neon mason
#

is there any way to record using the google games recorder without it also recording the google games icon?

ember kernel
#

There is no other way right now

#

Any application will leave an icon when recording on android 🤢

neon mason
#

aww ok

#

thank you

native vessel
#

yes
@neon mason
why

neon mason
#

@native vessel it ruins the view

#

ioh wait

#

because it's a good game

native vessel
#

i expected that answer

#

but what's the point if i wasn't able to play it because it's so laggy

#

to a level that it's not playble

neon mason
#

oh

#

i mean i guess it depends on how much you care about it to find a solution to the lag

native vessel
#

yeah like buying a 5000 phone so i can at least play it on lowest graphics level without lag

@neon mason I think AZ screen recorder?

#

I haven't used that in a hot minute though

#

OnePlus rolled out a built-in screen recorder in a system update for my OP 6 a long time ago

#

Even supports device audio!

neon mason
#

@neon mason I think AZ screen recorder?
@fast hearth
I'll try it out, thank you!

-ARM 64bit with Neon
-At leas 1.5gb RAM
-OpenGLES 3.1 Extension Pack
-Vulkan Version 1.0.3 or higher
-Vulkan Level 0 or higher
-up to 3gb storage to download and install all levels```
question - does armeabi-v7a and/or armeabi qualify for this?
static ridge
#

it does not

#

iirc those are 32 bit, therefore below the 64bit minimum req

fast hearth
#

...oh crap

#

alright, thank you

#

hardware bridging has failed me

slate portal
#

I cannot set my game to high performance 60 fps mode. It will only allow 30 fps in basic. using a huawei p smart z with android 10

#

anyone with same problem?

static ridge
#

p smart z isn't 60fps compatible, it has a pretty low end gpu.

slate portal
#

there is no way around it then? no software change that could help?

fast hearth
#

Launches July, apparently?

fast hearth
#

No, @slate portal, 60 FPS compatibility depends on your hardware.

crisp zodiac
#

if your phone supports game launcher/whatever its called, you can record using that and it wont leave an icon

#

u'll have to fiddle with the settings first though but its not that complicated

fast hearth
#

@crisp zodiac or if you don't have any you always use a rom that is Optimize for gaming (only for mid-end and low-end phones)

Hey, i want to ask about account recovery, so my friend had a problem with her phone so she played sky and linked the account to her brother's email. Now, she wanted to unlink her brother's email and change it to her own google email. However, at the account tab the "unlink" button is available, but doesn't work when clicked. Is it possible to unlink an account without losing progress? (my friend's phone is android)

sly wagon
#

Unlink account isn't implemented yet iirc

fast hearth
#

The button is there, but it doesn't click, for me :/

#

I think the best thing to do is contact customer service, @gentle bobcat, I think. I'm sure they'll be able to help out.

gentle bobcat
#

Okay, thank you @fast hearth @sly wagon . I contacted customer service.

elfin flare
#

Is that normal?

#

It doesn't show up with in game camera

sly wagon
#

Yes, you can see the constellation if you stand near the gate

elfin flare
#

Ah, I didn't know

#

Thank you

sly wagon
#

Also it doesn't show up in game camera because it's a part of the ui i think

what cave sanctuary?

#

in forest?

#

Nah in prairie

#

Meditation shrine candles?

the meditation shrine is in birds' nest not caves?

sly wagon

#

Aw man

#

I can't see the shrine at the cave in prairie and I can't see any candles with messages

#

Only the ones I put messages

Every message candles shrine is bugged right now, we need to be patient and wait for next update! stickerHeart

@sly wagon oh ok! Thank you pSkyHeart

true field
fast hearth
#

Oh, I see. Looks like low resolution, have you tried increasing your graphics settings?

#

The game should look a lot sharper when played on higher settings.

true field
#

The game should look a lot sharper when played on higher settings.
@fast hearth mmh, having troubles on CPU I can't put it on higher resolution probs

#

So it's normal? Is just low poverty quality ;6

fast hearth
#

It looks quite normal if you're playing on the lowest settings, yes.

true field
#

Aw, sad. Tysm

fast hearth
#

Hm. Closing all apps (force closing them) and only leaving Sky running might help with CPU usage.

#

Might be worth checking permissions for all apps, in your device's settings, too. A lot of apps have "run in background" permissions, and they're often not necessary at all.

#

And ram

true field
#

Ram?

#

There is a way to improve it?

fast hearth
#

There's no way to improve your device's RAM, no, not really. You can improve how the RAM is used, however.

#

(by closing all apps, removing background usage permissions, etc)

Hello! I have a question. It happened to my friend when playing 5 days ago.. He was in prairie, his game crashed and he lost his account. He has his account ID and he messaged the support team when that happened and even yesterday, and he got no response. What can he do in order to recover his account other than contacting the support team? He's losing a lot of things.

fast hearth
#

The customer support team is very busy at the moment. They get a lot of help requests during these times, I reckon.

#

I'm sure they'll address your friends issue soon! Patience is all that's needed 🙂

sleek nymph
#

Okay, thank you

sand lance
#

Hey, my friend is having trouble downloading the maps. She wasn't able to download hidden forest, so she reinstalled the game, and now she can't download daylight prairie either. Is there anything else she can do?

fast hearth
#

Maybe restart or reinstall the game

turbid thorn
#

@sand lance she should check the space she got in her phone, sky is pretty heavy

sand lance
#

Her phone's got plently of storage and it's not her internet either. Upon reinstalling again it fixed prairie but its frozen on downloading audio.

fast hearth
#

I'm assuming your friend hasn't progressed in the game, yet?

#

If not, and you don't mind losing the little progress she did make, clearing all of the app's data might help.

#

Maybe there's a corrupted file on your phone, from Sky, and that's what's preventing the download. Clearing the app's data should remove these corrupted files, if they're there.

#

I don't know if that will help, though 😔

karmic mesa
#

If she saves her data to a Google account clearing the data will not clear the save. 😉

#

Clearing the cache may help as well.

#

is it only me that when i try to go in the last area of the waste land (the one before you meet the spirit and basically summon a bunch of krills by open the big door) from the area where there is the sunken boat (not the forgotten ark) the game freezes and i have to restart it and go to the other way?

gritty basin
#

Its common for android users to crash when leaving shipwreck. You can either have a friend go through and teleport to them in battlefield, walk through the portal very slowly on your own, or just run through and be prepared to restart several times, or go around. The first one is the best way for time since you can just go home and teleport

#

It's a known issue that they are trying to resolve

gilded field
#

ok thank you very much

@gilded field someone told me to type something and sent before entering, I did it and luckily it doesn't crash , idk if it helps for u too

Hey just a question, what will happen if I use the resize spell and then put the chibi mask on? Will I continue tall after I take it off?

Yep!

karmic mesa

No

#

U sure?

#

Wait I'm confused

#

Yes or no?

Putting on the mask does not cancel the spell

@karmic mesa YASSSS thank youuu

#

K

karmic mesa
#

Although

fast hearth
#

Um I got a question, (dont call me weird but) I have an RCA android tablet and when I try to download the game it says it isn't compatible with this version

karmic mesa
#

What is your tablet model number

fast hearth
#

Just a sec

#

RCT6303W87

#

Hello?

karmic mesa
#

The tablet does not meet the minimum specifications to play the game.

fast hearth
#

Dang it

karmic mesa
#

The current operating system is Android 5 or 6, where is the game requires 8 or better

fast hearth
#

Welp, that sucks

#

Well, thanks for answering my question👍

karmic mesa
#

Np

#

I actually have that tablet...

#

Lol

fast hearth
#

Really?

karmic mesa
#

Yeah, the system OS files corrupted on it and it no longer boots.

fast hearth
#

Hm, yeah mine kinda sucks but I just need to use it for now until I can get a proper phone

karmic mesa
#

It's only good for a big screen. Everything else is kind of weak about it.

fast hearth
#

Yeah,you can say that again

#

And about a week ago the speaker just went to crap and now it sounds really gritty and just plain bad quality

#

Well, it was nice talkin to ya

karmic mesa
#

Have a nice day

craggy cape
#

Is sky still in early access? My sister wanted to play, but it wouldn't show up for her

karmic mesa
#

It is likely not compatible with her device.

craggy cape
#

Her phone is only about 2 years old... we checked on google play and it just wasnt there

karmic mesa
#

Google play likes to hide incompatible apps

#

If you click the link it will take you to it regardless

craggy cape
#

Ok, I'll send it to her! Thank you!

fast hearth
#

RCA does not make quality devices unfortunately

karmic mesa
#

Nope

#

And I found most of them are x86 anyway.

vernal totem
#

@karmic mesa I'm a Chinese new player and I met this issue yesterday. the probable solution is empty the data of Google store and play store

karmic mesa
#

Google store and play store should be the same app...

vernal totem
#

oh here we call it google's three suit: the Google service frame Google play Store and Google Play game you can find them hidden in the app management list

#

and I am sorry that I @ you for a mistake

i dont know if anything is gonna be done about deep call on android

#

i am not sure if the same issue is on iOS

#

the deep call gets cancelled due to the leg UI

#

i seen it being reported and even in wishlist and idea channel

#

but i dont know if its getting enough attention as it should be because its quite annoying

#

is anyone else having the same issue on their phones?

Hello, my brother's phone said the game can't play because don't have something called vulkan

#

Where can I get it?

summer seal
#

If the GPU doesn't support vulkan, you can't play the game

#

Sadly

#

Get a better phone

#

@eager parrot

robust rose
#

is anyone else having the same issue on their phones?
@red pawn I still have the deep call bug on Android, but I've found a workaround: Press your left thumb on the far left side of the screen (somewhere that's /not/ your character) to engage the movement "thumbstick" slightly. Then press and hold on yourself with your right thumb to do a deep call.

(The bug seems to be because the game prioritizes movement input over pressing-and-holding on your character when touching the left side of the screen. So you can kind of "fool" it by showing it that your left thumb is already pressing somewhere else; then it interprets a second press as your right thumb, even if it's on the left-hand side of the screen.)

eager parrot
#

@summer seal I see..thank you !

meager latch
#

in other words perhaps an independent call button is a good idea (joypad has it)

keen geyser
#

In what android devices i can play the game on 60 fps?

obtuse nebula

The following GPUs are capable of 60fps, this list is not exhaustive:
+Adreno 540
+Adreno 630
+Adreno 640
+Adreno 650
+Mali-G76
+Mali-G77
some versions of these GPUs are not 60fps-capable @keen geyser

I can't skip cut scene is it a bug I already completed the game.my device is android.Unable to skip cut scene is annoying as I am force to watch the same cut scene for the 100the time

edgy saddle

yes it is a bug

south lichen
#

Does Android have a separate server? Or is it like IOS and Android are on the same server? I feel like finding my friends is getting helpless lol.

edgy saddle
#

same server

#

do you mean you have problems finding your friends in the constellations? or you keep getting server switched and separated?

south lichen
#

I haven't friended them yet. Im trying to find them in the world.

fast hearth
#

Does anyone play with a controller ? If yes can you recommend me one, I spend last night trying to figure which one could work on sky SkyYawn

serene roost
#

Imo it's best played with the screen

#

You could wait for the refined switch port tho

velvet cobalt
#

I can definitely recommend the regular PS4 controller @fast hearth

near walrus
#

Or ps5 one 😏

fast hearth
#

@velvet cobalt I see that many features like headphones jack, touchpad, built-in speakers doesn't work with Android and are a part of it's price of 50$, also I'm not fan of that light bar, but thanks anyway for the recommendation

#

You could wait for the refined switch port tho
@serene roost
I don't have a Switch, I'm waiting for the next upgrade of it

fast hearth
#

I have friended on Sky like 80-90 ppl via qr most of them but my constellation only shows like 60+. I know people say it just shows a limit amount in the constellation but it has been already some few weeks and I keep having the same people in the constellation. Where are the other 20? I don't think they casually poofed in the same days and I have moths that haven't came in game months and are still in my constellation. Is this some issue or usually constellation friends are like this? stickerGloomy

wicked cipher
#

One of the new updates made the constellation wonky with shuffling names around. Just block a bunch of people to remove them from your constellations so it forces the other friend stars to show up. Then unblock when you’re done

#

Want to buy a new phone, cheap phone to play sky... Anyone know of any model? Or y'all know redmi 7a or 8a can play sky?

fast hearth
#

@rustic dew I did choose my phone with the same optic as you in mind, good for game especially Sky and not too expansive, my choice was a Xiaomi mi9t and it work like a charm, the only complain I can make is it's not possible to play it in 60fps, but it's still smooth and loading between zones are quick SkyYay

#

So I may be wrong but I think I saw an option to disable chat on iOS in the applications menu itself, does Android got this option too ?

desert isle
#

you can only disable chat with individual friends I believe

fast hearth
#

Ok thanks for answering me

desert isle
#

that’s on both android and ios btw

#

the only things different rn are the headphones

deft crane
#

@velvet cobalt PS4 Controller? This game supports that?

velvet cobalt
#

Yeah it does @deft crane - I haven't tried it on my Android (phone) but have tried it on my iPad, it links really quickly and I can do everything except click on the 2nd icon at the quest giver (I can't switch between the exclamation mark and the seasonal-icon-thing, so I have to tap my screen for that). The only downside of this being that you can only link your PS4 controller to either your mobile device or your PS4, so you have to re-link it to the other device if you wanna use that one again

deft crane
#

I am aware of the last bit

#

@velvet cobalt thank

velvet cobalt
#

Awesome ^^ You're welcome @deft crane! I considered buying the Steelseries Nimbus specifically to use with my mobile devices but figured getting a 2nd controller for my PS4 would be better as it's cheaper than the Nimbus and now I have a 2nd controller for if a friend ever comes over to play on the PS4 :P

As taken from https://www.gamesradar.com/ps4-xbox-one-controller-iphone-ipad-connect-how-to/:

  • Go to Settings, and then Bluetooth Settings on your iPhone or iPad (I assume this works on Android just as well)
  • Press and hold the PS and Share button until the light bar starts to flash.
  • When the PS4 controller flashes white it's in pairing mode and should appear under Other Devices section in Bluetooth settings.
  • Select the controller in settings to pair it.

sky children of light can download on Android 8.1?

yes, but you’ll need to look for other specs as well

#

see pins for some guidelines

zenith willow
solemn crypt
#

Wow, that’s interesting, I wonder why that happens. Perhaps you’re accidentally enabling invert colors?

dusk vortex
#

have u guys had a overheat problem when u continuous play sky?

solemn crypt
#

Yes. Overheating has always been a problem on android and lower end devices. There were some bugs in the most recent updates that made it worse. Optimizations are always happening

dusk vortex
#

Ah, Im not sure if they could fix this quickly

#

it did also happened for ios player as well

solemn crypt
#

Yes

zenith willow
#

@solemn crypt nope, this happened once. Then when I took pic again, it got fixed. After some days it repeated. Then again.

desert isle
#

the game is and will continue to be very taxing on both the CPU and GPU of any device - and optimizations are really hard to streamline with thousands of different devices to account for. the last patch attempted to improve things for low-end devices but resulted in more issues for high-end ones. the best we can do is to take frequent brakes, play without a phonecase/in front of a fan and such. the overheating will likely persist for a long time unless the game is significantly changed

Am i the only one experiencing the "No Text" bug (or what's it called)? Everytime i chat with my friends i can't see. Also my Candles, Hearts, and Wing Level is also missing counts, Setting also disappeared Text

#

It happens to me very often. Like 50/50 chance it happens and it's annoying to restart the game everytime especially when we are at eden.

naive pollen
#

@grizzled fox This is a known issue. The only thing you can do right now is:

  1. go home if you're the world of sky
  2. restart the game
grizzled fox
#

@naive pollen Yeah, but this its annoying especially when it happens on Eden. 😔😔

naive pollen
#

@grizzled fox Which part of ||Eden|| does it usually occur for you? In most cases it happens after ||orbit||. Either way restarting the game is the only way to mitigate this issue rn

My friends phone is version 9 and still can’t download the game

digital grotto
#

The quality is not that great on my Samsung A20, and theres a message saying "my device does not meet the minimjm requirement for a smooth expericence" is that normal?

fast hearth
#

@fast hearth What exactly is the issue? It's hard to help without more information.

#

The issue is she can’t download the app

#

From the Play Store?

#

Even tho sky should be available for android 8 and up

#

Uh

#

I think

#

...

#

That sounds like an issue with the Play Store itself, rather then Sky.
I had a similar problem (not with Sky) for an array of different apps a while ago.

#

Did you manage to fix it?

#

I had to wait a day or so before it got fixed.
However, your friend could try and clear the Play Store's cache/data.

#

That might help.

#

How does one do that?

digital grotto
#

@muddle thanks

fast hearth
#

Check the "Android 6.0 and Higher Devices" instructions.

#

Thanks

digital grotto
#

I odnt know much about specs but my brother has an iphone 6 and the quality is much better than on my phone, and it seems to meet the recommended requirements but i dont know about all the minimum requirements. It has 3gb of ram and androis 9.0

charred urchin
#

Does the game plan to optimize for Android 7 and below?

fast hearth
#

A guideline for minimum requirements is as follows -
Android 8.0 Oreo or higher
ARM 64bit with Neon
At least 1.5 GB RAM
OpenGLES 3.1 Extension Pack
Vulkan Version 1.0.3 or higher
Vulkan Level 0 or higher
Up to 3 GB storage for all levels
(From Ktjn)

#

Meeting these requirements only means you can run the game, I'm afraid.
What CPU do you have on your phone?

#

@digital grotto

#

@charred urchin
I don't think that TGC (the creators of Sky) have finalized the specifications for the game, yet, so it's not really possible to say.

digital grotto
#

Samsung Exynos 7884 processor i think thats the cpu

#

Well thats what it said on google

#

When i searched up samsung a20 cpu @fast hearth

prisma iris
#

From Ktjn in the pins, not sure if it's applicable to Gapsss' question:
"We are still optimizing performance for compatible lower-end devices, but if your device is not already compatible, it is unlikely it will become compatible later on."

Hi all!

I'm having issues with the video capture (via the Google game thingy).

Videos record just fine, but there's no sound! Does anyone know how to fix this?

Edit: I ended up using an external recorder suggested to me in another channel! The audio works now 😊

Second edit: Also there seems to be a screen recording feature accessible from the quick access/notification panel! Very handy! I never noticed it on my phone before

It's not recommended to mess with Developer options, at all. They're very...

#

niche in their functions, and most of the time, it's best to leave them in their default states.

fast hearth
#

OEM unlock will unlock the bootloader on your device.
Attribute inspection is used for debugging.

#

@native vessel

#

I really wouldn't mess with the settings. Trying to modify your bootloader can have irreversible effects on your phone, and you'll probably have to reinstall Android all over again.

#

@rancid junco
I think iOS already has that?

rancid junco
#

It has, but android not yet

fast hearth

I read somewhere that Android sound settings are a little bit harder to modify than on iOS, but I'm sure they're working on it.

#

Well, if iOS has it, then it's most definitely planned.

Hi !did anyone know how to get my ID SKY?

#

anyone

wise ferry
#

Your recovery ID?

manic sparrow
#

No the ID OF MY SKY

wise ferry
#

There's only the recovery code for your account and that's about it

#

What do you need your Sky ID for?

solemn crypt
#

recovery code = sky id

#

!skyid

#

Find your Sky ID in-game: Tap the gear (top-right corner) > Account > Recovery Code. If you are unable to access your game, you can find your Sky ID in Settings > Sky on your device.

I have a bug

#

And they need it

#

What the uses of the Id

#

?

fast hearth
#

are they trying to optimize sky on weaker devices like android 7?

#

i really wish if i could play it

#

@manic sparrow
They probably use it to double check things, in case it's an issue with your account.

#

You can trust the support with it, don't worry.

Are you referring to my most recent message?

Or trusting support with your ID?

?

#

Of course you can trust the support service! Just make sure you're contacting them, not anyone else.

#

I think there's an option in-game to contact them, directly, which is probably the safest route.

You can contact TGC Support via the Support menu in-game. If you’re unable to access your game, you can contact Support by using the link below:

You shouldn't have to.

karmic mesa
#

I have a bit of a conundrum.

prisma iris
#

what's the issue?

karmic mesa
#

I have two phones at my disposal compatible with Sky. One of them is the Samsung Galaxy S7, the other is the Samsung Galaxy A20. The S7 plays the game smoothly without issue, whereas the A20 lags a lot. The conundrum is which one should I use. The S7 has severe battery problems and dies very quickly, even on charge. The A20 is able to last six hours idling in the prairie before it dies.

#

I started playing on the A20, so the performance jump when I got the S7 felt like a godsend.

#

The S7 was my grandmother's, heavily loved.

#

This is why I called it a conundrum...

keen dock
#

use both lol

#

once the s7 dies go for the other

#

i suppose

Does anyone know what the ram footprint this app has while running in the background?

The bottom 4 devices are incompatible with Sky, on my list of devices.

The bottom three are definitely incompatible (no vulkan support). The ZTE Blade Z Max is powerful enough but lacks the OS.

fast hearth
#

I know the devs is working on it ☺️

karmic mesa
#

I'm not sure whether or not they intend to lower the minimum Android version to 7. But if they do a lot of devices would become compatible.

#

And that's nowhere near an understatement.

topaz reef
#

even if we enabled android 7, it would give a lot of false hope to players with devices that cannot run the game. it accomplishes nothing.
-Ktjn

karmic mesa
#

That is certainly true and that is why I have not asked for it.

#

There are way more incompatible Android 7 devices then there are compatible Android 7 devices. With a ratio that looks similar to 1 out of 90.

avoid anything that has an exynos processor, and check back in a month or two to see how the OnePlus Z compares to everything else when it launches

fast hearth
#

@daring quartz I just search up sky and it popped up on my Samsung Galaxy 10 plus . You could also try sending him a invite link through the game.

gritty basin
#

@fast hearth If it doesn't show up when they search for it in the playstore that is because it's not compatible with their device. So sending an invite link won't help.

fast hearth
#

@gritty basin yeah I guess that is also true.. that's really unfortunate to hear 😓 it's an amazing game.

I don't know why I cannot install this on Google play store

But apk is ok

Downloading Sky:CotL from 3rd party app store is against the #rules

You can't download map there

If you're really sure that's your phone is capable of running Sky, there's a step by step troubleshooting in pinned messages

woven shard
#

My phone is OnePlus 7 and google play and others are system app

#

So when I did clear data It seems not

#

Also tried with logout the Google account then clear data

#

Or it's because I have opengl es 3.2 not 3.1

karmic mesa

3.2 is better than 3.1 you don't have to worry

I'm not good at this

Is there a built in translator on Sky or do you have to go back and forth between sky and translation apps

I'd suggest you use the gboard app, it has a built-in google translate inside

I'm using the lastest version of oxygen

so you cleared both the cache and the data of google play, google play games, and google play services?

make sure you do this for all three, and then restart

When I tried to clear the data of them, they just used some data immediately

I'm sure I did that

but as soon as I clear data, It shows it use about 6~8MB of Data

It's going to do that. It may simply be that your device isn't in the database as compatible.

@vale notch android device specs arent very clear, but you surely need an phone using android 9 or newer

even thou one of my devices isnt in that spec range it works too. It also sometimes works when Sky isnt listet in the play store. This happens in example on my Custom Rom devices

I used android 10 but still encounter crashes. The crash will only happen in wasteland when i try to exit shipreck

Any other Android user get an overheating issue? If I play for a long while my phone gets really really hot, first time I ever played it it disabled the charger. I'm using an LG v40

#

I also only get lag when I'm on mobile network, and usually it's just a sound lag and slight latency issue. Don't experience that if I'm on wifi

everyone has overheating issues. it’s a very graphically, computationally, and battery intensive game. on top of that there’s a major bug in the latest major update that causes overheating

#

Ash. Ok, was hoping it wasn't just my phone, cuz this game is very pretty and fun for a cellphone mmo

solemn crypt

yeah, and the cost of it being pretty and fun on mobile is that it’s very difficult for a phone to run

i’m told tablets have a bit of an easier time, but i don’t own a tablet so i wouldn’t know

Only tablet I have is a Windows tablet so unless TGC makes it Windows compatible kind of stuck with just my phone

im pretty sure jailbreak/root stuff is also agaisnt tos

so its not just VM's

On apple devices it is "easier" to implement. on android you would just need to have a look at the running apps. thats rather easily possible. But it is the descition of the developers. i hope they will add at least a swich to use headphones.

#

And that's the reason why Android players don't have headphones and iOS do

#

They haven't figured a way to implement headphones on Android users

tender folio
#

handles sound... if you start a youtube video, the spotify song stops, but when you have the song running it is not a problem. When using spotify as an example the game could just have a look at the active notifications. thats possible without extended rights.

Commenting on development is very easy as a bystander, but it can actually be very complicated once you dive into the gritty details. I wouldn't judge TGC for taking their time, there's bound to be many issues associated with this.

I'm trying to redownload Sky on my samsung galaxy A10e but its saying that the game isn't capable of downloading. What do I do?

There are some minimum spec requirements in the pins of this channel

#

However if you’re trying to download it but you’re getting that message it’s most likely because your phone simply doesn’t have the capabilities to run the game

Will sky be getting high refresh rate support? For a red magic 3 for instance?

The Red Magic 3 is already 60fps compatible.

#

Try clearing all data for the game, too! Make sure your progress is saved with Google games beforehand.

obtuse drum
karmic mesa
#

Clearing the data and reinstalling the game are practically the same thing.

fast hearth
#

Not in all cases. Some files can remain after uninstalling an app, which may be corrupted. Clearing all data can remove them.

karmic mesa
#

Erm... No

fast hearth
#

Edit: an app*
I'm not sure about Sky o.O

karmic mesa
#

I know a lot about how Android works. When you click clear data it resets the app back to factory. If there are files that would remain after uninstalling, those files would still be there after clearing the data.

fast hearth
#

Doesn't that depend on which directory the data is stored in?

karmic mesa
#

Yes!

fast hearth
#

See answer 3.

#

Although Sky probably doesn't give such trouble SkyLogo

karmic mesa
#

Yeah everything that was said there follows along with my knowledge.

#

There's one application I found that stores it's settings externally. And that is the dolphin emu***or.

#

Sky however doesn't really have any settings to save. In fact if you have your save saved to a Google account you would log straight in like normal after a full reinstall.

#

Now that I'm thinking about applications that have this feature, Minecraft is one of them. If you set the setting to have your saves external they will still be there after a full reinstall. But if the saves are internal they will be deleted along with the app.

#
Android is my field of interest```
fast hearth
#

No worries!

#

E-readers also save data externally, and it remains after uninstalling the app. Minecraft can save worlds externally, there's an option for that in-game, as far as I remember, yes.

#

Anyway, thank you for clearing up the matter for me! It's easier to tell someone to reinstall an application, than navigate them through the data clearing process 😄

@silk vector your device's chipset isn't powerful enough to run the game

As for overheating, that's something that you can only fix by doing a break to cool the device down or play near by a fan

#

@fast hearth There is no option to turn sound off in Sky. Your best bet is to use a seperate app that controls individual app volumes. I recommend Sound Assistant by Samsung

It should. Look for it in the Play Store

Has one ever wondered why when they download a screen recorder the screen recorder never record internal audio. (Some proprietary built-in screen recorders do have this feature though) It is very hard to detect music being streamed through Android. Also there are hundreds of different music players, it would be very difficult to find out which is which. In other words, thanks to the way Android works the headphones will be very difficult to put in there accurately. Even if they do manage to implement it, you will always have that one device that doesn't work.

My friend has a Moto g6 and wants to play sky but it says the app is incompatible with her device, is there a way around this?

hollow spindle
#

Using second hand methods to install sky in a device goes agaisnt the ToS and EULA, so it isn't recommended and should be avoided

fast hearth
#

If Google Play says your device isn't compatible, your hardware is likely not powerful enough to play Sky. Even if you did manage to bypass the "restriction", you probably wouldn't be able to play.

#

And yes, I think it's against the ToS anyway?

karmic mesa
#

Technically, it is possible. However because it is against the terms of service, you shouldn't do it. Tho FYI I succeeded on installing it on 7.1.1. it was a very poor experience. Lol

#

Which is a second reason for why you shouldn't. You won't have a pleasant experience playing the game on a device not compatible.

fast hearth
#

Speaking of ToS, I'm not sure if I'm looking at the right one.

#

This is it, right?

wise ferry
#

It's right, yes

#

That's the one that's referred to when people talk about the ToS

I changed the rendering mode to opengl (Skia). Despite the game needing Vulkan AND that particular mode focusing on 2D graphics. It virtually killed the lag. Even on boosted definition mode.

Make sure your phone is cool, have a program that is automatically closing apps that are trying to run in the background, and make sure your device is running in game mode (if it has one)

nocturne aspen
#

So that hardware rendering is just for performance boost?

#

Or texture?

karmic mesa
#

If you're running on wi-fi turn on airplane mode and then manually turn on Wi-Fi. so that other radios aren't trying to bog down your device.

#

Your Sky experience should be smoother with all of these in place.

#

And I don't understand your question

nocturne aspen
#

It's just I'm wondering what this Force 4x MSAA does to the game

hollow spindle
#

It'll boost your gpu but itll drain your battery and make your phone get hot

#

Sometimes it doesn't get hot though so only battery drain

nocturne aspen
#

So there will be little graphics change in the game?

karmic mesa
#

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.

You may need to add the Screen Recorder option to the Quick Settings menu. To do so, tap on the pencil icon at the end of the quick settings panel and drag the “Screen Recorder” button to the top.

Simply tap the Screen Recorder toggle to get started.

Once the screen recording options pop up, you can tap on the red record button to begin recording your screen.

The gear icon opens the screen recording settings. Here you can set the video resolution, audio source, video orientation, and much more.
