[fast hearth]

not really sure where you're coming from with the button scaling thing or image rendering, but I definitely will agree the battery optimization needs work

ps3 what now

oh

well I think that's a bit of a different boat because support for it would entirely fall on RPCS3 devs to handle

not really sure where you're coming from with the button scaling thing or image rendering, but I definitely will agree the battery optimization needs work
@fast hearth
240x320 resolution enforced (no 3rd party utilities) - the friends button fills up my entire screen, can't even move

saw a guy with a problem on SD865+, the graphics looked like it was cut out with some crappy chainsaw

countless shader errors

how in God's name did you get 240x320, particularly on something with an 865+

I didn't even know that was possible

oh misread

either way, I'm still amazed
are you using a custom rom or something

I didn't even know that was possible
@fast hearth set the resolution using the android's internal shell util called wm

i used it actively to boost other games by playing on crappy resolutions

...okay yeah no wonder it's broken then
it's an edge case they didn't expect anyone to actually play that low

^ it lagged even on 800x480 (sd821)

Optimization

well yeah, the cloud rendering definitely could be optimized more

It performs anywhere from 30-60 FPS on my OnePlus 6 (8 GB RAM variant), so that's a Snapdragon 845

same thing (i've upgraded to 845 recently)

and I, as a former magisk user, can't update sky legally

[karmic mesa]

O.o

[fast hearth]

I haven't personally messed around with that, but going off my limited knowledge, assuming your device is already compatible, then the only thing you need to do is pass SafetyNet, right?
And that's not really something to blame TGC for...

I havethe only thing you need to do is pass SafetyNet, right?
@fast hearth yes

so that's why i said legally

Still not really sure how that reflects badly on the game itself, but ok

it does not at all

Ah my bad, misunderstood where you were going with that then

[wheat pollen]

Hello, does anyones meet the bug about graphics? Is glitching, I use androis and have update to the newest version

[fast hearth]

That's what i said about chainsaw graphics

Anyways, yes, Sky definitely could be optimized for power consumption and performance a lot more
But they're a relatively small studio working on a multiplatform game trapped by their own work schedule to constantly add more content to the game balancing that on top of keeping things running smoothly, so it's not unreasonable to let it slide

@wheat pollen check out #bug-reports-android and react to the message at the bottom - the bot will DM you

and who knows, maybe they'll figure something out while optimizing it for the Switch that can be used for other platforms
it's the same architecture anyway

maybe at least do not cut e-utils at all, y'know?

Like they added a specific check for it

#android-questions message

tl;dr support nightmare

I saw, but oh well, you still an't get it on Google market while in an e-utility

So normies would not run it

depends on what the device appears to be inside the emulator

[upper sail]

Using emulators is against the Sky TOS, @fast hearth. Please don’t use or discuss emulators here.

[fast hearth]

yes yes I know.

hm
i did not saw an emu passing SafetyNet

so oh well

anyway my MSI laptop came with some bloatware preinstalled to run Android apps, seemed like a modified [redacted] of some sort
I vaguely remember it showing up as a OnePlus 5 in diagnostics

[upper sail]

Using emulators is against the Sky TOS, @fast hearth. Please don’t use or discuss emulators here.

[fast hearth]

ah right, SafetyNet would be an issue

So, they already cut it from normies, but why from enthusiasts too?

Maybe i should go harder and actually start recompiling stuff...

well it'd be broken, wouldn't pass Play Protect, and they wouldn't have the resources to provide support

just cut out the support with a simple
"e-s are not supported"
message and let users still play, as they did for incompartible old CPUs?

Would be nice

[fair elbow]

got it but TCG will one day provide sky for 32-bit phone?

[fast hearth]

that, never

Would be nice
@fast hearth Can you ask ThatHelpBot then?

my acc is 2 young

I mean I did basically ask the same question already

got it but TCG will one day provide sky for 32-bit phone?
Nope
But that's kinda bad, because some modern phones are coming OEM-locked to 32 bits

I mean I did basically ask the same question already
@fast hearth Ok, i'll do it myself next day

as annoying as it is that a handful of older apps got deleted off the play store for not having 64-bit versions I'm glad google's forcing companies to stop being lazy and actually put 64-bit operating systems on

And they still do put 32-bit OSes on their 64-bit phones

[fair elbow]

so being TCG will never make sky available for 32-bit phones I don't have anything to do here because the Server is about sky but I will never play

[fast hearth]

TGC literally cutted ALL of my friends and classmates from playing just because of absence of 32-bit support

so i started abandoning sky

because sky without friends is not fun

[warped plank]

I had a device with the SD 625 and a 32Bit OS. Had to flash a custom rom to get the game running. Then again it's terrible on that SoC

[fast hearth]

@fair elbow switch and PC versions are coming eventually
also depending on your budget I've got links for affordable phones that should run the game great

yeah most devices that ship with a 32-bit OS these days generally don't have very good hardware anyway

[warped plank]

True

[fast hearth]

but some people play on adreno 505s

and enjoy

[fair elbow]

you know I was looking at the operating system of my cell phone and it is there 32 bits and 64 bits but like being 64 bits was off and I was using 32 bits

[warped plank]

you know I was looking at the operating system of my cell phone and it is there 32 bits and 64 bits but like being 64 bits was off and I was using 32 bits
@fair elbow sad :(

What do you guys reckon makes Sky so demanding in the first place tho?

[fast hearth]

people

and style

flight mechanics

[warped plank]

Ahh right

[fair elbow]

this is a deal i don't like TCG my cell phone and 64 bits 6 ram and 32 bits and 64 bits

[fast hearth]

if i don't have people to play with

i'd be just another complaining user

as i am now

[warped plank]

this is a deal i don't like TCG my cell phone and 64 bits 6 ram and 32 bits and 64 bits
@fair elbow
What device you using?

[fair elbow]

@warped plank samsung j7 pro

[fast hearth]

What do you guys reckon makes Sky so demanding in the first place tho?
@warped plank I can't find the message for the life of me, but I remember someone here saying it's because of how the clouds are rendered

so that's basically what I've been telling people
makes sense to me anyway, my phone has a much easier time maintaining 60 FPS in rooms where you can't see any clouds

[warped plank]

@warped plank I can't find the message for the life of me, but I remember someone here saying it's because of how the clouds are rendered
@fast hearth

Interesting... Then realms with minimal clouds should run better.... (Then again all realms are overflowing with those fluffy GPU hungry monsters)

[fair elbow]

And I'm brazilian

[fast hearth]

@warped plank I can't find the message for the life of me, but I remember someone here saying it's because of how the clouds are rendered
@fast hearth detailed geometry does the most

[warped plank]

I've also noticed the draw distance plays a role, ie frame rate is higher when looking at the ground than off into the distance

[fast hearth]

And I'm brazilian
@fair elbow how many is a brazilian

[warped plank]

And I'm brazilian
@fair elbow

Hmm

[fast hearth]

like
more polys = more lag
cand it correlates almost directly

[warped plank]

Makes sense

[desert isle]

here’s a message link to an answer from ktjn, which was probably the one cobalt was thinking of: https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/696838813506470013/709624880949231627

And I'm brazilian
@fair elbow

See if there's anything interesting here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7-2017
Try flashing some custom firmware.

Do it at your own risk but it's worth it

[fair elbow]

@fast hearth I did not understand your asking (and I am Brazilian not Brazilian write wrong

@warped plank no bro and I better buy another cell phone than these things are personalized or wait until one day TCG make sky available for 32bit phones

[fast hearth]

I was making a dumb English pun
"Brazilian" kinda sounds like a number (million, billion, trillion, etc)

my bad haha

[fair elbow]

thanks for answering my doubts and questions

[fast hearth]

@desert isle okay that's definitely what I was thinking of thank you

one day we will play sky on pentium mmxes

pfft

[warped plank]

@fair elbow true. Good phones are getting cheaper these days, and @cobalt sir can hook you up with a used device anyday

[fair elbow]

@fast hearth ata entendi

[fast hearth]

also, fun fact
some guys in the Switchroot community tried launching Sky through Android on a Switch
...it doesn't meet the minimum specs

LOL

they've got their work cut out for them for the Switch port

I guess that AEP requirement

[warped plank]

AEP? (Sorry me nub)

[fast hearth]

iirc they passed SafetyNet and everything

Android Extension Pack for graphics

Gtg

I haven't tried myself though, I've only used Ubuntu on it

[warped plank]

Any tips to increase performance without having to upgrade hardware. Literally anything from kernel tweaks to praying to the sky emperor?

[fast hearth]

@karmic mesa what's that thing you do to disable background processes again

[karmic mesa]

Activating these two settings will ensure that nothing is running in the background. However, I highly recommend turning them back off when you're done. Especially if you want your notifications.

[warped plank]

Is this different from clearing your recent apps?

[karmic mesa]

Definitely

Clearing it up from the recent apps doesn't close the background process that comes with the app.

You may notice that periodically throughout the day some people will light your candle. You will see this as a notification. If these settings are turned on. You won't get that notification because the background process is not running

[warped plank]

Aahh right

Thnx for explaining

[karmic mesa]

[wise loom]

Hmm. Is the Switch natively 32 bit?

[fast hearth]

nope, 64

it's got 4 GB of RAM, the same Tegra X1 GPU you can find in a Jetson Nano (or, for something you'll actually have heard of before, the Pixel C or an Nvidia Shield), and I don't remember the CPU

[wise loom]

Huh

So... What made it incompatible when they did the thing with Android on it?

[fast hearth]

probably specs

actually, maybe they didn't pass safetynet

I'll scroll back in message history and check

one guy said it wasn't compatible
someone else tried device spoofing and it crashed on startup

[wise loom]

huh

[fast hearth]

So

I bet Switch does not support AEP

Someone, please, show me some screenshots of what Aida64 shows on Switch

Here i go on Google Source, finding out how to spoof the device system features

[fast hearth]

i'm not sure
i've only used ubuntu on it

I WAS DUMB THE WHOLE TIME

OMG

YOU HAVE THE WAY TO SKIP ALL COMPARTIBLITY CHECKS!

So yeah, I did it, but the AVD's translation failed its task

So, i need to continue testing with Android-x86

[karmic mesa]

o.O

[fast hearth]

By defaqult it launches TGCBootActivity which does the checks

But by launching GameActivity you skip them

[karmic mesa]

Ummmm... Not sure you should be sharing that here

[fast hearth]

Well, i did not touch the code at least

[tame owl]

if it says that sky is not compatible then it is not compatible.

going around that may be against the terms of service

[fast hearth]

Also, i saw in logs that sky kinda EXPECTED x86 (desktop) cpu, but it has detected the "unknown" variant of it (x86_64, the 64-bit modification)

TGC is up to something

[karmic mesa]

Not may... Is

In order to circumvent the compatibility it means you have to get a third party copy... Which is against the terms of service.

[fast hearth]

Well, i got the copy shared by some random app sharing thingy from my mom's phone...

[karmic mesa]

That... Is actually allowed... There are laws in place that means you can have a backup copy legally.

[fast hearth]

So yeah, i shared it from my mom's phone, and then sent the SAI backup to my ... x86_64 Android device

And then i started it without tampering with any parts of code

[frozen ledge]

so, my friend saved his account on the game with google, uninstalled the game and now he is trying to get his account back
the problem is, the game tries to use the email to save the "new account" (created after he downloaded the game again) instead of recovering his old account, how can he solve this?

[fast hearth]

Hm

You need to install GP Games first, before Sky

Or clear Sky's app data and cache in Android settings

[frozen ledge]

ok will try it

[karmic mesa]

If you click recover account. It will pull up a message that asks if you want to abandon the current.

I'm constantly resetting my devices to factory so I am well aware of the procedure required to recover your account.

In addition I have my account on three different devices

It does allow you to hotspot dynamically between them.

[fast hearth]

So, i need to continue testing with Android-x86
@fast hearth android-x86 doesn't support 64-bit ARM, last I checked
the hardware bridging thing only does 32-bit

hm

i went ahead and installed 64bit bridge myself

[karmic mesa]

I was about to say... The 54-bit device would be interesting to see...

[fast hearth]

69 bit

[karmic mesa]

[fast hearth]

reddit moment

[fast hearth]

i went ahead and installed 64bit bridge myself
HUH

[fast hearth]

guys! I need to take a doubt. my cell phone is a moto g5s plus and i am looking to buy the "OUKITEL C21"... i saw it, compared it and it looks better than mine, but i am in doubt about its architecture, because sky needs architecture 64 Can anyone tell me if the "OUKITEL C21" has 64 architecture?

[karmic mesa]

It should work

It is true that that phone is more powerful than your current

[fast hearth]

you can definitely get a better value though

[karmic mesa]

The link?

Haha

[fast hearth]

well ... I'm going to buy, I hope his architecture is 64 haha

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_dcat=9355&_fsrp=1&Model=OnePlus%25205|OnePlus%25205T|OnePlus%25206|OnePlus%25206T|OnePlus%25207%2520Pro|OnePlus%25207T|OnePlus%25207T%2520Pro|OnePlus%25207|OnePlus%25206T%2520McLaren|OnePlus%25206%2520A6003&_sop=15&LH_BO=1&_nkw=oneplus+unlocked&_sacat=0&_from=R40&rt=nc
the link

[karmic mesa]

It is

[fast hearth]

@fast hearth give this page a look through

can i send link here?

all of these phones are much more powerful

i mean i just did

https://www.banggood.com/OUKITEL-C21-6_4-inch-FHD+-Hole-Punch-Display-4000mAh-Android-10-20MP-Front-Camera-4GB-64GB-Helio-P60-4G-Smartphone-p-1737597.html?utm_campaign=TechRio&utm_content=3638&p=B8011611860982015025&ID=62878306298362&cur_warehouse=HK

here

I saw this phone at banggood

a guy made a video and showed it in operation ... what caught my attention the most is the cell phone screen and the front camera

[karmic mesa]

You'll get a bigger bang for your buck going for the other link... The OnePlus devices available on that page are 1.cheaper and 2. Stronger

Also they're pretty much guaranteed to work

I've never even heard of that other brand

[fast hearth]

ooh, let me check

yeah i can't even find anything from oukitel on gsmarena or phonearena outside of news articles

which is not a good sign

[karmic mesa]

Yeah

[fast hearth]

this phone was recently launched, it is not old xD

[karmic mesa]

I think I might have seen a phone from that brand once in a pawn shop somewhere...

Cuz I've seen that name before... Just never looked into it

[fast hearth]

ooooh

wait

can a send a picture here too?

this phone was recently launched, it is not old xD
right, but i mean the brand in general

[karmic mesa]

Yes

[fast hearth]

is the "bit depth" that determines whether it is 64 or 32bit?

https://unite4buy.com/specs/OUKITEL-C21/
and i'm really not too optimistic with these specs

[karmic mesa]

Having the Mali G72 MP3... Means it'll perform about the same as the Samsung Galaxy A50 in sky... Which is mid-range

[fast hearth]

it is 64 bit, yes, but it's not a very good 64-bit phone

also, you won't be able to hit 60 FPS

[karmic mesa]

Nope

It'll actually lag pretty bad...

Unless you do some serious optimizations

Like me... 👀

[fast hearth]

what matters is playing at 30fps for now ... I intend to buy a better phone later, but this year I would like to buy it, since I have been with my moto g5s plus for a long time, I bought it on the day of launch :p

i would highly highly highly highly recommend getting a used OnePlus device

Like me... 👀
@karmic mesa I was interested 👀

[karmic mesa]

Yeah and your moto barely meets the requirements for sky.

[fast hearth]

and worst case scenario buying a replacement battery for it if it's old

i would highly highly highly highly recommend getting a used OnePlus device
@fast hearth it is very expensive here in my country QAQ

[karmic mesa]

So here's how it is... The phone you were wanting to buy is more powerful than the phone you currently have and will run the game.(fairly sure) it is very likely to have a 64-bit operating system so you don't really have to worry about that. If you cannot get a OnePlus device, that is fine, there are many other choices out there. If the only thing you wanted to know is whether or not it can, then it can.

[fast hearth]

haha Thank you. I think I will buy this phone for this year, and later on I will save money to buy a better one for me. Thank you all for your help ❤️ 🙏

[karmic mesa]

Mhmm

[fast hearth]

and feel free to check back here with any future questions you might have 👋

...i really should try and figure out what's a good budget option to recommend to people overseas

[karmic mesa]

Yeah....

[wise loom]

when it comes to the very budget brands for phones, and I did some of my own digging last month on a similar vein, many of them tend to operate from China. I was lucky if any one brand made it on to GSMArena. Some of them are nice for the specs to price, but support and OS updates are a mixed bag, of which at best is mediocre for each.

There are definitely brands that try to make decent stuff but it looks and kinda smells of partial effort.

almost like they get the specs they want to meet and they actually make the physical device, but then they just give up somewhere when making the OS to put on the device and just send it out as is

there are days where I wonder if building a Note 9 from scrap parts would be a better option than outright buying one new in box

and then I remember that I'd much rather buy a used 5500 XT off of ebay than try to do either

[karmic mesa]

Yeah...

[wise loom]

I still wanna replace my 2.75 slot evga 1660 ti

[pure yarrow]

its normal my redmi note 8 isnt compatible more?

[upper thicket]

Try the steps from this: https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/696838813506470013/697998766627881062 (the second part of the message)
If your phone was compatible before, it should still be, but sometimes google messes up.

[pure yarrow]

its worked! thx!

[wanton raft]

Hey! Is it possible to turn off the background music? I've really wanted to be able to listen to podcasts and stuff while I play but I haven't figured out how to do that or if it's even possible

[karmic mesa]

Currently that's only available in iOS

[wanton raft]

Aw man, thanks though :,^D

[karmic mesa]

However certain devices do have the ability to mute Sky specifically.

[wanton raft]

Oh? Do you know which ones?

[karmic mesa]

Newer Samsung devices I know can.

I don't know much about the other brands but I've heard people talk about them being able to as well

[wanton raft]

Ooh ok, thank you!!

[neat cedar]

Hello, I'm just wondering. I have a Huawei Mate 8 that supports Google Play services and is certified by Play Protect. I've been playing Sky for about half a year now on this device until around just before Prophecy began. When I tried to update it in Google Play Store, it said: "This app isn't compatible with your device anymore." I've tried the troubleshooting steps in the pins several times already, but it doesn't seem to fix. What should I do?

[buoyant dawn]

My friend has vulkan 1.0 and it runs sky. but they say that u need at least 1.0.3. I am confused

[fast hearth]

can poeple with moterola e7 plus play sky?

[warped plank]

@fast hearth most likely yes. The game should run fine, dunno if it'll show up in playstore as comparable tho

[buoyant dawn]

why wouldnt it show?

if it would run fine

[warped plank]

Sometimes Google Play Store messes up and shows the device isn't compatible

Even for devices on which the game runs okay

[buoyant dawn]

ooo

tenkiuu

[karmic mesa]

@buoyant dawn https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.saschawillems.vulkancapsviewer

This is the device I use for sky

It's the S7 so naturally it's out of date.

[buoyant dawn]

tenkiuuu

[karmic mesa]

Mhmm

[lost coral]

Hello, maybe someone can help me. I was trying to move sky to my sd card but it looks like i can't do that even after i turned on the option to force application to allow on external. Maybe some advice? My phone is Samsung Galaxy A20 s version Android 10 :0

[fast hearth]

Y'know, you can move anything to SD-card by remounting the /data partition, but that would need Root

And also, Sky'd be laggy while on SD card

Also, it's weird, that on some devices, Vulkan does "exist" but can't be seen by some utilities

[lost coral]

Oh

[sweet stag]

can you mute the music with an android?

[warped plank]

Not yet no

[sweet stag]

thanks

[naive pollen]

@sweet stag (sorry for the ping) if youre using a samsung, you can download the samsung sound assist app to manually mute Sky every time you launch the game.

[sweet stag]

thank you!! i will try it :)

[fast hearth]

sky with magisk legally when

[night vector]

Uhmm- am I the only person that managed to get **over ** Cave of Prophecy (idk what's the English name-)

[atomic beacon]

I think that's a question for #questions-and-help Angii. This channel is devoted to Android queries only

[upper thicket]

Or for #general-sky-discussion !

[atomic beacon]

If it's a genuine question, then #questions-and-help . If not, then #general-sky-discussion

[night vector]

Oookay

[wise loom]

@karmic mesa you doin ok?

[karmic mesa]

O.o

Yeah! Why do you ask?

[wise loom]

The past couple of short messages felt kind of off. Just checking in! :)

[karmic mesa]

Ah

I've been spending my time with a girl...

[past terrace]

I want to reset my phone!so I connected my account to Google play

Will it stay after reset?

[upper thicket]

Make sure to save your Sky ID somewhere!

[past terrace]

Uhh like connect sky with Google play haha I'm confused

[upper thicket]

It might not stay, which is why it is good to link your account and save your ski id, so you can get your game back

!skyid

[upper sail]

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.

[past terrace]

Thanks!

[upper thicket]

Doing both is the safest

[past terrace]

And uh

Where do I put the code later?

To get my stuff back

[karmic mesa]

I actually reset my phones often... Linking a Google account to your save should work just fine. If you don't feel safe with just Google you can also link your Facebook as well (assuming you have one). Once you get into the game after the device has been reset you will go into account from the settings area in game. (Make sure Google play games is installed) you will want to hit recover after signing in. It will prompt you to abandon the current safe (the dud account that was just created) and switch it out for your current. You will want to click abandon. It will then restart into your save.

[upper thicket]

The code is in case there's a problem retrieving your account using the linking option

[karmic mesa]

It's referred to as the recovery code. If for whatever reason you cannot get your save back from your Google account. You can get it back by contacting customer support and providing that code.

[radiant flume]

Just came into the discord to ask how I'd check if my phone was compatible with Sky, I've been trying to get into it for afew months now but can't seem to download it, a friend told me to ask here.

[karmic mesa]

Sky requires Android 8 or higher
ARM 64bit with Neon
At least 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

If you're unsure which version of opengl or vulkan your device supports, there are apps in the play store that can tell you.

Unfortunately, devices that use PowerVR GPUs are incredibly unstable RN.

Make sure the operating system is 64-bit. Sky WILL NOT run on a 32-bit operating system.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tgc.sky.android

[radiant flume]

That wasn't what I was asking sorry, I don't know how to check if I have an 8 or higher, I can't seem to find it in settings at all to check

[karmic mesa]

In the settings at the bottom you should find about phone

Some phones have it listed under the software information tab

[radiant flume]

Which one would it be in? I have r different sections of settings and I've looked everywhere in settings

There is no software information tab

[karmic mesa]

What device do you have

[radiant flume]

I have no idea, that's one of the problems

It wasn't mine originally and it was just given to me,

[karmic mesa]

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.finalwire.aida64

[radiant flume]

I can't download it, the link works but I can't download the app. I've been sent that link by afew different people now

[karmic mesa]

Are you sure you're on Android?

[radiant flume]

Yes, I just found the setting about the phone

It says the android is 9

[karmic mesa]

Okay

Do you have the Google play store?

You could be on a Huawei device

[radiant flume]

Yes, I have the Google play store

[karmic mesa]

Then why can't you download the application? Is it incompatible?

[radiant flume]

No idea, I'll try the link again

[astral bramble]

Is there a way to check if their device runs on 32 bit without knowing what the device is?

[radiant flume]

Sometimes it doesn't make the links worl

[karmic mesa]

Ya. If you have the device in your hands then you can check whether or not it is 32-bit.

There is an application on the play store called "64-bit checker"

I can't give you a link to it because the link triggers the bot to delete it.

[radiant flume]

How would I check if I have a 32 or not?

[karmic mesa]

Same app

I can send to you the link to it through DMs if you'd like

[radiant flume]

What app?? I'm sorry you're confusing me

[astral bramble]

They can dm you an app that can check if it's 64 bit for you

[radiant flume]

Ah, yes that would be helpful

[karmic mesa]

Here's hoping you see this

[radiant flume]

Alright, it said it was a 32, thank you for the help

[karmic mesa]

Np

[fair elbow]

so this is a very random question but has TCG any news about the availability of sky for 32-bit phones?

[karmic mesa]

I don't think so

32-bit has a lot of limitations that would make it very difficult to port Sky to it. Did you know the absolute limit of the amount of ram that you can hold on a 32-bit device is 4 GB. Whereas a 64-bit device can hold about 16 exabytes of RAM as the theoretical maximum.

[fair elbow]

got it thanks for answering me

[upper thicket]

Also- "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." https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/696838813506470013/708801629398368376

Unfortunately some phones are just not strong enough

[karmic mesa]

There will be a day when technological advancements reach a plateau. When everybody's phone will be the same power level. When the only way to get more powerful is to get bigger.

Maybe not anytime soon...

[wise loom]

We haven't reached peak capitalism yet

Jk

[karmic mesa]

[fast hearth]

I think we're getting there
Think about how small the leaps between, say, console generations are in terms of performance and visuals as opposed to the differences between different gens about a decade ago

[karmic mesa]

Yeah

Things are definitely slowing down

[upper thicket]

Does your friend know the model of the phone?

[karmic mesa]

That brand is known for making prepaid phones... Most of which isn't more than $30... I wouldn't be surprised if that phone would have a hard time playing Minecraft...

[prisma iris]

a few Alcatel models can run Sky (as seen from a few bug reports), but they were reporting issues

[karmic mesa]

It is an actual brand after all... And they do end up with their stronger phones.

Is there any way you can get the model?

It can usually be found in about phone in the settings menu

Well for starters... The PowerVR gpus have issues with the game

It's not a bad phone... It's about mid-range

But I'm betting it's the Vulkan insufficiencies in PowerVR that's causing it to come up as incompatible.

[prisma iris]

system isn't powerful enough to run the game

[karmic mesa]

Yeah

[karmic mesa]

Most likely... RCA tablets are usually x86 too... But I'll take a look at that specific model

Android version too low

The specs online say it's Android six and it needs eight

In addition, it does not support opengl es 3.1 or Vulkan... So even if it was Android 8 it still couldn't run the game.

No problem!

[fast hearth]

Also, most likely, the game will crash.

[fast hearth]

Also, Sky has so much stuff fixable by some really un-worthy patches

[wise loom]

then you could shoot them an email with your suggestions, but at the same time I doubt they would do much unless its an easy fix for one to three people to do and impacts the game enough to make it worthwhile. They are a small team after all. Between content for future updates along with the Switch version and the pandemic making work-from-home their lives now, they are likely stretched out far enough to where something cannot be done until things calm down.

that's part of why the Switch version got delayed when it was originally supposed to launch in September of this year.

They're trying their best but there's only so much they can do right now.

I still want a tech-discussion channel for this kind of stuff. That way we don't have to fill other channels with tech talk, including this one.

[karmic mesa]

That's an idea... But I can't see something like that being created just for things like this... Though it would be nice.

[upper thicket]

It would probably count as too off topic

[wise loom]

True. Although it would be more useful whever they make a PC version.

[karmic mesa]

Yeah

Then they would probably just call it "tech support"

[wise loom]

Then we get to tell them not to buy a 2k graphics card when they only have a 5 year old Pentium cpu

[karmic mesa]

Haha

My PC is in the opposite predicament

[wise loom]

Rip

Mine isn't in a good spot either atm. Screw Intel and their changing sockets every year it feels like.

[karmic mesa]

Oof

[wise loom]

Would've been better if I had gone AMD at the time.

[karmic mesa]

I just hope that when they make the PC release... They make it running on DirectX... Not Vulkan... Because if they run it on Vulkan my poor 8-year-old integrated GPU can't support it...

[wise loom]

What the heck

[karmic mesa]

XD

[wise loom]

Bruh

XD

[karmic mesa]

Intel HD Graphics 4400

It can run journey... 👀

[wise loom]

I have a 1660 ti. It's fine. Tbh for you I would browse eBay for used amd gpu's

[karmic mesa]

I plan on building an actual PC soon... And I'm going to go all out when I do.

[wise loom]

Legit

[karmic mesa]

What I have currently is a laptop

[fast hearth]

Intel HD Graphics 4400
i wondered why journey kept lagging then i realized i had to go into nvidia's control panel and force the game to use my Nvidia GTX 1060 instead of the Intel UHD 630

[karmic mesa]

Haha

If I have the game running at 960 by 540. Then I can get 30fps on the lowest settings.

The part that makes me Wonder though... The PlayStation 3 graphics is about the same power level as the Intel HD Graphics 4400. Yet, the PlayStation 3 can play it at 1080 whereas my laptop cannot. Could the optimizations between the two platforms be that drastic?

[prisma iris]

perhaps this should be continued in DMs

[fast hearth]

optimization is everything

[humble copper]

Anyone else having probs with their constellation? I cannot see my favorites

[next yoke]

Do you mean the names? Sometimes my games bugs out (even on iPad) and it’ll either not show the names or the names will like still be hanging in the air, restarting the app fixes it usually

Is it really impossible to play sky on my phone

[upper thicket]

Do you know what model it is?

There doesn't really seem to be a reason why it wouldn't as far as I see...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tgc.sky.android

Try using this link

[jolly moth]

It says device is compatible

Can you play sky on a rooted device????

[upper thicket]

You technically can, but that can cause issues with apps and games, including sky

[jolly moth]

Ok

[plush cape]

Guys, I cant burn plants in forest. Tried it with other players and it didnt work. Anyone knows what's up?

I'm sorry I mess up the channels sometimes

[humble copper]

@next yoke yeah the names don't show up. It's been happening for 2 days now. I have restarted the game multiple times but it still happens.

[sleek torrent]

Any tips for smoother android gameplay? My device can run pubg at 60fps and 3 thunderbolts is unavailable to me

Also battery usage

Ping me when answered 👍

[quaint vapor]

hey i have a question

did the game get a bit smoother ijn android?

even though it is at two thunderbolts

[wise loom]

wdym by "thunderbolts"?

[karmic mesa]

They're the gfx settings in the in game menu

They are represented as "thunderbolts"

[wise loom]

oh yeah

forgot about that

set mine to 60fps mode and left it there

[karmic mesa]

I mean...

Must be nice... 👀

[wise loom]

and I think that 60fps mode and high definition mode are two seperate modes right?

[karmic mesa]

Ya

[wise loom]

HD mode is 30fps I think

[karmic mesa]

Ya

[wise loom]

Any tips for smoother android gameplay? My device can run pubg at 60fps and 3 thunderbolts is unavailable to me
@sleek torrent 3 "bolts" is HD mode, which means it runs at a higher quality setting but only at 30fps, which is much more intensive than just running the game at two "bolts". as for 2 "bolts" that is the 60fps mode at standard definition. On the other side, Sky uses a different engine completely than PUBG, so other games are not a good indicator for what quality of Sky you can run.

For the battery heat issue, that's gonna happen based on how high you set your settings. if you don't want your phone to be able to fry eggs, consider lowering the quality settings.

For smoother gameplay, consider making sure no other apps are running in the background. There's some messages around here that can tell you how to do that and some of the other conditions for using the setting.

On another note we could consider Sky to be the Crysis of the Android world.

[sleek torrent]

Hmm friend what I'm saying is I can't get 60 fps without you know what

Samsung should not make exynos

[wise loom]

oh I completely agree on the exynos sentiment

[karmic mesa]

Uhhh

[sleek torrent]

Or they should overtake Snapdragon by a goooodddd margin

[wise loom]

eh... unlikely

[sleek torrent]

Maybe sky's optimization is bad?

[wise loom]

possibly.

[karmic mesa]

Settings
0 = Low Res/ 20FPS
1 = Standard/ 30FPS
2 = Boosted Definition/ 30FPS
3 = Max/ 60 FPS

[sleek torrent]

I want 60fps the ned

*end

[wise loom]

but some of what the game is doing isn't exactly... normal.

or at least I haven't seen many other games do the stuff that Sky does

plus its on TGC's own in-house engine

:I

[sleek torrent]

or at least I haven't seen many other games do the stuff that Sky does
@wise loom like?

[fast hearth]

clouds

[wise loom]

yes

clouds

[prisma iris]

please don't discuss breaking of ToS

[wise loom]

literally 75% of the game at least is rendering the clouds and the "soft" physics they do

lighting is another thing that needs a lot of gpu power

[karmic mesa]

Yeah

[wise loom]

textures and models may be rather simple, but the clouds and lighting on their own are a big part of why the game is so heavy

[karmic mesa]

Glad they're using vulkan and not opengl...

[wise loom]

yep

[tranquil depot]

[next yoke]

@next yoke yeah the names don't show up. It's been happening for 2 days now. I have restarted the game multiple times but it still happens.
@humble copper Hmm other than restarting your device as well, idk how to help you really. Usually after one or two tries it fixes itself for me, although if other problems are also occuring you could make sure you have your account linked and save your recovery code, then just reinstall the app.

[jolly mural]

Hey, I'm having some trouble with logging into my functioning account, I just can't log out from the old one, does anyone know how to do it?

[upper thicket]

Do you mean retrieving your correct game? Or logging in with a google account?

[jolly mural]

Both(?)

[upper thicket]

To retrieve your game you have to tap on the link option, write the email your correct game was linked to. And press yes when it asks to abandon current game. If there already is an email in the link option, you cannot change it manually and will have to go through support.

[desert isle]

if your old account is linked to a google account, make sure you’re not logged into that one anywhere on your device. if you delete your app and reinstall it should be able to recover the account you want by the method Lu described correct me if I’m wrong tho

[upper thicket]

If you're talking about the sign in option (which doesn't help link and as such retrieve your game, just connects to google play store), you just have to change the google account on google play directly

[karmic mesa]

Make sure Google Play Games is installed

[upper thicket]

Unicornmisty is right, you can actually also do that. However, don't just delete the app and reinstall, that doesn't always work. Clear cashes, uninstall, turn phone off (not restart), turn back on and reinstall. And then do the first steps I said in my first message

[jolly mural]

Ok, thank you all so much

[stuck cradle]

Sky’s particle physics are astonishing .. this includes rain,candles,smoke,clouds,flight dust😂,light ,sparks ... ive never seen a game do it so well ... for this I’m addicted to sky .. the visuals are so beautiful I start getting withdrawals from the feeling of flight and the deep roar you feel through your fingers when you flap your wings and the energy dust comes out ...

[karmic mesa]

TGC has provided visuals of that quality in nearly (If not all) of their games.

[fast hearth]

rendering the clouds makes your phone spontaneously combust but they're really well done

[red quail]

anyone with a snapdragon 865 device? wanna know how well it runs

[stuck cradle]

The water too I forgot is amazing also ... how could I miss the first thing I noticed about sky that made my jaw drop... my phone don’t combust , I’m lucky for now

[karmic mesa]

@red quail Very well

[red quail]

oooo, does it easily overheat?

[fast hearth]

as much as i joke about that, i haven't had it happen on my snapdragon 845 phone very much at all recently

they've made it much more manageable on higher-end phones

[karmic mesa]

It doesn't overheat at normal room temp

[red quail]

does your phone heat up fast on 60fps?

[fast hearth]

865 you're more than good to go

[karmic mesa]

Yeah

[fast hearth]

i only ever play on 60 FPS

[red quail]

i see, how about on default 30?

[stuck cradle]

Because phones are small they all sufffer from heat, their is no escaping it but the heat issue is fine for me and getting better for others I hear ...

[karmic mesa]

No no no... It doesn't over heat at 60 FPS... I was agreeing with Cobalt

[karmic mesa]

No

[fast hearth]

#android-questions message

there is a delay over bluetooth audio

[karmic mesa]

Unless your using bluetooth

[fast hearth]

well, that entirely depends on the hardware

[red quail]

i see, how about when you're screen recording?

[fast hearth]

but i always have to use my headphone jack when playing music

[karmic mesa]

As good as the software

[fast hearth]

screen recording doesn't add any latency to the best of my knowledge

[stuck cradle]

They work for sure .. mine is a heat sink and fan on top of a semi conductor which turns anything it touches to ice .. literally .. it works very well

[fast hearth]

performance may seem slightly worse in the recording itself, depending on your hardware though
so i doubt you'll have issues with a phone as powerful as yours

[stuck cradle]

Screen recording is how I play my iPhone 12 pro max on 60 fps

[red quail]

aight thank you guys so much!!

[stuck cradle]

Apples issue maybe ... not tgcs...either way sky is flawless now and I’m happy

[karmic mesa]

I have used mobizen and the built-in screen recorder on the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G... And you could play for hours and not notice it running.

[stuck cradle]

Same with built in apple screen recorder

[fast hearth]

you realize you're in the android channel right

[karmic mesa]

XD

[stuck cradle]

I came to answer a question of a android friend

[fast hearth]

anyways speaking of apple, android doesn't have the thing where the UI disappears while recording, so if you want to make gameplay videos i'd highly recommend hooking up an xbox or playstation controller or something to play @red quail

because doing so automatically hides both the onscreen control stick, the jump/fly button, and flight mode button

[red quail]

yeah i knew about that already. oh well, better than choppy frames xD

[karmic mesa]

Yeah

[red quail]

thanks again for the help guys!!

[karmic mesa]

I started Sky on the Samsung Galaxy A20... And that made the game look bad... But after I installed it on the S7, I began to realize how the game actually worked... I mostly use the S7 these days and occasionally use the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 (SD 865+, Same as 865 just clocked higher)

[shut berry]

Any recommendation for translator in sky?

[boreal tapir]

Gboard is highly recommended, give it a try!

[lost coral]

Yep Gboard very recommended

[forest estuary]

Why i cant login?

Pls help

[lost coral]

Have you tap the sign in button?

After that you need to wait for a second when you're screen got a little black, there will be an option from google play games to choose what account that you will connect to sky and save the progress

[native zenith]

Hello, can someone tell me if Samsung galaxy A71 suitable for playing this game ? Or another phone that can play this game (not Iphone cause I can't buy it)
@proper nacelle It is suitable to run Sky

[crystal gyro]

Any thing can run sky except on laptops and computers

[native zenith]

Some devices are very slow and glitchy while trying to run sky

[proper nacelle]

@proper nacelle It is suitable run Sky
@native zenith oh, thank you very much

[crystal gyro]

Wait laptops can run sky?

And computers?

[boreal tapir]

Nope. There's no pc release for Sky, therefore there is none

[native zenith]

The PC version of Sky might be available soon

[crystal gyro]

Then why did this dog say no

[boreal tapir]

Because not 'everything' can run Sky. There are requirements to run the game and has to be compatible with the app

[karmic mesa]

Yeah, anything is a broad term. As of now, only Android and iOS can play Sky... You can't expect a Kindle Fire from 3 years ago to even try... 👀

[crystal gyro]

Kindle fire?

Which android phone is best for playing sky

[fast hearth]

http://www.antutu.com/en/ranking/rank1.htm
https://phonearena.com
https://willmyphonework.net

If you want the best performance for a price that won't break the bank, probably the Poco F2 Pro right now

check willmyphonework to see if it supports your carrier though

anyways you don't need the F2 Pro to play Sky
Just about anything on that antutu list should perform fine, as long as it doesn't have an Exynos processor

[fast hearth]

But for the Sky china server it can be run on pc

[pearl jackal]

@fast hearth no way. Do any pc support vulcan API?

[prisma iris]

the Chinese version of the game is run by a completely different company so the two cannot be compared

[fast hearth]

@pearl jackal practically every modern PC supports vulkan unless you're shopping for computers in the bargain bin

Does anyone started feeling their device heat up almost immediately after launching the game, recently? 😦

[karmic mesa]

It has been that way since the game was released

[wise loom]

^^^

Although my RM5G's fan has started kicking in a little sooner than it used to... Then again I almost never test that stuff.

[karmic mesa]

[wise loom]

But on a mid range I think it would be more noticeable

[karmic mesa]

I always play with a fan strapped to the back of my phone... The S7 would burn you otherwise

Hehe

[wise loom]

Oof

[karmic mesa]

And that's on any game not just sky

Except Minecraft

[wise loom]

My Pixel 2 during beta was an interesting experience

Settings weren't locked

I could try to do high def mode on what is now closer to mid-range than flagship

Although that did make it capable of hurting my hand through the plastic shell and the case I had it in.

Umm so my phone is rlly laggy when i play sky. Do you guys have any tip how I can reduce the lag?

[pallid wraith]

Have you tried lowering the graphics? Its in settings, the battery with the lightning bolts

Does anyone know if tgc is planning to have the option of turning off the bg music off?

[atomic beacon]

@floral oasis (sorry for ping) this is what Ktjn said about it -
As far as a "detailed roadmap" for implementing things like the headphones for external sound, we'll give updates when we have more information, of which there is none at this time. The way external sound is detected on Android is fundamentally different than iOS, at this time we cannot replicate how the headphones are activated and do not have an ETA on when this will be resolved, if ever

[native zenith]

Android 10 and above can record internal audio so it might be possible soon

I understand

Thank you

[karmic mesa]

Mhmm

[upper thicket]

Unfortunately not. You can use phone recorder or just a different recorder than the google one, it will at least show less of the big fat recorder button, but it will still show conversations and wedges. Using a controller will however hide the fly and jump button

[fast hearth]

https://www.androidcentral.com/oneplus-has-adopted-these-ideas-future-versions-oxygenos

Separate volume for each app and allow dual media playback: This idea is fairly self-explanatory, but this would allow each app its own volume setting. It would also keep audio from other apps or even systems sounds like a phone call, from interrupting what the user is currently listening to. This way users can give or deny permission to any apps wishing to pause your music.

[azure portal]

um i dont know if this is a question but when sky will be able on more android versions? i want my friends to get sky but their phone/tablet is not affording it

[wise loom]

Don't think it will considering the requirements

[azure portal]

sorry? i have bad english. wdym?

[fast hearth]

@azure portal if a device cannot install Sky, then their phone/tablet is too weak

sky is a very demanding game to run and requires a powerful device

they will have to buy a new one

[azure portal]

oh-

[karmic mesa]

Most newer mid-range and stronger are capable. Every one of the A-series Samsung phones from the A20 up can play sky. I got my a20 for $80 on eBay... 👀

[azure portal]

i am turkish so its more expensive. like 2,000 turkish lira. luckilly i have a20

but thanks for info

[azure portal]

also can i ask how to change games language? my friend says its language is japanese in her phone

[karmic mesa]

The game follows the language of the device it's on.

So you'd have to change the device language in order to change the in-game.... Assuming I'm remembering correctly.

[azure portal]

ohok

thanks!

[karmic mesa]

[azure portal]

also sorry for asking alot questions but does the game have turkish option? :,D

[karmic mesa]

It might support Turkish... I'm not sure though... Trial and error can help you find out! You don't have to worry about asking questions here, that is the reason this channel exists.

[azure portal]

ah okay! my phone language is turkish but game is english thats why

[karmic mesa]

It might not support Turkish then.

English is one of the most well-known languages... So it makes sense that that would be the default.

[azure portal]

ah its okay for me :,D i know english :,D

[dark quail]

Hello, I have an android and for some reason I can't find sky on the Play Store

[karmic mesa]

Sky requires Android 8 or higher
ARM 64bit with Neon
At least 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

If you're unsure which version of opengl or vulkan your device supports, there are apps in the play store that can tell you.

Unfortunately, devices that use PowerVR GPUs are incredibly unstable RN.

Make sure the operating system is 64-bit. Sky WILL NOT run on a 32-bit operating system.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tgc.sky.android

Your device may not be compatible with Sky

[dark quail]

I don't know about any of this stuff but is this ok?

[karmic mesa]

O.o

Android version

That's all I can see from that

[dark quail]

Oh

[karmic mesa]

Try Aida64 on the Play store

[dark quail]

Okie

It's downloading

[karmic mesa]

You're running on a Samsung Galaxy... And one of the older ones. It looks like it might have came out after the S7. Based on Android version and UI design.

[dark quail]

Oh

[karmic mesa]

Not compatible... The Samsung Galaxy Tab A runs on a 32-bit operating system.

[dark quail]

That stinks

[karmic mesa]

In addition... The Exynos 7870 couldn't run Sky even if it was on a 64-bit operating system.

[dark quail]

I used to have an I pad that I played games on then it got hacked so I had to get a tablet for my games

Is it ok if I still talk here and share my past stories with Sky?

[karmic mesa]

In #general-sky-discussion

[vernal compass]

Yes, it's alright if you still stay here and talk about Sky in the proper channels. The server is open to anyone, as long as you follow the #rules

it's the same tech you use to slap your phone onto a machine at a restaurant to pay for stuff instead of using your credit card

(i looked up your device - it supports it)

[karmic mesa]

Of course it does

I would be kind of concerned if the Note 8 didn't

[fast hearth]

in my defense

https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_8_0-5252.php

there is more than one note 8

[karmic mesa]

Oof

Yeah

Good luck playing sky on that though

[fast hearth]

oh there's no way the one in the link could play it haha

[karmic mesa]

Kit Kat... Wow

[silent verge]

I double checked and yes my NFC was on. But my settings still lacked any STAR options. And it doesnt seem to react to the pin.

[fast hearth]

hm

make sure it's on before the game starts?

i'd say DM @compact basalt and the staff should get back to you in a day or two at most, from my experience

[silent verge]

Yup. Switched it on for the whole day before i entered the game.

[silent verge]

Alright. I'll try that thanks!!

[karmic mesa]

O.o

That's the first time I've seen the reply feature

[fast hearth]

have you not seen the new-

[karmic mesa]

Hehe

[fast hearth]

yeah

[karmic mesa]

Looks like they got rid of quote

Haha

[fast hearth]

it's annoying that the option to mention someone in a reply it automatically on

oh you can still type quotes the same way manually

[karmic mesa]

Yeah

[fast hearth]

> like so

[karmic mesa]

I know how to do it

[fast hearth]

the lurkers probably don't

[karmic mesa]

Putting three in the row will allow a list

[fast hearth]

i usually just
hit shift enter

[karmic mesa]

Mhmm

[lost coral]

This count as nfc right?

[native zenith]

I just searched and sadly Nearby device scanning is different than NFC

https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-NFC-and-nearby-features-in-phones-these-days

[crystal gyro]

Why i cant take a video in sky?

[atomic beacon]

Sadly, there is no in-game recording like iOS on Android. You have to use Google Play recording feature, which also records chat and UI

Ktjn said something about it, i'll try to find it

Hey guys? I made a purchase using my android phone. But I did not get any candles.

[native zenith]

Have you tried the restore purchase option in the gear ⚙️ menu

[terse lynx]

I can't download the app at all

[native zenith]

Do you not see it in Google play store? @terse lynx

If not then your device might not be compatible

[rare panther]

ummm im new here and i know i may sound like a dumb baby but
where do i install the game? im on a huawei Y6 if that help...

[brave charm]

@rare panther https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tgc.sky.android&hl=en_US&gl=US

[rare panther]

Ty

[elder garnet]

Do you know why the height potion doesn't work?

I used 4 but didn't changed at all

[native zenith]

That is a bug. Just restart the game!

[elder garnet]

I did restart the game, but still doesn't work...

[karmic mesa]

Does the Chibi mask Work?

[elder garnet]

Chibi mask? Or chibi potion?

[karmic mesa]

Chibi Mask

[elder garnet]

It Works

[karmic mesa]

Hm

Does the potion?

[restive wharf]

I uh have a question, when we listen to music while playing Sky, why does the headphones doesnt appear?

[karmic mesa]

That is currently an iOS feature.

[restive wharf]

Awhhh :((

[native zenith]

Check the pins for more information

[restive wharf]

Okii

[proven quail]

This is going to sound really silly.... How in the world do I open the settings menu? I got it open once and can't seem to get there again 😅

[karmic mesa]

Tap the top right corner of your screen

[proven quail]

It just seems to bring up the android stuff, but I'll try again! Thank you! I knew I was missing something obvious!

[karmic mesa]

You don't have to tap at the direct top, just in the general corner.

[proven quail]

Got it! Thanks again!

[wintry tulip]

Hi I have the same google account on both my ipad and my android phone. I want to remove that account from my android phone so that I can create a secondary account however it wont give me the option to unlink my google account. I’ve tried uninstalling it but it still automatically links it.

Does anyone know how to unlink it ? 😭😭

[karmic mesa]

Iirc Having two accounts is against the TOS...

However, you will need to contact CS to have you account unlinked.

[wintry tulip]

Oof ok tysm !

[karmic mesa]

[faint isle]

@static ridge Developers tell me why in real life 1 day passes, and in the game 2 days, I can't go through the season of the prophecy. 24 days left /.
I don't know 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♂️

[desert isle]

please do not cold ping the staff of the server they’re pretty busy, and you likely will not get an answer this way either. if you have any questions for tgc, you can DM @compact basalt for instance, where someone will always read and respond to your message

[prisma iris]

The game runs on Pacific Time, so daily reset in your timezone may fall in the middle of your day. Reset is at 00:00 PST every day
For example, a region that is 12 hours ahead of PST will have reset at noon (while people in PST have the reset at midnight). Therefore the 12 hour difference creates two "days" in Sky even though it's only one according to your timezone, if that's the issue that you're facing and not a bug.

[lost coral]

I just searched and sadly Nearby device scanning is different than NFC
Oh oki... People says that Samsung Galaxy A20s has nfc enabled but I can't find any shortcut button or NFC settings oof

[fast hearth]

Guys

Can someone help me? I lost all of my potion when I installed sky this night, I have keep those potion for a long time and now it's gone, idk what to do now

[prisma iris]

restart the game to see if it's a bug

is all your other progress still there?

[regal jackal]

Guys , How can I change in game language ?

[vernal compass]

It uses your device's default language, so you would have to change it in your device settings

[regal jackal]

oh I see , thank you

[sonic nest]

I wanted to play Sky with my friend but she has a Samsung Galaxy s5 and the game is not in her Google Play Store. I don't know why.☹

[karmic mesa]

Multiple reasons. Sky requires Android 8 and the Galaxy S5 is on Android 6. Furthermore the Adreno 330 does not support the Vulkan API. That phone is simply too old.

[sonic nest]

Okay thank you so much!😊

[karmic mesa]

[unique fiber]

Hi, I have sent a report but I wanna ask... Any idea why my friend keeps crashing her game using Redmi Note 9? Every time she enters a realm it's a gamble, and more often than not her game just crashed.

[static ridge]

sorry for late reply, two things I want to address:

First, could you also please ensure your display name/server nickname is family friendly? I am going to change it to Child of Light for right now, but you are welcome to change it to something else as long as it follows community guidelines.

Second, Wren gave a good explanation to your question, so I'm going to quote it:

For example, a region that is 12 hours ahead of PST will have reset at noon (while people in PST have the reset at midnight). Therefore the 12 hour difference creates two "days" in Sky even though it's only one according to your timezone, if that's the issue that you're facing and not a bug.```

PST is UTC-8 right now. Also, the days remaining counter will be off by 1 because the final day counts down by hours.

[woeful umbra]

Hello, I have been playing the game "SKY" for about 4 months. Since about 1 and half month, the graphic of the game started to break. So I'd like to ask for help but not sure if this is the right place to ask.

[fast hearth]

@woeful umbra i'd suggest filing a report by reacting to the message at the bottom of #bug-reports-android

[woeful umbra]

@fast hearth
Thank you!

[late mantle]

My phone is not compatible anymore before update available. End of the Gameplay

[red quail]

Anyone have a Samsung Galaxy S20+/S20 Ultra/Note 20 Ultra/ or a phone with a linear vibration motor? I have a question about haptics. Are there haptic feedback when playing sky like on an iphone?

[kind kayak]

My device was compatible and now it's not when I tried to update

There is a known issue with Google Play sometimes showing devices as not compatible when they really are. Give the following steps a shot:

-Force close all applications
-Pull down the notification bar on your Android device and hit the gear-shaped settings icon, or find “Settings” in the application tray.
-Navigate to Apps, or App Manager.
-Scroll down and find Google Play Store.
-Tap Clear Cache and Clear Data.
-Repeat steps for Google Play Games and Google Play Services
-Power your device completely down (do not hit the Restart button)
-BE SURE TO LINK YOUR SKY ACCOUNT TO GOOGLE TO SAVE YOUR PROGRESS
-Launch Google Play Store and try reinstalling/updating Sky
-If it still shows up incompatible, close the App Store again and wait a little while before checking back.

@late mantle from the pins. please try these steps and see if it works

[sly ibex]

Not sure how it is on iPhone but I have a Pixel 4A 5G and it has subtle haptics/vibrations when doing a bunch of different stuff like scrolling through emotes, when you tap on your wings at the top of the screen, when an icon to light a candle come up. Not sure if my phone has the exact thing you're asking about but I googled my phone's name + haptics and a few different articles came up so I assume I have it lmao

[red quail]

Yess, thank you! This is exactly what i was looking for!

[quiet verge]

lighting my friends candle will also double it? during the upcoming event

[tame owl]

!doublehearts

[upper sail]

During a double heart event, every Heart and Partial-Heart gift you send to friends will be doubled! The double heart event starts on November 23rd at noon PST!

[quiet verge]

Partial heart gift?

[tame owl]

another name for gift of light

[quiet verge]

damn😂

anyway thanks

[stoic hamlet]

someone know how to resubscribe thatskyshop?

[unique crown]

I have samsung note 20 ultra 5G, you have to go into settings and turn on touch interaction and it will work like on the iPhone.

[red quail]

Ohh okay thank you!

[fast hearth]

sorry wrong channel

[quaint elbow]

I have the Samsung note 20 ultra also. I’m having issues with copy and paste with chat. A lot of my friends are from another country so I installed a translation keyboard. I’m unable to copy their conversation into my keyboard 😫 am I doing something wrong??

[fast hearth]

the keyboard translators are only your language -> other language

not the other way around

you can ask your friends to install a translator as well so that you can understand them, but this doesn't work if the conversation is bigger than a 1-on-1 for obvious reasons

[ivory nexus]

Hi, my friend is having an issue with their STAR pins, they're using Realme X2(Android) with NFC function toggled on(Their Android Beam is also toggled on), but nothing happened when they tap their pins on their phone,nothing at all. Does the STAR pin support this phone model?
(Sorry for my poor English)
PROBLEM SOLVED thanks anyway

[karmic mesa]

Gboard is the exception...

[fast hearth]

oh shoot right

[flat tide]

hello! any android users here who were able to purchase the pass?
can I pay for it by getting a 25$ Google play gift card?

[fast hearth]

i don't see why not

just set your payment method to that at checkout

if you don't have any cards on your account, it'll use the google play balance automatically

so yeah just remember to redeem it in the play store first

I think it's late to buy the pass tho?

[flat tide]

well I truly have to idea about this because whenever I choose 😂> if you don't have any cards on your account, it'll use the google play balance automatically
@fast hearth there's something wrong with the game I don't know if it's because my account isn't charged yet or what

[karmic mesa]

If you have been gathering the seasonal candles up till now... Buying the past will allow you to unlock all of the past related stuff up till now. You still have to gather the seasonal candles whether you have to pass or not in order to have the seasonal stuff.

Oof

[flat tide]

nothing happens when I choose ✔️

[karmic mesa]

Are you connected to a stable internet connection?

[flat tide]

If you have been gathering the seasonal candles up till now... Buying the past will allow you to unlock all of the past related stuff up till now. You still have to gather the seasonal candles whether you have to pass or not in order to have the seasonal stuff.
@karmic mesa yes I've unlocked 3 out of 4 spirits

Are you connected to a stable internet connection?
@karmic mesa yes! 😭

[karmic mesa]

Do you have Google play games fully updated

[flat tide]

yes

[karmic mesa]

Restart your phone and try again

[flat tide]

I've been trying for months 😢 I couldn't get the last season pass because I thought maybe it's because my Google play balance is 0$ that's why I figured I should give it a try

[karmic mesa]

It should still allow you to see the purchases whether or not you have money in your balance.

If you have a friend, that you trust, who can see the menu. You could have that friend purchase it for you and then gift you the pass.

[flat tide]

yeah but I don't have any 🤣 I'll have a friend I trust join the game instead 😢 thanks a lot!

last question, if I buy the pack, I only want to give one to my sister, would the 3rd one still be there for the next season?
like I'd only buy the individual one for the next season and give my sister the 2nd friend pass I buy for this season?

I hope this made sense

[karmic mesa]

The third one should remain with you and can be used on any season. Iirc

[thorn onyx]

Yep gift passes don't expire

[pastel skiff]

Sooo.... the language on my phone is arabic.... and the text in sky is all messed up. Can I do something about it?

All the text is moved to the right side and overlapse

[fast hearth]

Sky uses the device language
seems like you've found a bug with right-to-left languages
react to the most recent message in #bug-reports-android and the bot will DM you with instructions on reporting

[autumn tangle]

My friend can't Sky on her appstore, her phone is a moto g5+. Does anyone know why it doesn't work?

[slender yacht]

if that device is compatible with sky (which it seems to be), there are some suggestions pinned in #known-issues for when Sky isn't showing up in the google play store when it should be

[west rain]

linking takes awhile

[fast hearth]

connecting to wifi may help

also, make sure you've got google play games fully updated

[west rain]

Thanks

Also do you know how to sign off your Sky account?

I'd like to make a new one, but I don't see a sign off button here on android

[slender yacht]

fyi, it's against the ToS to have multiple sky accounts, and it's not recommended to have multiple accounts on the same device because it can cause a lot of account issues

[fast hearth]

i mean, there's nothing stopping you from (endgame spoilers) ||going to eden, finishing it, then sitting down in the rain at forest and forcibly losing the rest of your winged light to "start over"||

[wise loom]

Famine

[west rain]

Idk never really thought it's against ToS

I don't really read them

But thanks anyway

[fast hearth]

can you spoiler tag the ||dying|| bit since not everyone's done eden yet

For some reason when im playing with my friend and they randomly disappear and everybody else in the realm does too, how do i fix that?

[prisma iris]

sounds like your internet connection

[runic vale]

how do i put sky as status on discord?

aa

[sweet rapids]

Just go to you're profile, and click on set status, after click on set a custom status now put it as anything you'd like!

[runic vale]

no, like just when youre listening something in spotify

i tried to put it in game activity but it didnt worked

[snow basin]

its a samsung thing, in the game center you can connect it to discord to show people what youre playing! :D

[runic vale]

aa, i use motorola..

[snow basin]

yeah then i doubt itll work :'( i have a samsung galaxy and its automatically on my phone

[runic vale]

damn

game center, gonna try to check it anyway, thank you

[snow basin]

no problem!! good luck

[tired flume]

hellooo, I'm trying to download sky on a tablet android ver 10 but no luck so far.

ive tried the clearing caches and data several times but still no luck

[fast hearth]

ironing out some issues

I can't get it to install as of now

I don't think I'll be able to make a beginner friendly guide for this kind of thing even if it does work, just give some vague pointers

also since my computer has two graphics cards I'd like to figure out how to force it to use the good one instead of defaulting to the bad one

[fast hearth]

https://streamable.com/8djucv
THIS IS NOT AN EMULATOR - THIS IS RUNNING OFF OF A VERSION OF ANDROID-X86 KNOWN AS BLISS OS WITH HARDWARE BRIDGING. PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS YOURSELF UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING

(edit)
I will say though, when it asks if you want to format the system partition as read/write, SAY NO
this way your Bliss installation will not be rooted

also, as of the time of this writing, apparently support for computers with AMD Ryzen CPUs is experimental. as such, Vulkan support isn't implemented yet

the game has a stroke when I use my controller, button mappings for xbox are messed up

according to @karmic mesa the same thing happens on some phones though
I don't own a PS4 controller to test unfortunately

[karmic mesa]

Every phone I own

[fast hearth]

something in the kernel maybe

[karmic mesa]

Maybe

I haven't tried the note 20...

[fast hearth]

@feral tree it works now

kinda

[pearl jackal]

Wow which graphic card did the os used

[karmic mesa]

It used the integrated

My laptop however... Only has an integrated GPU...

[fast hearth]

it's still using integrated

I have an Intel UHD 630 and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060
I'm trying to figure out how to force it to use the Nvidia card
no dice so far

[karmic mesa]

Android has all the right stuff to recognize cuda cores too.

[fast hearth]

shoot I booted it without Vulkan this time

[karmic mesa]

[feral tree]

damn, you did it.

[karmic mesa]

Yup

It's working on my laptop too... The 2012 Intel HD 4400

XD

With performance better than the S7

[upper thicket]

Exciting

[karmic mesa]

It has a rather high version of Vulkan installed...

[feral tree]

what OS did you guys use?

i use phoenix os before

it did'nt work

is it Bliss Os like @fast hearth says?

[feral tree]

daaam, i really excited

[karmic mesa]

Yeah

[feral tree]

i always thought it was impossible to run sky on android os.

but you guys are doing some magic here

may i get the link for the Os version you used to install ?

[frozen gull]

Does anyone use external nfc reader in non-nfc android?

[wise loom]

That... Is actually a pretty big bruh moment

[wise loom]

I don't need one myself, so I haven't tested that. I don't have my pin yet either so...

[frozen gull]

I'm planning to buy some pins if anyone tried external NFC reader.

My phone doesn't NFC in it though.

That's why I ask if those pins will work with an external NFC reader. hehe.

[wise loom]

Mine is still stuck in transit apparently

[wise loom]

Hmm

[fast hearth]

Bliss OS 11.13 GMS

12 doesn't have ARM virtualization yet
I don't know about Phoenix OS since I haven't tried it
Plain old Android-x86 doesn't support 64-bit ARM, only 32-bit as of now

hello! i don´t know if this is a common issue but my android phone system language is in english but my game is in japanese. i tried to delete and download it again but it still did not change is it a bug?

Sky is supposed to use the phone's system language.

[fast hearth]

my system language is in english

file a report in #bug-reports-android then

ok!

[rotund pawn]

Uh, I've been seeing a few other questions here of the same kind, but...
I recieved my pins yesterday, and have been trying to use the STAR function for the past hour or so. NFC and Android Beam are turned on, I've tried turning it off and then reenabling when the game prompted me to, but still haven't gotten either of my pins to work.

Uh, to those who have gotten it to work, is the STAR option still in settings? Or is it supposed to be hidden once NFC is enabled on the phone?

[tame owl]

https://twitter.com/thatskyshop/status/1323700673284767745?s=21 maybe this could help?

[rotund pawn]

It took a while to figure it out.
Hopefully this helps others, but my problem was that I was trying the front of the pin since I didn't think the backside would reach the scanner. Nope, have to scan the backside of the pin.

[lavish ruin]

Hi. I really wanna know if the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite supports highest graphics on Sky?

[naive lantern]

@lavish ruin most likely it would be able to run the highest graphics but the phone may overheat quite badly (well this is a problem most phones overall have)

[wise loom]

Unless it's a gaming phone with attachments that are built to help cool the device, you should worry about making sure you can actually hold your device

Sky is heavy on the GPU

[lavish ruin]

Thanks sm for the response! I only use high def for taking pics & the lowest when I'm actually playing xD

[native zenith]

hellooo, I'm trying to download sky on a tablet android ver 10 but no luck so far.
@tired flume Have you found a solution to your problem?

[fast hearth]

My star pins don't work. I've gone through your trouble shooting list, tried other phones and while the game is running and they don't work on... Moto g6, Motorola one vision, Motorola one hyper. Both pins have no response and I used NFC at least 2 times a day without any issues.

[loud cedar]

how cna i message people like using the chat in sky/

[fast hearth]

unlock it with a friend by paying candles

[loud cedar]

oh emm how?

sry im new to the game

[fast hearth]

tap someone to open up the menu for them and use the button at the bottom to add them as a friend if you haven't already, give them a name, then use the other buttons to unlock other interactions
for instance, the first one is a high-five
unlocking chat is a bubble on the right
all of these functions cost candles to unlock with a player

anyway if you've got more questions about chat specifically, ask them in #questions-and-help
this channel is more for Android specific questions

[loud cedar]

oh ty i got it now ^^

[fast hearth]

have a good one

[eager parrot]

any recommendation on low budget android phone that can run sky ? my phone broken just now QAQ

[karmic mesa]

Well... The A20 maybe around the weakest compatible phone... It will run you around $80 on eBay.

[fast hearth]

THE LINK

[karmic mesa]

However, there is a link to an eBay page gathered by cobalt

That thing is officially trademarked

Every phone on that list will perform well in sky.

[fast hearth]

you'll have to check with https://willmyphonework.net to make sure it's compatible with your carrier

[eager parrot]

thank you guys very much !!!!! this is very helpful !!

if you want to try your luck at auctions, click the All Listings button at the top of the search results

I've seen some amazing deals come off that... But it's all about demand

OKIE! thank you guys !!! 😄

[fast hearth]

oh yeah, @karmic mesa I just bought a laptop off eBay to replace my Chromebook - instead of Bliss OS I'm gonna try a compatibility layer called Anbox that runs under Linux once I get it set up

[karmic mesa]

O.o

Good luck!

[fast hearth]

this thing actually has a touchscreen fortunately lol

I basically just looked at the specs one a laptop my friend has and went "hey that's slightly better than what I have and it doesn't have all the driver issues of me trying to force Linux on a chromebook, I'm sold"

[karmic mesa]

[molten saffron]

Hello! My friend bought realme C15 and she has a problem playing Sky. The game always crashes after the TGC logo. I wonder if it's because the issue with PowerVR gpu or--

[karmic mesa]

That is exactly why

PowerVR GPUs are very unstable at the moment. 99% of them if not all of them will crash.

Use this information to help find a different device!

Sky requires Android 8 or higher
ARM 64bit with Neon
At least 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

If you're unsure which version of opengl or vulkan your device supports, there are apps in the play store that can tell you.

Unfortunately, devices that use PowerVR GPUs are incredibly unstable RN.

Make sure the operating system is 64-bit. Sky WILL NOT run on a 32-bit operating system.

[humble copper]

Hi. How do I transfer my save file to a new android device?

[karmic mesa]

Simple! Sync your data to a Google account or Facebook account... There is a third one but I don't remember what it is... you can do this by opening the settings menu in game (The cog in the top right corner) and pressing account. It gives you the options to sign in there. On your new device, Make sure Google play games is installed and fully updated. Once in the game you will see a new save and you will have to watch the opening cut scene. Once that is over simply go to the account section again and sign in. It will then give you the option to abandon the brand new account and replace it with your old one. You will want to click abandon.

[jaunty sinew]

link ur account i guess

O

ye what they said

[karmic mesa]

[humble copper]

Thanks @karmic mesa @jaunty sinew

[karmic mesa]

[humble copper]

@karmic mesa what about if I want to start from scratch using a device where I have a previous account?
