Hey, do u guys had crash problem with Vault of Knowledge? It crashes every time when I proceed to the 4th constellation, with that crystal elevator thing đ but I can't go any further. When I resume the game I'm on that crystal and I can't do anything, proceed to anywhere, I can only fly around with no purpose

Anyone knows if they are working on better resolution options? There is a graphic setting but even with full graphics it looks blurry.
And optimization for the exynos chips? I feel like my phone(s10e) should perform better.
Thanks in advance
weak sigil
Are there optimisations coming for the game ?
static ridge
Samsung Galaxy S10e is a 60fps device so you're getting the best graphics options available. We support Exynos chipsets (Mali GPU)
we're always optimizing, you'll typically see improvements with each patch.
karmic locust
60 fps is fine but like I said it looks so blurry. I think its not like that on iPhones. Is it going to get better or that just how it is on Android?
static ridge
I'm honestly not sure, I have 60fps on both android and ios devices and it looks the same. and that's on a much older samsung s8
The clouds can sometimes look blurry but that's because they're constantly moving and rendering to look like real clouds.

Hello, I don't know if anyone had reported this already. But in the new seasonal area, when my friend holds my hand and moves, my camera starts to shake and turn away from us. Eventually it stops following me to the point that I am no longer in the frame, and occasionally goes through surfaces and the ground. It stops once my friend lets go of my hand though. Just wanted to ask if this is a bug?
static ridge
That's definitely a bug with the camera, if you have time and are able to capture screenshots or videos of it, please submit a bug report #bug-reports-android
The signed in account and linked account can be different and I don't believe causes any trouble other than confusion. You can contact in-game Support to help you transfer the linked account to a different one.

static ridge
Emulators are not supported or allowed. If someone was using an emulator, they probably had to do some hacking to make it work....which is against ToS.
Like Cobalt said we plan to develop for additional platforms in the future, the first up being Nintendo Switch. No ETA on the PC port at this time.

Could someone tell me if with this quarantine the developers are fixing bugs in the game on android? Why can't I see an update being released?
the last update was 10 days ago dude
chill
static ridge
iOS devices heat up and drain battery as well, it isn't unique to Android. Sky is not your typical mobile game. The graphics are on par with many console and PC games. We're very, very clever with optimizations and asset rendering to squeeze it onto a mobile device but it's still going to lean on the resource-intensive side.
We optimize with every update and that won't stop any time soon. These optimizations tend to be very incremental and may not feel like much but in the grand scheme are great strides.
We resolved a lot of issues with friends poofing randomly right before android launch, but there are some persistent tricky issues with holding hands and entering new areas that hit a load screen. I know the engineering team is actively working on it, but we don't have an ETA for that fix yet.
The dev team is entirely remote so we're a little slower than when the team was in the office together, but we are constantly adding fixes. These typically need a new patch to roll out, unless it's backend fix we can apply without a major update. Patches typically roll out every 2-3 weeks or as needed depending on the severity of the issue needing fixed.
fast hearth
An answer for majority of bugs reports, thank you!
reef reef
Ktjn, just wondering, is the team looking forward to unleashing the full graphics potential on consoles and pc?
static ridge
I'm not entirely sure what the game will look like on other platforms, and while we can certainly worry less about things like memory caps for console, we will still have to be clever and efficient with our resources because we aren't abandoning mobile platforms and everything needs to be cohesive.
iron karma
Ktjn I also wonder is it true that the engine of this game has been built more than 100000 attempts seeing from the build number?
static ridge
technically, yes. Every change that is committed to the main code of the game is logged as build 1234567890 as needed. It's a process called version control that is used in software and game development. If a change is made that causes crashes and errors we can go look at the build the bug occurred on and diagnose the issue more readily. If it's big and bad enough we can roll it back to a previous version. It also means many people can work on the same thing without impacting one another's work.

And yes, the next port will be Nintendo Switch. We don't have a lot of details at this time since development is still early. The goal is to have crossplay and cross-saving, but we don't want to make promises we don't know if we can keep just yet.
The only known solution is pinned in this channel, GTTT7.

One last question. Is there a source that I can learn all the core things about Sky with no/minimal spoilers?

Okay, I'll try to find it
@small sparrow i'd say just play the game through yourself, most of what you pick up throughout the game is pretty intuitive

Wow okay thanks now i understand why its taking that long to port it to other platform
crimson citrus
Version control has nothing to do with the time it takes to port the game. It actually speeds it. Its a normal procedure to prevent adding bugs when you mess with the code, making everything unduable. Ports take long due to the devices diferences and specific characteristics. Some of them have operating systems that work compley diferent than the original platform and huge parts of the game have to be remade. Its not simple to foretell how long it takes.
fast hearth
@static ridge Still not workingďź I still can't find it in Google store
Is it normal that the game has a low rĂŠsolution on medium settings ? Im on the Xiaomi 9t
opaque zinc
@fast hearth Depends on a lot of different factors. There is only two settings, and if it is the lower one it might impact your graphics. This is meant to save your battery and other processing.
So yes, you can expect the resolution to change on a lower quality.

Hello. Is anyone facing really low fps issue? I have been playing Sky at constant 30 fps but now it frequently dips at around 5-10 fps range.
static ridge
It's no different that obtaining a modified APK from a third party source. It's not a supported platform and therefore against ToS. Typically the reason people use emulators is for botting and exploiting game economy. Sky will come to PC legitimately at a future date.
fps will depend on your device GPU's capabilities.
cosmic trellis
Sd 675 adreno 612
Capable of 30 fps at lowest settings

That GPU is on the low end of midrange, it may struggle to maintain 30fps.

The Eye of Eden resets once per week.
Next reset is on Sunday April 26 at 00:00 PDT (In 3 days 16 hours 57 minutes 37 seconds)
fast hearth
why in The Eye of Eden you can only be reborn once per week?
wicked cipher
You can go to Eden as many times as you want but the ||ascended candles you can earn from there|| is limited to weekly because if it wasnât, people could ascend every spirit in just a few days. It would kinda take away from the gameplay
fast hearth
@wicked cipherSo if I am reborn before that date I would not get the same amount of candles? what would be the difference?
solemn crypt
one: ||reborn|| is a spoiler
two: the way it works is that you ||get ascended candles when you give light to the frozen stone children||. the next time you go to eden before reset, ||all the children you already saved won't be there, so you have to go farther to get ascended candles||
wicked cipher
Iâm not quite sure what youâre asking, but there is a limited ||number of statues to save - 63 - each week. Statues have a conversion rate of 4 statues = 1 ascended candle, so you can only get 15.75 ascended candles each week. You can go to Eden as many times as you want but youâll only be able to save all 63 max in a given week. || Eden resets every Sunday PDT, meaning ||the statues all reappear.||
solemn crypt
Wing Buffs are extra stars you acquire by ||ascending spirits after going through Eden. Every Ancestor Spirit Map has at least one Wing Buff you can buy with the Ascended Candles that you can get in Eden,|| represented by a wing lock icon in the shop menu for each spirit. That will also unlock the clouded area of the constellation. There are 39 wing buffs you can get from spirits.
zealous flame
Oh i didn't know thx bro
fast hearth
@solemn crypt .Sorry i didn't noticeđ
So if I go before the reset there are fewer statues and would I have to go further to get a similar number of statues to the one that would have been reset?

How can I open the door in the home?

Th ||statues|| you mentioned are spoilers. Basically everything beyond the gate, and talking dynamics reveal that more often than not. Like the dynamics ||of the red rain|| for example 
fast hearth
Okay, I will take it into account, are they going to delete those messages or are they going to cover them up?
static ridge
@fast hearth sorry for ping, we're 100% able to do our work remotely, but some things move a little more slowly. Like I mentioned before, improvements come patch updates which are roughly every 2-3 weeks. We have to test internally, test on beta, finalize a build, submit it for review to apple/google, if approvedâ move forward, if notâback to square one. With the pandemic, reviews can take up to a week. Everything is slower for everyone around the world.
You should probably move eden questions over to #eden-spoilers There is a hard cap for ||currency you can obtain from eden|| similar to how daily quests and wax collection resets every 24 hours, eden resets once per week.

@potent granite in the pinned (top right area) messages there's a place for saved progress đ commonly it's due to attaching with a gmail account first
@barren tulip sorry to hear about your friends! If they can't play/download it, it's likely because their device isn't compatible. The pinned message (top right) explains some of this more in detail.
The crashing is a little harder to diagnose. If they are habitually crashing in the same area they can submit a bug here in the bugs channel so our devs can get eyes on it. As always, look through the known issues as well which may have more info
barren tulip
Ah thank you for the help i appreciate! will let them know to see if anything changes for them!
eternal glade
be sure to check for the minimum requirements and doing the basics like clearing their cache/settings
static ridge
Fom what I understand from the engineers the Forest (and other) crashes are a graphics+memory issue. we're working on it and hope to have it resolved in the next update. Oppo f9 seems to be one of the hardest hit devices by this particular issue. While compatible, the Mali-G72 MP3 GPU struggles to handle the graphics rendering a fair bit.

it looks like there's 5 models in the Galaxy a8 category that are incompatible:

if it's any other model, it should be compatible, but you may need to run the clear cache+data gamut on a bunch of google apps. (There are detailed instructions pinned in this channel)

Another question,
My friend has Samsung j5 2017 edition and SM-J530F

near iris
I don't wanna intervene a lot. But making a game is complicated and usually requires a lot of work for it to work on many phone models. We as players need to be patient and wait for perfomance updates. Sometimes it's impossible for some devices to handle a game like Sky
fast hearth
Sure but the problems are always from us players and not staff team. Even for those guys who update the game and don't work anymore. Google problem right?
tiny hamlet
They are working though, Pearly. And you usually don´t see a dev file a bug report or say "this and this isn´t working" here, they resolve that internally to the best of their ability and rely on player feedback for issues that might arise
fast hearth
I really respect sky because it works like a console game and it really cant be hurried, its a complex game with so much to work on,patience is the key and good things take time.
static ridge
Considering I have information from Google's game developer portal that explicitly states a device is compatible and players receive an incompatible message, yes that is Google's fault. things like crashing in Forest are our fault as a developer and why we're trying to fix it, it's a problem that never appeared during internal nor beta testing. Some things are out of our control and we feel just as helpless. What is within our control we do the absolute best to address it quickly. That includes many, many hours of overtime working day and night to deliver the best experience we can. When we're unable to do that, we're equally disappointed in ourselves.
wicked cipher
I donât want to pile on too much. Yes some of the bugs of the game are due to mistakes on their end. Thereâs no need to trash them for that though. I think the only way you can objectively judge the quality of how well the Android version is going is to wait a few months for them to have it better optimized.
If after a few months youâre still dissatisfied with the android version then itâs up to you to continue playing.

if a device rating is made in error, yes that's on us, but you going out and buying a new device is not on the studio. There's no reason to curse us out. You've asked questions, I've answered to the best of my ability with the information I have access to. in the end we're still human and mistakes happen, but it's not with malicious intent.

Hello I have a question
Will lowering the resolution of my phone give me a more stable fps?
unkempt plank
Will there be less crashing that way?
near iris
I'm not sure about that but it might help the crashing a little since your phone is not overworking too much to process the resolution (I'm not an expert so plz wait for a mod's help if it doesn't work)
unkempt plank
Oh I see, thank you! â¤ď¸
static ridge
In theory, yes. The forest and wasteland crashes are graphics+memory related, so it's a little more complex than that. We're working on fixing it, but it likely requires a patch.
unkempt plank
Oh I see

Would love if I crashed less, but doesnt really stop me from loving the game
Thank you!

Can you guys update the seassonal representation on role channel
static ridge
The crash is the device's way of preventing any damage from overheating while trying to render that area. We had a similar issue in the past that impacted iPhone 6 several patches ago that we were able to fix with reasonable ease. Hopefully this is also easy to resolve.

I asked this in looking-for-live but didnât receive any takers. I want to test something out: I am looking for an android player who crashes at forest/forest social space. I want to friend them then let them warp to me when I have reached the 2nd major map of forest. Maybe forest-warp-ubers can be a thing. I want to help other players experience more of sky if I can.
tiny hamlet
Iâm sure theyâll update roles channel when they have time. They have a lot to juggle i reckon Pearly

We will add a new role when the person who does that has time. Gearbot is a little finicky when adding new roles and is prone to breaking every role when trying to add new ones.

There is no option for 60 fps mode on Note 9. Tried the game on One Plus 7 and One Plus 7 pro and it runs beautifully at stable 60 fps.

im dying for reason samsung note 9 cant handle this kind of game .. the only i feel smoother is isle of dawn the rest its laggy. so it means pocophone f1 is more powerfull than note9 snapdragon 845

Use an FPS Counter

me too tried that already

Used gpu watch to see the fps and damn they were struggling to hit even stabel 30
Stable*
Had lows of like 10 and highs of 40
I guess I'll wait for the ps4 version if there is ever gonna be one.
fast hearth
Ok, I'm using a snapdragon 625 with adreno 503, at some map my GPU Stable around 10-23 fps, and also downgrade (In-game) graphics and Screen Res to 360p or 240p
lavish cypress
@hoary vessel lol im also waiting for ps4 .. but seem like nintendo switch first
hoary vessel
@fast hearth Didn't know that you can change the res.
The game already looks like its running at 720p max
hoary vessel
It isn't gonna help cause the game just renders at 720p
The exynos is just a shitty chipset I guess.
@lavish cypress Are u sure u have the snapdragon variant?
fast hearth
Change your main Android System resolution screen to 720, use ADB shell
It works on all phones
hoary vessel
@fast hearth Note 9 give the ability to lower the res in settings and yes I have done that already and it doesn't works sadlt
Sadly*
fast hearth
dude, what i mean use your computer to downgrade your phone screen res
I will link a yt video
I tried it it works perfectly on any phone
hoary vessel
@lavish cypress I tried the game on 2 different phones ruuning sd845 and the gane ran without any hiccups. So note 9 sd variant shouldn't have any issues
@fast hearth I know the adb shell commands u talking abt. I am just stating that it doesn't work
hoary vessel
I can already do that through the phone settings but it doesn't work
No need to run adb shell commands
fast hearth
then downgrade it to 480p for maximum performance and battery savingm
hoary vessel
Dude I am not gonna play a game on 480p, like cmon mate have some standards.

I know m8

Its better to wait for updates than doing that

You will have a trade off
But this game is like CRISIS
Isn't using our phone 100% capability
When i run the game it my gpu only reach around 97% most of the time 99% for few seconds
Most game use my gpu 100%

See, it's not using the full resources our phone have
If you play at 60fps your gpu need to hit 80% or more

oh you're on exynos
that explains it

@hoary vessel you should pick the snapdragon version
hoary vessel
They only have sd for china and america. Also they don't so as give u the choice lol
fast hearth
oh yeah i forgot about that
Only on some country you get the snapdragon
doesn't OnePlus use snapdragons in every region?
hoary vessel
@fast hearth Yeah

BUT, sadly the exynos will lose, because the when the snapdragon 865 and 765 release will have continue driver update.

hoary vessel
Either the android 10 is the issue or Note series is hated by the developers lol
glossy temple
Exynos CPUs are generally inferior in efficiency and performance compared to Qualcomm's CPUs actually from what I've seen over the years, so that could be the cause.
As for why the benchmark for the Adreno 540 is higher than the Adreno 610 it's because the Adreno 540 is actually a high end GPU that's part of the Snapdragon 835 SoC platform. The Adreno 610 on the other hand is part of the Snapdragon 665 SoC platform which is midrange.
A Snapdragon 835 will of course always outperform anything from the Snapdragon 600 series processor family, which would explain why the benchmark makes sense.
hoary vessel
I get it that exynos is inferior to snapdragon, but at least give me stable 30. The game for me is borderline unplayable with the fps drops. Also why is that a low end samsung phone with exynos 7904 gives much more stable framerate than a sufficiently powerful Note 9 with exynos 9810.
glossy temple
Older high end SoCs eventually get outperformed by newer generations of *mid-range hardware, which may be the case... The Samsung Note 9 was released in 2018, so it's now two years old. Could be due to poor operating optimization, stuff like that. Higher end CPUs also generate more heat which can cause thermal throttling to occur which will basically hinder their performance compared to lower end processors.
hoary vessel
Not this time around since the mali chipset used in that exynos variant is older than that on the 98 series
glossy temple
Does your phone get mildly warm while playing Sky?
hoary vessel
@glossy temple Thermal throttling should occur only after some period of extensive game session, but even at the start of the session the performance is poor. Also this game is heavily reliant on the gpu rather than the cpu. The cpu usage barely goes over 20% while gpu usage is constantly above 70%
All in all it is the optimization that matters, cause even with graphically demanding games like Honkai Impact 3rd, the phone reaches and maintains 60 fps without any problems. I know devs are working on it but as of right now, it is not enough.
glossy temple
Then yeah this seems to be pointing towards something that I can't really answer other than it can be due to possible lack software optimization on Exynos processors or Samsung's fault
hoary vessel
I just wish samsung ditches exynos and just ship with sd for all cause exynos SUCKS.
glossy temple
It's like having software optimization issues for AMD while Intel has the dominating market share and usage
hoary vessel
@glossy temple True
glossy temple
Also I'm already here so I don't know why you need to keep mentioning me XD
glossy temple
But yeah, give TGC time... I still wouldn't really expect anything for Exynos though
hoary vessel
I have already uninstalled it, guess its back to Mhw for me.

Hi! Good day!
Is using third party gfx tools prohibited?
I did see one use it to improve the graphics

@silk pollen should always be careful with any third party tools in general as it's not something officially supported. It's similar to a lot of custom tools for PC games (eg: RAM clear/boost) and can actually contribute to crashing and other unintended results

Iâm not using an android but my friend does. It seems they cannot get past the Isle of Dawn map as download for the other maps are failing. They tried to free up a bunch of space on their device but it keeps failing. Maybe itâs because of their phone model thatâs the issue but it would be nice for others to play the game smoothly without working about compatibility issues.
Not sure where to put this |D
uneven juniper
Did they download the game through the Google Play Store?
And compatibility is not the devs deciding who gets to play the game and who doesn't. You need a powerful enough device to run the game, as simple as that
granite swan
Yeah they did and okay
uneven juniper
They should have at least 2GB of free space and troubleshot their internet connection
If it still doesn't work, try reinstalling the game! It could be just a download problem

Hello, does anyone know why I can't find the GPU Renderer on the developer options anhmore? It used to be here before I updated to Android 9.0. And after I updated it I can't find it anymore. Any ideas?
I wanted to switch to OpenGL (Skia) to see if sky would run better than before.
rain leaf
I see a Force GPU Rendering on your screenshot... @dull kiln
dull kiln
Ohh i'm sorry, i meant GPU Renderer. I'll edit my text hang on
split vine
sad, my android is 7.1.2
rain leaf
@dull kiln so do you mean you were playing Sky on Android 8 before? Did you experience extreme lag like I do? Does OpenGL Skia help?
@dull kiln i tried turning on 4x MSAA and it helped a little, however the lags still happen
@dull kiln if you switch to OpenGL Skia, do you have to turn on Force GPU rendering, too?
dull kiln
No, I haven't yet. That's why I was trying to play sky with Skia on. I think I turned it on before I updated to Android 9.0 to play Monster Hunter Portable 3rd smoothly on my phone, since some of the places on that game would tend to crash whenever I enter a different location. I didn't turn on 4x MSAA as I read that it would hinder your game's performance and it would eat your battery faster. So I guess turning it off would be better than turning it on. If I did switch to OpenGL Skia, I would probably not. Because switching to skia would prolly be better as it is.
keen dock
@dull kiln the Skia renderer is the default renderer on Android 9, it was still experimental on version 8
it's all still OpenGL though the only difference is the renderer
I would stick to Skia as it is faster
dull kiln
Ahh i see, no wonder I couldn't choose between the two now. Thanks alot! @keen dock
Yeah, I was trying to switch to skia too. But I didn't know it was already skia by default on this android version.
keen dock
also, forcing GPU rendering would only benefit you if you have a beefy GPU, otherwise it will slow down the game
keen dock
Can you run the game at 60fps?
if not I'd stick to no force gpu rendering
It would likely drain your battery faster for no real gains
And it would heat up your phone more too
dull kiln
So, I tried it. And without turning it on, I could barely reach 30 fps. However, by turning it on, I got a tiny bit more frames. Though it did heat up my phone.

theyre still fixing right? haha. was still waiting for the next update. I cant still play eden til now. ahah

the development team has been and will continue the improvements when it comes to Android. we just have to wait for the updates
you can try the beta version just in case, as it receives updates quicker

Beta isnât early access, beta would be even more buggier and not as optimized than the live version of the game because itâs an in progress build

It's a two sided thing. It might be buggy but might also fix previous bugs.

Hi I've been trying to play with a friend of mine. He owns a Razer2 and for some reason he ends up losing controls after a few minutes. He can jump but is unable to control his direction.
we tried closing the game multiple times and reinstalling but still ends up glitching out.

Hi, one of my phones is an Android, Samsung Galaxy A6 and I just updated to Android 10 just now however itâs still showing that my device is incompatible with Sky. Whyâs that?

What is 4x MSAA in OpenGL es 2.0 apps?
Just go to the Developer Options screen and enable the Force 4x MSAA option. This will force Android to use 4x multisample anti-aliasing in OpenGL ES 2.0 games and other apps. This requires more graphics power and will probably drain your battery a bit faster, but it will improve image quality in some games
Should I Enable 4x MSAA?
Short Bytes: By activating Force 4x MSAA setting in Android Developer Options, you can enjoy a better gaming performance. It forces your phone to use 4x multisample anti-aliasing in OpenGL 2.0 games and apps. However, enabling this setting can drain your smartphone's battery faster.
Is OpenGL Skia better?
Skia is definitely capable of good performance, as it resolves down to OpenGL ... Hacker News. > Skia is definitely capable of good performance, as it resolves down to OpenGL draw calls, pretty much the same as Alacritty, WebRender, and now xi-mac
What is GPU renderer?
GPU rendering means, that there is used the power of GPU (Graphics card) for rendering, instead of CPU (processor). ... GPU rendering doesn't load you CPU at all - much faster work on your system. GPU rendering is incredibly fast and less power hungry.
What is GPU Skia?
The Skia Graphics Engine is an open-source graphics library written in C++. Skia Inc. originally developed the library; Google acquired it in 2005, and then released the software as open source licensed under the New BSD free software license.
keen dock
MSAA (multi sampling anti aliasing) is for smoothing edges of 3D objects, so they don't look jaggy. This feature requires GPU power so it's not something you'd want to enable if you don't have a beefy GPU.
So tldr, forcing MSAA will actually slow down the game if it already lags for you (a common misconception is that it will speed up games instead)
As for Skia, you should select it over the Default option if you are on Android 8.0/8.1
It's faster than the Default renderer and it's the actual default option in Android 9/10

do you guys know how to stop the phone from BURNING ?

Sky doesnât use OpenGL it uses Vulkan so changing OpenGL settings wonât have any affect
And changing settings like that can cause more issues
frank steeple
so what should i do now? đ
keen dock
You can't activate Skia on Android 10 lol, it's the default and only renderer for OpenGL so it's active by default.
And Sky does indeed use OpenGL.
frank steeple
@keen dock i use a p30 and it has emui 10 and android 10

if i want

skia is default on Android 9+@frank steeple

I have Android 10 but I see no "set up gpu renderer" in developer options

you might change it but its always default (unless changed by the manufacturer)

So is it pre enabled?
frank steeple

It's the only renderer for OpenGL for Android 9+ so there's usually no option to change it back to default
it depends on the manufacturer

I just have game driver preferences where I can select games that are prioritized I get like 10fps + from that

what is the cause of not having the 60 fps mode on some phones ?
native vessel
fast hearth
If I get like 50fps + sometimes 60 why can't I enable 60fps?
keen dock
@native vessel Without a hardware (HW) overlay every application that is displaying things on the screen will share video memory and will have to constantly check for collision and clipping to render a proper image, this can cost a lot of processing power.
