How would I do that? Do I need to fully uninstall everything and lose my save?
unless you are on steamdeck or android, reinstalling won't touch your saves

So i there no way to fix it?
do steps 2-7 in the performance link
what you can of it anyway
beyond that, not really
I just downloaded infinite fusions, after booting the game and going through the opening sequence it said it would redirect me to discord but it sent me to general, and then closed itself, what do I do to actually be able to play the game?
?tag intro
Where did you get the game files from?
- The game is not asking where you heard about the game. It is asking where you downloaded the game.
- Please read what the game is asking you and answer appropriately. If you downloaded from links from this discord and is still opening discord and closing the game, you are selecting the wrong answer.
ohhhhh thank you
hello i dont know why my pokemon game lose sprites if i actualize them in the last version
Shared from Daily Sudoku Together
ty
going to battle the legendary hunter guy that just traded me a meowto and getting this popup with a crash following that
this just happens sometimes
there is no fix
dang really thats unfortunate ty though
What's going on with my game????
plug in audio
headset/headphones/speakers/earbuds/etc
I never played with anything like that but sure I can get my headphones 🤷♀️
i installed the latest version and my sprite for greninja/blaziken is gone
How is that supposed to help?!
just do it
the game needs to see/register an audio device
blame 20 year old technology
?tag resetcache
For missing sprites on the 6.6 update, talk to the help man in any Pokémon center and navigate to Advanced Options -> Other -> Reset -> Clear Sprite Cache. Video
Uh okay it actually worked
you would have needed some kind of audio device registered to your pc in the past to play this game
otherwise that same error would have occured
thank you
@prime tundra and I are in a call and she doesn’t have the sound of the game anymore.
How is that normal?
is the sound off?
Nope
that is a bug that every once in awhile happens
the game is still detecting an audio device so it works fine, even if the audio is borked
But it’s boring a game without audio!
best bet there would be fix game via help man, save, close game, and reopen game
if that fails then maybe restart the device being used
after that it would fall into bug report territory
It actually worked wow. Thanks a lot
and since that is a bit rare, it is hard to diagnose the problem and fix it
I closed and reopened the game, the sound is back
i can't fix everything
But you fixed my problem
Please help, my game keeps crashing, making my screen flicker and not letting me do anything.
I have a switch running cfw android and it gets stuck on a black screen after the opening animation but the theme song still plays and none of the controls work

we can't help
I turned of my wifi and I got to the “new game” options menu and I’m going to update joiplay to see if anything else changes
good luck with that, the game needs specific versions of joiplay and rpgmaker to work
anything outside the ones we offer in our guide may not work correctly or at all
Ok
The remove button never showed on my gamepad settings after I turned on the option for bluetooth controllers so I thought it needed updated
But besides that it runs fine
I just downloaded the launcher and i already had the game and updated the game thru the launcher and the launcher and game wont open can someone help

Is this supposed to be possible? Making him walk that far when he sees you?
In this instance, the lilypad where he is standing started battle, and he didn't come after me, but when i moved to the right, he then started the battle
?tag olddata
The most likely reason your game is opening and closing is due to improperly updated game files. We mention in #downloads to not update ANY files versions below 6.6.0.
If you're using the Launcher:
- Reinstall version 1.1.2 of the launcher from #downloads
- Open the settings tab
- Click "Reset Config"
NOTE: The original path that the launcher shows will be your old game folder. That folder should be deleted. The new game folder will be inPIFLauncher(#.#.#)/GameFiles/InfiniteFusion
If you're not using the Launcher:
Use the Lightweight installer guide to install in a NEW folder ➡️ Click Here⬅️
If you are on a non-Windows device, follow the [guide](#tech-support message) for your device to reinstall.
Reinstalling on Windows does not affect Save Files in any way.
I started a run yesturday and just got to nugget bridge. When I get to the third trainer the game pops open this msg and crashes
?tag randerror
When randomizing the game, you can only randomize Trainers and Gym leaders if you are playing Classic or Randomized Mode.
Randomizing trainers on Remix and Expert Mode will crash trainer battlers.
Steps:
- Go to a Pokemon Center and talk to Help Man (guy in black suit)
- Select Advanced Settings -> Randomizer Settings -> Turn Trainers/Gyms OFF
I downloaded the game from this reddit post, wanted to confirm if it is safe/offical:

hoo boy. Looks like my version is 5.0. I always struggle updating this thing. Glad there's an update button in the launcher after this one
If you're below 6.6.0 you must redownload and install in a NEW folder (since the updater won't work due to bugs).,
Reinstalling doesn’t remove or require you to move any Save Files.
I don't understand these instructions. We need to reinstall in a new folder and yet we dont need to move anything?
I think I need help being directed to the installation instructions then
I see these instructions but I also see below these instructions where it says they recommend a "clean install"
So it seems contradictory: I need to delete files but I don't need to move files? what
Forgive me, I may be dumb lol
TLDR:
Which files do I delete and which do I not? (if I'm at version 5.0 and tryingt o update)
Delete everything
Your save is stored separately
How does it know where my save files are located? Will I need to enter its file location somewhere at some point in the installation process?
thanks sm
I don’t know where to ask this question but where do you find the animations for Pokémon to make your game animated?
Idk if this is the right channel but I was wondering if there is any kind of .sav file for the game, or is it only in rxdata
What's the diff between the 3 diff .exe files?
Instructions say to use the one that says "Game.exe" so I want to ask what the other two options are
not a rom. it only saves as .rxdata
Note for step 7: game.exe was replaced with InfiniteFusion.exe in the latest update. Open InfiniteFusion.exe to play the game instead.,
Oh
Well tha explains Game.exe, that it's the old launcher, but what about the performance one?
its used if your pc struggles to run the game
thx
ty
this screen just wont stop loading, it also says to screenshot and send here every now and again, help?
Can someone remind me where the instructions are for making the game use sprites from the internet rather from ur computer?
found the other screen
hello, so I may have a silly qustion. I just donwloaded the newest version of the game (with over 185000 sprites i think it said). So just to doublecheck, does it come with tall the sprites in the previous spritepacks already, or do i have to download tthat manually?
Hi there, anyone know how i get unstucked ? i stuck in a rock at the Violet Gym and cant get out. I tried Digging as well as the rope.
can I play this on IOS?
Hey @quaint vale! 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.
You don't need to download the sprite, they download automatically
I had to reset my computer, losing all my data. I'd like to restart Pokémon Infinite Fusion, but with the randomizer already unlocked, I don't feel like replaying the game all the way to the league level. Is there a way?
Do i need to put custome sprites in myself when using the launcher or is there a setting that automatically does that? I havent played in a while and the launcher and everything is different from last time i played. Can someone help?
Wait i looked around and found the guide for it nvm!
Transporting save files across devices is possible right?
the AI sprite creator or whatever its called isn't working unless the fusion has a sprite already made its just a question mark
I wanna transport my save file from my pc to my steam deck
I opened the game and the screen started flashing repeatedly
all ive done is put sprites in the import folder
I've just Updated the game and now it wont load?

ive tried with custome sprites
without custom sprites
both versions of launcher
they open the game, but they just flash repeatedly and sometimes repeats the title theme over and over
cant unfull screen the game either with f11 ive tried that too
well ill have to reinstall the launcher version but ill try that
nope!
i reinstalled it
and reset the config
and its still doing it
when im tabbed out of it, it looks fine
but when i tab in it just flashes over and over
im literally doing nothing to the game im installing the most recent version that the devs posted idk whats wrong with it
its starting to pmo at this point
i want to play this game, its worked fine in the past idk why its doing this now.
Is anyone using a Samsung a16 to play radical red? Curious to know if it works since it’s not on the list
does anyone have ANY solution to my problem of the screen flashing repeatedly
and if it involves not being in fullscreen, i cant get out of fullscreen none of the buttons work
OH MY GOD I FIXED IT
I WAS PRESSING RANDOM BUTTONS
AND IT UNFULLSCREENED
IDK HOW
and now its working fine in fullscreen WTH HAPPENED
well nvm now ig
don't use fullscreen

i'm just saying, what ever issue you had happen before, will likely happen again by keeping it on fullscreen
It was in fullscreen before and i spammed buttons and it unfullscreened
well its not anymore but ok ig
just because something works fine for a moment doesnt mean its not going to have the same problem again
just saying that for tech support i was in the installer version 6.5.1 and i could update 6.6.2 without problem
yes but will you be able to start the game without it crashing
that is the key thing of why we recommend a fresh install from anything lower than 6.6
you "can" update, but the game files freak out when you load it up and it goes "nah, I'd rather just...not"
Hey @verbal timber!
How to Update to the Latest Version (Windows)
- If you're on or above 6.6.0 double click
INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.batto update. - If you're below 6.6.0 you must either reinstall in a NEW folder (since the updater won't work due to bugs) or use the New Launcher to update.
- Reinstalling doesn’t remove or require you to move any Save Files.
- If playing on a Randomized save, make sure to reshuffle after updating. Use
?tag reshuffleif you need help.
For Non-Windows devices (Android, Mac, Steamdeck, Linux, Chromebook): Check our extended guides post
work just fine for me but my game is kinda slow i'll make a fresh instal just to be safe but it does work fine

?tag cheating
Per Rules 23 and 24 in #rules, we will NOT assist with ANY code modifications or cheats. Modifying game files in any way VOIDS all tech and game support from us.
Attempting to edit code to enable debug will not work. Debug is only obtainable as an in-game reward for catching all 501 Base Pokémon.
The ONLY fix for your error is to delete your game folder and reinstall using the files linked in #downloads . Reinstalling will not affect your save files.

i finish the update but my game is still version 6.6.2 and now it not letting me in the install or update bat again
what is wrong with my thing
Nothing, because 6.6.2 is the latest version..
if you are seeing something say that, we'd love to see where
I probably misread the text
Is the new updates available for mobile yet?
I was reading through stuff and I dont see a definitive answer
6.6.2 is available for mobile yes
Thank you
has been for maybe a few weeks i think
This pop up after beating a wild ratata and closed the game. Is this critical?
So... All my files got kind of corrupted or something so i deleted all of them. How can i download the game again? Can't fidn a link in the description
Hey @foggy coral! You can download the game from: [#downloads](#downloads message)

?tag roms
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
The universal randomiser ?
rn = right now, very common english abbreviation
I see, okaysies
Oh okay thx
there is an "unofficial" program you can download that will let you randomize mainline pokemon games
Hey @verbal timber! You can download the game from: [#downloads](#downloads message)
If you need a guide, they are located: [HERE](#tech-support message)
Hey @verbal timber! To unlock randomized mode: Create a new game, save in Pallet Town, and create a 2nd new game. More options will appear since the 1st save is locked to Classic Mode.
Our randomizer doesn't offer true randomization meaning each Pokemon or item you find is **not ** going to be random each time. Instead we offer the below for Pokemon:
Global:
- Makes it so that if Pidgey was randomized to Pikachu on route 1, all Pidgeys on all routes are Pikachu.
Area:
- Better randomization than Global. Makes it so that each route has their own randomized set of encounters.
For more questions on other randomizer settings, checkout the Randomized Mode Wiki Page
Ok thx

Mmmh weird, where did you download the game?
the official website
?tag fakefiles
Beware of Unofficial Websites That Claim To Be Official.
The only official sources to download the game are here, the game's subreddit or the pokecommunity thread.
To clean out your computer:
- Delete all the save files from the fake files. It's not recommended to keep these, as they have bugs and fake data that the normal game doesn't have.
🔵 Your game folder has a shortcut that you double click namedSavefileto take you to the location to delete all save files. They are namedFile A.rxdata. - Delete any zipped/unzipped folders from there
- Run a virus scan
After doing all the steps, use #downloads to download the real files.

will i lose my save files

Hi i am playing the game normally but have no sprites, even though the file Sprite Pack 106 (September 2024) is downloaded on my pc.
mordrid the black thanks for yesterday with my sprite issue it worked
that only contrains sprites from that pack
and we are not recommending to add packs atm since it seems to cause sprites in game to get doubled
so what can I do to get the sprites pls?
you have to wait
read that message
ok and download sprites should be on rigth?
basically: play the game with download data turned on
okok ill try thanks
yeah shouldnt take too long
if you still see download sprites in your options, you are wildly out of date on game versions
at least it didnt for me
so how can I update or make sure its the latest version?
honestly if you are on anything lower than 6.6, you need a fresh install
i.e., yeet your old infinite fusion game folder and redownload following the guide for your device
Hi guys, I bought a game sir nova lite wireless control, anyone help me as it’s not connecting to game unless plugged in, can anyone help?

Performance Issues - Freezing? Lag? Long Black/Loading Screens? [More Info](#tech-support message)
---------------------------------
REGARDING SPRITE ISSUES:
---------------------------------
This is all support we will 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 before going on cooldown, 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 > advanced > 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 > advanced > other > reset > reset sprite cache
step 5. with the same man: advanced > other > reset > reset alt selection
🔴 After following the applicable steps your sprites are working. If you encounter missing sprites it is simply because of the sprite download cooldown. Keep playing and sprites will show up.
are you sure you need it?
the game auto-downloads everything, and adding the full spritepack will simply result in a duplicate of every sprite.
ohh okay, i thought you still had to like install the spritepack like in the older versions
nahh that hasnt been a thing for over 2 years
ohhhh, yea i havent played in a long long time soooo
hey um choice band breaks the game if you run out of pp because it wont let you struggle

It's just a download limit?
I notice it happens when I lose wi-fi connection (I have no data for my tablet). Would that effect things?
well yeah, no internet = no download
Last time it fixed itself though when I regaind wifi and reset the game
This time that didn't fix it though
Even on a game reset?
yes. a download limit would be useless if it was that easy to avoid
Hello, i've finished the Darkrai/Cresselia quest but once I return to the room the green feather is still there and the quest shows up as "ongoing".
The caretaker says the "the pokemon's nightmares have ended" line and I both had Cresselia join my team (although it was a darkrai but that might have been the randomizer) and then fought and captured Darkrai but the quest doesn't finish.
I've tried talking to the "help guy" in the top floor of the Pk Center but it didn't fix it. Is there any quick fix?
So just keep playing then, okay. Thanks
known bug where quests don't "finish" properly, no fix
Ok, thanks.
So just to confirm I need to delete everything and then reinstall?
hey, quick question. how can i take the launcher out of the download-thing
aka get game.exe on my desktop
the launcher guide goes over this.
i have the "lightweight installer". is it for both the same?
oh. but you said launcher.
simply make a shortcut. then move the shortcut
shortcut = verknüpfung. that took some time
Hey, so, I'm trying to get the reward for completing the dex and just opened my save file and my infini-splicers are gone, any way I can get those back without locking that reward away?
@muted charm you can try to "fix the game" at the men in black at every pokémon center
It's a pretty recurring bug unfortunately, it should have been fixed with the 6.6.1 but apparently not really, or you don't have 6.6.1 (or 6.6.2) version
Doesn't that make it so I can't get the Magic Boots from getting the base 501?
Hey @muted charm! 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.

wait ymir if i go in advanced settings at any point does that mean i can't get the magic boots
nah, only if you touch randomizer settings, and the game would warn you at that point
ok because i have a full pokedex and the npc isnt giving me the boots
check what they say
and my file isnt random and i dont remember touching the randomizer settings
it's the normal dialogue
"ill give them to you if you catch the 501 base pokemon" or whatever
if they mention randomizer at any point, ya done goofed.
if they dont, you havent completed to pokedex
(keep in mind, meloetta comes as a self fusion, not as base)
i've checked all my boxes (it's a living dex) and i've checked my in game pokedex and cross checked it with the wiki
oh no if that's what ive been missing i'm going to lose it
if you are really sure, send me your save in a DM and I will check
i swear i unfused it as soon as i got it
but then I want a cookie if I find one not registered in the pokedex
If I dont find one, Ill just add the boots
ok no my meloetta is unfused
can you get the magic boots in ng+
my save is ng+ and remix
yip, that doesnt matter
feel free to just send me your save. ill check rq
i have time now
how do i do that

where can i see which version im on?

Hello, i had a simple question. I play on my phone and im trying to get back into it. I uninstall and reinstall everything, correct? I don't care about the saves so i can just uninstall everything and go through the process again essentially?
To update i mean
Yo, so I might have done something wrong, but after fully reinstalling the most recent version and running the .bat file, several of the custom sprites I was using on my team are no longer accessible, displaying only the autogenerated sprites. Additionally, hovering over some pokemon in the box completely locks up my game. Any idea how to fix this?
So after I updated the game, every single fusion on my team lost its sprite. Did the update delete any sprites?
Hang on, this is probably just an oddity in the auto downloading sprite thing thinking about it now. The sprites are slowly returning, disregard my previous statement
Yeah, I'll just wait. It'll probably resolve

Hi, i have debug (yay) and i was wondering if i can set the starter choice on my file?
Wait you’re having the same problem?
you are having the same problem as two other people
that would be custom starter, just say no when the game asks if you want to use the regular starters
So i want to change the keys for my ps5 controller but it doesn’t read the intakes. I know its marked as the xbox buttons and i have adjusted for that but the settings dont register the square for example (on the xbox controller X) or r1 (rb) but r2 it registers as RTrigger+ and somehow D (quickmenu for favorite clothes) is on the r3 button
I cant change them without the setting registering the new buttons

I downloaded my save file from my Samsung to my Pc and when I loaded it deleted the map. What do I do?
It also deleted some textures of pokemon
thank you
do i need to manually download the sprite packs if i downloaded through lightweight installer guide?
bc some of the fusions i tried dont work
I fixed my problem
i had inf fusion before but deleted it, and the fusions that i tried worked then, but not now
so will it take time for all the sprites to load, or every time i play am i limited to a number of sprites?
neither
reread that message
if you are missing sprites, do the reset sprite cache and resert alt selection, this should resolve most of the fusion sprites, anything else you need to play with download data turned On and be connected to the internet; the game will grab sprites as it is able
I'm just curious is there any way to play 2 player
Hi all, I just updated to 6.6.2 and am noticing an issue with the sprites for pokemon I was using pre-update. A few of them are entirely different and I can't find the old ones. Based on the current selected sprite being similar to 1 or all other available fusion sprites, I assume my computer is using a sprite to replace a missing file, probably for sprites that were removed during the update or something. I accept that I probably need to find a new sprite to use for now, just want to know if anyone agrees that this is likely the cause.
What I need help with is I have 2 dex entries for Tanslash (Tangrowth- head & Sandslash- body) that aren't sharing sprites and the sprite I was using pre-update is in the sprite list for the dex entry not tied to my Tanslash. The dex numbers are 14142 (the one I want to use) and 14294 (the one I'm set to)
Picture was recommended so here it is

hey all! just re-downloaded the game after having issues a while back, and they're persistent. None of my basic sprites will generate, and all fused sprites are only the auto generated. already cleared sprite cache a couple of times and double checked in the .bat that everything is up to date, any suggestions?

Hey @quartz basin! 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.
Sidenote I think the guides probably need an update for the sprites situation
Since now there are just no sprites preloaded in the game
there's a gray spot in one of the frames in the celadon fountain and i wasn't sure if it was an error or intentional
near the top on the left side
i'm asking here bc one of the guidelines in #1052360360172199977 said it's explicitly not for overworld sprites (the 2nd to last one)
I downloaded the sprite packs and apparently they do have base sprites in the files now
Is there any way to plop them to the game folders?

?tag missingsp
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
You fucked your files pretty bad
After installing the new update for 6.6 everytime I attempt to play the game or intialize it immediately closes/crashes it was working fine before I updated the game
?tag olddata
The most likely reason your game is opening and closing is due to improperly updated game files. We mention in #downloads to not update ANY files versions below 6.6.0.
If you're using the Launcher:
- Reinstall version 1.1.2 of the launcher from #downloads
- Open the settings tab
- Click "Reset Config"
NOTE: The original path that the launcher shows will be your old game folder. That folder should be deleted. The new game folder will be inPIFLauncher(#.#.#)/GameFiles/InfiniteFusion

I asked it before but I downloaded the full sprite pack with the new June sprites and in the Other folder they seem to now have base sprites packed in
full sprite pack always had bases in there too
Can I put them anywhere in the game so I can still have base sprites while not downloading data
nope, it will just duplicate every single entry
Huh?
if you import sprites, it will create new dex entries for imported sprites.
leaving you with empty entries with credits, and uncredited entries which you imported.
so simply doubling all entries
I'm talking base sprites though
same thing
Oh
Ohhhhhhh
So imported sprites still don't get read by the game as the sprites we'd normally have so they still don't have custom dex entries and artist credit
That's kinda stupid
been like that ever since the repo switch to spritesheets
Is it worked on so the game has the readability to check if the sprites match their database and match accordingly or is this just gonna be an inherent problem with importing sprites
it checks what it downloaded, if something isnt in there it will still download them.
its not an md5 check, but rather a "have I done this?" check, and since you are not the game it will not register with importing yourself
think of spritepacks more like a library/backup rather than game content.
so can you import them? yes
will you end up with a duplicate of every entry? also yes
Is this the place to simply report a bug? I don't need active help with anything.
This occurs whenever I use an item in combat on a pokemon that isn't my active one:

Gotcha. I'm doing a randomizer run so it's my only real healing
and this is why you don't randomize items
You don't like to have fun? haha
i prefer to not get softlocked
Hey guys, new here - been playing the game on steam deck, it's updated to the latest version, literally did it a couple hours ago 6.6.2
I have the June sprite pack in correctly.. but I'm still missing a lot of basic non-fused sprites..
I seem to remember there being a sprite.zip for regular, but I believe they're all meant to be in together now?
And weirdly, it mostly happens offline.. even off I have download data off.
I'm just wondering if I'm missing something crazy obvious here
The crucial items for progress dont randomize
you can always get softlocked from something
see what ymir said above
well then it's unrelated to randomizing items, huh? lol
but also each montly pack only has sprites for THAT month
and the base sprites are not in with the fusion sprites
what button to speed the game?
your best bet atm is to not use the spritepacks and play with download data turned On
q
thank you 😄
or left bumper
AHH ok that explains a lot, much appreciated 👍
Already tried resetting sprite cache through Help Man, I'm guessing I'm literally out of any other options but download them then
how to turn download data on?
In settings
thx
Or download the full sprite packs too
That's not a good solution
No but if you wanna download all sprites you gotta download the full pack if you wanna go sprite packs route
What a contribution.
they are right though.
if you scroll up you will see we don't recommend that
if you are seeing custom sprites in any capacity, base or fusion, your game is working as intended
them installing the pack will simply make them end up with duplicate entries for everything, and the game will still display empty sprites for quite some base sprites until they set them themselves.
Why doesn't the sprites show up even after download em all?
because you're not meant to
with all this sprite talk, people confusing themselves, and misinformation I'm calling a veto again and reverting to my message.
fair enough
---------------------------------
REGARDING SPRITE ISSUES:
---------------------------------
This is all support we will 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 before going on cooldown, 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 > advanced > 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 > advanced > other > reset > reset sprite cache
step 5. with the same man: advanced > other > reset > reset alt selection
🔴 After following the applicable steps your sprites are working. If you encounter missing sprites it is simply because of the sprite download cooldown. Keep playing and sprites will show up.
kinda seems like releasing the spritepacks makes life harder here
tbf before we switched to sprite sheets, that worked fine
long time ago though
only because peoples brains go: "oh files, i must download and mess with them even though the guide doesnt mention them in the slightest"
My sprites only load with internet, so you can't play offline?
Ok, but is that a useful guide if people are still constantly struggling with sprites?
yes, because all the info is in there.
I've had missing sprites plenty of times that are because my game is acting up.
i dont see how a single missing sprite means your game is "working fine"
its not something I'm willing to spend time having a discussion about.
last weeks we've had plenty of people doubt the info, to come back hours/days later "oh you were right, I'm sorry"
I know how sprites work. I dont need people doubting the info
by that logic, the game is broken because there are some fusions that lack both an autogen and custom sprite
By what logic? I'm referring to the sprite guide.
by the logic of the message i replied to
"I don't see how a single missing sprite means your game is working fine"
Not sure what you're tripped up about tbh. The guide says if you are missing sprites but you have even a single one, the game is fine.
I drop info in here as the tech manager of the game, people doubt it and want to have a discussion.
meanwhile 10 different people are distributing misinformation regarding spritepacks.
for this reason it was decided that for sprite issues my message will be the help we provide.
#discord-suggestions message guess we will see
I'm not doubting anything to be clear. The info IS all there, but the very first bit says "if you see any sprites your game isn't broke" and I was just commenting that it DOES seem confusing, and that might be why people constantly still ask for help.
the fact is; if you've seen even a single sprite - your game is fine
all sprites are stored on the same server.
if it was able to get 1, and thus setup a proper connection with the server, it can get all
it just takes time
especially when you consider that there is a limit set on the download of sprites by Frog so he doesn't have to pay more than he already is for the repo hosting service
though I swear there was like a month where spritesheets got uploaded into a pack instead of the individual pngs...I assume that got dropped because it was harder to put where the game needed them
shame, as that would solve the duplication problem
Reinstalling PIF for the nth time and I think this is the first time I've actually decided to post this part specifically in the install process
Does this error mean anything
Why doesn't my game download Pokémon sprites if I have an internet connection?
ok, thank you
I only know how to make them sadly
Serious question tho, does it have anything to do with files that some credits are displayed as "Unknown artist" or is it just the fault of the spritecredits sheet?
It was already installed, I have never disabled it, and when checking the sprites in the files, most of them are not there, only those of certain Pokémon, I can't find a solution.
Yeap idk anymore then
you likely hit the download cap
be patient
only Frog knows
Why is there a download gap
because we don't have a free to use repo anymore like what we did with gitlab
Frog pays for hosting on the new repo
in that way?
ah
to ensure that cost isn't too high, he set the cap so it doesn't boil over and cost more
game can only downlod X amount of sprites every Y interval until Z cap is hit, then game stops grabbing sprites until a second Y interval is triggered at which point it resets and starts all over
Hey Mordrid if I get this outfit is it a portent that my game files in general are screwed
no just means you fought a mon that didn't have a sprite
no, thas just an outfit. it should look like that
That would be the Froakie I have it's been question mark for awhile now (don't worry I know I know I have Download Data I'll get Froakie sprites eventually)
How do I get it to reactivate?
just keep playing
as stated there is a second interval of time [Y] that has to pass before the game can start grabbing sprites again
I wonder how much fusions people think dont exist just bc they hit the cap
The gitlab repo ban has been really hitting this game hard
not much we can do about that
Is there no way to do it manually? It's just really awkward to play without seeing the sprites.
there is, but it isn't recommended
importing sprites manually basically means you get duplicates
I think reverting to the old system would be better atp.
hey, is the rhyorn quest bugged? i got him to go to the towel but nothing happens
individual pngs take up more space than the sprite sheets
move it an extra space on the towel
Individual pngs atleast worked tho
doesn't work too
on the old system: "people complain they cant unzip and we should come up with something new"
on the new sysem: "people complain they can play but dont like the downloads caps"
so moving it up a space or down a space on the towel, when it is already there, doesn't end it?
yep, nothing happens
Yeah having a cap on something called INFINITE fusions kinda beats the point
hm
Ok, then I better wait, thanks for your help
call it pokemon finite fusions atp
the irony is with the pngs it would take longer to get sprites
sadly hosting hundreds of thousands of sprites for 600.000 people costs a fuckton of money
without manually importing them anyway
more than you can imagine
Wait so when the game downloads the sprites what it actually downloads is a spritesheet?
if you are going to keep complaining just stop playing infinite fusions and make your own game that works the way you want this one to
yipyip
I'm gonna blame the spritesheet system on this "download data half minute lag" thing then yep
dude, you need to seriously take a break from the server with this kind of stuff

This seems kinda rude for no reason
it is rude for no reason
I dont even play the game and was just curious about how it worked
bro i say 1 message in this channel in over a week and suddenly im being attacking for telling someone to either stop complaining or make your own game?
realistically the cap also doesnt come into play for most people on a new save.
we had an issue a couple weeks back where it reset everyones download progress, it now has to play catchup on people existing saves. making the cap more obvious
ah, well thx, I am more enlightened now
basically the pipe that comes from the repo to the game is clogged
this is crap im getting attacked and blocked because im tired of people complianing about how frog runs his game
what do I do when the game displays certain sprites as autogen?
I think people have the right to be frustrated about the state of the game and the sprites issue or even snarking about it without being told "go make your own game!!!"
keep playing until you can get sprites again as youve hit a cap
that could come down to a few things:
- you hit the download cap, just means you gotta be patient and keep playing, as long as the mon is in battle eventually the game should be able to grab the sprite [if there is one] and you can change it in the alts thing later if it doesn't automatically change
- the fusion lacks a custom sprite entirely
?tag alts
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.

I dont mean to be rude in a way but I dont think the cap is one
the cap applies to both fusion sprites and base sprites
Btw is autogen sprites just not even in the game anymore
they exist
Oh okay because I think I just kept seeing question marks at this point
I only checked 1 pokemon for the rest
It's 10 minutes in this new save oh my god how is the only mon sprites downloaded the damn Dratini Gary has
that is usually more prominent on base sprites than anything else
but can happen with fusions as well
which can mean the fusion lacks both an autogen and custom
yeah you hit the cap
because if a sprite hadnt been downloaded yet, the game will display an autogen in the slot of the custom.
that fusion has a custom
damn the cap really is 1 sprite
nahh thats normal
nah I have the normally custom one selected
if they press select on the empty custom slot it will populate with an autogen
no i mean i get that but it should be credited as japeal, not widecloud
the right one is credited as japeal, the one selected is the custom one which has not been downloaded
oh
thus got filled with autogen
oop
The sprite I have selected normally be custom
Mordrid I think you blocking Looker really pissed him off lol
anyhow, I just checked the server. nothing wrong. sprites working fine. tested on a fresh install. all good
oh well, tired of how rude he has been
i am free to block whoever I so desire to make sure i don't blow up on someone
He probably will come back
thats fine, we're no strangers
to love
I forgot about my save
ik this isnt really the place but I forgot I named this
Man it's really annoying that I decided to just tank this constant half a minute (it's 2 minutes and more now) lag during the download data lag knowing I'm still not gonna download any sprites 
-# at this rate i might just take down the launcher and preload the other versions and just say "fuck it" to all the people that wont be able to extract the game
have you tried resetting the cache already after you updated like frogs announcement said to do?
just to check
I tried resetting it on another save and I did still have this issue
coolcool, have you seen any custom sprite?
I have seen a whopping 1
Only the Dratini Gary has
I am not mad about it
I mean I'm gonna keep checking don't worry
I think the circles are funny
was it the custom dratini sprite?
because thats a double dratini fusion.
if it was custom it should have multiple heads
Not even lmao it was base Dratini
so auto-gen
lol
Yea
in that case you havent seen a single custom
give your game a full reinstall, then try running a new save and make sure the download data setting is on
This was a fresh reinstall a few minutes ago actually
I keep wanting to type my adventures in here
ill move to playtrough talk
goodbyee
A new save too
With download data on
As I said I'm just gonna tank all this (plus the battle/pokedex/pokemon info lag for a minute and more) and then go to Help Man again
when you do talk to help man:
reset the cache and reset alt sprite substitution once more.
then play for a bit.
then check this file: infiniteFusion\Data\sprites\updated_spritesheets_cache
and just copy paste whatever is in there in this discord chat
then I can see if it downloaded anything at all
How long is 'for a bit'
maybe like 5-10 minutes, as many battles as you can do
It's 30 minutes because of the download data lag bs
Every battle is gonna take 3x times as long I think
i wonder if this is more of an issue with your internet
thats fine, the in game time should not affect the cap. 5-10min is still fine even if thats only a couple battles
Dude I redownloaded this game for the nth time and it only took me 3-4 minutes
I have a good internet (I have to assume for the purposes of the "your internet might just be in the shits for this game bro" talk)
less that more just trying to narrow the cause down
because this game tends to get a bit...weird...with internet
And it's not my PC because I literally had to get this PC a new motherboard due to some faulty motherboard issues and it also involved deep cleaning etc etc
And it has always played a lot of games (even Remastered Oblivion) smoothly so like
Idk anymore
you'd be surprised...not trying to be rude on this
the game engine this is using is old, so much so it is starting to fall into the uncanny valley territory of technology that dislikes it when you have "too good of a device"
oppenheimer.gif again
welcome to technology, we'll let you know when it makes sense...which should be right at the crossroad of never and eventually
I think this issue is worse for me now because the game just doesn't have prepackaged sprites anymore which is insane to me
At least when this game had prepackaged sprites I'll just tank the sprites/download data issue and move on but I can't even have sprites anymore damnit man
well try what Ymir said to see if your game is even downloading sprite sheets
if not he may have an idea outside the extreme option

Okay this clearly means I've downloaded some things
I guess I'm just out of luck with mons I actually play/face right now in the game
yeah no, seems to not be downloading anything.
(this is confusing, but those are artifacts shipping with the download. those 7 are always in there)
(oppenheimer.gif intensifies)
okay. i will send you a "fix" in DM
best to not spread it as it really is a duct-tape-ish fix
You understand now why I am intensely frustrated with this game whenever I'm in #tech-support lmao
i mean the option i was going to present if nothing else worked was just going to be the altdownload
man my brain is hell fried today
more so than usual
will prob just take another daycation from the server to chill out and not help so i can get my head on straight
Why my game stuck on this screen
super mario galaxy music extended?

ty
im alittle new but my game keeps crashing anything i can do to fix it?
Is it your first time installing ?
no its not ive had the game for awhile just came back to playing it im going to try deleting and reinstalling
?tag olddata
The most likely reason your game is opening and closing is due to improperly updated game files. We mention in #downloads to not update ANY files versions below 6.6.0.
If you're using the Launcher:
- Reinstall version 1.1.2 of the launcher from #downloads
- Open the settings tab
- Click "Reset Config"
NOTE: The original path that the launcher shows will be your old game folder. That folder should be deleted. The new game folder will be inPIFLauncher(#.#.#)/GameFiles/InfiniteFusion
If you're not using the Launcher:
Use the Lightweight installer guide to install in a NEW folder ➡️ Click Here⬅️
If you are on a non-Windows device, follow the [guide](#tech-support message) for your device to reinstall.
Reinstalling on Windows does not affect Save Files in any way.
Is that what you wanted to say @verbal timber ?
was gonna ask if they were crashing with an error first
or no error
then maybe lead to that
Oh okay, so I forgot a step
no worries, its why we try to narrow it down so we can give out the right info
I wanted to make some test with the debug mode but didn't found how to get it, i tried obtaining it with the 999_Main since it was the only method i knew that didn't implied cheat engines and since then i get this message and now i can't play

First question, how did you get debug mode, I didn't see your pokédex completionist role
And second question why are you still in 6.5.1
first, i didn't got it since i can't launch my game to see if i have it, second, i just forgot to updated it while launching it this morning
Hey @spiral vine! Black screen in this game is the loading screen. The duration of the black screen depends on YOUR computer and YOUR internet.
- If you get the message below while opening the game, this means to stop clicking/pressing buttons on the screen as it is loading.
- If you get the message while in game, this means your computer is struggling.

I'm new! Just downloaded and the Game.exe file that was supposed to show up didn't show up! It says to send a screenshot to tech support, so that's what I'm doing
So you try to modify the files ?

hm this reads correctly
So we can't help you anymore
where did you get your game files from
The link in this discord
odd
Hello, I would like to play this on mobile(joiplay). May I ask how can I download it with preloaded sprites?
so the inside of your infinitefusion folder has nothing in it, or is just missing the game.exe
you don't
none of the downloads come with sprites
Here's all the stuff it gave me
I see. So the sprites automatically download even when using joiplay or do I have to download a sprite pack and put it in the files?
Hm, but when I clicked on it, it didn't open and errored at me. Hold on...
I assumed I did something wrong
Oh that, just connect headphones
plug in audio
Ohhh
headphones/headset/speakers/earbuds/etc
Ohhhhhh, aaa, I feel silly now
sprites download as long as you have download data turned On in the options and a connection to the internet
It's working now, thank you. Sorry for being dumb, hahaha
Np, it's a good thing to have simple things to fix like that sometimes
What ?
did i type something lol
misclick ig
I was scrolling through this channel for help with something else and must have hit my keyboard by mistake
?
I'ts just stopped downlaoding
oh okay np
thats not something on our end
alright, ill try the other links then
Hum where did you download the game to be sure
This link didn't work but the google drive worked
just checked, link works fine.
something in your connection to it doesnt.
but glad it is solved already
either that or the browser
since i know operagx hates mediafire with a passion for some reason
that new link is our own repo
Yea i am using operagx so it's probaly that
I cant pick up the wood in the builder quest, any tips?
mediafire is now also moved to the "backups"
will keep an eye on the abomination that is operagx
lol
im pressing the action button
you don't pick it up
you talk with the npc
to fight them and get it
oh ok then tks
What ?
memory values
Uhm see that with Ymir
curious if its gamemaker being gamemaker or whether obfuscated intentionally
No just because he is busy and doesn't need to bother him while Ymir maybe already now the answer
Frog the game creator, maybe I misunderstood your question
ah, ig tech support isnt really accurate
Boys,which version of joiplay do I install?
im editing how much money I have in the game and the "values" are always * 2 + 1 meaning if I have 100 gold in the game, the in-memory value is 100 * 2 + 1 = 201
Cus I recall someone saying it wasnt latest ver
Oh

im curious whether this is gamemaker being gamemaker, or whether the dev did this intentionally (obfuscating values to make them harder to find)
no worried, I don't need support haha
I think so, just a reminder
gotya
I guess sometimes people will cheat and then ask for help because they broke their save files
😂😂
Version in the mobile guide
Yeah
We have one today
haha thats pretty funny
?tag mobilealt
just make backups :p
And okay, cool things to now
oh btw this one may be important for Ymir/whoever to know, I figured what was causing the massive lag spikes
I shortly spoke with @rigid silo about it before, if you remember
2 reasons:
- memory leaks
- particle effects (grass when walking through it, surfing on ocean, walking in puddles, etc)
it doesnt really matter much, its a 7+ year old free fan-made game, so im not bothered by it
but in case anyone is ever going to look at it, I suggest checking the particle fx spawning
I keep this in case it gets flooded in the channel without them seeing it and reposting it later on the helper channel, I think it's maybe an important thing
ok. to recreate this:
- have a device with lower specs (I play on steam deck oled)
- play for multiple hours (optional), then use the game-speed-up (Q on keyboard, left trigger on Deck) and you'll see stuttering while moving
- inspect RAM usage while playing for long periods
^ now ig you open the project in gamemaker and see exactly what code is causing how much RAM
particle effects:
- just speed up game (Q) while moving through grass or swimming in water. I get stuttering even while not playing for a while pretty much everywhere, especially swimming. but you see this getting worse after playing for some hours due to memleaks
thing is, I am not able to recreate it at all.
even on my steamdeck, where i remember you mention it
I just had to use the debugger because after the celadon city bike race i spawned in the middle of a patch of trees. i had two badges and finished the race before my opponent
known issue, glad you solved it yourself!
that is the correct thing to do in that instance
ymirs master message that we should honestly pin
when I click play, the game crashes. Any help with that?

I did that and it still doesnt work
then you didnt fully uninstall beforehand
Do I just need to uninstall everything and download it all again?
on the launcher it will work with that setting.
on lightweight as the instructions say - reinstall.
I have the PifLaunxher
then follow those steps.
if that doesnt work you will need to give more info.
we dont quite have a lot to go off of
I did the download and I hit reset config and it still doesnt want to load
further proof you should just yeet the launcher
Hi tech Support I have fully updated the Game but when I click play game I get a pop up saying game does not exist. I'd like any assistance
did you move any files around?
a screenshot of the error and/or game folder would be appreciated.
No all files have remaind where they were after the extract
Theres a better view of the error
This is how the files look
setting, reset config
hello, can I report bugs in this channel as well?
or is it only to get help?
you are meant to report bugs her yes
but it is also for tech help as well
ah alright!
then I'd like to report a minor bug in Sprout Tower, last floor.
The Victreebel, that go around in a circle only trigger a Stage-Reset if directly walked into.
If you just stand there they just walk into you and then just stack into each other.
I have a video that shows this if you'd like to see it for yourself.
So when I extract the zip its putting ALL of the image files of the game into my gallery. It didn't do this for any previous version for me. Any fixes?
Do you have that problem on android? maybe you galery indexes all files that end with certain extensions like jpg or png.
I have a gallery app that does that as well.
In my app I can tell the gallery-app to ignore that folder and I will no longer see images in that folder again
I haven't changed apps between this version and a previous one so no
mine doesnt work for some reason
is your game directory in "C:\Users%username%\InfiniteFusion"?
yes
from which version do you try to update?
