we all as a community payed for the cap to be increased, like though patron or something?

Patreon*

[arctic minnow]

most of the players are kids

[verbal timber]

do you want the game to get Nintendoed

[cerulean blaze]

Ah true thats fair

[verbal timber]

because that is a fast way to get the game Nintendoed

[verbal timber]

load up a save
menu

options
download data

turn it on, confirm, exit out of the menu and save

that will keep it on [for that save] until you turn it off

[civic edge]

Base sprites not downloading

Fused sprites work fine

but base sprites not downloading at all

this game still ha ing issues?

and yes I already did the on/off save etc method as well as clearing sprite cache

[prime hemlock]

Weird sprites are gone again they worked like a hour ago

And nope havent touched data

Or files

[civic edge]

bro lmao I had my game on but afk for 1hr

come back, Ekans sprite is still a ?

its not my internet

so its either a game bug or server issue

which is it

[wintry cloud]

you have to actually play, not just afk

[civic edge]

im playing, clearly

[prime hemlock]

Oh

[civic edge]

otherwise I wouldnt notice the missing sprite

[brittle vale]

yeah but who wants to play and sprites are missing or still not loading

[prime hemlock]

Ekans now has a sprite

After the second ecounter

Guess u just play and wait until u have seen em all atleast once?

[civic edge]

no

have seen ekans a bunch of times

[verbal timber]

you need to be actively playing

game won't just download sprites while you afk

[prime hemlock]

Weird mine was a ? Just now and now it has a sprite

[civic edge]

you're missing the point noob

[verbal timber]

ok and bye

no reason to assist someone being rude

[prime hemlock]

Puruv what u playing on?

[wintry cloud]

well, that was unnecessary

[civic edge]

the screenshot some1 shows said "there is a max amount of simultaneous downloads"

hence I said I afk'ed for 1hr and continued playing

[cerulean blaze]

Yeah ypu need to be activitly finding new sprites, i noticed when I enter a new area and do something the frist sprites I get work fine, then I probably hit the cap and it takes a bit till I see some more customs, I can handle that, already got a team i like, but i want to fix the sprites for them. Cos one just won't come back? Currently reinstalling to see if that works

[civic edge]

so there could be no remaining leftover downloads from previous encounters

low IQ

[cerulean blaze]

No need to be rude they are trying to help you

[civic edge]

yeah you're right but kinda skuffed to have 3 people tell me the same thing without reading the context, which is a screenshot someone showed me

either way, base sprite arent downloading

[verbal timber]

if you read then you will see the bit that says "You likely hit the download cap"

[civic edge]

• download limit seems not the reason (afk 1hr and continued playing)

bro mordrid

[verbal timber]

?tag missingsp

[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

[civic edge]

download cap of what

[verbal timber]

beyond this I am done assisting you

[civic edge]

1 sprite per hour?

explain the "download cap" then

capped by what and when

I started the game 2hrs ago. Noticed missing base sprites from the start. Multiple encounters same pokemon.

AFK'd 1hr.

Started again, still same missing sprites

and you're telling me its because of a download cap

either the download cap is 1-5sprites per hr per IP address

[rigid silo]

You're done

[civic edge]

or you never finished high school

[astral maple]

Has a fix been found yet?

[rigid silo]

Goodbye!

[civic edge]

later

[verbal timber]

got fixed yesterday

repo is back to working order

just a bit under the pressure of having a bunch of people tell it via the game to download sprites

it is struggling to keep up, so be patient

[hot moss]

Should I turn off the download sprites before I reset the Sprite cache with the Help Man?

[cerulean blaze]

Uh oh... i clicked on the ziped file and clicked extract all...and things seamed to be going well but now its stuck at 26% and not moving..

[verbal timber]

give it a bit

sometimes it can get stuck, if it hasn't moved in 5-10 minutes, restart your pc and try again with nothing else going on

[wintry cloud]

well.. this channel is never not entertaining, to say the least

[cerulean blaze]

Ah yeah it moved 27%.. dont remember it taking this long last time bleh, this sub is entertaining to just watch from the background sometimes while I wait lol

[hot moss]

If I just extract all again is that essentially reinstalling or no?

I'm still missing sprites even after the Help man twice

[shadow cairn]

so if I have some sprites but not all how long does it take for it to completely install?

really sorry because I bet there is an answer in here already

[hot moss]

If it makes you feel better I also feel like I am asking dumb questions lol

Also sorry if that pinged you

[shadow cairn]

its cool mate

:D

[verbal timber]

you may still be missing sprites, but as long as you have some, your game is working correctly

the repo is just being hammered with download requests for sprites and isn't able to keep up

[hot moss]

Oh, okay. Thank you for clearing that up for me 🙂

[verbal timber]

the base game files, depends on your device but maybe like 15 mins or so

the sprites....

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

[shadow cairn]

Thanks!@

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[verbal timber]

can't do much of anything about that

[cerulean blaze]

It's saying it's probably gonna take 3 hours urgh, that's a bit concerning. Don't know what's different from last tome

[shadow cairn]

(this was comedic effect btw)

[hot moss]

When I first installed mine said it was gonna take 3 hours to a day and it only took maybe 45mins? Lol

[verbal timber]

extraction is heavily based on your device, thus why it is smart to minimize how much crap you have going on in the background

[cerulean blaze]

Well at the rate it's going with like 1 percent every 2 mins ish 3 hours sounds and right

Im not doing anything else except extraction

[wintry cloud]

ah yes the download, my favorite part of this game

.

.

[cerulean blaze]

I downloaded the game once before, I should beable to still do it...right?

[verbal timber]

We can never 100% guarantee anything...except death and taxes

[crystal relic]

sooo....
i re downloaded again (i deletet something becouse im dumb) and dont let me save

i followed every step

[verbal timber]

ok new error

hm...seems to be an issue with your save

which is rare

[crystal relic]

i downloaded from the launcher

i exported with winrar

[verbal timber]

the method doesn't matter much, this is outright an issue of the save

going off past reports of this, you may have to delete your save data entirely

[crystal relic]

this?

[verbal timber]

no

I mean

?tag save

[pearl magnet]

[verbal timber]

^these

anything in that folder would need to go

[crystal relic]

this?

[inner grail]

is the sprite repo issue actually resolved? cause some people are saying it isnt, but most people cant tell the difference between the repo issue and normal sprite jank it seems

[verbal timber]

what happened yesterday got fixed

[inner grail]

thought so

thanks

[verbal timber]

where the repo went awol and decided to not only not let sprites get downloaded but actively yeet sprites

[inner grail]

so any sprite issues going forwrads are just caches, poor connections and download caps

[verbal timber]

yep

[inner grail]

thought as much, thanks

[crystal relic]

i deleted the 3 files there

is that good?

[torpid swan]

my infinite splicers keep disappearing after couple of uses. anyone else had that issue?

[crystal relic]

maybe it has to do with it
but
when i oppened the laucher, the program skip the install part

[cerulean blaze]

😦 I dont think the extraction is gonna work this time....I think my systems memory just isnt enough and it cant handle it despite being able a few days ago when is started playing. It is a very old laptop but still..

[livid knot]

whats the link to download the game-

[verbal timber]

restart your laptop and try again

[verbal timber]

known bug, no fix

[crystal relic]

so, when i oppened the launcher, i dont show me this

[verbal timber]

the launcher comes stock with the game files

[crystal relic]

it was directly into "play"

[verbal timber]

you don't need to install anymore

[crystal relic]

but this was in the launcher steps

[verbal timber]

the guide is a bit dated

the person who made the launcher updated the files since they aren't upkeeping it anymore

[reef quartz]

I tried adjusting my screen size via ingame, I set it to full and now its just rapidly blinking and I cant close it

[verbal timber]

?tag fullscreen

[verbal timber]

you'll have to power through until you can change it

[crystal relic]

here are he folders

the original and the extracted with winrar

[verbal timber]

open the launcher folder
then game files

you will see a already prepackaged InfiniteFusion folder

[crystal relic]

in wich one?

in the compressed?

[verbal timber]

...

in the unzipped one

[crystal relic]

ok

sorry

[crystal relic]

i am a dumb with these things, but here we are

next step

[verbal timber]

lol

you can play the game

[crystal relic]

okay, i think this time is working

YEEEEEEEEES

[crystal relic]

thx a lot pal

[cerulean blaze]

Restarting my laptop

Cos im not getting anywhere either extraction

[hot moss]

I hope my Sprites come back as I play. On another note i beat the elite four for the first time lol

[cerulean blaze]

I came back from my restart, it looked like it has all extracted.. and now i get this?

[verbal timber]

oof

[cerulean blaze]

Oh no thats a bad reaction

[verbal timber]

weird

[severe cradle]

I've been bugging for 1 hour and it still won't load the sprites, how long does it take for them all to load?

[rigid silo]

You can try the reset alt selection from my message (dont cache reset in this case).

[cerulean blaze]

Any idea what my error could mean?

[rigid silo]

Just pinged the repo again, it is still working fine.

[rigid silo]

Looks like either permissions issue or missing the file. Could you show your game folder?

[cerulean blaze]

Everything seams to be here

[warped epoch]

Hi, I'm trying to play on chromebook, but I followed the whole tutorial and it didnt work! What should I do?

[verbal timber]

https://tenor.com/view/pain-bot-all-i-know-is-pain-in-pain-gif-13783394

we can't guarantee chromebook functionality

[fathom meadow]

I've got the same problem as @Atilla

[verbal timber]

pretty much means you can't play on that device

[fathom meadow]

I've done the whole clear sprites thing too

[warped epoch]

Makes sense! Thanks for answering!

It didn't work on my mobile then I tried chromebook

[cerulean blaze]

Unable to open data/scripts.rxdata

[warped epoch]

All the sprites were not loading on mobile

[rigid silo]

Go ahead and run the "install_or_update" and then show me what that black screen says when it is done

[cerulean blaze]

Ahhh windows prevented unrecognised app from starting

[verbal timber]

click more info then run anyway

if it is a blue pop up

[cerulean blaze]

Yeah I remember now I had to do that last time too, duh, never got the error before though would have remembered that

Oh..

Still hasn't worked

[verbal timber]

same error?

[cerulean blaze]

Yeah

[verbal timber]

screenshot what the command prompt says when you run it is and it is done

[rigid silo]

please show the black screen when it is done yeah

[nimble rivet]

Has the issue been fixed?

[verbal timber]

if you mean the repo stuff from yesterday, yes

[nimble rivet]

Yayyyy

[cerulean blaze]

Ops thats not a good pic let me take a better one

[nimble rivet]

Is there a new issue?

[rigid silo]

its good enough

[verbal timber]

nope, back to the old one

[nimble rivet]

So no it hasn’t been fixed?

[verbal timber]

repo under heavy download request for sprites

[nimble rivet]

Ah

[rigid silo]

seems you didnt unzip, could you show the whole game folder? so i can see the stuff to the right of the files.

also, time to make another timestamped "here is proof shit works - just be patient and follow instructions" screenshot of my game

[verbal timber]

lol

I’m not sure if I downloaded something wrong, but all of the original Pokémon I am finding are the question marks (the three starts, and any showing up on home screen). Was there a sprite pack I was supposed to download for that?

[cerulean blaze]

This help?

[fathom meadow]

my game refuses to download the new sprites, and I tried the spite clear and nothing changed.

[cerulean blaze]

I have a unzipped file still..I did restart my laptop before it finished because it was just taking to long

And a non ziped file

[rigid silo]

ahh... that will be it

delete this stuff, and just re-unzip it and let it go

[cerulean blaze]

Ah ok

I dont think restarting fixed the issue it keeps getting to about 25% then just...slowing down till it dosent move at all

[cerulean blaze]

[fathom meadow]

It's the first

REGARDING SPRITE ISSUES:

---------------------------------

---

This is all support we can give around sprites.
The sprites are being monitored by staff and still work properly.
read this whole message carefully to know what is applicable to your situation.

IF you have seen even a single custom or base sprite for any pokemon:

--- Your game is fine and working properly.

----- the game can only download a limited number of sprites per time unit while playing, you simply hit the maximum for now.

IF you have not seen even a single sprite for any pokemon:

--- Your game is not fine nor working properly.

----- This is likely the result of you messing with files, either to cheat or try to "fix" stuff. OR you have "download data" turned off in options.

step 1. Check your options in a save, turn on "download data" if it was turned off.
step 2. If that did not fix it: head to a pokecenter > talk to the man in a black suit with sunglasses > other > reset > reset sprite cache & reset alt selection
step 3. If that did not fix it: do a full reinstall.

If you for some reason still do not believe your game is working properly:

step 1. delete your whole install
step 2. reinstall following our guide in downloads
step 3. go to a pokecenter
step 4. talk to the man in the black suit with sunglasses > other > reset > reset sprite cache
step 5. with the same man: other > reset > reset alt selection

That should fix it?

[verbal timber]

ah

[fathom meadow]

👍

[wintry cloud]

the hardest challenge of all.. reading

[cerulean blaze]

Might just leave it overnight urgh

[wintry cloud]

yikes

[nimble rivet]

What I resorted to while waiting lol

[cerulean blaze]

Yeah I dont understand why it's doing this

[rigid silo]

this seems wrong.

where did you download from and did you follow the instructions in the guide exactly?

[twin sandal]

is the sprite glitch fixed

[rigid silo]

yes

[twin sandal]

how do i download the fix?

[wintry cloud]

sigh

[rigid silo]

you dont

[wintry cloud]

read this

[cerulean blaze]

I used the link from the subreddit, dowloaded the lightweight installer, then unziped the file...exactly the steps its said

[verbal timber]

subreddit is outdated

that might be why it is jank

[cerulean blaze]

Oh

[rigid silo]

yeah okay, just get rid of it all. follow our guide in #downloads
should be much cleaner

[verbal timber]

though the lightweight guide for now can be summed up to

download
extract here [here being your downloads folder]

since it is "prepackaged"

i.e., you don't need to run the installer

[obtuse vapor]

Ah, so it does work as intended

[rigid silo]

yipyip

checked a couple mins ago again

we're monitoring it actively, all working fine

[rigid silo]

timestamped and all

[obtuse vapor]

Ah, well

Mine is Android, so...

I don't think it will work much

[rigid silo]

if you didnt mess with files during the issue - you're good

nothing to be done - you have what you need

[obtuse vapor]

Okay okay

[nimble rivet]

will sprites be okay now if i do a randomizer?

[cerulean blaze]

Trying the guid from here, it seams to just send me to the same lightweight installer I used before..looks exactly the same

[rigid silo]

but follow the steps

use the exact buttons the guide uses

[rigid silo]

yipyip, it will be rougher. as randomizer = more different unique encounters.
so you will hit caps quicker

but the repo is fine and sprites are getting downloaded properly

[nimble rivet]

if i just wait a few hours will most/all sprites be downloaded?

[rigid silo]

I'll even do a random encounter to show you that it works

[cerulean blaze]

@rigid silo i only got as far as extracting the files and i see no different instructions up until that as i did before

[verbal timber]

no guarantees of that
