Hi frog and bye frog

[junior oracle]

So... I don't want to pile on to the workload, but I just want to report a disappearing outfit bug when fishing with the Good Rod on Route 19. (This is also the newest update installed.)

[potent briar]

To reinstall the game with the lightweight installer, how do I make sure my save files stay?

[verbal timber]

you do nothing

because on windows saves are tucked away in roaming appdata

[untold osprey]

I downloaded it from Google Drive and it worked!

[quasi abyss]

one second

i'm going to check something

[potent briar]

So i just delete everything within the InfiniteFusion folder and then use the lightweight route?

[verbal timber]

just delete the folder itself

[ionic tendon]

There should be a #1052360360172199977 already

[quasi abyss]

weird, the image files ARE there

[frozen grove]

It's a #1052360360172199977 issue, probably misnamed or referenced or smth. Not for us to figure out

[quasi abyss]

yeah thats payas mess

[junior oracle]

Thank you

[quasi abyss]

paya get off palworld we have a job for you

[waxen bison]

google drive version confirmed working from my end!

[frozen grove]

Mediafire and direct download link have been updated and should be working

[quasi abyss]

🥹

[harsh spade]

[verbal timber]

should, key word

[frozen grove]

They worked on my pc so

[verbal timber]

lemme retry the mediafire one cause i was mid checking it when you sent that message and it aint workin

[frail sandal]

Wowie-zowie !
It's working. I deleted the entirety of the game and used the lightweight install and it executed again normally.
Still I saw some errors during the installation and wanted to know if that may be the cause of the crash.

It went like this :

[thorny pilot]

Is the direct link/mediafire the 6.7 version or the old one then?

[verbal timber]

does the whole "open for a brief moment then close" but it was on v6.6.2 updated to v6.7

[verbal timber]

direct is 6.7

[frozen grove]

Well it's a script so it installs the newest version

[frozen grove]

See I have no clue what's causing that

[quasi abyss]

the demons! the demons!!

[verbal timber]

that's why im redownloading it and checking again to make sure it is good since you said it is fine now

[sharp niche]

According to you @frozen grove I was missing a lot of files

[frozen grove]

Did you fully reinstall?

[verbal timber]

technically only doing this as a backup check [my E drive files worked fine after updating]

[sharp niche]

It only worked with the google version. Even reinstalling the other ways didn't work

[dry lynx]

Just confirming the gdrive link opens fine but does have like 2 could not read errors.

[verbal timber]

if you read the second one it forced the update

so it is fine

[austere raft]

Question, if I deleted the direct files of the game on my mobile, will it also deleted all the images downloaded and added to my gallery? I have over 19k photos and counting and my original photo count barely reached 1k. I want to play the game but if having 20k on my recents is the price of it then I'd rather not, and if doesn't solve it, is there an easier way to remove it all faster?

[dry lynx]

Ah right missed that, my bad.

[sharp pawn]

[verbal timber]

but that's the thing, if it was like that, all the downloads would be borked, only a few were borked

ok fresh dl of the mediafire stuff, doing the thing now to make sure its all guchi

[tawdry nexus]

So, one thing I noticed about the new update, is that flipped hat sprites revert to their original horizontal or vertical orientation when loading up a save. The position it gets saved in remains the same, but I have to manually re-flip the Hat Sprite on my Pokemon.

[chilly kayak]

That's the version that had the files pre-extracted right?

[frozen grove]

It wasn't me

[potent briar]

Hey, i'm back. I installed the lightweight installer twice now, second time with the Drive link just to see. The game opens and everything fine now but it takes at least a full minute to start a battle now. Do I just have a terrible computer? It wasn't doing that before.

[tawdry nexus]

It might be lagging a bit because it's downloading sprite updates in the background

[austere raft]

Hello, I've got the same issue as you, can I ask if you've been able to resolve it now?

[verbal timber]

the only sort of fix for sprites in gallery is adding a nomedia file

and that may not 100% work

some phones/tablets ignore that file and will still do the gallery thing

[frozen grove]

?tag wifi

[pearl magnet]

For never ending loading screens, try turning off WiFi/internet on your device and try again. For some reason, even though your internet might be working just fine, something about this game clogs it up. Once you are in game, if issue persists, turn off Download Data as well. For Android users, you may also need to turn off your mobile data.

Note: When you are disconnected from the internet, sprites will not be automatically downloaded resulting in missing sprites. If the game will only work offline for you, you may need to download and import the newest spritepack from #spritepack-releases. Do NOT download the pack if you plan on also playing while connected to the internet.

[austere raft]

Not exactly tech savvy, how do I do that? And is that still useful if the sprites are already in the gallery..?

[verbal timber]

ok, all the dl links work, if anyone is still having issues, delete your existing folder & zip you downloaded from before; refresh the page for the guide and click the link

[verbal timber]

since that is outside the means of this game, we don't help with that, a quick google search should help

[unborn heath]

This, it did not work for my A53. If perhaps I did it wrong idk. But I'll see about playing again probably when my PC comes in

[rapid lodge]

Has anyone been having issues with any time a new sprite tries to load, it takes upwards of 30 seconds?

[austere raft]

Can I ask how you did the nomedia thing?

And since it didnt work for you, did you delete the sprites, and if so, do you have a faster method than just holding upwards until you eventually mark it all to delete?

[tawdry nexus]

But yeah, anyone else having the issue I'm dealing with, regarding the hat sprite thing, or is it possibly just a "me" issue, since I downloaded the update via the .bat file method?

[verbal timber]

that is a combo of your internet and game loading slow

[buoyant dome]

Its working now, thank yall so much

[unborn heath]

I attempted to create and add a file to the Infinite fusions file on my RAR app. Named it .nomedia as told and it chose to not do the effect of keeping files out of the gallery like it should of

[chilly kayak]

So as it turns out, it's not a misnamed outfit. It does that with every outfit. I'm pushing a fix

[verbal timber]

genius

[rapid lodge]

Is there any way to have the game preload everything when you launch the game?

[austere raft]

Aaah, do you know if it will still work on the currently saved sprites or just the new ones I download AFTER making the .nomedia?

[verbal timber]

preloaded doesn't exist anymore

[rain swallow]

i tried going back and using the mediafire link instead like you said but that had the same issue the command prompt just says missing files and the game closes two seconds after launching

[rapid lodge]

Oh shoot

[verbal timber]

if you have old files, delete them and get a fresh download of them

[quasi abyss]

thats awesome

[rain swallow]

ok i just deleted everything and am trying the mediafire link again i will let you know if it works this time

[quasi abyss]

so its NOT payas problem

[verbal timber]

make sure the download is 2.1GB

if it isn't refresh the guide and click the dl link

[rain swallow]

the only download i see are 1.3 for the zip

[unborn heath]

I honestly dont know, like you I'm not tech savvy. I'm MUCH more use to a single Apk file taking care of everything and the stuff just working off the gate. if it just wouldn't of threw everything into gallery, woulda been 10/10, I kinda USE my gallery so it didn't work out for me when I couldn't figure how to get it off and still have the game work. Sorry I couldn't help ya

[rain swallow]

at least the mediafire one is only 1.3gb

[rapid lodge]

Is there a source to download a pack of all current sprites to add to the game manually?

[frozen grove]

?tag spritepacks

[pearl magnet]

Sprite packs are not needed. The game automatically downloads all available sprites as you play.

If you play with no internet, here is a guide on how to install the sprites manually: Import Guide

[frozen grove]

-# I should edit that to link the channel

#spritepack-releases

[austere raft]

No problem, thanks for answering! Assuming you aren't gonna play it anymore on mob, did you delete the sprites on your gallery manually or is there a faster method you used?

[rapid lodge]

Appreciate it!

[polar snow]

Does the launcher still work?

[frozen grove]

Not right this second

[rain swallow]

i redeleted it all and used the lightweight installer link again instead of mediafire since it was 2.1gb like you said and that worked

thank you for all your help

[bleak bay]

Sorry quick question I don't wanna add to much to the mayhem going on right now.

Is the android download thing something i can do entirely on my phone?

Sometimes I see people say go on your computer and download this and transfer it to your phone for this that and another reason.

Just wanna make sure before I download it and f up my phone

[brazen tiger]

Hi guys, my game doesn't run, I deleed and intalled makes 3 time. In the screenshot you can see that says "HEAD is now at e11e6227 possible missing file" can anyone help me?

[ionic tendon]

As Dino mentioned earlier that’s not an error

Sino*

-# sorry @quasi abyss

[quasi abyss]

[brazen tiger]

I don't have seen the message... soo can someone help me? My game don't start

[austere raft]

IT WORKED, thank you!

[broken folio]

Lightweight Installer works well now, thanks for your dedicated work!
That said, it seems some sprites have been removed? The screenshot shows all auto-downloaded sprites for Blissey X Ditto, but I had a fried egg sprite in use before that was also auto-downloaded and is now gone (no need to manually install sprite pack for it)...

Just curious what happened there to the sprites now missing cause I liked that one, my other fusion sprites seem fine, I don't expect help for that, just confirmation how that happened 🙂

[verbal timber]

1. delete the folders/zips you downloaded unless they were recent [i.e., within the last like 10 min or so]
2. if you still have the guide page open, refresh it
3. click any of the 3 links for the lightweight dl, they all work
4. follow the guide from there

[verbal timber]

@brazen tigermeant to ping reply you with this but discord derped

[brazen tiger]

thanks i will try

[austere raft]

Hello, I just did it as well and used a text file and renamed it as .nomedia and it worked. Have you tried doing it on your phone's default manager? The .nomedia doesn't appear on the file manager once renamed as it is in the default file manager, but does appear in the RAR one.

[upbeat swallow]

Hello, A sprite is missing in-game

[verbal timber]

missing in what regard?

like it is invis
like it is a white circle with a ?
like your dex is showing a credit under an autogen with a spriter name

[eager vortex]

I updated my game and now it won't open

[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]

for both 2 and 3

[eager vortex]

I coulda swore my version was the latest one

[verbal timber]

you might have updated from 6.6.2 to 6.7 but there was yet another jank issue where some people got the whole "game opens briefly then closes after updating" so your best bet is just reinstall

[eager vortex]

alright

[copper cosmos]

im trying to update my game but it gives me an error

[frozen grove]

?tag screenshot

[pearl magnet]

It is VERY helpful and makes it so much easier to help you if you provide a screenshot of your issue.

• To screenshot: Press Windows Key + SHIFT + S
• To paste it into Discord: Press CTRL + V

[frozen grove]

Not an error there

[copper cosmos]

got hte screenshot of hte error itself now

my version is 6.6.2 atm

[verbal timber]

no the launcher thinks your game version is 6.6.2

but it isn't

[frozen grove]

Launcher also won’t work rn anyways so reinstall from #downloads

[eager vortex]

after reinstalling how would I get my saves over?

[broken folio]

savefiles should be in a separate place, so even if you install/uninstall the game they are still there

[eager vortex]

I'm confused would I just put these in the new one? 😭

[fathom forge]

Any idea? Update keeps pinging an error

[verbal timber]

do not use the launcher rn

it isn't working correctly with the game files

delete both of those and use the lightweight guide

[void light]

small text bug with the French version, certain characters are missing in the font, notably the apostrophe used for example in this text

[eager vortex]

alright

[verbal timber]

there is no error though

that looks fine, so if you are seeing an error, please screenshot that and post it here

[sterile pivot]

What command do I use to see a fusion of two Pokémon

And where do I do it

[bleak bay]

Im a little stuck on step 5. It says exit the rar tool and navigate to my download folder in my file app and install joiplay. I found the right file (I think) but all I can do is extract it somewhere. Not actually install it. Did I miss something?

[verbal timber]

that isn't a tech support question

[sterile pivot]

Is tech support for the game and not the Discord

[verbal timber]

yes, we only assist with tech issues for the game

[sterile pivot]

Ah

[verbal timber]

just as a heads up, i am not sure android has updated downloads, so you would be on v6.6.2

it usually takes a hot minute since sapp wants to make sure things are stable before updating the link

if you are fine with that, make sure you do step 4 first tho

which says to extract those into the infinitefusion android folder

then you can go to step 5 which is exit the tool and then go find those files to install them

[bleak bay]

I swear to God it's the same thing every time. I think I did everything correctly but I skipped over the very last thing. Every time. Im sorry I just overlooked the "repeat for pifandroidplugin" thing.

[viscid mantle]

should i be missing a file?

[verbal timber]

are you missing a file?

[bleak bay]

And just to let ya know I don't care if it's out of date but thank you for the heads up

[viscid mantle]

ive never done this before so i have no clue but i dont think so

[pseudo grotto]

Can someone help me install it on my phone?

[pseudo grotto]

I can't find the links RPG maker and the other

[verbal timber]

[viscid mantle]

i use the game.exe to load it and it does work sadly

[verbal timber]

why is that a sad thing

[viscid mantle]

i get to the small box then it just disappears

[quasi abyss]

oh so you meant doesn't

[verbal timber]

ok, then you might have a download from before things got fixed

[worthy compass]

Just downloaded the game onto my computer and some of the sprites are just question marks, did i do something wrong?

[verbal timber]

so i'd recommend deleting the infinitefusion folder, and the zip if you still have it
if you still have the guide page open refresh it, and the click a link to get the download

[viscid mantle]

ok

the light wight installer?

[verbal timber]

ye

the launcher is currently borked, no guarantee it will get fixed

[viscid mantle]

ok

[verbal timber]

and that is why

the launcher is currently borked

recommended to yeet the folder for it and reinstall using the lightweight guide

no eta on a fix for the launcher, assuming it can be fixed

[fathom forge]

ah got it, thank you

[earnest oracle]

[quasi abyss]

Never mind it was frogs job

LMAO

something with the outfits went wrong and we thought it was an actual sprite issue

[earnest oracle]

Gotcha! Thank god cause I would have felt bad

how would i find my missing sprites

or download them

[verbal timber]

see the above screenshot

have download data turned on in the options
be connected to the internet

[onyx wolf]

So after the new update my type themed gyms on randomized mode seem to be incorrect, according to the man by the statues, brocks gym is ice, however the first trainer had trapinch/muk so ground/poison second had a togepi/lileep mix and a butterfree/bastiodon. Not sure if this is a new bug or just one I never came across before the update

[frozen grove]

Did you reshuffle after updating?

[onyx wolf]

Yeah, its also an entirely new save

[frozen grove]

Sounds like a text bug. I know w/ remix, it doesn't say the correct types either

[unborn apex]

I m new to this, i downloaded the game on linux it just blackscreen with sound after cutscane,

Tried it on supported android (a34) same issue, bit research on reddit it because it try to download sprite, so run both on linux and android and wait it to finish (diagnosed network on linux the game doesnt try to download anything), both get past blacscreen to mainscreen with ? sprite, can get the game untill it freeze on choosing first pokemon

[onyx wolf]

Seems like that's most likely the issue, he ended up being all ground types so I guess its back to blind gym runs 🤣

[verbal timber]

that first bit would indicate your linux device is struggling to load the game

[frozen grove]

Not necessarily, likely still the wifi issue

[verbal timber]

that is also possible as well

[frozen grove]

Because it needs to download the sprites for the title screen

I actually tested this in engine because it happens to me a lot (Poor wifi area) and for me it takes 43 seconds per sprite

[verbal timber]

i go with performance first and then default to wifi after that

just simplifies things

[frozen grove]

So for the title screen, I end up with a black screen for a lil over 2 minutes before the title screen loads

[unborn apex]

Well goverment is strict, and limiting download speed that is true, but in my linux i use encrypted dns, and both android and linux has same proble with android doesnt have any network setting

[frozen grove]

[verbal timber]

ouch

?tag wifi

[pearl magnet]

For never ending loading screens, try turning off WiFi/internet on your device and try again. For some reason, even though your internet might be working just fine, something about this game clogs it up. Once you are in game, if issue persists, turn off Download Data as well. For Android users, you may also need to turn off your mobile data.

Note: When you are disconnected from the internet, sprites will not be automatically downloaded resulting in missing sprites. If the game will only work offline for you, you may need to download and import the newest spritepack from #spritepack-releases. Do NOT download the pack if you plan on also playing while connected to the internet.

[frozen grove]

That's basically the only fix for the wifi issue

[verbal timber]

meant to ask, wouldn't it make sense to direct them to the full pack and not the newest sprite pack, since that specifically only has sprites from that month

[frozen grove]

Yea, I can change the wording to say full pack

shit

[hollow crane]

Hello! Has anyone been getting an issue where the hats aren't mirroring in battle for your pokemon? (After 6.7 update)

[severe patio]

Is 6.7 version available to Mac as well?

I downloaded a new version but its still 6.6

[frozen grove]

You should be able to update it as normal

[frozen grove]

Is it mirrored in the summary screen?

[hollow crane]

yeah, ill show you!

[severe patio]

could you point me out the normal way?

[frozen grove]

It’s in the Mac guide, it has a section for how to update

[turbid terrace]

Hey @frozen grove!

How to Update to the Latest Version (Windows)

• If you're on or above 6.6.0 double click INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat to 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 reshuffle if you need help.

For Non-Windows devices (Android, Mac, Steamdeck, Linux, Chromebook): Check our extended guides post

[severe patio]

k lemme check

[hollow crane]

edit: didn't read properly haha. It's as intended in the summary screen and it is not mirrored. It stays the same position in battle though and it doesnt mirror to reflect the mirrored pokemon sprite

so yeah...rather stumped. It happens with every pokemon with a hat in battle

[severe patio]

it still says 6.6.1 for me, i double clicked the bat. Whats supposed to happen from there?

I wanted to play the legendary mode

D:

@frozen grove could ya help me out?

[frozen grove]

Try it again and send a screenshot of the black window when it’s done

[severe patio]

what black window? it just opens Whisky normally

[frozen grove]

When you go to update the game? Should pull up a terminal

[severe patio]

it isn't for me. the process is going to Downloads/Folder/bat right?

and double-clicking it

it's just opening Whisky

[frozen grove]

It should open a black terminal like this

Are you watching megamans video guide for installing?

[severe patio]

no idea who that is

[frozen grove]

Where did you download from

[severe patio]

from here

[frozen grove]

Okay, on that Mac guide, there’s a video guide

That guide is posted by Megaman

It tells you how to update

[frozen grove]

Ope- sorry I forwarded it to frog already

I forgot to update you here

I’ll make a report for it if I don’t hear from him soon

oh ok I undertand the error I think

thanks 🙂

thank you!

[severe patio]

Ok TLDR worked, but why is it when I open Whisky through the tutorial it's like I have no save file, but actually running the game on folder loads it up?

[frozen grove]

No clue, Apple shenanigans I guess?

[severe patio]

screw it then it's working so I'll just do it like this

How to restore to a backup save

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

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

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

[charred abyss]

Just updated the game and tried launching the game, and when I try to skip the cutscene to get to the menu, I get this. Did I mess something up in the update? I clicked the Update.bat and updated the game as I always have, what did I do wrong or how can I fix this?

[frozen grove]

Reupdate, this should’ve been fixed

[tranquil kindle]

how do i rename files

[charred abyss]

Alright cool, thank you!

[verbal timber]

right click the file and then choose rename

[lethal prism]

Is there a way to make Download Data stay off? It keeps turning back on if I reload the game... otherwise it's just not compatible with my wifi anymore or something and freezes

[cloud zenith]

After updating the game, I lost all the sprites

[cobalt prism]

same

lost the installer, launcher, pretty much everything

[cloud zenith]

Did you get it back?

[cobalt prism]

nope

everything is broken

[frozen grove]

Make sure you’re setting it inside a save, not on the save selection screen

[frozen grove]

?tag resetcache

[pearl magnet]

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

[cloud zenith]

Still not fixed. I turned off the download thingy too

[frozen grove]

?tag missingsp

[pearl magnet]

REGARDING SPRITE ISSUES:

NOTE: If you are offline and cannot play the game online, download the newest spritepack from #spritepack-releases (NOT APPLICABLE FOR ANDROID)

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 while playing before going on cooldown, you have simply hit the download cap for now.
If you still feel like your sprites are not download, ensure that you have your "download data" option enabled.

If you have not seen even a single sprite for any pokemon:
Your game is not 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 OR your device is not connected to internet.
  Step 1. Ensure you have a good internet connection.
  Step 2. Check your options in a save, turn on "download data" if it was turned off.
  Step 3. 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 4. If that did not fix it: do a full reinstall.

If you still do not believe your game is working properly:
Step 1. Delete your whole install. Your saves will be fine as they are stored elsewhere. (If on a non-windows device, refer to your device's respective guide for save locations.)
Step 2. Reinstall following the applicable installation guide.
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

If for some reason none of this works, type ?tag altdownload in #ask-a-bot and reinstall using those files (NOT APPLICABLE FOR ANDROID)

[lilac glacier]

For me, not only did I lose all my save data after the update, but now, I cant open the sprite menu on a pokemon summary

[verbal timber]

the steamdeck video guide had the means of keeping save data

[lilac glacier]

Im not expecting to get it back or anything, but I would like to figure out the sprite menu. Im wondering if ill have to reinstall the game or if there is a way to fix it with the help man. Or something else

[frozen grove]

Read the message directly above the first one you sent

The beeg message from deino saying “Regarding sprite issues”

[balmy gulch]

Sorry to ask a probably dumb question, but the installation guide says the installer won't work for people with Win 10/11 Pro. Was that a recent change, and is there anything I can do about it, or am I just screwed now?

[frozen grove]

Also your saves from gaming mode won’t show up in desktop mode, just an fyi

[frozen grove]

You can try it but it’s a 50/50 change if it’ll work. It’s not recent like in the last couple month, however

[balmy gulch]

I used to be able to play this game no problem, but now it won't install for me, but I'll give it another try before I give up

[frozen grove]

Well the game should install fine, even on pro. If you’re having a specific issue, send it here tho

[balmy gulch]

Will do, thanks

[frozen grove]

The issues with pro are either maps not loading or the game throwing random errors

[balmy gulch]

Aah gotcha, I've never had issues with that, so hopefully it'll cooperate.

[obtuse gust]

after the update i lost access to debug mode

I tried to update the game, but now every time I try to play, the launcher just closes.

[frozen grove]

?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

I made my game full screen in the settings and it started glitching out and going black and then back to the game, I exited out but why is this an issue?

[verbal timber]

?tag fullscreen

[pearl magnet]

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

We recommend setting the Screen Size option to a lower setting and dragging the corners of the window to make the screen larger instead for computers having issues.
You can also try updating your Graphics Drivers and seeing if that helps with certain graphical issues.

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 to fix:

1. Go to a Pokemon Center and talk to Help Man (guy in black suit)
2. Select Advanced Settings -> Randomizer Settings -> Turn Trainers/Gyms OFF
   Note: If you are on Expert Mode, you can go to the help man and switch back to Classic rather than turning off random trainers.

you are fine, the launcher has been finnicky since 6.6

there's a reason why we made a note saying it might get discontinued since it wasn't being actively updated

my game keeps crashing this is just one error message... there are others sometimes while debugging sometimes while just walking around

i did reinstall and i also restarted my computer

So....what if I'm having the same issue as him, and have already reinstalled twice? lol

[frozen grove]

If you reinstalled from #downloads you wouldn’t still be using the launcher since it’s all crossed out in there

[spring idol]

I'm not, I'm using the light installer or whatever

[frozen grove]

Did you delete all of your old files prior to reinstalling from #downloads ?

[spring idol]

Didn't the first time, did the second time. Still no go.

[frozen grove]

Send a screenshot of your game folder

[spring idol]

Sorry for the janky pic, can't seem to get windows to screenshot for some reason so had to take a pic with my phone

[grizzled mica]

so what i did to fix it was delete the entire infinite fusion folder and reinstall.. i backed up the save file but i didnt have to...

[spring idol]

That's what I did too, after the first install attempt. Deleted my old, launcher installation folder, then deleted the new lightweight installer folder as well, and retried the process.

[grizzled mica]

[frozen grove]

What guide are you using to reinstall. Send it here

[spring idol]

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

All those files work, they’ve all been tested. Only other thing to try is using the altdownload. You’re still gonna have to run the installer to update, however

[pearl magnet]

Alt Download

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

[spring idol]

So, one thing I noticed: step 4 of the instructions says that there should be two (and only two) files in the folder once you've extracted.
I definitely had more than two.

[grizzled mica]

i feel like the only reason youd still be having the problem is if somehow you didnt delete the actual folder its launching from

thats just a hunch

[frozen grove]

It definitely should only have two. I downloaded it myself to triple check and it only had two

[grizzled mica]

yeah i also had only 2

[spring idol]

Wth lol aight, let me fiddle with some shit and see if I can't figure out where the nonsense started

[grizzled mica]

have to run the install in a cmd window

[frozen grove]

Make sure you refresh the download page too just in case

[spring idol]

Yeah, I'm eradicating any IF related files from my download folder and recycle bin, and then redownloading the installer

I still had old install zips sitting in my downloads, so I'm wondering if some goofy entanglement bs happened somehow

[frozen grove]

Very well could have

[grizzled mica]

potentially deleted the wrong folder and kept the wrong one as a result

[quiet lark]

Just for when you do get a chance to look into it (I know you can't tonight, no big, just letting you know for more info), I backed up my save and used the debug tool then refought the elite four and the issue does persist

[turbid terrace]

[spring idol]

Nah. Only things that didn't get deleted were the old, still zipped install downloads. All open folders got the kibosh. But who knows what nonsense winrar may have done with multiple, similarly named zip files being in the same place though.

My download speed ain't the best, so it'll be a minute before I have an update

Just out of curiousity, what file size should the lightweight installer zip be?

[rugged knot]

hey, I just tried to update the game but now whenever I try and open the game it comes up with this error and closes

[slow kernel]

i cant get the game launcher to show up

[spring idol]

Huh. Glad I ran a search on my PC to look for any potential errant files. Found some old stuff, I guess from previous installations, in my roaming and local AppData directories. Might be that's where my issue is coming from.

[frozen grove]

Appdata is where your saves were stored

[frozen grove]

You’re missing files, re-extract

[frozen grove]

Reinstall from #downloads

[spring idol]

I mean, I haven't played in a good while, if my old saves go bye bye in my hamfisted troubleshooting attempts, so be it.

That being said, I'm not gonna poke around anymore, so I don't accidentally delete something important.

Yeah. Things were definitely wonky before. Runing the installer this time, the "receiving objects" step was only 2686 items: before, it was like 19000 lol

And we appear to be good. Thanks for the assist y'all.

[grizzled mica]

interesting

i think thats where my deletion kept stopping...

cause i had a stuck instance of the launcher open in the bg

and there was a file in use error

[spring idol]

Was probably my fault, my wonky install probably stole your files lol

[grizzled mica]

2686 files deleted of like 25000 or so

[twilit cobalt]

Hey guys, I'm missing sprites for Yanmega, and I'm a little lost with fixing it. Will this impact fusions or cause crashing?

Game doesn't seem to be passively downloading any sprites and only tries to download when I encounter something new, which causes around 10-15s of delay depending on how many sprites a Pokémon has

Actually, looking into it: I just have no base sprites whatsoever.

[lime raven]

question? if sato uninstalls infinite fusion then reinstalls it will it bring me to the new updated version?

[verbal timber]

yes, that is how sprites work

battling and fusing sends a ping to the repo so the game can download sprites

[verbal timber]

why not just update outright?

only reason a reinstall would be needed is if you are on android [which that link may not be up to v6.7] or if you updated and are having weird issues getting the game to start up

[lime raven]

I think my file is old didn’t have time to update it

[verbal timber]

somewhere between 1 and the inevitable heat death of the universe

[covert thunder]

Even the base sprites? 'Cus that feels like something that should just be part of the core game files.

[verbal timber]

yep, game comes with 0 sprites

have downloada data turned on
be connected to the internet
battle/fuse
game grabs sprites as it is able

[covert thunder]

Guess I'm manually downloading 'em 'cus this randomizer run is struggling

[verbal timber]

note that the full pack lacks instructions on how ot get the base sprites, which are also in that

[lime raven]

Sato is on 2.4.0.0 which is why I was asking

[halcyon hill]

guys i downloaded the game from a website now what do i do

[verbal timber]

ok, if somehow you are on v2.4 of this game, your save is dead

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:

1. 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 named Savefile to take you to the location to delete all save files. They are named File A.rxdata.
2. Delete any zipped/unzipped folders from there
3. Run a virus scan

After doing all the steps, use #downloads to download the real files.

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.

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

[covert thunder]

Hm. My issue got weirder - I copied over all the sprites (base and custom) but for some reason only the custom sprites are actually working

[marsh silo]

got this when updating the game through the launcher

and the progress window seems normal

cant close command prompt either

[verbal timber]

scroll up a bit, launcher is borked atm

[marsh silo]

alright

[verbal timber]

either reinstall with lightweight or use the game files to play

[marsh silo]

is it safe for me to close command prompt with task manager?

[verbal timber]

should be

[marsh silo]

yeah nothing happened

i think its fixed

[verbal timber]

go into the sprites to import folder and make sure it is empty

[marsh silo]

it gave me a popup telling me theres a new update

when i relaunched the launcher

[verbal timber]

ignore that

[marsh silo]

didnt give me it last time

[covert thunder]

It's empty. Another oddity I just found: some base sprites do work but for some reason have no artist credit and just say "imported sprite"

[verbal timber]

none of the imported sprites will have a credit

?tag resetcache

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

To 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.

[covert thunder]

No dice. Could you show me an example of how the sprites directory should look?

Basically just the file directory info

[verbal timber]

unfortunately mine would look different than yours since i get my sprites the normal way

but i can give you the rough file path stuff

[covert thunder]

Yeah, I wanna try just dropping the images into the intended directory if they're not being put in the right place by the importer

[verbal timber]

you don't do that

you have to put sprites you want into the sprites to import folder

doing ANYTHING else may not have them show up correctly

[covert thunder]

Hey, I'm a consenting adult. If it doesn't work I'l undo it. Worst case scenario I lose 10 minutes of progress and redownload

[verbal timber]

in your instance the pathing would be

InfiniteFusion Folder/Graphics/CustomBattlers/loacal_sprites and then both the BaseSprites folder and the indexed folder

[covert thunder]

Okay, looks like everything is present and accounted for

[verbal timber]

then i'm not sure what to tell you

because importing the sprites in the correct manner should work fine

the fact it isn't either leads me to believe there is something on your end being dumb or; possible [but unlikely] something is hard borked with the full pack

[covert thunder]

Definitely something weird going on - I just tested some encounters and got a Nidoran that showed up fine, then one that showed up as the big ? sprite

Scratch that, the first one was male and the second was female. I just gaslit myself

Ah, I think I've figured it out.

Looks like something got screwed up somewhere in the indexing - the artist credits are fully indexed but have no assigned images, and the images are all present but with incorrect/missing metadata

[ruby elm]

I think something is broken with the pokeradar, even when my pokemon is at the proper level I keep getting in instant encounters and I can't capture rare mons because of it

[covert thunder]

In addition to this I just checked one of the entries for a working mon - each image is doubled up, one with artist credit and one without.

On the sprite issue: I tried a completely fresh download, cleared the cache, deleted my saves, and then used the importer to bring all the base sprites in.

It didn't work. The game is developing the same issue where it has sprite entries for uncredited images and entries for credited images with no actual image assigned to them.

No idea, frankly, how to begin fixing that.

[verbal timber]

you need necrozmium for the shift, the ONLY way to get that is on the event necrozma

so you would have needed to cheat to have it that early

same w photon geyser as that is learned at lvl 50

[solemn ether]

Yea, apparently, Joiplay just has installed Pokemon cheats. Weird huh???

[verbal timber]

it is joiplay itself

[solemn ether]

Wait, so your aware that I was using randomizer???

[verbal timber]

figured either that or custom starter

[solemn ether]

I chose Bulbasaur as my starter

[covert thunder]

I'm aware uncredited sprites are meant to be normal, I'm just saying that's what seems to be causing the conflict/issue: the uncredited sprites are pulling the relevant images, but the credited sprites have no images and are still counted and added to the sprite options.

Downloads are off. I made sure they were off before I created the save file and the problem still occurred.

I've followed the instructions for manual sprite importing to the letter, but even with the sprites present and available in-game it still breaks.

[verbal timber]

but either wat the joiplay cheats break the rules

[solemn ether]

Necrozma and Arceus I found along the way

Just prancing in the fields

[verbal timber]

then yeah i got nothing

[solemn ether]

Also, I just used Rare candies to get to lvl 50

I saved before doing that cause I just wanted to see the Ultra Necrozma

[blissful nest]

Im also having an issue after updating the game in relation to the sprites, some sprites for both un-fused & fused pokemon aren't showing up

Tried resetting with the Help Man but it did not seem to fix it

[covert thunder]

I've figured out what's causing the problem, but it's looking like there's no immediate fix.

[verbal timber]

have you seen any custom sprites at all, doesn't matter if it was a base sprite or a fusion

[covert thunder]

The credited sprites seem to use the /CustomBattlers/spritesheets/spritesheets_base/ directory but the imported sprites use \CustomBattlers\local_sprites\BaseSprites and it looks like the two use different image formatting. The former has one large image with all the sprites on, and the former uses individual images for each sprite.

[verbal timber]

yes, normally the sheets are downloaded as you play

if you have download data turned on

[blissful nest]

Yes, all the pokemon i had before, fused or not, were still showing up as normal before the update, now some pokemon i haven't seen before aren't getting their sprites

[verbal timber]

there is always a chance for fused mons

even on classic/remix

[wooden knot]

problem also fixed thank you verry much

[blissful nest]

Any chance an option for that to be disabled will be included in a future update?

[verbal timber]

unlikely

it is part of the story of the game

splicers are so plentiful people throw em away and then wild mons get ahold of them and then...fusion

[covert thunder]

That's... a roundabout way of handling the files. Anyone who doesn't want their game constantly interrupted by sprite downloads has double the storage and exponentially more files, and in this case it seems that the extra storage is being used to no effect 'cus it still tries to prioritise the non-existent spritesheets instead of the imported sprites and will try to download superfluous files if the download option ever turns on despite individual sprites existing.

I dunno, I get that the sprites issue is being monitored by staff but these feels like a weird oversight. I'm guessing spritesheets are used to lessen the burden on individual downloads since a single files requires a lot less dedicated processing, but for manual sprite importing they use individual sprites to accommodate updating/adding a single sprite for a mon instead of having to rebuild the spritesheet?

Maybe I'm being too simple-minded but I feel like it could be fixed by a single line of code checking for files in the base_sprites directory, and ignoring the spritesheets directory if the former exists since it would only exist if a person went out of their way to update the sprites manually. Either that or changing the manual sprite download to also use spritesheets, if their generation can be automated.

[verbal timber]

you aren't meant to mix the two

[blissful nest]

Makes sense, it just that seeing wild fusions drains my creativity, i lose interest in using those pokemon or catching them if they are already fused, it takes some of the charm of them for me unfortunately

[covert thunder]

I get that, but from what I've seen you apparently can't use one of them at all.

[blissful nest]

Thanks for the response and help anyhow

[verbal timber]

you either have the sheets which is the current method of handling sprites [as it takes up less space] or you have the packs which is the old method of handling sprites [which means all sprites are individual images]

[wooden knot]

also is this a gen one specific game i was wondering if it had other gen pokemon in it cause alot of rom hacks tend to?

[verbal timber]

not a romhack

?tag pokedex

[pearl magnet]

All Gen 1 - 2 Pokémon are in the game, and the Pokémon that are included from Gen 3 - 7 (as well as their location and Pokédex number) can be found here:

Hey @verbal timber! 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.

[stray canopy]

Thank you

[junior grotto]

i tried looking thorugh pins and searching through using the search bar, but I don't know how to phrase it. I have an old save before the clothes were added and my character body sprite is blank with my hair offset

[verbal timber]

tell you what, i have another option for you, if you want to tackle it

[covert thunder]

I can't say as to the trigger/cause, all I can do is speculate on the influencing factors and offer a potential fix suggestion.

The two different methods of handling files has managed to generate a conflict which arose because I didn't want the gameplay being so frequently interrupted, which I presume would be a common sentiment

[verbal timber]

hold whatever button you use to sprint and then move around

[junior grotto]

sorry to bug you with something so simple. thank you

[verbal timber]

nah you guchi

[covert thunder]

Fire away, captain. I got another 90 minutes of my 4 hour energy to burn

Alt Download

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

[verbal timber]

^grab this [you will need to run the updater]

that should have all the current sprite sheets in it

or if not, it will have most of them save but maybe the past few months worth

if by SOME miracle you still have sprite issues, the problem is on your end

[covert thunder]

Boooo. That's not a tackle, that's a cop out!

That said I just deleted my save files again and went about deleting the spritesheets. I'll check out the alt files after testing this all out.

[verbal timber]

it is a bit of both

but yeah

[covert thunder]

But yeah, currently it seems anyone who starts the game and uses the in-game download functionality at all is essentially forever locked out of manually updating the sprites to avoid frequent game interruptions.

And vice versa, of course

[verbal timber]

yes

[pearl bloom]

Figured I'd ask just in case but I got the error where the newest update of the game causes the game to not launch. Was this fixed yet and I just did a stupid or is it still being looked into?

[turbid terrace]

Hey @pearl bloom!

How to Update to the Latest Version (Windows)

• If you're on or above 6.6.0 double click INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat to 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 reshuffle if you need help.

For Non-Windows devices (Android, Mac, Steamdeck, Linux, Chromebook): Check our extended guides post

[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.

[pearl bloom]

I did do a clean install just now and still got the issue. I do not use the launcher.

[verbal timber]

the issue you are describing indicates you didn't

at least i assume that is what you meant by the game not loading

if not

?tag moreinfo

[pearl magnet]

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, links from discord, website, etc.?)
3. Are you using the Launcher?
4. Did you update to 6.6 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.

[pearl bloom]

Basically what I mean by the game not loading is a black screen popping up for a few seconds then closing. That's it. Install looks fine when I install it but something somewhere is clearly angry.

I installed it into a new folder.

I play on Windows.

[turbid terrace]

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

I do not get that message, no but thanks anyways bot.

yeah that issue is the olddata issue

Which I assume by the sound of it that it means I have old data somewhere which makes no sense since I deleted the folder and emptied the trash bin.

[verbal timber]

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

but yeah

[ripe summit]

Try the MediaFire download

[pearl bloom]

I'll get rid of the zip as well and do a complete new download. See if that works.

[verbal timber]

the links were all working yesterday afternoon about like an hour or two after the update dropped, sapp and i checked them

[ripe summit]

Uninstall it and reinstall, if it doesn't work when you reinstall try reinstalling from the MediaFire link

[verbal flame]

do i just need to copy my savefile folder and paste it after reainstalling and everything should be fine?

Savefiles are stored separately, so uninstalling won't remove them

[verbal flame]

ok then,thanks

[verbal timber]

unless you are on steamdeck or android

im on PC

[verbal timber]

I have to include that as a just in case because we've had people not mention that until after they uninstalled on one of those platforms and then come back to complain their save is gone

yeah fair

but yes, for PC, saves are tucked away separate from the game files

[trim crater]

Question. How can i save my progress when i upgrade my version of the game? I don´t wanna lose my team

save the game

as stated above, saves on most platforms aren't tied to your game files

if you are on steamdeck, the video guide has info in its drop down on how to keep your save
if you are on android; that has a section on keeping your save

[summer zealot]

it's not letting me update from 6.7 to 6.6.2

[verbal timber]

how so?

[fallow wyvern]

Don't use the launcher, use the lightweight, cause launcher is pretty broken for now with the new update

[verbal timber]

your game is updated

you can use the game files in the launcher files to play

or yeet the launcher and reinstall with lightweight

when i try to launch the game through the files it just auto crashes

because the guide for that is in this chat

but that download is on v6.6.2

so if you want to take advantage of anything in 6.7, you are tough outta luck

[fallen jungle]

67

thx

[covert thunder]

After further testing, the problem is a lot more insidious to the point of manually downloading the base sprites being practically useless:

The game automatically enables the download data option and overrides your previous setting without any player input on a few different occasions, but the most annoying of all is after character creation. So it's impossible have a save file that has never had the download sprites option enabled, which means it's probably impossible to avoid the issue of blank entries on the sprite list and the conflict with manual sprite imports on a fresh download of the lightweight installer.

Hopefully these woes of mine can be used to shape an update that remedies and prevents the issue being able to occur. In the meantime, I'm all out of 4hr Energy so I'm gonna make like Darkrai and embrace oblivion.

once it is like that, you save the game and it will keep it that way

you can also disable your wifi/internet
