nitro is overpriced already, you're good

[karmic mesa]

[snow pollen]

BHAHAHA

[karmic mesa]

I'm only paying $15 a month

[fast hearth]

i rest my case

[snow pollen]

G thanks. Now my money is safe away from these people

[prisma iris]

this might be better in DMs

[snow pollen]

Bless you for this good info

[fast hearth]

veering off-topic into random tech talk is just how #android-questions rolls

[snow pollen]

:0

[karmic mesa]

Yeah

[snow pollen]

I can’t tell if ur sarcastic or not

[karmic mesa]

It happens all the time

There's no sarcasm in what he just said

[snow pollen]

ohh

okay

[karmic mesa]

I think the number one rule is... If the people who need help get help, then there's no harm being done.

[prisma iris]

no it's true

[snow pollen]

That’s great

[snow pollen]

Okiieeeee

[prisma iris]

in the past, mods have encouraged taking such discussions to DMs though

[karmic mesa]

Ya probably

Girl you cry a lot

[snow pollen]

Who

[karmic mesa]

Idk

[snow pollen]

Hmm

[karmic mesa]

[snow pollen]

Hehe I completed the forest part. 100 percent

Gotta wait for Sunday for it

[karmic mesa]

Noice

[snow pollen]

yeppp

I’m dying for it

[karmic mesa]

Going to get that epic hair?

[snow pollen]

It's the Exynos 9611 😬

No matter what

I once completely closed all background apps from the settings

[karmic mesa]

Same GPU

[sleek torrent]

I had close to 2.2gb free ram

But the GPU is the bottleneck

No doubt

[karmic mesa]

That GPU scores about 1,500 in 3DMark... If your not getting 25+ FPS something is wrong

[sleek torrent]

Ah I have the geekbench ss

I got 300 smth for the CPU single core

I always had 60% ram usage at idle

I switched to lite apps and go apps

Uninstalled a ton

And have background process limited to 4 from developer options

No I always have 2 GB reserve

Sky takes around 480mb most of the time

[karmic mesa]

O.o

[sleek torrent]

Here's the CPU score

Why does it have only upto 1080p50 and not 60?😂

[karmic mesa]

It was rendered at 60...

[sleek torrent]

And now that the 888 is here

It's in second place 😂

Anyways how do the CPU scores seem?

[karmic mesa]

It will yield the same result

[sleek torrent]

Then why is the gameplay bit bad

I wish there was an option to unlock the 60fps option

I could reduce the resolution scale

And play well

[karmic mesa]

that does work... To an extent

My A20 Has the Mali-G71 MP2 scoring 900 in 3DMark... And I got 20 fps most of the time

[sleek torrent]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

A20 is a bit lower end anyways

[karmic mesa]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCjjkXdShhY&t=200s

[sleek torrent]

Well that video was definitely relateable

And also #promote-your-sky-content 😂

[karmic mesa]

XD

That's what I started on

Oh no...

[sleek torrent]

Hardcore Samsung boi?

[karmic mesa]

It's not that kind of Content

Ya

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvu77Sh4KJ4&t=163s

Here is the S7

[sleek torrent]

The s7 edge was a beautiful phone

It was actually heartwarming 😂

It could set you on

[karmic mesa]

Uhh

Yeah

It was like 80 C after that vid

[sleek torrent]

F

You know of any non placebo game boosters?

Better FPS I'm ready to sacrifice quality

It looks like a painting now but ok

[karmic mesa]

Heh...

Game booster plus...

[sleek torrent]

That's what I used to tweak it 😂

I tried 30% and max fps

But that was playable

But the messages were unreadable

Sooo 60% and max fps

[karmic mesa]

Here's what it looks like at 30%

[vale nymph]

Anyone know any good game booster that actually works for sky?

[sleek torrent]

@karmic mesa no matter what I play at, CPU usage is always under 12% and GPU usage at 85+%

I don't get why your CPU is at 41%

I wonder if something's wrong with mine

[karmic mesa]

Perf Z is wrong

It showed the same on my A20

[sleek torrent]

Mmm

[golden crater]

I feel I'd mess my entire game up with all this xd

[sleek torrent]

Which monitoring should I use then?

I don't need a log tho

Just live report

[karmic mesa]

Well... What I use is GPU watch from the developers options... it's only available on Samsung devices and from what I can tell high-end Samsung devices

[sleek torrent]

Ah I don't have it

[karmic elk]

You need a Samsung phone than.

Or your OEM supports it

[hexed fjord]

anyone tried this game on realme q2

can it do 60fps?

[tame comet]

Checking benchmarks for the Mali G57, it seems to be about 2% slower than the Mali G76 (which is proven to do 60 FPS on Sky). It might do 60 fps, but it will struggle to keep the game at 60 fps at all times.

Oh, wait, that was for the 57-MC6. The Q2 has a 57-MC3... Yeah, no 60 FPS for that phone. You might get frame skips at high quality 30 fps also

[hexed fjord]

aight

psa: never use mtk phones for sky

[karmic elk]

Snapdragon gangs

[sage nova]

S750G can update 60fps?

[tame comet]

It seems to be as powerful as the 835 which is 60 fps capable. It's so new of a processor, the database they reference might not have it, yet.

[tame comet]

That reply was an answer to if the snapdragon 750G can do 60 fps.

[hexed fjord]

oh
nvm

[civic sapphire]

New season are bug agin??

Cant doing quit

[unique fiber]

Hewo I'm going nut thinking about this... Just realized Sky gave less support to Mediatek gpu (I dug thru the convos here hh)

Like someone said, what if the phone is always locked at 30fps ;_; for a long time. Can anyone else share their experience?

Is it Samsung s21? May I ask how long has it been...staying at 30? 👀

[karmic mesa]

Idk

I guess it depends on the people who are benchmarking it

[fast hearth]

have y'all seen this
https://developer.qualcomm.com/hardware/snapdragon-888-hdk

[river grotto]

for the cheap cheap price of $1350

[fast hearth]

App name please.

[kind kayak]

that's game booster from the game plugins app.

[fast hearth]

Thank you

Do you have download link or something?

@kind kayak

[kind kayak]

I believe it's a Samsung exclusive app

[fast hearth]

I found but my game plugins dont have game booster plus.. sad

[flat adder]

Hey, I need a little help with something. Is there an issue with the game for android sometime? Because my friend has been trying to download it but it just won’t work and I was wondering if other androids have been having this issue with their App Store?

[fast hearth]

@flat adder read the second paragraph of this message

[flat adder]

Oh I’m not having any issues. It’s my friend. She downright can’t download the game. There’s always a pop up, I’m getting them to send me what it says when they try

[fast hearth]

error messages would help yes

[flat adder]

Ok she says it says the device isn’t compatible. I found the pin and sent it to her so we’re seeing if her phone is on the list

[tame comet]

If her device is compatible, I suggest trying the instructions cobalt linked. Some times phones lose their "certified" status and following those directions can help.

[bright pivot]

How to get headphones 🎧 in android

[tame comet]

Not yet implemented for Android.

[gaunt jungle]

Is there a way to sign out of my sky account so I can sign into another one?

[karmic mesa]

The only way is to completely remove the google account attached to the save from device.

[tame comet]

Keep in mind, short of a full factory reset or completely removing the Google account from that phone, you may run into issues and it would be beyond TGC support's scope to fix. In short, if you have used more than one Sky login on your device, it can cause data corruption for one of your saves. Only way to prevent that is a factory reset and starting your phone new with a different google account. (Data bits can be funky like that)

[gaunt jungle]

I figured, I managed to work it out on my ipad thanks tho!

[sleek torrent]

@faint elbow does your s6 lite give 30 fps always?

Or does it lag?

[faint elbow]

60 fps
It never lag

[sleek torrent]

Ehm

60 fps isn't even an option

In sky I mean

Only two thunderbolts

[faint elbow]

Ah well it give 30 for always

[sleek torrent]

I get terrible fps

I had to reduce the resolution to get 25 fps range

[faint elbow]

Did you clic on setting and clic on the battery thing ?

[sleek torrent]

See my FPS and temps

[faint elbow]

Clic on the 1 electronic thing on the battery thing about cality

That should be ok

[sleek torrent]

I tried all

Ironically battery saving gives me the most

[faint elbow]

You can dm me and send me some video to see

[sleek torrent]

Discord video limit 😭

[faint elbow]

You have the video option in sky

[sleek torrent]

When I put Res scale at 30%

I got 30 fps

But it looks like minecraft

😂

[faint elbow]

XD

[sleek torrent]

Exynos 9611 is pretty weak

Nothings going to help it much

[faint elbow]

Normally I don't put the option that show infos about the game like the fps number
Maybe when you add this, that is a little to much for your tablet

[sleek torrent]

No it's built it

It's very less resources eating

Maybe I'll get 1 fps or so

Extra

[faint elbow]

Mine is like this

I don't understand why your would be different of mine

[sleek torrent]

Ah mine looks good but

It isn't smooth

I'll send a normal pic

Normal pic

Previous pic was at reduced resolution scale so that I could get better FPS and less heating

[faint elbow]

You can look at setting and clean some storage too, that can maybe help

[sleek torrent]

I have 2.1 gigs of free ram most of the time

Sky uses less than 500 always

Idk ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[faint elbow]

Here

[sleek torrent]

Mine is actually lower than yours since I use lite app

Or go app

Firefox lite, Google go

Maps go

[faint elbow]

I don't have Firefox lite of Google go

I deleted some of them

Like some Microsoft app

[sleek torrent]

Yeah some bloatware comes with Samsung

Anyways nice to meet you :)

I'll go have some tea

[faint elbow]

Ok 👌

[tame comet]

It can use up to 800mb of ram depending on the area you load in.

[sleek torrent]

Mmm I see

[sleek torrent]

Oh wow

I guess your device has more ram

So it has more freedom 😂

[tame comet]

No. 4GB

[sleek torrent]

Chrome is using a lot 👁️👁️👁️

[sleek torrent]

Just an opinion but Firefox lite is pretty good for me

[tame comet]

I use both ff and chrome.

[sleek torrent]

Low usage of memory and storage

[tame comet]

FF uses quantum instead of chromium and some sites I visit don't run well on quantum.

[sleek torrent]

Upto personal preference 🙂

I don't use many sites so lite browsers get the things done

[untold sigil]

Android 11 people here? How do you feel the movement under android 11 and sky? Sometimes I get stuck joystick movement lol. I reported that three times. Any ideas?

[sleek torrent]

It kept happening to everyone once

It was patched

Does it still get stuck?

[karmic mesa]

I'm on Android 11 and that is not an issue... But I have experienced the jump soft-button not responding to holding... Making it difficult to fly.

[untold sigil]

Movement is weird since I went from 10 to 11. Also navbar bug... I hope it is fixed in future android updates

[tame comet]

On rare occurrences (2-3 times a week) it still happens to me on Jan 2021 update, A11

Movement just locks. No other movement issues though.

[agile flint]

OMG! That's a thing?!? I thought it was just me.

[karmic mesa]

It doesn't happen when using a controller

[tame comet]

I wouldn't know. Every controller I tried has too much lag for me to keep using them... Y'know my suped up potato of a phone.

[karmic mesa]

XD

My Razer controller worked well on my A20 too... Minus the fact that it's a weak phone

[agile flint]

I kept flying into walls and falling...☄️

[karmic mesa]

Yeah

[agile flint]

Sorry, I just discovered this channel. Can the jump button problem be fixed?

[karmic mesa]

Well... Idk

[tame comet]

Years of optimized rpg gaming made me very susceptible to even 100ms of lag. And that's the lag I get with my DS4 controller and XB360 wired via USB OTG. I think Google didn't care to optimize controllers for the 3a.

[karmic mesa]

Yup

I'm very sensitive to latency as well

I cannot use the dualshock 4 controller... That one has some serious input lag

[sleek torrent]

I'm so accustomed to lag and high ping that It isn't even a problem 😂

[tacit nacelle]

So uh, quick question. I used to play with an xbox controller on my old phone (Honor 8x), and that worked pretty fine.
I changed my phone three days ago for a oneplus 8t. My controller pairs fine and works in menus and other games, but sky doesn't recognize it. Any ideas why that is ?

[tacit nacelle]

update : it's a bug with android 11

[fast hearth]

Can someone help?

[tacit nacelle]

#android-questions message there you go

it's in the pinned messages ^^

[karmic elk]

If your device is compatible but google says
-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.

If really don't helps you need to contact google support since TGC can't do anything instead blaming google play system

[tame comet]

What model device do you have?

[river grotto]

hmm... can Sky run on a chromebook?

[fast hearth]

not a chance.

besides most chromebook hardware being annoyingly underpowered, most chromebooks don't have a 64-bit ARM architecture in the first place

[river grotto]

any chromebooks that do don't use it

but chromebooks come with an emuation layer so that they can run the more prevalent arm apps instead of requiring the host architecture

but alas

[fast hearth]

it's been a while since i stopped using my chromebook but if memory serves that's only 32-bit ARM though, yeah?

[river grotto]

I have two x86-64 chromebooks

they both run Android apps

ARM or not

Just not Sky ><

[fast hearth]

yeah it's only 32-bit ARM

you can install AIDA64 off the Play Store to double check, but

[river grotto]

oh okay

[tame comet]

x86-64 layering is pretty bad. You will have half the performance running a true 64 bit instruction on a 32 bit CPU.

Since it'd be processing it as 32x2

[river grotto]

well

now I have Android apps installed

yay?

[storm forge]

Hello ... How can I fix in some device's that it This version is not compatible with your device?

[tame comet]

What device do you have?

[desert spruce]

if you have a relatively new phone from China, then you won't be able to :(
It could also be because your phone is not powerful enough.
It could be a glitch in google play. You could try deleting Google play store data and it could work.

[storm forge]

I'll try that thanks

[karmic elk]

He said china means Huawei device

After Us Ban

Not all new china phones are banned

[desert spruce]

huawei, oppo, xiaomi, etc.

[karmic elk]

Only huawei on entity list so there's no such compatibility issues to other OEM

[desert spruce]

i had a oppo and a xiaomi device that didnt work with sky, even when they are high end phones

[karmic elk]

My phone runs sky without any issues

What the

My phone is Oppo A92

[desert spruce]

yes i depends which model version it is

[karmic elk]

Is same company

[desert spruce]

yes it is

but I think there is a chinese version and other version

some phones

[karmic elk]

Yes

Just don't buy China version China phones

[desert spruce]

yes

[karmic elk]

Buy your local version

[desert spruce]

unless if you are in china

[tame comet]

Some models are build with a 32 bit kernel and OS also, even high end models, if the company wants to cut development costs... It takes about 1/3 the time to build Android as 32 bit instead of 64 bit (roughly 20-30mins instead of 60-90mins depending on build box hardware)

[desert spruce]

???

[karmic elk]

So check properly before buy a new phone

[tame comet]

1/3 the time does add up, especially when your building 5-10 different revisions of the OS for debugging so you don't release a phone that is a buggy mess.

[karmic elk]

So arm64 can have 32bit kernel or Os?

[karmic mesa]

Mhm

Lol

[tame comet]

.>

[karmic elk]

Did you type something

Skybot looking sus

[tame comet]

I probably said something totally innocent that skybot just didn't like.

Let's try that again. When you're building a Linux Kernel or OS, there is a build flag to target 32 bit or 64 bit in the defconfig file. 64 bit processors can run 32 bit code... Just like 32 bit processors can run 16 bit code. You can always go down, not up.

[karmic elk]

I see

[tame comet]

You're just handicapping your processor by restricting it to lower end codewords.

[karmic elk]

Developer lazy or rushing new patches

[tame comet]

Less labor time. Less development time. If you have to fix bad code, it's better to have the fixed test build take 20 mins instead of 60mins.

Android 11+ is 64 bit only, so future devices with this OS or higher will no longer be able to be 32 bit, finally.

[karmic mesa]

YES

But... If the Galaxy A11 is set to get Android 11... Does that mean it's gonna go from 32-bit to 64-bit in an update???

[tame comet]

I think the only exception is if your device released with an earlier version of Android or it's a wear/TV device.

[karmic elk]

Is your phone arm64

[karmic mesa]

Mine?

[karmic elk]

Yeah

[karmic mesa]

Yeah of course

I have the S20

XD

[tame comet]

cough aarch64 cough

[karmic mesa]

Yeah

[karmic elk]

I mean your A11

[karmic mesa]

That's the name for it

I don't have an A11

But I do have an A20

[karmic elk]

A11 finally can play Sky

But of course, performance

[tame comet]

Sadly, an update to go from 32 to 64 bit would require a factory reset. Don't count on a current 32 bit phone to get an update to 64 bit.

[karmic elk]

But arm64 on 32bit os and updates to 64bit os

[karmic mesa]

The Kernel change would wipe the system

[karmic elk]

Do a backup and nothing changed

[tame comet]

Certain system bits saved in /data would cause apps to close going from 32 to 64 bit.

[fast hearth]

Guys sorry my bad english language
( when im playing sky i saw blue lights and my phone brightnes down with lag ) someone know that?

I'm not sure what you mean, unfortunately

[static wedge]

Hello please anyone tell me what happen and how to fix this ?

i already tried uninstall the game reset data restart my phone but still the same 😭😭😭😭

btw i use Samsung A30 , Android 10 so i don't think my phone is the problem here 😭😭😭💔💔

been like this for a whole day now :'D

[desert spruce]

have you waited?

are you running power intensive processes in the background?

[tame comet]

The Send feedback option should send a crashlytics log file to TGC.

[unique fiber]

hhh my good people, I've ordered Realme X7 pro for my phone... I hope everything go well 😳

[static wedge]

Whole day from around 5pm till now it's 2am here

[desert spruce]

what i meant was have you pressed wait?

[static wedge]

I did it thrice but it's still the same

[desert spruce]

wait have you tried closing down unnecessarily background processes?

[tame comet]

It won't immediately fix the issue, but TGC can parse the log and see if it's something on their end they can fix.

[desert spruce]

try not to run anything else when playing sky

[static wedge]

And yepp i did wait for some minutes but it's still stuck at like 90% load

[desert spruce]

ok maybe try the other steps that I have suggested?

[static wedge]

Yeppp i even reset sky data , uninstall the game , restart my phone , install it back and open straight after i done download it

[tame comet]

I would check the play store and see if any other apps updated in the last day. It could be a conflicting app. In play store, tap 3 line menu, tap my apps & games, check recently updated.

[static wedge]

Ah..so I'm gonna waste a whole farming day ig hopefully it'll be fix soon before next reset

[desert spruce]

ok but what i meant was dont open anything else when playing sky, or maybe just close down background processes using some sort of phone manager

[static wedge]

I did i just restart my phone and open sky straight away but still nothing happen sadly and no i didn't use any device assistance

[tame comet]

Some apps run at start up

[desert spruce]

yes

[desert spruce]

just try to disable some background processes

it will prevent them from running

otherwise, it could be an issue with your hardware and drivers

have you updated your phone?

[static wedge]

okie wait

[static wedge]

Yeppp just updated 2 days ago

[vagrant acorn]

Check updates of Play Game and Game launcher, as well.

For your Samsung A30.

[static wedge]

😪😪😪

[static wedge]

Everything is updated already :((

[vagrant acorn]

:((

RAM /Memory has enough space? Wi fi or Internet conection is correct and working fine?

[tardy flint]

Just when are that game company add the headset for android players

[tame comet]

As soon as Android has a better implementation of an app checking to see if other apps are playing audio. Currently, there isn't a good implementation in all versions of Android to release it and it work reliably.

[tardy flint]

Oh ok

[tame comet]

Android fragmentation is pretty bad. Google has been working to remedy this, but OEMs still aren't following the rules. Essentially, you should be able to flash just a system image (Like Lineage, AOSP, Dirty Unicorns, etc) and it work out of the box, but sadly, due to OEMs not following Treble correctly, defragmentation attempts by Google still don't work that well, yet. (Manufacturer differences to their phones should be in /oem and /vendor, but Major offenders still put device specific changes in /system making fragmentation still a thing) Major offenders to this are Samsung, Sony, and Xiaomi. (Huawei was an offender also with EMUI issues with Treble, but they're no longer a CTS device OEM due to other reasons.)

[karmic mesa]

Ya

[somber oar]

Is sky compatible with miui? It's Android as well but it doesn't show up on playstore

[tame comet]

It is compatible. Depends on your device. What phone/tablet is it?

[jagged anvil]

i cant use some buttons on my xbox controller in sky, specifically the dpad and triggers dont do anything, i have a Xbox Series X controller, i can use the dpad outside of sky, i would assume triggers would work fine as well outside of the game, is it just a bug or is there anyway i can fix it from my end

[tame comet]

I don't think those buttons are bound to any actions in Sky. My 360 controller didn't have those buttons bound

[jagged anvil]

i mean... https://thatgamecompany.helpshift.com/a/sky-children-of-the-light/?s=controls-navigation&f=can-i-use-a-controller-to-play-sky&l=en i think its supposed to

then again, this article could just be outdated for all i know

[tame comet]

Huh. Might need to TS my own controller. It's old and isn't used for anything else.

[jagged anvil]

ts?

[somber oar]

It's a redmi y2 but I'm getting a new phone so I'm wondering if it'll be compatible on a newer model

[tame comet]

That's pretty low end. That's probably why it won't show up. Adreno 506 would struggle a bit. Newer Redmi's should work.

Stay away from Moto E or play series or the Samsung J series phones the A10 and some older A series tablets if you're looking to upgrade. Those all have 32 bit systems that I know of.

[somber oar]

I'll keep that in mind Thank you!

Why aren't the stickers working

[tame comet]

It's a discord bug. Custom emojis can't be on second line or lower

[somber oar]

Ooh okay

[tame comet]

Only first line

[wanton sand]

Why can't I download the game even if I have android 9?

[fast hearth]

@wanton sand have you checked if your phone is compatible?

[quaint vapor]

Hey I plan to get galaxy m21 with exynos 9611 chip will sky work or not?

[tame comet]

https://browser.geekbench.com/android_devices/samsung-galaxy-m21 seems it lacks Vulkan, so most likely not.

Unless it's a leaked benchmark and they haven't tested Vulkan

[livid stag]

Oof gaming without vulkan on an arm system has to hurt

Like ouch

does arm support OpenGL? I forget

[quaint vapor]

TT

[karmic elk]

OpenGL is always support on all phones

If your phone doesn't have OpenGL why there's animation on your phone

It's because OpenGL is a basic rendering API

[dapper fossil]

Will we have pets?

[worn sigil]

as far as I know, there are no such plans so far for pets but you're always welcome to put that in #wishlist-and-ideas-archived

I doubt it, cuz TGC said they can't add it (iirc, I could be wrong but I did read somewhere about it)

[worn sigil]

On a side note this channel is mostly for android specific questions since the active users here are more knowledgeable about androids, their softwares hardwares etc, more general questions are better sent in #questions-and-help

What phone is it? Some don't have proper support like Vulkan or a 32 bit system instead of 64 bit.

[wanton sand]

It's a Ulefone note 7p

[tiny dragon]

Will it ever be possible for andriud users to use ingame headphones

[wanton sand]

What?

[tame comet]

SD 660 can barely get 30 fps. The Helio A22 is in your phone. If a device that benches a graphics test 300% higher can barely handle the game... That's why your phone isn't compatible.

[wanton sand]

Oh, ok thanks

Really sad tho

Imma wait the versione for pc

[tame comet]

I would assume a GTX970 min would be required and a decent 4c 8t cpu as well if it ever does come out for PC. Any older graphics card wouldn't have Vulkan support.

[wanton sand]

Ok

[fast hearth]

someone know good game booster please?

...

[next yoke]

Using boosters is against tos I think? ah nvm disregard

[fast hearth]

nope

they mean like in terms of performance increases for the phone itself

newer, high-end Samsung phones have a game booster built in, as do a lot of OnePlus devices, try looking for one from your device manufacturer specifically. if you don't, well...

do NOT do this unless you remember to reset everything back to normal when you're done, but if your CPU is the reason your phone is struggling you can open up developer options in your Settings app and enable "do not keep activities" and disable "background processes" to try and stop your phone from running other stuff while Sky is open

[fast hearth]

@fast hearth can you check your dm please

I'd rather not give support in DMs

v:

[fast hearth]

can i add my apple id and stuff into my android so i can have all my data from sky 💀

[digital finch]

I dont think so since with android to login you need to download the game with the google account you have your store in (atleast I do) to login to that account

[fast hearth]

you can sign in to both, yes @fast hearth

sigh

now i need to save up 150 dollars to get it fix

[odd vine]

if i delete my data off of google play will lose my role as a beta tester?

[tame comet]

No, you have to manually opt out. The opt in process is saved to your account.

[odd vine]

ooohh ok so im safe, yes?

ok thank you!!

[tame comet]

The technical thing that happens is local data and cache are wiped. Account settings, opt-in process, etc is saved on Google's servers which doesn't get wiped when you clear Google data on your device.

[warped solstice]

For reporting a bug, where do I go to find out what type of android? Is it talking about version, or like what software update?

[odd hill]

Iirc you'll only need the Android version when reporting bugs

[warped solstice]

? I don't get what you mean tho. I'm trying to reports bug but I'm having a had time finding it.

OH I found it!

[strange shoal]

Does anyone know why the screen recording tool is different in android than iOS? Is the reason it's not implemented similar to why external music doesn't stop the bgm?

[tame comet]

Android's permissions system is different for record_screen, so yes, similar... Just slightly different.

[maiden trout]

Mmm hi.. why Sky didn't support on Redmi MIUI12 version? I used to play Sky Beta and Live version before, but after big update of my phone. I can't play it anymore. It's not even available in my play store 🥺😭

[upper thicket]

@maiden trout try the steps in the second half of this message^

[maiden trout]

Oh it works.. thanks! 🥺❤️ But I have to wait again for the Beta invites, I uninstalled the game before because I can't update it. Thank u so much 🥺❤️

[hollow ridge]

Can i see the price of the next spirit 👀✨

[boreal tapir]

There is none until the offical price costs are out when they arrive. Any other price list you see are either estimations or from the Chinese server which can differ from ours.

[desert spruce]

the estimations are sometimes quite close

[upper thicket]

To complete a spirit usually having around 100-120 candles is a good bet. Plus around 15 hearts or so (and at least 2 ascended candles)

[boreal tapir]

"Sometimes." Yes, they sometimes are but they're not always accurate nor are they the official prices. Sharing them can lead to misinformation and that's something we don't need right now.

[desert spruce]

we can estimate that the piano would be very expensive :(

[boreal tapir]

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be that way.

Although, my apologies I can't give you an exact answer but I suppose it is what it is. You could ask outside of the server but just note you could be misinformed as the costs may differ when the TS arrives.

[ashen rain]

How do we check the acct if it is there?

[lost coral]

Like when you trying to reinstall the game, the account will automatically connected to the game

[upper sail]

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

[misty compass]

@upper sail where can I discuss this?

[desert spruce]

@upper sail is a bot and cannot reply to your question like that

try discussing in private group dms or something, but just don't use that software to play sky

[misty compass]

I literally wrote a long question. Long story short, I have a medical condition and the Dr. advised me to limit my time on the phone daily. Lately playing sky for 2-3 hours daily plus all other phone stuff caused me some health issues, and hence I bought up the topic.

[desert spruce]

oh

i dont onow them

[misty compass]

Not sure where to talk about it, and do not want to violate any rules here.

[desert spruce]

then

[misty compass]

I also immediately deleted the question since the bot flagged it.

[karmic elk]

Sky from internet sources is not allowed or discuss

And emulators

[upper sail]

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

[karmic elk]

yeah

[tame comet]

Where'd the message go?

[karmic mesa]

[hallow grove]

You should also limit your time on PC if you're asked to limit your time on the phone.

Besides, using devices other than phone and iPad to play Sky is not allowed. The Terms of Service state that such behavior would cause an account ban if found.

In all honesty, if a medical condition requires you to limit your time on phone, you should probably not play any games on phone at all

[prisma iris]

Do you have a question about android?

[turbid flint]

Sorry

[molten surge]

Oh....

[hallow grove]

Do you have a question about android?

[stone linden]

how do i unlink my account in android?

im pressing it but it won't work

help?

[hallow grove]

Sorry @stone linden need some time to check this up...

[tender magnet]

Players cannot unlink their accs by themselves, you would have to contact support. Tho someone has said that they contacted support and support wasn't able to unlink, so it's not guaranteed to be possible even with support. Worth a try tho

[hallow grove]

... yep, what Salt said basically

[stone linden]

ok thanks

so how do i contact support?

can i use my recovery code instead?

[hallow grove]

!support

[upper sail]

You can contact TGC Support via the menu in-game by clicking the cog icon ⚙️ in the top right corner of your screen, then clicking Support > Contact Us.
If you’re unable to access your game, you can contact Support by using the link below:
http://bit.ly/skygamecs

[tender magnet]

Pspsps even recovery code can only be used with support

[stone linden]

yeah i know but can i still use that to get my account back?

im moving from ios to android and im wondering if that works

[tender magnet]

Easy way would just to log in to the same google or facebook or whatever acc you linked it to on both devices

[hallow grove]

if you linked your account to Google/Facebook you should be able to switch from iOS to Android easily

[stone linden]

i did link it to google though

[hallow grove]

Use the same Google account you used to log into iOS Sky
Go to your Android phone and log into Sky using the same Google account
The progress will transfer

[stone linden]

oh ok

imma try that

[hallow grove]

In fact, you can log into both devices using the same Google account, the progress will sync seamlessly

[stone linden]

wait so i need to log into google play using the account i used in ios?

[hallow grove]

yep

[stone linden]

and then i press "sign in" in sky?

[hallow grove]

If you have multiple Google account, you can log into both accounts on your Android device. When you install Sky on Android and upon your first login, you will be prompted to choose the account you want to use.

[stone linden]

oh i see why it isn't working now, i pressed the wrong account

[hallow grove]

Welcome back to Sky... and welcome to the world of Android

[karmic mesa]

[stone linden]

it still isn't working , even though i used the account in google play it's still the old one

[hallow grove]

1. Make sure you are signed into a Gmail account on your iOS device, whichever was linked to your Sky profile. If you are not signed in, you wont see your progress.

2. If you are already signed in, try visiting the Account menu to see if you just need to restore your progress. There should be an option to abandon the new account and replace it with the original.

3. If none of these options work, please Contact TGC as soon as possible. A customer support agent will review your case and see what they can do to help.

[karmic mesa]

That

Welcome Spark! Thanks for joining the few of us who actually try to help people here!

[stone linden]

im just gonna contact support, thank you so much for helping though!

[ripe marsh]

A week ago samsung c9 had around 20 or 19 fps now it's fps dropped and constlation keeps refreshing and ice has weird heart texture bug

[edgy crag]

we all try to help people, and this isn't a private club

[karmic mesa]

Lol

[hallow grove]

Report any bugs you see at #report-a-live-bug
Constellation bug seems to be affecting some of the devices out there

[static ridge]

the constellation refreshes when you have facebook connected to your account and the serendipity matchmaking enabled.

it's so you don't get paired with a potential new friend who is offline.

[tame comet]

I'm surprised a Snapdragon 653 can run Sky. My 670 has some issues trying to go above 40 fps which is why 60 was locked out from it.

[stone linden]

so how long does support replies usually take?

[karmic mesa]

That's actually the first device I've ever seen that actually has an adreno 510

[tame comet]

Last info on SLA (response time) is 5 business days per #known-issues

[stone linden]

ah i see, thanks

[ripe marsh]

So if i unlink facebook it will stop refreshing??

[karmic mesa]

I'd assume that's the case.

[kind kayak]

yes, if you unlink facebook it will go back to normal

i just did that 2 weeks ago

[karmic mesa]

Lol

Mine is still synced

[stone linden]

GUYS

I GOT MY ACCOUNT BACK

[thorny flax]

Hi everyone, will there be an update today? Because today will come traveling spirit

[tame comet]

Usually TS don't need updates.

[karmic elk]

Only events need updates

*Days of feast, fortune and love.

[misty compass]

Thanks

I wasn't here to argue on the TOS.. I just asked if it's allowed or not, and got the response back from the community. No one is breaking any rules or intended to do so. And I wasn't asking for medical advise either, that's what doctors are for

[buoyant turret]

Hello.. Is it me or a different TS arrived?

[buoyant quest]

It’s a bug, everyone got it. So grab it if you haven’t gotten all

Free wing

[topaz reef]

it seems to be occurring for all of us ^^ I'm sure TGC is aware of it and working on a resolution

[sleek onyx]

The spirit of the gospel is different from the information. What's going on?

[sinful tinsel]

will they change it?

[sharp crest]

Probably a server bug.

[limpid lion]

im confused

but i grab it anyways

[sleek onyx]

Really?

[buoyant quest]

Just grab it first. If they change it then you lose out.

[sinful tinsel]

Already on it 🦀

[sharp crest]

But beta somehow got the right TS

[lilac breach]

I grab all the emote
Will TGC take back the items we exchanged back?

[sacred talon]

what is going on

This seems like the kind of thing that game companies give out apologems (apolocandles?) for

[covert inlet]

→ ( ･᷄ὢ･᷅)

[sacred talon]

I think tgc is in the process of apprehending Kreb Walker. I have a server error without the "check your internet connection" part.

[white gate]

Same @sacred talon i kennat purchasde

Wanna grab the wing buff huhu

[sacred talon]

i already did luckily

[white gate]

Will they return the supposed TS?

[sacred talon]

yea i think so

[white gate]

Moments liek this makes me cri

No compensation HAHAHA

[sacred talon]

Come on TGC give us apolocandles.

[white gate]

Gonna hex the Devs using my moms scented candles

Oww they switched it back

[sacred moth]

Hello, I want to ask why the phone LG K30 is not compatible to download the game

[hallow grove]

Android 7.1?

What devices are compatible to run Sky?
#android-questions message

[broken island]

Uhm i still have the cosmetics i buy from the krab walk ts am i gonna be banned?

[sacred moth]

@hallow grove the android my friend have is Android 10.0.0

[main rivet]

Am i lost into another server or

I get the creb emote

Like seriously-

And + i'm not hacking, i'm just get online and get relive the spirit

Can someone halp-

[nova berry]

I was saving candles and hearts calculatovely and then they do this...😡😡😡😡😡. I had 106 or 111 candles and 15n hearts which was enough to buy all from the spirit and one hour later they correct the error

[fast hearth]

How about Players who accidentaly unlocked and had stuff from wrong traveling spirit (crab one) is they get banned or get their stuff back

[trim breach]

Is it okay to use game plugins? It does not violate any TOS?

[hallow grove]

What game plugin? The one from Samsung?

[trim breach]

Yes

Game launcher

[hallow grove]

The device may still be incompatible due to other issues, such as lack of Vulkan support...

If I'm being correct that your friend is using this device, it's probably due to weak CPU or insufficient storage space. In any case, even if it's listed as compatible, the gaming experience would probably not be smooth.

https://www.gsmarena.com/lg_k30_(2019)-9827.php

@trim breach I think using that tool, which is used to modify screen resolution, manage device heat, and manage memory in the background, shouldn't violate the TOS.

[trim breach]

Thank you!

[royal sparrow]

hello! I'm very new to sky here, why does the game look kinda blurry even in the highest graphics?

[hallow grove]

What device do you use?

[royal sparrow]

note 8

glaxy

pff glaxy, I mean galaxy

[hallow grove]

🤔 the game should work correctly.
Check the settings in Game Launcher

Or game plugin... they've renamed that tool a while ago
(I don't really like the new name...)

[royal sparrow]

ohh u mean the game performance thing??

I have it on high

[hallow grove]

How blurry... is it possible to post a screenshot here?

[royal sparrow]

hmm how could I say it

it looks pixelated if u look at it closely

I'll take an as rn

[hallow grove]

The graphic of this game is not exactly the most beautiful

[tame comet]

Do you by chance know if it is an Exynos model? The 8895 wasn't Samsung's best CPU. If the phone is a Canada or US model, the Snapdragon 835 should handle the game quite well.

[royal sparrow]

oh cause I've seen other screenshots and recordings and they look smoother than mine

how do I check the specs of the phone

[tame comet]

Can you go to settings - about phone and get the model? That would let me know which chip it is.

Should be N950U, N950U1 or N950W for US or canada

All other models are exynos

[hallow grove]

Exynos CPU 🤔

[tame comet]

Yeah, it's an Exynos. It will run, but it won't look good. The game turned down internal res to improve performance.

[royal sparrow]

awie

any way to fix it or its just gonna stay as it is??

[hallow grove]

in that case it's unlikely there will be a fix

[royal sparrow]

I see

[tame comet]

With that phone? You might be able to force a higher resolution with Samsung game booster, but your frame rate will suffer.

Like 10-15fps suffer

[royal sparrow]

[hallow grove]

Just so you know, the in-game screenshot tool gives better quality pic than normal gameplay
So you might still be able to take good screenshots

[royal sparrow]

thank u

[hallow grove]

You're welcome
and welcome to the world of Sky

[royal sparrow]

[keen sail]

Hey can i have a recommendation of an Android phone that can play sky in high resolution without lag

[tame comet]

Any flagship snapdragon in the last few years or new Exynos in the last year. Don't know if the Exynos in last year will be a smooth at 60 fps, but should.

[uneven igloo]

when will the game be FULLY playable with controller only?

cuz I can't play without needing to use touch sometimes

[fast hearth]

My exynos phone still

[uneven igloo]

buy Qualcomm one

[fast hearth]

215 ?

[stoic beacon]

is this normal? My internet connection is good

[slender yacht]

a few other people have reported similar problems, it might be an issue occurring right now although it would never hurt to restart your game/device

[ancient mortar]

i cant relive the crying emote spirit whats going on?

[tame comet]

For the daily or normally? Daily is shiver today. (First spirit after the door exiting forest clearing)

[fast hearth]

OMG ITS BEEN DOING THE SAME FOR ME

My friend has an android so I’m posting for her because Shes busy rn,
She’s tried reporting but heard no response, her phone crashes when she enters valley and it also crashes when entering the area of the daily quests so she can’t take part in the event :((
Does anyone have any advice? She did prophecy fine without an issue so I don’t know why it’s started now and she’s tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it again

[uneven juniper]

If she reported in our bug report channels, those are for reporting only and not support Hopefully other android players here have tips that can help! But she can always reach out to TGC either by DMing @compact basalt or contacting support in-game

[wintry belfry]

I'm looking for a new phone to play sky on, with good graphics, any recommendations?

[tame comet]

It sounds like maybe a newly installed or updated app could be running in the background and hogging ram. If the app is closing in certain, high memory places, that could indicate an oom (out of memory) issue. I would double check any recent updates or new apps, like a new launcher. Those use up quite a bit of ram and always run in the background.

[tame comet]

Any newer model phone in the last year that isn't a "low end" device. I.E. mid range phones or higher ($300+). If you're looking for a lower price range, higher end phones that are refurbished or gently used might be a good option. An example is the older Pixel 2 or 2 XL that you can get from places like Swappa for $95-120. Those are about 2-3 year old but they were top of the line back then and would run the game fine.

[wintry belfry]

thank you so much

[snow iris]

Hello all, hope you are having a good day so far. Uh so I get this notification from sky occasionally like this. I'm just wondering what "A friend" means. Does it imply that a friend I blocked saw my message and liked it? I just want to know :"D

[karmic mesa]

That's... A good question

Have you asked in #questions-and-help

[tame comet]

A friend iirc is a random skykid you haven't friended yet.

We're all friends in sky.

[karmic mesa]

Oh that makes sense XD

[boreal tapir]

You sent the same image to two other channels, is there something you need?

[shadow aurora]

does anyone know why sky looks so blurry on android even on max quality?
i have a pretty good phone so

[willow junco]

Android lacks optimization since the game was added on androids less than a year ago. It will take time to optimize game for every model and manufacturer
I hope that is the answer

[tired iris]

Hi guys

😭 i need help

I switched from iOs to Android for my games, and i got my sky account already but the in app purchase isn’t available

[willow junco]

Im not sure what to do but i would recommend contacting customer service, or asking at @compact basalt

[fathom drift]

There is a restore purchase option which you can try. If not, checking with customer service would be good.

[uneven rose]

!reset

[upper sail]

The Eye of Eden resets once per week.
Next reset is on Sunday February 07 at 00:00 PST (In 1 day 19 hours 40 minutes 18 seconds)
Did you know you can use the !edenreset or !er command in my DMs? Shorter cooldown there too.

[uneven rose]

Will the ts be there when Eden statues reset or does the ts go when Eden resets

[boreal tapir]

The TS leaves after Eden's reset, departing when Monday reset happens. ||You still have time to grab your ac|| and a few things from them.

[uneven rose]

But alas my ascended candles I have right now are around 1.75

[boreal tapir]

Also, do spoiler tag ||statues||

[pallid wraith]

Please spoiler tag ||statues||! And perhaps ask in #questions-and-help or #eden-spoilers since this is for android/phone related questions

[thorny ivy]

Is it possible to change my google account without losing all my progress? Ive just recently changed my google account and i dont want to use the one i made from when i was a kid ;-;

[fast hearth]

you'd have to talk to customer support

(the answer will probably be no)

[thorny ivy]

Bruh -_-

so im stuck with this until the day i die huh ;-;

[thorny ivy]

Ill try customer support maybe, if they dont reply then ill just pass

[fast hearth]

do i have to go through this every morning?

[prime oasis]

/eh- not just you could be a regional thing

[fast hearth]

😭

[last dust]

So I keep crashing in Wasteland where the krill and manta are, and then the entrance of Vault- How do I resolve this?

[desert spruce]

game crashes usually happen when your phone overheats or is running out of memory (not storage). Maybe try cleaning up any background processes. Does this happen in other power intensive places, like Sanctuary Islands?

[fast hearth]

hi! does anyone know how to unlink my google account to replace it? It seems like i could only sign in or sign out and cant click the unlink button :((

[upper thicket]

@fast hearth unfortunately we can't do that manually, you have to go through support for that and explain why you want to do that

[fast hearth]

thank you! will reach out to them now ❤️

[turbid topaz]

anyone know a list of androids that are able to run sky? i’m confused about the oreo and higher since there’s no real list lol

[wet dew]

I have ( Xiaomi 9i ) but i can't play Sky because incompatibility issue why ??

[fast hearth]

guys i have note 8 its so laggy why? some note8 user here?

[prisma iris]

There’s no list simply because there’s too many devices to list

Bug reports on the note 8 don’t appear to list lag issues, but definitely fill out a bug report yourself in case it’s a new/underreported issue

It could also be your internet connection

[karmic mesa]

@fast hearth is it the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 or the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8? Cuz that makes a difference.

[fast hearth]

galaxy note 8

@karmic mesa

[karmic mesa]

Do you know if it's the Exynos or the Snapdragon variant?

[fast hearth]

no sorry :(

what is that?

ahh let me check

[karmic mesa]

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

That app can help you find out

[fast hearth]

sure <3

i buy this phone today but still lagging i dont understand..

[karmic mesa]

Once you have the app, you'll want to go to the CPU tab and look at the SoC Model

[fast hearth]

it says exynos

exynos 9 octa

[karmic mesa]

Okay... Of the two variations of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 the Exynos variant is weaker than the Snapdragon one.

[fast hearth]

oh

sure

[karmic mesa]

There's the two CPUs under chipset

But the main dealing for sky is the GPU which you'll see at the bottom

The Mali-G71 MP20

Should be the GPU in your phone

You can double check that by going to the display tab in AIDA and find GPU renderer

[karmic mesa]

Ya

It's just not telling you the second part

[fast hearth]

so i have no chance play without lag?

[karmic mesa]

So here's some tips to improve performance. That phone should be more than powerful enough to run at 30fps. Make sure the battery is above 50% or at full. Ensure that there are no background apps open like Facebook or Twitter. Surprisingly the McDonald's app and the Walmart app runs in the background a lot. if you'd like to know a method of forcing apps to stay closed I can tell you that.

[fast hearth]

sure

thank you so much sir

[karmic mesa]

#android-questions message

[fast hearth]

what

is that this channel link

[karmic mesa]

Yes

That is a link to a particular post that I made last year

[fast hearth]

i need to stop this apps?

[karmic mesa]

Not every background app consumes a lot of system resources. and the two settings will only prevent non-essential background apps from running

Some background apps are required for Android to function and those apps stay open

[fast hearth]

sure

[tame comet]

Launchers do usually though. Their footprint is roughly 100-300mb

[fast hearth]

can you choose please

[karmic mesa]

No no... There's no need to manually close them

Some of them will just reopen automatically

Every one of the ones in that list look like default processes anyway

[fast hearth]

sure

how about this.

?

[karmic mesa]

That actually won't help sky

[fast hearth]

okey this settings?

[karmic mesa]

Yes

[fast hearth]

sure

[karmic mesa]

And you can turn them off when you're done

Because they will prevent notifications...

[fast hearth]

ahh

okey i understand now

if im gonna play on this settings when im done off right?

[karmic mesa]

Ya

[fast hearth]

thank you so much <3

[karmic mesa]

Let me know if it actually helps with performance

[fast hearth]

sure

[karmic mesa]

Beware of overheating! That can reduce performance dramatically

[fast hearth]

this?

[karmic mesa]

The high performance mode may help the game run better with the expense of thermal and battery

And the resolution doesn't really matter all too much because you won't notice it in game. Sky automatically scales the graphics down so even 720P won't be reducing the load any

[fast hearth]

sure

oh and

my phone dont have game launcher why ;-;;;

[karmic mesa]

Search for game launcher in the settings

[fast hearth]

:(

[rustic merlin]

does someone know a good translation app that be Incorporated to the keyboard ?

last one question pls?

haha

[karmic mesa]

[fast hearth]

another phone have this

button in game

but i dont have

why

:(

[karmic mesa]

Are you talking about game tools?

Try to search your settings for it

[fast hearth]

yes

no way

[karmic mesa]

[fast hearth]

okey my phone is really bad

i understand now

[karmic mesa]

Maybe the older note series Android phones don't come with it pre-installed...

The phone isn't bad

Previously the note series phones were built more for work use and less for gaming. Hence the more square design and the stylus

The S series smartphones were built for gaming and media consumption which is why they have a more friendly round look to them

They kind of broke this trend with the 20 series making both the s20 and note 20 nearly identical except for shape

[fast hearth]

sure

so i dont need game launcher now.

?

can i uninstall?

[karmic mesa]

Ya

[fast hearth]

sure

[fickle tide]

Hey, seems like my Sky and discord are combined. I opened discord through Sky and whenever I'm getting back to Sky by exiting from discord it's not working. I'm trying to open Sky but Discord is getting opened. Any clue about this anyone?

[karmic mesa]

That's... Weird

I have never encountered that before... On any application

[fast hearth]

@fickle tide whats ur phone?

[upper sail]

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

[last dust]

Actually no! Only in those areas I mentioned ||also that other area in vault, but not the office||

[fickle tide]

Mi Note Pro 7

[unreal tinsel]

Where did this headphone come from

[vernal compass]

!beatsbyelder

[upper sail]

The headphones appear on your character when you play music or audio in another app while playing Sky. You can use them any time by putting on some tunes! (iOS only, until it's implemented for android)

[tame comet]

I am sure that is on the list of things to do but it is low priority since there is a solution to record on Android. They have other higher priority projects to implement.

[fleet plume]

How can I get sky on my android device if there’s no download button-?

[fast hearth]

???

[pallid wraith]

Is your device compatible? You can check the pins to see a list of minimum requirements for your phone to be able to play sky

[fleet plume]

Oh I understand now, thank you

[karmic elk]

Yes. Google play games recorder

Even on chinese sky have bulit in recorder

But the feature is same. You can't record internal sound.

And you can't record videos without UI . *Still don't know why iOS have that feature

[tame comet]

It's the way iOS handles recording requests compared to Android. Android will only allow the screen to be recorded and not allow removal of layers of processed graphics. The UI is one layer and it is simple to remove it, but Android is an interesting "sandbox." You can tell the renderer to do this or that but on recording, you can't separate the layers, only get the whole screen.

[trim breach]

Hi, playing sky in larger monitors with the help of samsung DEX is not against the TOS right? So, my account is safe from getting suspended or banned?

[fast hearth]

Yes, It's safe

[trim breach]

thank you

[covert sluice]

@subtle pagoda oh my gosh sorry for ping but i think this is the command you wanted for right? soz for pinging again

[subtle pagoda]

and no worries

thanks for the info btw :D

[fast hearth]

Please tell me your policy for getting a refund

[pallid wraith]

I think you'd need to contact google since they're the ones handling the transactions, not tgc
I've had to ask for a refund before and it worked just fine! Although it does need to be within 48 hours from that purchase iirc and you need to have good reason to ask for a refund cuz there is a possibility of your refund request getting declined

[fast hearth]

I want to get a refund for all the goods I used for the game..

[fiery tundra]

When did you buy the goods?

[pallid wraith]

I don't think that's possible? But you could try contacting support in game

Unless all of the goods you bought were within 48 hours, then I think that's possible at least

[fast hearth]

Please. Could you send me a support link?

[pallid wraith]

!support @fast hearth

[upper sail]

You can contact TGC Support via the menu in-game by clicking the cog icon ⚙️ in the top right corner of your screen, then clicking Support > Contact Us.
If you’re unable to access your game, you can contact Support by using the link below:

some chinese phones may not be able to download sky from the google play store. If your phone is not compatible with google play, the best chances are to download the chinese version from the appstore that has already been installed in your game. However, if your phones is just not powerful enough for sky, then you can't download it.

[karmic elk]

Let me explain the some chinese phone context.Newer Huawei phones *or after US ban and China version's phone with no preinstall google play services are not compatible.

And if you download chinese version you have a bad time since you can't pay anything and limited play time. Also the lag is on barely playable state.

[lapis siren]

not just Huwei phones. I can't acsess Vault, Golden Wastlands or Villiage of Dreams

😦

[desert spruce]

wait why is that?

[obsidian basalt]

algum Br ? 😶🇧🇷

[pure cargo]

Does anybody here know why my friend cant download sky on his samsung? Maybe?

[kind kayak]

what device does he have?

some samsungs may not be able to run the game

[pure cargo]

Galaxy a 10

[tame comet]

Yeah, the A10 is 32bit. It's not compatible to play sky.

[pure cargo]

Thank you!

[kind kayak]

yup. sky requires a device that is 64bit unfortunately

[pure cargo]

That is sad is there a work around on a laptop

[kind kayak]

you can't play sky on pc, although tgc might develop the pc version in the future. your friend is going to have to get a different device if he wants to play sky right now

[pure cargo]

[kind kayak]

i don't believe there is any way to delete your account on your own, or even with the help of support, but you can try and ask. the best way to start fresh is to create a new account, although it is recommended to avoid doing so on the same device, since it can cause problems with both existing accounts

[proud cairn]

its still possible if your device is able to clone apps. many new devices have this feature, so maybe you should check if your has it as well.
its placed in settings > apps > dual apps

[fleet plume]

okay

[round meadow]

Hey y'all. Whenever I am trying to play music or a podcast while playing sky, the music/podcast app ALWAYS crashes as soon as I go back into sky. (stitcher, youtube music, pocket casts, audible, etc) is there a way that I can fix this? /Why is this happening?

[untold sigil]

Game got updated and specifically for android it says that graphics were updated for newer phones. I wonder what does that mean? 🎉

[Android] Updated graphics setting options for some newer devices

[sinful patrol]

Hello, im having issue with big fonts, im using Samsung s10, and i just update the phone software and add the patch to the game, still having big font

[subtle pagoda]

it could mean that the way u access the change in resolution in the settings is different?

[subtle pagoda]

hmmm try restarting your phone or try adjusting the font size in settings and see whether that would work

[subtle pagoda]

by settings i mean the phone settings

[sinful patrol]

I send a ticket, i did that already, i dont have big font on other apps or on phone

[subtle pagoda]

I had the big font on my device before

in sky^

after awhile it just suddenly switched back to a normal font

i found that weird

[sinful patrol]

Oh

[subtle pagoda]

but do try restarting your phone and see whether that would help?

[sinful patrol]

I will let app open to see if it change

[sinful patrol]

I did that already

[subtle pagoda]

oh

[fast hearth]

Hey y’all, now with this update my friends device said this...is there a way to fix it?

@fast hearth second paragraph here

[tame comet]

Yes, of you pass safetynet, follow those directions. If you're failing safetynet, that message is working as intended. In that case, you might need to contact your phone manufacturer on why you'd start failing. (This is a rare case, usually clearing data and cache of play store and play services foxes this message)

[fast hearth]

Okay, he has an Xiamomi Redmi note 5

Thank you

"[Android] Updated graphics setting options for some newer devices"
anyone notice anything different?

settings are still Default -> High perf. 60pfs -> HD 30fps for me

[glass cradle]

i don't see anything different myself either

[karmic mesa]

That is for devices like the Samsung Galaxy S21.

That's basically saying they added support for the newest hardware past the Snapdragon 865 and equivalent from other brands

[karmic elk]

Unless you have M1 mac chip macbook with latest Mac OS

M1 is Arm64 and can play iOS games natively

[karmic mesa]

Ehhhhh

Only thing though,

Sky doesn't have proper keyboard and mouse support

[kind kayak]

The mac version hasn't been tested or optimized, but yes, you could play sky on one for now. Although the devs can also disable it if they need to (I'd link the post, but I'm on mobile ) so its probably best to just wait for a pc version

[karmic mesa]

Yeah... Though the experimentalist in me wants to kind of know what kind of performance it gets... Obviously the M1 is a powerful processor... But without the proper optimization does it still run it smooth???

[fast hearth]

I thought Apple patched out being able to sideload iOS apps on the M1 Macs

[kind otter]

Hello, I upgraded the version and found that the icon has become a box shape.

[analog axle]

Lots of stuff became box shape too

[kind otter]

Is this a new design?

[analog axle]

Probably

[thorn onyx]

if you're not sure feel free to report at #bug-reports-android

[analog axle]

I can't join up to my sky children because they haven't updated theirs 😔

[kind kayak]

The icons on Android are a bug

They shouldn't be turning into squares and triangles

[kind otter]

OK I've already reported it.

[prisma iris]

website says iOS apps on mac is a feature

[karmic elk]

Square and missing button

[unreal axle]

Are you guys ever gonna make a 32 bit version???

[karmic elk]

Idk, we are not devs

[unreal axle]

i wasnt asking u, i-

[karmic elk]

They finally fix the home screen bug

[fast hearth]

sideloading being the key word in my message

[fast hearth]

they're never gonna
get a newer device :V

if you're on a budget buy a used OnePlus 5 or higher

[pallid wraith]

Devs don't even read this channel, only us normal players here

[unreal axle]

Oh 💀

[fast hearth]

that's not true actually
they just don't speak here very often

[pallid wraith]

Oh, they do?
I thought they mostly read wishlist, feedback, and the beta channels probably-

[karmic elk]

They won't make 32bit because Android 11 is only 64bit so they probably just don't make 32bit. Also making 32bit just make game run worst for medium end phone

Performance is already bad for my 64bit. If my phone is 32bit it will make it worst

[fast hearth]

99% of all 32-bit phones out there would be too weak to run Sky anyway, really

[tame comet]

The game was initially developed for iOS which has been 64 bit for a long time and Google is phasing out 32 bit. Adding support for something the creator of the OS is phasing out seems counterproductive.

[sleek torrent]

She's huge

Bug?

Like it should be smaller?

[sleek torrent]

I'm having all this too

[vocal cave]

Does anyone know the detail about new patch??

[sleek torrent]

Anyone else on Android felling like they got better FPS and lower heating now?

After the latest update

[open locust]

Actually I've been having the opposite struggle

A couple weeks ago my phone had a bigg update and ever since then when I play stay the graphics have gotten reallyyy bad and it overheats more

I don't know why :(

And the whispy clouds or water fall effects are all pixels blocks

It use to work really good before my phone was updated tho
