The headphones appear on your character when you play music or audio in another app while playing Sky. You can use them any time by putting on some tunes! (iOS only, until it's implemented for android)
stuck girder
on android, it's not available yet due to the way android detects audio
modern oasis
So there's no way to stop the audio just yet? That's a shame, maybe they could implement a manual way for now
Thanks!

@lone quarry Hmm...I've had the same problem before. It happens every time I want to update my game lol. Here's what I do, not sure if it will work.
- Close all tabs
- Open the system thing (settings)
- Clear cache and data of Google play, Google play games, and google play services.
- Close settings (clear the tab)
- Turn off your phone/tablet. (Power off, not restart.)
- Wait. (About 30-60+ seconds? Idk I don't count.)
- Turn phone/tablet on.
- Open Google play and search for sky.
- It should work, but idk.

Is anyone else having problems with Wasteland lately? The area is super buggy for me, especially after exiting the shipwreck area. My screen turns black and the game freezes.
When I try to go home and continue, the same thing happens even when I already restarted the game. So I went through the map again to clear the final area, but now the problem is I can't burn the dark plants anymore. 😣 It's taking so much of my time. I already don't like doing Wasteland, now I hate it even more.

Anyone still facing shipwreck issues?

But they are at home
They show just for a second and disappeared

you need to update your game I think
manic sparrow
Can anyone help
desert isle
older versions may disrupt multiplayer features
desert isle
a new update was rolled out just yesterday
manic sparrow
Yesterday I deleted and install it
It makes the same
I massage them for that bug but they didn't answer
desert isle
in accordance with the notice in #known-issues, wait times are now around 6 working days depending on your language. this is due to a large backlog of support questions following bugs. I'd say you should manually restart your app a few times, and after that you'll have to wait for an answer sadly
karmic mesa
Another cause of that problem could be an unstable internet connection.
Are you using Wi-Fi or Data?
manic sparrow
Wifi
sly wagon
Are you getting internet problems pop ups?
manic sparrow
No
karmic mesa
Do you have another device compatible with Sky?
karmic mesa
If you did, I would have suggested installing it on the other device to see if the same problem occurs. Since you don't, try restarting your phone. There's like a 30% chance this will work.
sly wagon
Wait, you mean there's nobody in game as if no diamonds when you call or no?
sly wagon
Because the stranger diamonds is deleted after 0.9.2 update
karmic mesa
Right
sly wagon
Can you see any dark sky kids (unlit ones)?
karmic mesa
However that doesn't explain the inability to find his friend.
manic sparrow
No Dirk kids
sly wagon
Yes, internet problems, ping, jitter, or anything can mess up with the game, I've had that problem with a friend as well
manic sparrow
All of my friends when I wanna to reach them the game told that ur friend in place that u can't reach
sly wagon
Have any of your friends tried to join you?
karmic mesa
You can actually be disconnected from the game servers for over a minute before it'll throw up error messages.
sly wagon
Huh, seems like it's a problem with your internet provider? (I'm not sure)
karmic mesa
The problem could be any number of things. I personally wouldn't have jumped to the internet provider.
manic sparrow
So what I can do burn my internet or wht?
karmic mesa
sly wagon
Yeah DreamFyre is right, it's probably not the provider
karmic mesa
What does that website show for you?
It will show you your upload, download, and ping.

There is a show more button. However that is awfully slow.
manic sparrow
Ping 100
karmic mesa
Oof
sly wagon
Here's my cheap internet for reference
karmic mesa
Not terrible, but you want 40 or less
ivory kayak
We need more graphic option for low end
sly wagon
100 ping is unbearable in some games, so sky might have some like minimum ping filter, because most online games does
ivory kayak
:( I just want smooth performance
karmic mesa
@ivory kayak what phone do you have?
sly wagon
That's a nice suggestion, you might want to put it in #wishlist-and-ideas-archived or send a constructive feedback to #live-feedback
karmic mesa
Hmm
karmic mesa
Do you have anything downloading or anyone else using your internet right now
sly wagon
How far are you from the signal source? (The router)
karmic mesa
@ivory kayak the GPU in your phone is one set up from the one I use. Lol

If you are really far or blocked by some walls, you might want to invest in some repeaters
ivory kayak
It's literally lagging in the forest and up
:( it'll be nice if I don't lose my wings because of lag
desert isle
Nora, if you're playing on 60 fps lowering your framrate may help with lag. also removing your phone's case if it's overheating
karmic mesa
ivory kayak
It's is on the lowest setting
sly wagon
Fps average?
karmic mesa
Finding the FPS is rather difficult on Android.
ivory kayak
Around 10-15 I think
sly wagon
I have a redmi note 5 and averaging between 30-45 on boosted def mode
karmic mesa
I get around 15 to 30. Unless I'm in the bad areas.
sly wagon
Some game boosters app shows fps nowadays
ivory kayak
What's the difference between the 30 fps and boosted?
karmic mesa
Huh?
sly wagon
Also the lowest graphic, (power saver) will lock your fps somewhere around 20fps
ivory kayak
It's smooth on isle and praire tho
karmic mesa
I lowered the internal resolution of my device to 480p.
ivory kayak
How?
karmic mesa
I used ADB commands
sly wagon
Oh wow, you tinkering with your device a lot, that's nice!
karmic mesa
If you want to try it I would recommend being careful because it can mess with your UI a little bit.
ivory kayak
I don't understand all of this tech stuff
karmic mesa
My device handles it well. I have encountered other devices where some default apps would not open at all with the resolution lowered.
But those were just the old ones
sly wagon
My recommendation is don't do it if you didn't know what you're doing, since some of it could brick your phone if you do something wrong
But if anyone really want to do it, you might want to dm DreamFyre and Cobalt here, they're really good at this kind of stuff
karmic mesa
Yes, modifying things within your phone can cause problems. Do thorough research before proceeding.
ivory kayak
Oh ok
manic sparrow
What is sky app build number ?
karmic mesa
Side note. you'll probably notice sky is a lot less sharp than your actual screen is usually. That is because sky does not render at the resolution of your screen. In fact it's quite a bit lower. @ivory kayak at least on any mode that is not Max Graphics.
sly wagon
The one inside the parentheses, 0.9.4 (149650) <- this

I don't have any idea what should I do...

It's hit or miss with 8.0, it really has more to do with if it has a recent enough version of Vulkan
karmic mesa
Exactly
The Samsung Galaxy tab A. Running Android 9. is not compatible with the sky because the processor is the Snapdragon 425. Which does not support vulkan. Or Opengl ES 3.1

Yesterday when playing Sky, my phone (Samsung S9) overheated so much that it actually hurt me. I am afraid that this game will damage my phone. Does anyone have a way to lessen the problem a bit?
karmic mesa
If you have a small desk fan. Play with the fan pointed at the back of the phone.
somber lodge
Smart! I might try that, thanks!
fast hearth
Take off the cover on your phone if you have one - it heats up your phone faster if it's on.
Don't play with any apps running in the background, turn down your graphics settings in-game, reduce your brightness, keep your phone away from direct sunlight, maybe even play in an air conditioned room.
latent island
@fast hearth i just don't play if i have to do all those things tho

Getting a better phone isn't an option sometimes, unfortunately.
The routine shouldn't take too long, and you won't even notice it, if you like the game enough

@swift crater regarding app volume control, there is an app on google play that controls sound individually. Its called Sound Assistant (by samsung). I use it to turn off sound on Sky if i want to listen to music while i play.
Yes drift is still a common thing. They tried patching it in the last few updates, but with minimal success. I use a controller to play and oftimes drift at laggy areas can reaaaaally test a persons patience 😂

Yes, it's happening for me as well, chats delay, all text missing, text staying on screen, if you want to, you can file a bug report in #bug-reports-android !
To fix them, simply restart the application

Erm that phone may have problems with the game...

@median gate 👆
median gate
yeah it’s my friends phone 😭💔
she couldn’t take her first wing, game keeps crashing
so i thought i will ask anyone if it got better with the updates!
karmic mesa
The problem with that phone is it has a really weak GPU.
plucky spade
I also have a question so uh
Does anyone have an idea on why Sky might not be available for me? I checked the website and my phone meets all the requirements mentioned on the website so I figured Id ask here
karmic mesa
What is your phone
plucky spade
Samsung A10e
quasi glade
Q: What about x86 support?
karmic mesa
Honestly I haven't a clue. It has the same processor and GPU as a Samsung Galaxy a20 (which can and does run the game) the only difference is 2 gigs of RAM instead of 3. I have run into compatibility issues with devices that have been used a really long time. So it may become available for download if you factory reset.
quasi glade
oh yes i forgot
plucky spade
Ty,, Ive only had this phone for a few months so Im not sure thats it but Ill try anyway
karmic mesa
If you do get it to work, fair warning, it will lag quite a bit. (I know from experience)
karmic mesa
That doesn't mean much

MALIs are slow
It's somewhere at the level of snap 4xx
I tried to fake the model and keys, but performance was not good
Like 1-2 fps

I did all the comparisons to snapdragon. The one in the Galaxy a10e is comparable to the adreno 506.

This is a video of my Samsung Galaxy a20 playing sky.

What's your CPU & GPU&
Also, i now have just one question: how can adreno 530 perform the same as adreno 506?
near iris
I just checked because I was curious, my phone has Adreno 506. Sky runs smoothly enough to not crash so I guess that's good 
quasi glade
It's WEIRD
near iris
But I bet Adreno 530 is waaaayyy better
quasi glade
I have snap 821, it heats up like a toaster and runs game like in the video
Not 338% better
near iris
Optimization is wonky for Sky right now tho 
Latest update did improve my framerate a little tho so I guess they're gonna work on that
karmic mesa
There is actually a logical explanation for this. The adreno 530 has more video RAM than the adreno 506. This means the adreno 530 has to work harder then the adreno 506. you can actually see this in game for textures or not quite as sharp.
quasi glade
So adreno 530 blits slower?
karmic mesa
Performance on adreno 530.

I think theres a problem with the winged light of the traveling spirit this time. Last week when i finished eden, i got 39 winged lights. That time i didnt use any ascended candles to unlock the previous traveling spirits. But, i finally did in the last thursday or friday. Seems like it didnt gives me the bonus winged light of the traving spirit this time, after i finished eden of this week a few hours ago, the winged lights i recieve is 39, nothing changes
near iris
Did you purchase this spirit before? It did come back once before I believe

@near iris no i havent, i first playing this when it's official releas in our android version

Then go to #bug-reports-android ! Sounds like a bug to me

Hi. Can anyone help me? I wanted to install Sky on my phone, but for some reason it says that my device is incompatible. I checked the requirement on the website, everything should be fine. My phone is Blackview BV9100 (Android 9)
zealous zealot
@zealous zealot oh wait i got it
desert isle
@buoyant yew there’s some notes in the pins on compatibilites. do you have enough storage for instance?
also @zealous zealot did you get the ||winged light in orbit this week?||
fast hearth
@buoyant yew if I had to guess, probably the GPU
from what I saw when I looked up the specs
buoyant yew
@desert isle Yes, storage shouldn't be the problem. Thanks for the reply
@fast hearth What GPU is required? I guess I missed that... Thanks for help
fast hearth
check pins
there's no one specific GPU that's needed, but considering i'd never even heard of your phone's brand and neither PhoneArena nor GSMArena even had it, it's probably just that your phone's hardware isn't mainstream enough for the devs to have optimized for it
...or something
buoyant yew
Too bad... Thanks anyway
opaque wind
are the devs planning on adding headphones for android 🥺
upper sailBOT
The headphones appear on your character when you play music or audio in another app while playing Sky. You can use them any time by putting on some tunes! (iOS only, until it's implemented for android)

Will Sky ever be available for the majority if not all android versions?

I mean
Sky currently isn’t available for all android versions
It’s complicated
I’m wondering if it ever will be
warm bone
You mean old versions?
fast hearth
Idk I got an iPhone so I know very little about androids
I think sky is not available for older android versions since it came out like a month ago for android
They might make it for all versions tho
fast hearth
It's complicated since there are a lot of android devices
warm bone
Anyways it's on Android 8 and above
fast hearth
So it won’t every be available on older versions?
fast hearth
For now sky is available only for android 8, 9 etc.
warm bone
8, 9, and 10, as well as 11 when it comes out and everything after that
And that probably won't change if anything it will need newer versions in a couple years

hello! i made a google play purchase for $10 a while ago to buy the $9.99 candle pack. however, my google play states that I didnt have enough credit (at $1.55), even though my google play credit is currently at $11.55. does anyone know how this can be fixed?
traveling spirit ends today and i would really like the mask, but due to this issue i am currently unable to purchase the item.
i have tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling, force-stopping the app, logging out of play store, restarting phone.. but none of those options seem to work
hexed citrus
I think it needs to be 4$ balance
midnight plume
One of my friends had the same problem :/
humble osprey
did your friend ever get it fixed?
midnight plume
she couldn't buy anything for a week, idk how but she fixed it
humble osprey
hopefully before travelling spirit ends it will work
midnight plume
Try doing what @hexed citrus said... Maybe it will work
hexed citrus
Try to make your balance a 15$
Or try another way
Bcs theres a tax the more expensive you buy the more the tax gets bigger
humble osprey
well i already made a purchase to my google play account, so the $11 is stck there
well yea but i think 11.55 will be enough including tax for something thats 9.99\
midnight plume
@hexed citrus why the tax tho ;w;
humble osprey
and the problem is that when i go to make the purchase, it says my play balance is 1.55, which was before i made the $10 purchase to my account
hexed citrus
No i mean i bought 10 usd and they took 11.98 from my wallet so probably 12 usd +
Try to make your balance to 13$
Then buy the 9.99$
humble osprey
humble osprey
if the balance said 11.55 it would make more sense
but that was the amount i had in my GP account before i bought the 10 so the transaction didnt go through into the app im assuming
hexed citrus
So you cant add 2$ more? Then theres nothing i can help . It might not gonna work if you add 2$ so dont do it . But if you want to risk the 2$ then try to do it
humble osprey
thank you for trying at least.. I just want to figure out if there would be any fix to the problem as it is before having to risk putting more money than I have to
if i need to, i will just make a direct purchase through credit card before time runs out
hexed citrus
Ok goodluck man

I had another android pay issues earlier (solved though). It seems the finger print authentic function doesn't work on my device, it forced game to vertical screen and just won't read, then it turned back to horizontal. Later I disabled the finger print in Google Play, then use password instead, then everything went well. Hope this may help someone with similar issue.

the saved gameplay doesn't get affected when you clear cache right
karmic mesa
You can feel free to clear the cache. If you have your save saved to a Google account you can also clear the data and you will not lose your progress. Clearing the data is effectively reinstalling. I know this works because I've done it myself. Also, you won't even have to sign back in it will still remember you even if you clear the data. @errant atlas

sky needs min android 8
wicked cipher
@simple flame Please don’t encourage users to download apks of the game. Besides, if it’s not compatible it’s most likely hardware, and it probably would barely be playable that way

It is against the TOS to use third-party apks.

It’s just not a good option? No one is being overly aggressive

@digital bone what is the model number of the phone?
@karmic mesa is there any minimum requirement to install this game beside android version?
karmic mesa
Yes
simple flame
how about 2GB ram?
karmic mesa
wicked cipher
There are some pinned requirements here, but it’s mostly dependent on the processor/gpu
simple flame
ah i see
karmic mesa
A device running Android 8 9 or 10 that Google Play says is not compatible. Theoretically could install the game via APK. However there are obvious reasons for why the Google Play Store would not allow you to download it. These reasons are for support that you may not know exists. Such as the graphics API vulkan. If you attempted to install the game on an unsupported device, it will likely run very poorly or not at all (most common outcome). If you want to play the game, it is highly recommended to buy a device that is compatible. If you don't know if a device is compatible, simply ask
Additionally you could just wait for the Switch release this summer.

The problem is the GPU. That phone has adreno 506 which supports vulkan 1.0. however the game requires Vulkan 1.0.3 @digital bone
I am fully aware that the game is a split application.

and I am very disappointed that perhaps next year, sky will not work for Huawei users :(

Yes the Meizy X8 should support the game. However it will struggle.

@karmic mesa why does it needs vulkan , can't we play with open gl ?
karmic mesa
Vulkan is a low-overhead, cross-platform 3D graphics and computing API. Vulkan targets high-performance realtime 3D graphics applications such as video games and interactive media across all platforms. Compared to OpenGL and Direct3D 11, and like Direct3D 12 and Metal, Vulkan is intended to offer higher performance and more balanced CPU/GPU usage. Other major differences from Direct3D 11 (and prior) and OpenGL are Vulkan being a considerably lower-level API and offering parallel tasking. In addition to its lower CPU usage, Vulkan is also able to better distribute work among multiple CPU cores.
Literally copied and pasted from Wikipedia
Inshort we'd have more performance issues if it was rendered in opengl.

i have android 7 if i use custom rom like lineage os to get anroid 9 will this game work?
I highly doubt it.
The fact that your phone runs Android 7 suggests it's not top tier in terms of modern day performance, which means Sky will struggle to run... a lot, regardless of which Android version you use.
Aside from performance issues, many apps detect custom ROMs and unlocked bootloaders, rendering them useless unless software native to the device is used.
It's likely that Sky has such measures, too.
apps that do that are lame
lol ok
like i get it in specific cases like pokemon go where people could use it to GPS spoof
but 90% of the time there's no reason to block stuff like that
It's done a lot on payment-related apps, such as streaming services.
I guess it's yet another form of product protection, or something 🤷
will redmi 5 can run this game?
Do you have the phone right now?

I can use the redmi 5 plus for playing

The xiaomi redmi 5 doesn't support Sky because the GPU does not support vulkan version 1.0.3. It only supports 1.0.0

I think scroll up a bit is a bit of an understatement.
zealous zealot

zealous zealot
Thats not what i meant :(
bold cloud
oh sorry, thought you meant black screen as in a crash
so the game is still running for you but you’ve got a black screen?
zealous zealot
Nah i get used to it, just wonder if anyone got the same issue like me
karmic mesa
Also this...

I haven’t heard of that kind of bug before, actually. Did you report it? #report-a-live-bug
karmic mesa
Black screen while going from shipwreck to graveyard is a known issue.
bold cloud
aaa, I see. cause most of the things I heard were black screen, then immediate crash
karmic mesa
I haven't actually seen it crash. And a couple of times my phone did manage to load in. But it took an obscene amount of time.
Time you can't really afford if you are with a group

RIP
zealous zealot
@karmic mesa well mine took like 1 or 2mins to load or crash it when its done
Oh yeah
karmic mesa
Find definitely took longer than 1 to 2 minutes
zealous zealot
And i think the winged light of the traveling spirit just came got a problem too
karmic mesa
I was able to cook supper and take a shower in the time it was loading
But then again I have a weak device
zealous zealot
My phone more likely potato phone to this gsme xD
karmic mesa

Your phone is approximately the same as mine in power... At least on paper.
Real world mileage can and does very
zealous zealot
Yeah, it only got 30fps as max, not even smooth
karmic mesa
Hmm...
zealous zealot
Umm
@karmic mesa i know this sounds stupid but how to upload a video on youtube app
Nvm i got it
karmic mesa
Ok
zealous zealot
K this is what i gone through everyday
I think it's bc ur phone's cpu is a octacore type, when mine is just quadcore
karmic mesa
First off, the number of cores doesn't affect the game much. Secondly, I recommend you play the game on level 1.
Low quality to save space.
zealous zealot
@karmic mesa okay, i always play with level 1,just wanna show u how awful it is when turn level 2
karmic mesa
I play on level 2 because it's sharper than level one and there is no performance difference for me.
warm bone
My screen glitches when I take a screenshot
It turns into a bunch of black boxes with some stray pixels
warm bone
Yes
karmic mesa
Well there's not much else we can really do
Reinstalling and restarting your phone is the only other two things
What happens if you take a screenshot with a different graphics setting enabled
night sun
I've been having that issue too, sometimes when taking a screenshot screens turns into a black and white static.
pressing the screenshot button again fixes it.
fair marsh
Same.
The first time i got really scared, but taking another screenshot solves it
So i guess it's a pretty consistent way to deal with it for now.
sudden skiff
Hey! Sometimes I would be playing the game and then it randomly doesnt let me burn the darkness or open gates with the candle. Like I can put my candle to it, but it won't work. When I leave the app and try to come back in, it'll crash and close the app a few times.
tiny hamlet
Sometimes the gates and plants can get a little bugged. It’s happening on iOS as well. Usually waiting will solve the problem, as sometimes it’s just the game being in the middle of trying to merge you with other players

My friends is trying to download sky on android but it displays the following message:
Is this a thing that she can fix?
haughty brook
You mean android, right?
gritty berry
Android ack sorry
haughty brook
Minimum specs are in the pins
Lolol no worries
If her phone can't meet the minimum criteria, then she unfortunately won't be able to play the game ;;
gritty berry
Okay thank you
haughty brook
Np
true field
Oh, I found the correct channel.. So I got a Huawei P20 lite, and I play on Sky always out of focus in the low quality. There are solutions to get low lag? Maybe in the settings?
fast hearth
Generally, yes. Lag can be due to two main reasons (at least, as far as I'm aware, do correct me if I'm wrong).
1 - poor connection.
2 - high stress in memory/CPU
If you have a poor connection then you um... have to get a better connection. Make sure you're in the same room as the router, I guess.
If it's high stress on your memory/CPU, you need to close all apps apart from Sky (force close them, otherwise the continue to take up memory as they run in the background), and lower your graphics. Graphics can be lowered by clicking on the battery icon in the Sky settings.
I hope that helps, at least a little 😔
Can you clarify what you mean by "out of focus", actually? Lag is when your game jumps frames, also called stuttering sometimes.
Your issue might not be lag 🤔

Probably fps dropped
