[drifting moon]

In the first video that was from a day and a half of farming because I forgot to collect from the last time I'd been on. I know i forgot to mention it and it makes this sound bad, but I'm not making the same amount of candles. I'll film a cr start to finish if I have to

[past arrow]

Log in Sky and start recording a full cr (with charger connected).

[drifting moon]

I cant today, I've already gone today and messed up cause I clicked my candles before I was done but I went from 46 to 54 ish candles from daylight Prarie to the forest, and I ran out of chevrons at the end of forest

[past arrow]

Still you haven't reacted or noticed you might have wax lag if your connection is not stable.

By stability I don't mean download speed, but ping stability (not average).

Wdym run out of Chevrons? It's easy to go from 3 to 1 especially if you sit/chat/stans near the home tree before your cr

[drifting moon]

I can barely farm 2 realms by the time my chevrons run out and I made about 12 candles average

[karmic elk]

Just don't collect the candles on Home and straight to the candle run.

[drifting moon]

I don't sit by the tree often and I often save candles at home for last

[past arrow]

Do a full cr Video, don't go near the tree (keep charger connected)

[drifting moon]

I'm a college student who doesn't have much time other than to run around farming unless I have a weekend

[drifting moon]

I'll do it tomorrow with the daily reset. It's at 3 AM for me

[karmic elk]

@past arrow If the wax lag cause the forge candles miss some of them how to fix it?

[past arrow]

Be sure to go to new candle places in forest, vault, isle to get everything

[drifting moon]

I will

[past arrow]

Only with better connection. But it can be bug too

[karmic elk]

Because I having sometimes like forge a candle and the meter just filling and it's stop it self. And I forgot my candle is already on or missing.

[past arrow]

If you sync your progress, reinstall SKY as well

[drifting moon]

I sync my progress yes

I'll try it

Thank you for the help

[fast hearth]

I record video for playing music but the note sound got delayed 0.5 or 1 sec. Anyway to fix it?

[past arrow]

It's mostly your device. In new flagship phones there's almost no delay. Try to disable voice recognition based apps like hello Google and uninstall resource hungry apps which can run in background (for example Facebook). Try to restart the phone.

[raven viper]

is anyone else experiencing an error server connection the moment they enter? i havent been able to play for half a week now

[past arrow]

Several ISP have error issues with some IP ranges. Call your ISP. If you are from Philippines, it's a known issue for their isp, not Sky issue for sure.

[fast hearth]

Season of Assembly is still active in Beta

[fast hearth]

I wonder if we'll ever get the headphones on Android(?) The ones that show when you're listening to music outside of the app🤔

[past arrow]

Tgc announced they are working on it but it's a long term plan and personally I doubt if ever will be there because of constant background audio Google apps and so many Android builds

[lost scroll]

can i play at 60fps in OnePlus 5t 6/64gb

[calm heron]

@lost scroll I got a OnePlus 6. It's about 25% faster. Maybe your settings are the same as mine

[prime oasis]

/waittt a sec, i've been playing since, enchantment and never seen the 3 battery power graphics thing?

[fast hearth]

depends on your phone

[prime oasis]

/oh yea i have a suck-ish phone

[fast hearth]

Can using a custom rom on Sky ban the player ??
I use custom rom on my android and I'm afraid of being banned from the game

[tame comet]

Custom rom isn't against the TOS. You are fine as long as your rom passes Google's CTS.

[patent kernel]

Not related to sky but affects my gameplay in sky

Anyway to improve my mobile data? It's almost always at 1-2 bars and doesn't work correctly

Turning data roaming on didn't help

When on one bar my ping gets extremely high and leads to constant server splits

I use a Moto z⁴ if that helps

[prime tangle]

If it's mobile data, it depends on your data plan coverage. Some areas has high speed internet while some don't

[patent kernel]

Alright ty ^^

[calm heron]

Cell tower might be far also or you are somewhere where signal is weak

Try WiFi if you can

[silver salmon]

hello. I can't sync my progress, and when I try to the game crashes. any ideas on how to fix this? I'm buying a new phone and really don't want to start over

[past arrow]

Try with Facebook or Google play instead. Maybe your screen is too little and cause crash. If you have your sky ID, you can ask support to transfer your progress to your new device

[silver salmon]

every window is empty like that, and I can't find my sky id either

[past arrow]

I would suggest you to contact support from your phone and tell them your problem

In Sky game using the support menu. Please note that they have up to 6 working days response time

[silver salmon]

ok, thank you!

[past arrow]

This is rather a #questions-and-help topic because it has nothing android related. If your candle turned grey or means you got 20 candles today and the Skykid's forging rate is so slow it's not worth candle grinding.

[novel crow]

Does everyone go there? And then it turns out like this.

[lost scroll]

Which Snapdragon Processor and Adreno GPU need to play at max Graphics?

[past arrow]

Check GPU requirements in pins! Sky is rather GPU hungry, not CPU

[lost scroll]

@past arrow and which iPhone can run Sky at full Graphics

[fast hearth]

this is the #android-questions channel

[past arrow]

@lost scroll

[lost scroll]

ik 😦 ill buy a new Phone soon. thats why im asking

[west lance]

How do you unlink your account

[past arrow]

You can't unlink for security reasons. Today someone posted TGC'S written reply on #questions-and-help

[west lance]

Ok thank you

[fast hearth]

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

all three links are self-explanatory

if you're on a tight budget, i'd recommend something out of this list - the eBay sellers are contractually obligated to pay for a refund and return shipping if the phone is defective

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_dcat=9355&_fsrp=1&_nkw=oneplus+unlocked&_sacat=0&_from=R40&Model=OnePlus%25208T|OnePlus%25208%2520Pro|OnePlus%25207T%2520Pro|OnePlus%25207T|OnePlus%25207%2520Pro|OnePlus%25207|OnePlus%25206|OnePlus%25206%2520A6003|OnePlus%25206T|OnePlus%25206T%2520McLaren&_sop=15&rt=nc&LH_BIN=1

that being said, obviously you should still look over the quality of the actual device before buying

[fast hearth]

make sure you run everything you're looking at against the first three links

[torpid peak]

Is random freezes and then crashing normal on Android?

[tame comet]

It's a known issue. It has been fixed and won't happen in the next update.

[swift grotto]

when I play with ppl they disappear how can I fix it?

[prime tangle]

it probably has something to do with your connection issue

[tame comet]

Or theirs

[swift grotto]

ohh

no they all have a good connection

poor me qwq

[tame comet]

It can happen if you are in a different location physically. For example, I server split from friends who aren't in the 48 contiguous states often. Though, I also server split from my girlfriend who is in the same room as me consistently also... And we have a good connection. 10ms with 1ms jitter on a 100mbit line... Sky just be wonky

[karmic elk]

Is this known issue for Android?

[tame comet]

I would suggest filling out a bug report by DMing !bug to @upper sail

[karmic elk]

This issue is been for me when start playing Sky

From ||going to orbit|| to sanctuary waterfall

[past arrow]

I see the same block artifacts at hermit valley around the sunset. I reported as a bug.

[karmic elk]

Any gas particle things rendered as blocky artifact.

Wasteland also have that issue.

[past arrow]

Yes but there it's not so noticeable because of map style and scenery

[karmic elk]

Why TGC don't use UE as main engine

If TGC

use third party engine the game should not have any possible rendering problem

[past arrow]

Ask them to make a ue engine port yourself we would be happy about it or maybe you will see and can tell us why it's not good

I have no idea

[karmic elk]

But actually, a small indie game studio can make own engine is very impressive

From Scratch

[past arrow]

Actually very impressive!

[minor oyster]

How many likes does hearts give to the altar?

How many likes does hearts give to the Ship?

[karmic elk]

If I remember right it's 10 like one heart but only one boat.

[past arrow]

This question was answered already in question topic, but users report 10-13 for quest meditation shrines and 50 for gratitude shrines and paper boats.

[desert parrot]

Whaddup y'all do y'all experience this weird bug bruh i cant get my account back

Ive been doing different methods since last weekend it still won't work

[past arrow]

This is not android related. It's a bug on iOS too. Local data and could data sync bug. Try these tips to resolve the issue:
#questions-and-help message

[karmic elk]

He mean the screen thingy

Not mothbug

[past arrow]

"I can't get my account back" please read the explanation.
They most probably wanted recovery to contact tgc because they experience starting fresh moth bug

[karmic elk]

He just want to log in to google play or facebook but screen is too tiny that the game crashed

[boreal crane]

Can someone help me i downloaded the game some time ago and now it says that it's not supported on my device

[past arrow]

I understand thats also a graphic issue as we see but it was not their original problem

[karmic elk]

By the way who anyone still play Sky on that tiny resolution screen

[past arrow]

So true

@karmic elk can you please help in #questions-and-help ? You know a lot about Android and a user is having issues on Samsung galaxy a10

How was the user with Samsung galaxy A10 able download Sky if its not supported?

[karmic elk]

1. Custom Roms
2. Illegal Install.

If there's A10 custom rom with 64bit and CTS verify maybe it will work.

[past arrow]

Thanks! I admire your droid knowledge!

[karmic elk]

Illegal install are obviously

[devout urchin]

Sky isn't supported on Galaxy A10?

strange

oh i know why now. it's because it is running on a exynos 7884

it's too low of a specification

[karmic mesa]

It's not the fault of the exynos 7884. It's because of a 32-bit operating system. The Samsung Galaxy A20 is compatible with sky and runs on the exact same exynos 7884.

[devout urchin]

ok i stand corrected then

i thought it was the exynos 7884

[karmic mesa]

[devout urchin]

exynos 7884 is pretty old tho

[karmic mesa]

I started sky on the exynos 7884 so I actually recognized the chipset upon the notification... Had to say something

[devout urchin]

lol

just live in america

get a snapdragon

[karmic mesa]

Oh yeah, it's an old chip. It definitely has performance issues with Sky.

[devout urchin]

yep

[karmic mesa]

I live in America as well. Unfortunately the a20 only has a exynos SOC

[devout urchin]

yea

[karmic mesa]

I meant exynos

Rip

[devout urchin]

galaxy A phones only come with exynos

except 71

[karmic mesa]

So it seems... Tho... I do believe the Samsung Galaxy a11 has the Snapdragon 425

[devout urchin]

wait actually?

lmao

i stand corrected again 🤦

[karmic mesa]

I am your local Android expert

Though I cater a lot towards Samsung because that's where my exposure is.

[devout urchin]

i used to be one until so many phones came out

[karmic mesa]

Right

[devout urchin]

ok ok

all the A phones ending in 0 came out with an exynos

exept 70

[tame comet]

Sadly, A11 is also 32 bit if Geekbench is reliable in that...

[devout urchin]

that is big sad

[karmic mesa]

Yeah, the a11 wouldn't be able to run it with a 64-bit operating system as well. Because the Snapdragon 425 does not support Vulkan

O.o

8 cores???

[devout urchin]

yea last i checked every samsung phone after 2019 has 8 cores lmao

[karmic mesa]

No no no

I thought the Snapdragon 425 had four cores

[devout urchin]

do i stand corrected for the third time?

[karmic mesa]

The Snapdragon 435 does have 8 cores though

[devout urchin]

it is 4 cores

[karmic mesa]

Oh... I just looked at the specs for the a11 and it says SD 450... Where has my head been

[devout urchin]

lmaoo

[karmic mesa]

Hah, it could actually run sky with just very poor performance assuming it had a 64 bit operating system

The adreno 506 does actually have Vulkan support

[devout urchin]

yep

my friend has an a51

and he says performance is trash

so i would like to see an a11 please

[tame comet]

A11 doesn't support Vulkan or OpenCL ES 3.x it barely supports openCL 1.1

[devout urchin]

the gpu does tho

[karmic mesa]

Yeah other phones with the same SOC does have Vulkan support. And it's opengl that you should be looking at not opencl

XD

[tame comet]

The A11 has an Adreno 308. It doesn't support it

[karmic mesa]

O.o

Did they upgrade it?

[devout urchin]

strange?

[karmic mesa]

The Adreno 308 comes with the Snapdragon 425. The Snapdragon 450 has the Adreno 506

[tame comet]

Oh I thought you said SD425 which is an Adreno 308

[karmic mesa]

I miss remembered

[devout urchin]

silly fyre

[tame comet]

Here

[karmic mesa]

Yeah I remembered incorrectly

[karmic mesa]

.

[devout urchin]

so theoretically the a11 could run sky

lmao

if it were 64bit

[tame comet]

Still no Vulkan support

[devout urchin]

wOt

[tame comet]

But at least it supports ES 3.1

[devout urchin]

yea

[karmic mesa]

It does have Vulkan support

Unless... They decided to give Vulkan support for the 505 but not the 506

[devout urchin]

thats pretty sad ngl

[tame comet]

Most likely. Qualcomm spec pages usually show all API support.

[devout urchin]

i just noticed my phone is also bad

[karmic mesa]

Try the 505

It comes with the Snapdragon 435

[tame comet]

Odd, it doesn't show... I wonder why. Qualcomm needs to fix their pages

[karmic mesa]

Yeah...

I know the 505 supports it because I have a ZTE blade z Max (z982) with the Snapdragon 435 that had Vulkan support. Sadly running Android 7 so sky was out of the question. But it could run Ark... Kinda

[devout urchin]

that's very strange

im just gonna buy a s21

[karmic mesa]

I'm not sure there is an ideal device for Ark... My new phone with the Snapdragon 865 struggles to keep a smooth frame rate in Ark

[devout urchin]

brb

[karmic mesa]

XD

Oooo

[devout urchin]

s10s are trash

[karmic mesa]

I have an S20 FE 5G

[devout urchin]

s20 im guessing?

mhm mhm

that's a mega phone right there

[karmic mesa]

Yuuuuuup

And I love it!

Though is a ZTE Blade Z Max still had a bigger screen... >_>

[devout urchin]

gotta love that samsung phones are finally better performance wise than iphones

[karmic mesa]

O.o

Kinda

The iPhone soc's are still stronger than snapdragon....

[devout urchin]

by a small margin

[karmic mesa]

Yeah

[devout urchin]

fps wise iphone is better

there

are a72s?

why

now i gotta update my catalogs by like 8 different phones :/

[karmic mesa]

O.o

[devout urchin]

;-;

i just noticed this is the sky server

[karmic mesa]

XD

[sleek torrent]

Just get a flagship killer y'all

😂

There are ways to disable ads, get better privacy

[stone condor]

Hi guys!! 🥰

Whos using a huawei device here? How can u purchase in game without google play? 😅

Big thanks :SkyTada:

[karmic mesa]

Unfortunately, you cannot. In-game purchases are 100% routed through Google Play. If you want to get a pass but cannot purchase then you'll need to have a friend give it to you.

[tame comet]

Also, not having Google Play Store... How did you install the game without breaking the Terms of Service?

[glossy knot]

I theory buying a pass for somebody is a smart investment in steed 10 euros for 1 pass you can pay 20 euros for 3 passes

[stone condor]

My friend gave me the link where i can download it. Then it runs fine 😅

[tame comet]

That's breaking the terms of service. If you get banned, don't say we didn't warn you

[stone condor]

I see thanks a lot

[stone condor]

Oh geez

[glossy knot]

Svarry

Scary

[tame comet]

It must be installed via Google Play Store, App Store or the eShop when it comes out for Nintendo. Other methods is breaking the game's TOS

[karmic mesa]

Or that other one if you're in China...

[tame comet]

Yes, there is a Netease version for region locked areas

[karmic mesa]

I knew it was called netease... I just didn't want to look like a fool and say it wrong...

XD

[stone condor]

Maybe ill find a new phone with google play haha. Thanks a lot for the advice. Im 4days old the game and im loving it thats why i keep playing it nonstop 😂😂😂

Big thanks to all of ya. Keep safe keep hydrated ❤️

[karmic mesa]

Avoid newer Huawei devices as they do not come shipped with Google Play.

They're pretty much the only phones that would otherwise be compatible but are incompatible to the lack of Google Play.

[sleek torrent]

Huawei phones are unique, specially the higher end ones

But this US ban is a bummer

[karmic elk]

China Netease Version is unplayable becuase of lag

I play netease china version of identity V but the lag

[fast hearth]

blame the CCP lol

[karmic elk]

And I play China Tencent PUBG

The lag is only 125ms maximum

[fast hearth]

still saddens me that all the Chinese people I meet on Sky have to dodge their country's servers to meet people across the globe

[karmic elk]

Do you mean VPN? Skybot stop

[upper sail]

Using a vpn is not recommended or supported by TGC. Please don't recommend, discuss, or seek help with VPNs in this server

[fast hearth]

I imagine that's probably one of the methods people use

Unfamiliar with it myself though

[fast hearth]

well, it is called the great wall of china. lol

[simple maple]

My friend tried downloading the game in a 'Samsung M30 s' and the download keeps on restarting. Anyone know why?

[dull star]

do you know why you cant download sky it said not compadible with device ?

[past arrow]

@dull star what's your device model? Is it 32 bit or 64 bit ?

Mostly your device doesn't meet the requirements to run Sky smoothly

[dull star]

hmm

[mossy wyvern]

what phone do you have?

[dull star]

samsung j7+

[mossy wyvern]

it says the phone uses 32 bit but the source code is 64 bit

[past arrow]

J7+ doesn't support 64bit. Sky runs on 64bit only

[mossy wyvern]

which is odd

that sucks man

[simple maple]

Someone help 🥺

[fast hearth]

@simple maple that's a Google Play issue, dunno if anyone here can do anything about it

try clearing the cache of the Play Store and/or restarting the device

or just like

let it run overnight or something

[simple maple]

Ohh oki

[simple maple]

Thanks!

[gritty garnet]

Hey Ktjn i wanted ask if tgc is planning on adding the IOS in-game recording system on android??, like not showing the Menu, Game controls etc

[karmic elk]

This is not channel for contacting developer

And regarding you question

Because Android work's different to iOS TGC can't implement no UI record feature to Android

Yet

[gritty garnet]

I mean ik, but its questions channel, so they can respond

[past arrow]

It's a topic where players help each other. :) It was stated by Sky staff a while ago in this topic that iOS handles the screen and game entirely differently in "layers" while Android shows in screen recording the whole screen with everything included. So it's rather an Android limitation.

Don't expect android screen recording without menu and controls therefore (at least not to be expected in the close future until droid changes something)

[karmic elk]

Until then next major Android release might not in your 2020 phone yet

Many OEM just drop the support after 3 years

[gritty garnet]

:^(

[pliant nimbus]

Is there a way to download Sky on a Kindle Fire?

[foggy field]

Is there a keyboard/mouse support comming ever? #sorryfordumbquestion

I really wanna experience this game in an emulator (for bigger screen)

[fast hearth]

Android 11 supports screen recording like ios had for last 3 years

[fast hearth]

There aren't emulators that support sky.
Also don't talk about this on the server if you don't want to be banned.
Playing sky using emulators is forbidden because sky counts as mobile exclusive.

[upper sail]

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

[foggy field]

Ok... Noted

[fast hearth]

unfortunately no, Kindles are generally very weak devices and would not run the game smoothly
most (if not all) are 32-bit anyway, so they can't run it to begin with

[past arrow]

Uzephi's reply about Android/ iOS screen recording difference:
#android-questions message

[fast hearth]

Ok ic

Sky runs on Metal engine which is developed by apple so sky is better on ios

uh, what?

if it relied on metal Android would be impossible

Maybe it's remade on some other one idk

But as I know it runs on metal on ios

@fast hearth do you know which engine sky runs on on android?

Idk really

I'm more electronic engineer than programmer

[tame comet]

Sky engine is an in house engine Thatgamecompany built. It doesn't use metal, ue, unity, etc. They have their own one.

[fast hearth]

Oh really ok ic

But why sky runs much better on ios then

[karmic mesa]

Optimization. There are fewer iOS devices than android devices. Not to mention all iOS devices are flagship level for their time.

[fast hearth]

Also snapdragon never overtakes apple bionic in performance

[karmic mesa]

Also true

[fast hearth]

But why

[rustic fulcrum]

Is anyone else experiencing a bug where they join their friends and no one is there?

[fast hearth]

But do you have idea why so?

[tender magnet]

This belongs better in #questions-and-help
But when that happens, it's usually because your friend entered another area or tp away

[rustic fulcrum]

No its constant

[tender magnet]

Then that seems like a problem

[rustic fulcrum]

Also sorry, I wasn't sure where to put it :/

[fast hearth]

assuming they're on Android this would be the right channel...

@rustic fulcrum if it's consistent, grab as much info as you can and file a report in #bug-reports-android

[tender magnet]

I think I've noticed that this channel is usually for the "techy" Android stuff. General gameplay just usually go in #questions-and-help

[rustic fulcrum]

All I did was download the update and now I either can't tp to people or when I do, they are not in the same server as me

[fast hearth]

could be that your friends haven't updated their version of the game yet...?

since a patch just released

[tender magnet]

Sounds like a common bug now. Many have reported it

[rustic fulcrum]

Ah

Hopefully it's fixed soon. Kinda is the whole point of sky

[karmic mesa]

I'm guessing both are at the peak of production and Apple is simply in the lead. Qualcomm could make one better, but at the cost of time. Imagine 2-3 years without a new Snapdragon chipset.

[fast hearth]

As I know arm makes exclusive architecture for apple processors, which is better I guess

[karmic mesa]

That is a factor

[fast hearth]

But I don't like ios devices

Cuz of simple hardware

60hz screen

Small battery

Ugly notch

Usual camera

And all this stuff

[past arrow]

It always happens when friends are on a different patch and haven't updated. This is to avoid collision between different functions and areas. But tp ability and no friends to see around is new... Wait for your friends to update Sky

[rustic fulcrum]

Yes but also other people are reporting this alot

[past arrow]

The fact that you can tp to friends who didn't update is a bug.
The fact that you can't join / tp to friends who didn't update is a feature.

[rustic fulcrum]

Yes but we have no proof of whether they e updated or not

So what if they have

[tame comet]

At least the random crashes are fixed and now you get an afk animation.

[fast hearth]

there's an animation now?

[vernal compass]

Yeah, if you go afk for long enough without touching the screen at all, it will put 💤 above your skykid's head (or your friends or random people, if they are afk)

[north furnace]

Is it normal for the store not to be available in this device?
I have a Huawei P40 Lite in which I have sky but when I open the store it is not available
Though, in the other hand I have a Samsung Galaxy A51 in which I have the same account.
The difference here is that the store works perfectly in this other device.

[karmic elk]

Wait the minute

P40 lite doesn't have Google play why you can install sky on that Huawei device

[fast hearth]

Huawei doesnt support Google services, and the store is provided by Google play

[past arrow]

Doesn't it have something to do with the USA Huawei van/restrictions? I've had a chat with a Huawei owner in Sky and they don't have play store working too. I'm think Huawei devices can't officially download Sky.

[karmic elk]

illegal install

[prime tangle]

Is the Huawei ban only in America? Because I know someone who uses Huawei and has Google play in it

[karmic elk]

Huawei ban is Huawei can't pre install Google play services to newer Huawei phone

[karmic elk]

Maybe he use the phone that is before Huawei ban and have Google play services

[past arrow]

Google is in America therefore ban affected all Huawei devices

[prime tangle]

So even if it's bought in a different country other than America, Google play still won't be available?

[karmic elk]

Because Google is US company

[prime tangle]

Aye, got it. So I just have to avoid newer models if I want Google play?

[karmic elk]

Not exactly like that. You need to find specific phone that is manufactured before Huawei Ban is a thing

[prime tangle]

Alright. Thank you for the info

[karmic elk]

As the Google says they will still give existing Huawei device Google Services support

[cobalt gust]

Has the new update arrived?

Cause I was waiting for the patch notes about the bug on supposedly on my account whenever I enter the friends I crasg

Crash*

[sleek torrent]

You can install play store, but sometimes it will be uncertified, so some issues may occur

It isn't hard at all

[prisma rapids]

How do I unlock my account? Someone did this bad job; -;

[sleek torrent]

Huh?

[past arrow]

Nobody can lock a Sky account. What do you mean @prisma rapids

[pulsar elbow]

Maybe Mell ask how to unlink the account?

[past arrow]

Maybe

[karmic elk]

IDK

[past arrow]

But you can't unlink account yourself. Only support can do it

[hybrid ruin]

Guys idk if its the new android 11 update or the game update, but my device heats up a lot it was not like this before! Any suggestions are welcome!

[fast hearth]

TGC, Why is the graphics blocked? Some players prefer to play in lag but with better graphics even though they know the phone is not capable ... but there are many phones that are capable of better graphics. But the game actually blocks the options that the phone is able to carry .... It would be best to unlock all the graphics options, each has its own preferences.

you're welcome to disagree but for the most part I feel like letting people overheat their weak phones is a bad idea...

If the phone overheats and exceeds the temperature limit .... Sky can warn the player. And if it doesn't come out when the phone crosses the line then Sky can shut itself down .Until the phone has a normal temperature

I mean, TGC shouldn't set graphics limits based on the GPU model. But on the power of the processor

Because many powerful processors have a weaker GPU ... and players have very negative expectations when they enter the game

E.g

Sky relies a lot on the GPU though

moreso than the processor

[hybrid ruin]

It was not this bad before

I can cook an omlette

I was playing with lvl 2 graphics

And way cooler before , I contacted support but they suggest restart the device

[fast hearth]

Kirin 710/710F (mali-g51 MP4)
VS
Mediatek P70 (mali-g72 MP3)

If we look at the tests done on the processors ... Kirin got a lot more points than mediatek...
But mediatek has a better GPU than Kirin's
Sky has been tested on both processors
On mediatek, Sky ran very well with 30 stable FPS and a good resolution

But on the Kirin processor, which is more powerful than the mediatek, Sky ran terribly because of the GPU it had
Sky was running somewhere around 15 fps and with a terrible resolution

Some processors may do more ... but they're stuck because of the GPU they have

[hybrid ruin]

My device has Helio g95 and mali g76 MC4

The phone heats up

I can't hold for more longer and I'm concerned

For my device health

[fast hearth]

Oh...ok

But still..

The TGC really needs to do something about it

[past arrow]

It seems the Android update messed up something on your phone. Try to revert update or reinstall Sky (only if your progress is synced, save your recovery ID). Or you can wait for Android 11 update fix for your device.

[hybrid ruin]

Hmm

Okay

I was playing a while ago and my phone auto closed the app due to the temperature 😭

[tame comet]

I would think it's how your phone manufacturer deployed the Android 11 update. I don't get any overheating on my phone with sky on Android 11. Highest I've seen my phone CPU get is about 56°C which is about 20°C below thermal throttle or overheat.

[fast hearth]

if by "do something" you mean "rewrite how the entire game's graphics are displayed to use the CPU more than the GPU" i don't think that'll ever happen...

[past arrow]

It's already very impressive that such small indie company with about 15devs wrote it's own engine that runs mostly smoothly on most 64bit devices.

Using the GPU to render was a choice to be able to squeeze the game to a size available for phones. There's a 2 hours long video on YouTube from TGC and for a significant duration they explain their technique and challenges.

[tame comet]

CPUs aren't designed to handle physics or rendering requests. Offloading graphics requests to the CPU would make the game run worse, not better.

A good analogy: try using a video encoder like h.264 forcing CPU and then try it with GPU. I bet the GPU encode would be at least 4x faster than CPU encoding

[north furnace]

Installed it via internet 🥺
I wanted to know if it worked in Huawei after the ban

[north furnace]

Is it illegal that way..?

[tame comet]

If you're in the US jurisdiction, yes. There is a ban on Huawei devices having Google Services. If your device didn't come with Google Services, it's due to that ban.

[north furnace]

Yeah, I know it's because of it
Sad

The US jurisdiction...mmm, I got the phone in Spain, and I currently live in Spain
Though I am not sure it affects anyways
I will try and contact TGC

[past arrow]

It has nothing to do with TGC

The US Huawei ban affected all Huawei devices worldwide because Google is a US company.

All Huawei devices which had Google play store and other Google apps have the same issue now regardless of country of sale. The fact that you bought the phone in Spain didint change Google corporation's location.

[polar void]

Hi! I was wondering, how do I use a google play gift card to buy stuff in sky?

[fast hearth]

swipe to the right > payment methods > redeem code

[polar void]

Ohh, ok! Was wondering for future reference! Thank you!

[zinc maple]

hey any reason why i cannot choose the 60fps option in the graphics settings to even try and see how will i run it?

[fast hearth]

Some Android devices dont support 60fps

[zinc maple]

so, why can't i try?

[past arrow]

Even some they did, it would cause crash

[zinc maple]

i highly doubt unlocking the fps would cause a crash in most devices

even if they dont reach 60 fps

[past arrow]

Are you a coder who participated writing TGC's graphic engine?

[tame comet]

To avoid bad reviews if people enable it and not get 60 fps.

[zinc maple]

yea that seems most plausible

[worldly meadow]

I accidentally exited sky while filling out the survey and can't find where to fill out the survey now...

[zinc maple]

any mods to enable it then lmao

[past arrow]

That's gone. You missed it. Maybe next time

[past arrow]

Modifying the app is against TOS

[zinc maple]

yea fair enough, i was half sarcastic anyway

[past arrow]

In several cases 60fps can cause heating issues too

[zinc maple]

really annoying how you cant enable it at all without the devs specifically doing so for a device, like imagine if that was a thing with PC games

imo graphics settings and fps settings should be up to the user

[past arrow]

And many people think differently

[zinc maple]

what's their reasoning behind that though

[past arrow]

Many users would leave bad feedback if some settings didn't work and cause many bugreports

[zinc maple]

so why cant there just be a simple message box saying "hey, settings the graphics settings too high may cause issues such as overheating or low fps depending on your device"

[past arrow]

Because many users won't accept that. Also without your idea many devices already crash because of graphic hiccups.

Devs have their own reasons based on countless testing, bugreports and experience we are not aware of. By playing Sky you accept their right to alter, modify, change the game the way they see it.

[zinc maple]

of course they do, and i can rightly point out my own points with that as well and give my reasoning behind it, that's how games can improve

[worldly meadow]

nvm, filled it out now

[past arrow]

Games don't improve by your experimental ideas. If you learnt a little law, overheating notification message won't be enough in an app....

[worldly meadow]

it was in the news channel

[tame comet]

There is a way, but it isn't user friendly and requires Magisk and editing build.prop files which can cause other apps to have issues (or even cause a soft brick, so highly not suggested). I tested it out by forcing my phone to be a Pixel 4. I capped at 52 fps but average was around 44.

Needless to say, that is most likely why 60 fps is locked out for the Pixel 3a

[zinc maple]

i can say what i experience from my POV is what im trying to say

[past arrow]

That's not the survey inside Sky. In the news there's a survey but that can be done in your browser. I thought you were talking about the random survey of Sky app which appears randomly for users.

[worldly meadow]

i was talking about that one, the questions and site and everything was the same

[zinc maple]

you still get higher frames, i'd happily take that over being capped at 30

[tame comet]

The frame dips caused more stutter than just being locked at 30 fps though

[worldly meadow]

oh, and i got the random message again

[zinc maple]

yea then that's up to you as to what you prefer

[worldly meadow]

literally 5 seconds ago, lol

[past arrow]

Pixel user here, too I have 60fps on Pixel 5 but almost never use because the device can get hot quite quickly

[fleet salmon]

[karmic elk]

You can't install sky on internet as this break TOS

Fun fact I saw some sky google play review and saw someone have a Huawei high end device can't have 60fps and just give it one star

[unborn hamlet]

I had samsung with android 10 and before last game update sometimes my fonts become very small, i reopen app and it back to normal. Yesterday i instaled android 11 and fonts become huge, later become a bit smaller. So now when i open app fonts become bigger or smoller (but still bigger than before)... have anybody experianced that? Names in constellation looks crazy, daily quest took almost half screen...

[ember glade]

I experienced the same problem before the update. It's smaller now after i updated the game.

[lusty pendant]

will they ever add capeless in live ? ;-;

[fast hearth]

hello guys!.. how can i on my in app purchases? any tips ? (samsung note 8 exynos)

[karmic elk]

Probably not as it was joke item only in beta

[ember glade]

How can you what?

[fast hearth]

what ?

if you have pc you can setup in app purchases on your phone but

i dont know how to do that

[prime tangle]

it's linked to google play

[ember glade]

Ah i'm not sure if i understood

Someone send hjëlp

[prime tangle]

linked payment option in google play

[fast hearth]

i did but its not working

[sleek torrent]

My mum has the 710F and wow it's terrible, 69°(nice) and a very choppy/pixely and laggy gameplay

[sleek torrent]

Hey, just try to get play store installed, lots of guides available. After that you should be able to play sky legally and safely

[sleek torrent]

Android 11 is supposed to be lighter and faster, I updated recently and it was epic

I get good gameplay now

Like my FPS was in single digits or under 15 before

After update I'm getting above 25 most of the time

Samsung also provided a frame booster, it can produce more frames than the cap and I got a highest of 52 at homespace

Also it manages the thermals well

Never above 45°C

It was at 39° even after 45minutes of default mode gaming

[karmic elk]

What about CTS. I heard not CTS verify phone run Sky will just Crash the game

[kind otter]

hello Why do I get a lower picture quality with a better processor?

I use the snapdragon 870, but the actual quality is not as good as the snapdragon 845.

I thought I'd submit a feedback.

[past arrow]

It highly depends on your GPU. Sky is not cpu, rather GPU hungry. Your GPU may be weaker.

[kind otter]

Adreno 650 is no better than the Adreno 630?I mean the picture quality is not as good as my old mobile phone.

[neon aspen]

Oh who can help me report this bug

Plz My English is bad I don’t know what is the robot saying

[past arrow]

650 is better, but the other factor can be screen ratio. Unusual screen ratio is an issue because to that the game graphics must be upscaled to fit screen which doesn't look good.
The third issue can be your screen size is bigger, the resolution is not better
Also it can be Kernel and OS limitations.

[neon aspen]

The fire

Is white

[kind otter]

That may be one reason, but it looks like antialiasing is not done well.

I will send a sample picture that I took using the game's own camera.

[past arrow]

Android update messed up graphics on many Snapdragon devices (mostly Samsung, but other models could be affected) making more aliasing artifacts. Try default mode in graphics settings

I see no huge issues on the screenshot btw.

[kind otter]

The picture is not blurred, but the jaggy feeling is serious.

Ok, I will give you a comparison chart to compare with my 845.

[past arrow]

I don't need comparison chart. Aliasing issues can happen and I'm a player like you. If android update messed up something for Snapdragon processor, it's not Sky fault.

You can give Sky your constructive ideas in #live-feedback

[karmic elk]

Anti Aliasing issue's to most Snapdragon processor. Unfortunately we can't do anything about it

[past arrow]

This looks normal, it's not white on my screen. Maybe your tablet screen can't handle such brightness. But you are true, wax is very bright sometimes. You can give your constructive feedback in #live-feedback

[neon aspen]

Ok ty

[sleek torrent]

Lemme guess, Poco F3?

[kind otter]

hello I back

[karmic elk]

Anti Aliasing issue's to most Snapdragon processor. Unfortunately we can't do anything about it

[kind otter]

yes

[kind otter]

So this is a processor problem, no matter how optimized the game will exist?

[karmic elk]

We don't know.

Devs may know how to fix it. Or actually hardware problem.

[kind otter]

Well, if that's the case, I'll replace it with iPhone 12，I used to run sky on an iPad 2020 and it was amazing quality.

But can I submit a feedback to the official?

[karmic elk]

Yes you can. This give the devs intel to know what processor having that issue.

[kind otter]

But is that a bug? Can I submit it in #bug-reports-android ?

[karmic elk]

Yes

[north furnace]

:'x
Sorry I didn't have idea

[narrow prawn]

am i the only one crashing on GW and vault ever since the update?

[bold mason]

There's been big server wide issues, so no, not just you

🥰

[worthy compass]

hey guys, a sky-account is deleted without backup or link to google, facebook etc. My friend needs help. who can help??? 😩

its on android

after a reinstall

[edgy saddle]

do they have their recovery code

and are they still using the same device?

[worthy compass]

i think no, but same device

[edgy saddle]

alright, they can still contact support

in game

top right corner cog button > support > contact us

[karmic elk]

PS: The chance of getting back account without recovery code is small to not chance of recovery it.

[delicate ginkgo]

I have the same problem but a recover code. How do I use it?

on the same device

[karmic elk]

!support

[upper sail]

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

The wait time for a Support ticket may be several days, depending on the Support team's backlog. Your patience is appreciated!

[past arrow]

You can't use recovery code yourself. Only Sky staff can handle it. Contact them by the method above

[delicate ginkgo]

Thank You!

[fast hearth]

Hey guys !! I have a question : i saw people with Iphone recording video and in their videos you cant see the menu of the emotes and all... with android, you can record even with Google Play Games and it show everything on the screen and i cant recording when i want... Whyyyyyyyy... 😫
I would like to record a mini movie and i cant 😭
Something for help me please...?

[slender yacht]

unfortunately the in-game recorder is not available on android yet, as of now it's only possible to record without the UI on iOS

[past arrow]

Uzephi's explanation about Android OS limitations for screen recording:
#android-questions message

[fast hearth]

Oh... ok... thanks

Impossible to change that...?

[karmic elk]

Yes, sort of. TGC can't do anything until Google's future release of Android that have layers thing.

[fast hearth]

Ok... thanks for all

[rustic fulcrum]

Anyone know how to fix the huge/tiny text bug?

[past arrow]

Try to change text size in your android settings

[rustic fulcrum]

Ok

Nope

That didn't fix it

[past arrow]

You can leave a feedback about it in #live-feedback with punctual app version and device model

[rustic fulcrum]

Alrighty I sent it

(Also yes, I did try clearing cache and app data, still didn't work)

[simple sable]

So, question: how to completely vipe out progress in an android device if it's linked to an google account?

[fast hearth]

contact customer support

[past arrow]

Support's message was pasted a few days ago that they don't unlink accounts from Google because of security reasons.

Your option is to sign out from account, wipe game, reinstall and use other credentials

[simple sable]

I see, thank you

[fast hearth]

Wait uhh... i just realized but when the soon version of Android will be here, the problem with the recording vidéo will be fixed ???

[past arrow]

We don't know what Google will release, dude. Future can be anytime. 1 year, 3 years.... 5...

[fast hearth]

But it's worth the wait anyway. I'll wait !! Thank you, you give me hope !!

[onyx anvil]

Anyone else having server connectivity issues?

[keen dock]

I launched the game and it says theres a new update so I tap and go to the Play Store but it's not supported on my device anymore? I'm on Android 10 and the game has always worked fine for me

Is it a bug or something?

I tried uninstalling the game just now to see if the Install button comes up but nothing

And now it doesn't even pop up in the store

[fast hearth]

@keen dock

[keen dock]

I don't get it?

I'm trying to figure out if tgc has raised requirements of the android version or something

[fast hearth]

read the second paragraph

[keen dock]

Oh my bad

I thought you were saying i should just give up and transfer my account to ios

Basically

I'll give it a shot then

Thank you

[tame comet]

Yeah, it would be best if both subjects were different posts, but oh well. It's already been there for almost a year.

[keen dock]

I never experienced this so I thought it was weird

Because my device has been compatible since day one

[tame comet]

It's on Google's end. They've been fiddling with their CTS system and hardware backed attestation, causing some devices to temporarily fail CTS check. Clearing play services and play store data fixes this temporary issue.

[keen dock]

Wouldn't clearing play services data delete important stuff?

[tame comet]

Nope. All of play store and play services important data is stored on Google's servers. Just be sure to reboot after clearing to avoid oddities.

[keen dock]

Alright I'm going to try it now

And see if it works

[tame comet]

Only local data that doesn't get stored on Google's servers is update history. I.E. when the last time you updated an app was. Your install history is still saved on the servers though.

[keen dock]

It's not working oof

[tame comet]

Can you make sure play store settings shows device certified?

[keen dock]

Mine isn't but I was still able to install it

(using magisk)

[tame comet]

If you're not certified, that would be why you can't install.

If you have magisk, make sure you are passing safetynet. If you aren't, you can't install Sky.

[keen dock]

But I used to be able to

[tame comet]

Your device might have been hit with hardware attestation.

Magisk cannot bypass that

[keen dock]

So i have to go back to stock rom

I assume sideloading wouldn't work either

This is so dumb

I don't even mess with the game in any way .-. just want to play it with my gf

[tame comet]

Mind if I DM you a link?

It will help bypass hardware check and force back to basic

[fast hearth]

and this is what keeps me from trying out LineageOS :^)

[tame comet]

I ran Lineage on my Pixel 3a... Then again, the maintainer has this fix in the rom. It doesn't bypass basic checks, just disables hardware checks.

[keen dock]

I just registered my device through my GSF ID but idk if that'll help

[keen dock]

Sure

[tame comet]

Sent. Hope it fixes your issue.

[willow junco]

I dont know how to search for this information. But, what is the best android device to play sky? Which one is the most adapted?

[fast hearth]

have i got some links for you

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

if you're on a budget, look into getting a OnePlus 6 or higher
eBay is fantastic for that kind of thing

check anything you're looking at against all three links

and always always always always always buy something with a Snapdragon processor

[willow junco]

Well i was just concerned. Seems like all here recommend s21 since it is samsung and best of samsung. But does it make screenshots like ios devices do?

In fact...

Does any android device make screenshots like ios do in Sky

[fast hearth]

screenshots on the Android build of Sky are kind of broken
the active users in this channel here collectively reported the issue to the devs and have confirmed they're aware of it

[fast hearth]

Mine does. My device can't run 60 fps Sky, but it can take screenshots and even has a screen recorder

no official statement on when screenshot resolutions will get fixed though

[fast hearth]

basically, they all eventually will assuming TGC fixes the bug where Android screenshots are lower than they should be

S21 is fantastic but will burn a hole in your wallet

if you have the money for it though, it's top of the line

...as long as you're in America

[fast hearth]

since Samsung puts different processors on their flagship devices depending on the country you live in

[fast hearth]

My phone has a Snapdragon processor

[willow junco]

If a person doesnt have anything against ios, then i think it would be reasonable to get ios device for the same price, since it just makes better screenshots in sky

[fast hearth]

that logic holds up if you only want to use a phone for Sky, i guess...

but you can get Android devices with a lot more power for cheaper costs

[willow junco]

I hope i do look like sky screenshots are the main factor to buy a phone for me, because i kinda wish it was

[fast hearth]

although the absolute latest iPhone does have slightly higher specs than the highest rated Android device

[willow junco]

Ah yes. Well anyway thanks for the replies

[tame comet]

Comparison of in game screenshot function back in Enchantment vs March 19, 2021

[tame comet]

See above for comparison of how screenshot quality vastly dropped over the course of 10 months on Android. The jagged edges are horrid and quality has dipped in other areas also.

These screenshots were taken from the same phone, just 10 months apart.

[willow junco]

So the first picture was taken later than the sunset one?

Bc for me the first picture looks worse

[tame comet]

Yes, that's the problem the black cape and scare hat was taken last TS. The sunset one was literally the first sunset I experienced in Sky back in June 2020. Something happened that made Android give horrible in game screenshots.

Game quality dropped like that for me also. Something in the optimizations didn't put an exclusion for devices that could handle what the engine threw at them. It feels like I swapped from playing PS4 to a PS2 game on Android now...

Prophecy beta was heading towards the right direction. This screenshot is another "staring at sunset" crop I did. This quality bump never hit live for some reason.

Still has laising lines though, which is horrible for an in game screenshot feature where fps doesn't matter.

[sleek torrent]

It'd faster to work, buy an iPhone and record 😂

[sleek torrent]

Soooooo true

I was like how did this game feel more beautiful before?

Also Valleys snow texture was downgraded terribly once

[tame comet]

Device manufacturers duct taping and rubber banding code together. Them making low end devices run worse than they could. You should have seen how much I had to do to fix Motorola's shoddy code on the Z2 Force kernel... It was a nightmare getting it in line with Linux Stable. (4.4.70 upstream to 4.4.157)

[tame comet]

Only crashes I experienced was the battlefield one in Enchantment, the Android 11 crashes when Vulkan updated to 1.1.128, and the recent one with gboard. No reason why my device should suffer due to other manufacturers' mistakes on making a decent build of Android.

[willow junco]

Ah, thanks for allthe replies

[stable jewel]

does anyone know the difference between "default mode (30fps)" and _"boost def mode? (30fps)" _ for those that has these options?

[tame comet]

Boosted Def mode has more graphics features added. Higher internal resolution (not native res, we lost that a long time ago), spacial ambient occlusion, etc.

[stable jewel]

ahh well honestly, I couldn't tell the difference

[tame comet]

It's small things. Like pay attention to the grass, butterflies, water, clouds, etc. There are small improvements with boosted Def mode

[stable jewel]

okay, thank you!!

[fast hearth]

huh, didn't know it was more than just the resolution

I only really use 60 anyway

PC version when

[tight parrot]

anyone experiencing lag? since update i have been experiencing extreme lag, significant decrease in graphics and sometimes crashing though my wifi and battery was alright

[tame comet]

What device?

[willow junco]

Uzephi, what device do you use, if you dont mind me asking?

[tame comet]

Pixel 3a. Snapdragon 670 and Adreno 615.

Literally Google's poster child of what a budget phone should be capable of.

[sleek torrent]

Well, Pixel 5 can't run at 60

Previous gen could, is it a downgrade?

[tame comet]

Sort of, yes. Pixel 5 has a SD 700 series.

Pixel 4 is SD800 series

[karmic mesa]

O.o

[fast hearth]

what the heck why

[tame comet]

SD765G and SD855...

[sleek torrent]

😂 it's barely noticeable in other apps, but games like sky will be bit behind

[tame comet]

Had to look it up.

[karmic mesa]

XD

[fast hearth]

isn't the 765G slightly weaker?

[sleek torrent]

Pixel=Camera

[sleek torrent]

Not really

Quite a lot

[tame comet]

Adreno 620 vs Adreno 640

[fast hearth]

I think it slightly beats out the 845 in either single core or dual core speed

[sleek torrent]

My dad has the OnePlus Nord and it suffers

[fast hearth]

Nord is weaker than my 2018 OnePlus (6)

[sleek torrent]

12Gig variant absolutely waste tbh

[fast hearth]

kinda a letdown from them

[sleek torrent]

It won't need more than 6 for that 😂

[fast hearth]

not sure why they released it

[sleek torrent]

Gigs

[sleek torrent]

Same,

[tame comet]

slight

[sleek torrent]

The hype created by them was intense

Double 😂

[karmic mesa]

And my phone has the 650...

[fast hearth]

ah ok GPU differences

I must have been thinking of CPU...?

[sleek torrent]

That's what matters

[karmic mesa]

At least when sky is concerned

[sleek torrent]

GPU

Yeah

[karmic mesa]

When set up right the OnePlus Nord should be able to play the game perfectly smooth considering it is near twice the power graphically as the S7 and the S7 was capable of playing it without any lag at 30fps.

[sleek torrent]

OnePlus became the very thing it swore to destroy

Started out very cheap, now they are rivalling Samsung and Apple

In terms of price

I miss Carl Pei 😥

The company is nothing without him

Like literally 😂😂

[karmic mesa]

It's hard to rival Samsung and Apple when it comes to Price tag... Then again... When you look at features and perks of both Apple and Samsung versus the other cheaper brands regardless of how big the brand is. You start to notice why they're so expensive.

[sleek torrent]

He invented the "Nothing" company

[sleek torrent]

But Samsung's UI and experience is the best I had so far

Clean and essential

[karmic mesa]

Exactly my point

[sleek torrent]

But for people on a budget 😂

[karmic mesa]

I've ran on devices that run on stock UI and they're not near as fluid as Samsung

And Apple's in their own ball game

[sleek torrent]

You see at the price of an Samsung A31 32gb and 2 gigs ram, you could get Poco x3 pro

Which can get 60

Easily

Alongside a ton of hardware features

[karmic mesa]

But... What can you get for $700?

[sleek torrent]

Realme

Mi 11

😆

Mi (not Redmi) makes beautiful pieces of glass

Like

[tame comet]

I don't know... My 3a is pretty fluid on UX... It just tanks if you try to make it go more than 30fps in Sky or other Vulkan games. You've seen the Vulkan benchmarks for this thing. Not the best, but gets by.

Not as bad as other Adreno 615 phones. I've checked them out. I don't know what magic Google added to this thing in firmware, but it's SD670 brethren suffer compared to it.

[karmic mesa]

It's Google's operating system... One can only expect the hardware is going to purr with it.

[sleek torrent]

Yes

It's a big software giant after all

Their camera systems are trash compared to others, but their photos

[tame comet]

I think the Adreno Boost driver I added to the kernel might help also.

[sleek torrent]

Mali boost driver exists?

😆

Asking for a friend 😂

[tame comet]

I don't think so. Adreno Boost is similar to AMD's Radeon Boost. Clocks will go over stock if there is thermal headroom.

[karmic mesa]

So put a big ol' fan behind it

XD

I'll make thermal headroom!

[sleek torrent]

Oh I see, my temps are chill, but I want my device to last so I'm leaving all stock

Amateurs, just dip yo' phones in water

😂

[tame comet]

It's how I got my phone to 75°C before... I might have enabled "high" on the Adreno Boost...

[sleek torrent]

Ha mine is 30°C cooler

[karmic mesa]

Oh... My new laptop's GPU idles at 75°C

[tame comet]

Well, 430mhz is pretty low... I have played with clocks before and know this thing can get up to 700mhz with ease and a fan behind it with no issues or artifacts. I think the 670 was just old SD835 that didn't bin correctly or something so they reduced the clocks and slapped a new name on them.

[sleek torrent]

Well, Sike!!

[karmic mesa]

Just kidding it actually idles at around 40 under light load and 75 under heavy load.

It's also clocked at around 2 GHz

All 1920 cuda cores

[tame comet]

That was a good year...

[sleek torrent]

You mean 2020

[tame comet]

No, 1920. Women got the right to vote, economy didn't collapse, yet, speak easys (easies?), and the first national radio station opened up.

[sleek torrent]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Quite a fun time it seems... Though I'm thankful I'm able to experience technology as it is now rather than as it was before. Now that I'm thinking about it, even if I were around before, I wouldn't know how sweet technology had gotten today and the technology that was out then would seem state-of-the-art.

I wouldn't regret if I were a bit ahead

[uncut rampart]

how long does it take to be able to play beta? i was accepted during the last invite wave and have been following the steps to try and install it since, but i've still had no luck

[upper sail]

@uncut rampart, to join future beta invite waves, learn all about the beta version and the sign-up process in #beta-faq.

[sleek torrent]

Yes

[karmic mesa]

That's an issue with Google Play unfortunately. There's not much that can be done. Except for things that would break terms of service.

[uncut rampart]

understood, ty for the explanation!!

[karmic mesa]

I had the same issue... I did end up breaking terms of service and fixing it I emailed TGC about it but didn't get a response.

[karmic elk]

Using that thing to install legit beta

[karmic mesa]

Mhm

[tame comet]

It pretty much makes google go "oh, you are a beta tester now that I look again, here you go."

[karmic mesa]

Yeah, exactly

Trying to download Sky on my LG K51 phone which has android 10 and 3 gb of RAM. But no luck guess I'll have to stick with my 5 year old iPod touch until I can install it.

[noble kernel]

Hello there ! I'm diving back into Sky and I wonder if I can play at more than 30 fps, when I try to cycle the battery icon, I can only go to the 2 lighting sadly :/

[karmic elk]

You can't. Some phone are only 30 FPS locked by developer.

Because if developer unlock 30 FPS to some phone it will very laggy

[noble kernel]

Oh okay thanks for the answer !

[narrow prawn]

is xiomi note 9 (android 10) still playable in sky?

[keen tundra]

Whenever I enter the game the first time and saw the light of friends turn on. After that I have to leave and enter again because the game gives an error that I can't see either the missions or collect the light. and I don't know if this is a bug. does anyone have this same problem?

[near walrus]

Bruh

Finally did andriod 11 listened to us ? That they made a voice assist feature to adjust volume of individual apps :o

[toxic harness]

Anyone else here have a problem that the game crashed when they try to use chat? Luckily I can talk to a few friends via discord. But it's very frustrating 😕

[unkempt solar]

I have an Samsung galaxy Tab S7+ (Android 11) and the graphics are really bad. Even if I turn to highest possible graphics in the settings. I'm not sure but maybe it's because of the wierd format (12.4 inches, 2K, 266 ppi, 120 Hz but 16:10 aspect ratio). Maybe someone have the same problem or the support can help. Thanks in advance

[karmic elk]

Don't Ping TGC customer support tag as this also ping Developer

[unkempt solar]

@karmic elk oh. Sorry.

[vivid wave]

Does anyone have the problem that there's a notification said the network is error eventhough my wifi is excellent? and when I delete the game and reinstall, it would crash right at the begining?

Tell me im not alone please

😭 😭 😭 😭

[ember glade]

Yes! I thought i was the only one! Game suddenly said there was a connection issue but my internet was fine

I restarted the game and its back to normal

[past arrow]

Wifi signal is nothing if the connection that comes to your router is unstable. I have no issues. Possible solutions: Restart your phone. Please delete your cache (not your data). Call your ISP. Some ISP have issues with some IP ranges.

[teal obsidian]

@unkempt solar try to check your Game Launcher settings (check quote) the graphics quality in game booster plus affects Sky's graphics and by default its set to around 85% I think

[vivid wave]

thank you, I am restarting it and hope the game will be okay again, thank you very much

[vivid wave]

I did restart the game but it still have that problem, so now im restarting my phone, thank you very much!!

Ah, I solve it!! restarting the game and my phone i delete all the cache works!!

thank you all, love you guys

[rustic fulcrum]

I am once again asking on how to fix the text bug (I've already reported it) it's not a bug in beta, just in live, which is odd, so idk

[past arrow]

I'm once again replying you that there is no known solution for that. All you can do is #report-a-live-bug if it's so tiny/big you can't read it or leave a feedback which I remember you have already done

We are players helping each other, not hackers or devs and we can't control devs'decisions and workflow

@teal obsidian thanks. but i didn't have this option in the newest version of the game launcher. I can only change between "for saving energy" or "highest performance"

[rustic fulcrum]

Guys I figured it out

Or atleast I fixed it for my sky but if you turn on game booster plus in the game plug-ins app (made by samsung) it fixes the text

[rustic fulcrum]

We did it bois XD

@teal obsidian ok. i get the game booster plug in and follow your explanation video and it makes sense. BUT nothing at the graphics realy changed :(

[proud yarrow]

Can u explain why is Samsung Galaxy A11 does not run on the game and I wanna report this but the system of the game has to much complex just for a single Bug well not a bug more like a massive anger I have right now because I have pay this game on the Pass and I have this new phone and yet I see this word said "Not capable for this version" Are u Kidding,??!?!?!

I HAVE PLENTY EVIDENCE TO SHOW THIS TO EVERYONE.

Pls tell me why

[past arrow]

Samsung Galaxy a11 is a 32bit phone. Sky never runs on a 32bit device.

[tame comet]

The Galaxy A11 is 32 bit.

[patent kernel]

Only 64 bit phones can run sky

[tame comet]

It's highly suggested to avoid "budget" phones if your end goal is playing sky. Other than Pixels or OnePlus, other budget phones are hit and miss for compatibility or even smooth gameplay. (Galaxy A20 is compatible and 64 bit, but has severely bad lag spikes.)

[patent kernel]

The phone I use (Moto z⁴) is compatible and 64 bit, probably the same with other Motorola devices

I'm no tech person or anything though

[tame comet]

Motorola Play and E series are 32 bit. The Force and Power series are 64 bit though.

[unkempt solar]

@teal obsidian ok. maybe theres is a small diffrence but anyways its not better than on other divices and as it should have been. But thanks

[teal obsidian]

You're welcome ^^
Sky on iOS generally looks better than on android

[proud yarrow]

is there even a way or not

[past arrow]

No legal way. Next time check compatibility and buy a 64 bit device

[proud yarrow]

well I am sorry for causing to much trouble I am just angry because I actually bought 20 for the pass and I am kinda feeling like massive scammed and rob

[past arrow]

Nobody scammed or robbed you. Sky app requirements are public

[proud yarrow]

alright tib thx u for massive advice but do not worry I have a plan b

[fast hearth]

So I've checked what devices sky is available on, and I've checked what message is supposed to pop up
(Aka: "This device currently doesn't meet the minimum specifications to provide a smooth experience.")
I've been trying to get my friend to download sky, but they don't seem to be able to, yet the message is different. Does this also mean they cannot download the app on their device? (Samsung 11, came out only last year) or does this mean something completely unrelated?

If you find an answer, PLEASE DM me or ping me here, it would be greatly appreciated

[ocean summit]

Are headphones exclusive content for apple users?

[prisma iris]

they're "exclusive" only because of the limitations of android devices - Android detects external audio differently than iOS, so it's been difficult to implement headphones on Android

[tame comet]

Samsung Galaxy A11? A little further up, you'll see us say an A11 isn't compatible since Samsung cheaped out and didn't make it 64 bit. The A11 is 32 bit.

[distant coral]

how do i make it so my phone dont turn off after 30 seconds

nevermind got it :>

[sleek torrent]

I have no clue how so many people buy Samsung A series budget phones

At the same price some Chinese brands will get you locked and loaded

[teal obsidian]

@distant coral open Settings and search for "auto screen off" and change the amount of time

Alternatively,
Settings > Display > Auto screen off

I think it was also called "screen timeout"

[sleek torrent]

But hey

Phones don't turn off while gaming or watching videos

[karmic elk]

My Chinese brand phone 300$+ can run Sky just fine

[sleek torrent]

Ehm

Depends

Oppo phones provide weak CPU and GPU at cheap prices

Like honestly

Oppo is more like for the style and looks

Realme,Poco,

Shame OnePlus Nord can't run at 60

It's like $350

Or more

[tame rapids]

All right

the server was down multiple time just now. so might as well wait a while

it's probably due to server stuff yeah. hopefully things are fixed n stable soon :o

[tranquil tulip]

I just updated my phone and now each time I encounter an unlit candle, player or any press-able icon my phone vibrates

How can I turn it off

I never did that before and it's just a sensory overload especially lighting a candle cake a;sldk
I'm on Android 11

[tame comet]

Seems your update included haptic feedback. Go into settings - sound & vibration - vibration and haptics. Disable "Touch feedback." Let me know if that option disabled it.

[tranquil tulip]

I only have these options

[tame comet]

Touch interactions

[tranquil tulip]

i always had those enabled though

And it never had an impact on sky

[tame comet]

It could have been an issue with your previous system version. The game is supposed to have haptic feedback tied to touch interactions/touch feedback.

[tranquil tulip]

omg that sucks I hate the in game vibration feedback so much

[tame comet]

Ive had it with the game since June of last year. Toggling that option disabled it.

[tranquil tulip]

i guess I'll have to disable that each time I want to play sky

[tame comet]

#live-feedback might be a good way to let TGC know you would like an option in game. They added sound toggles due to player feedback.

[tranquil tulip]

Good point I'll do that

oh also I used to have vibration feedback for the text icon and hidden corner icons but not the rest

so now I have nothing a;slkda this is so weird pls

[tame comet]

Yeah, all game feedback except keyboard is tied to that setting. Why you weren't getting all feedback before was the previous version your phone was using had a bug. Sadly, it was a bug that benefit you.

[narrow briar]

Hey so I gave my sister the link to join beta as soon as I was notified when it was open, it said she was a beta tester but she never was able to install the app

That is a known issue with Google. At 95% capacity, it bugs out and gives beta status but doesn't. It's weird. She may have to wait until next invite wave.

I've been wondering is the big font display a bug in Android 11?

It's a Samsung bug. I never had the issue on my Pixel and I've been on Android 11 since it launched in Sept.

[stable mesa]

Oh lmao then it's samsung bug indeed 🤣

I thought all Android 11

☹

[tame comet]

Samsung tied in font size with DPI. TGC has been trying to fix the problem, but it's only one manufacturer having the issue so it's hard to fully fix. Some phones have it work and others don't. They've been pushing fixes to it, but none have stuck.

Yes what this means? I'm Samsung a12 btw

[past arrow]

PowerVR GE8320 GPU in that phone is very weak. You need a decent GPU to run Sky.

[lost tulip]

Oh no

[lost tulip]

Then what is the decent cpu to run Sky?

[past arrow]

Tell us your budget and we can help to find you a compatible model.

[lost tulip]

Like on my phone now with no decent gpu what it does? The display and sound is abit bad?

[past arrow]

Sky is a GPU (not CPU) hungry app.

[lost tulip]

Ah doesn't matter all high and low also can hehe I just wanna see the compatible gpu phone for sky

[past arrow]

There are many models. And Sky is not only GPU dependent. Therefore there is no such "compatible GPU" list. Check the other requirements here in pins.

[lost tulip]

I see. For now, what it does to my phone that I realised is the display a bit bad, not as HD as other's phone. So the display is not as 'pretty' as others then. Sad but the game is nice so far.

[sleek torrent]

If you're planning to upgrade, I can find the best phone for your sky needs within your budget 😆

[tame comet]

That's against the terms of service. Please don't discuss installing the game from third party stores or websites. It must be installed from Google Play Store.

[karmic mesa]

Unfortunately newer Huawei phones cannot play Sky due to the ban on Google Play. Sky requires Google Play Services for many features to function including, but not limited to, the store.
