IQOO 7

[tame comet]

It's not true 90 fps from Sky though. It's AI trickery to create the illusion it's native 90 FPS. It's similar to TVs that upscale 1080i video to 1080p or adding frames higher than that. To be honest, it looks too unnatural for my taste.

[sleek torrent]

Yup, yup that's why I pointed out a theoretical, it would be great in fps or battle royales but I think it would create a loss of a lot of details in sky

Also it can upscale SDR to HDR

[tame comet]

I'm a purist when it comes to AV. Any upscaling or live added frames would always steer me away from a feature. It's the reason Sky on a Snapdragon is unacceptable to me and will drop Android Sky once Switch launches. I don't want 480p upscaled to 1080. Give me native res back, please.

[sleek torrent]

Yeah I wish atleast 720 for budget or lower end

G78 MP24= Sky runs well?

24 core GPU hmmmmm

[tame comet]

I legit showed a friend some of my footage and they thought it was some obscure PS2 or GameCube game due to the lack of graphic fidelity on Snapdragon.

[pearl jackal]

I need 2020 may ver sky

[south hollow]

I've upgraded from OnePlus 6 to OnePlus 8T, but I did not expect the graphics to be worse than before.
The resolution feels off, some text elements are huge. I found some similar bug reports. Anybody knows if there's a solution to this?

[hexed fjord]

sooo... out of all this conversation, maybe i should use a Mtk Dimensity series phone?

and if you want nice looking graphics, better off selling your soul to Apple

one thing that always annoys me is how privileged ios players are

[tame comet]

Or wait a month and play on a real gaming console instead of a device designed for making calls and texts first and everything else is a "plus."

[hollow tree]

Isn't that because of there are less variations of 🍎 device compared to 🤖?

[hexed fjord]

yes that's true

but still

like, ios players have their exclusive stickers, and the headphone cosmetic when they listen to music while playing

[hexed fjord]

how powerful is Switch really? i always have doubts about nintendo's intense graphic capabilities

[karmic mesa]

I've been wondering the same thing. But since there's only one type of hardware to choose from optimization should be easy

[hexed fjord]

for Playstation and xbox, it's no question. But Switch? yeah not so much

maybe an ipad for the same price could beat the switch by a mile

[tame comet]

A little over half a TFLOP on the GPU side of things.

512 GFLOPS for the first model Switch and 649 GFLOPS for the switch lite and patched regular switches.

[hexed fjord]

sky been out for years and still no pc port while genshin impact is available on all platforms in just a few months

[karmic mesa]

Money and Crew

[tame comet]

For comparison, the Snapdragon 845 tested at 737 GFLOPS

[karmic mesa]

TGC has like 10 Devs

[hexed fjord]

im planning to wait for switch release so that i could use Yuzu and FINALLY SKY ON PC

[karmic mesa]

lol. watch it not work

XD

[hexed fjord]

yeah, i once saw an emulator struggled with BOTW, but thats a while ago, now idk

[upper sail]

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

[hexed fjord]

yes

the devs must be thinking about portablity first, so they chose Switch rather than PS or Xbox

[tame comet]

Nah, Xbox, PSx, and PC all are x64 based, not ARM. iOS, Android and Switch all use the ARM instructionset. Easier to port to switch first.

[karmic mesa]

Previous Nintendo consoles have been known to be terrible to code for... The switch broke the chain for that though with them allowing an easier coding language and an open market.

[sleek nymph]

I reinstalled the game after taking a 4 months break and the wax isn't collecting. Is this just a personal issue or there are some people who have the same issues?

[hexed fjord]

maybe connection issue

and man has no one here ever tried this game on a Dimensity series phone?

[karmic elk]

Innersoft have 3 crew

[karmic elk]

Genshin have many devs . There's no way TGC can compare them

[hexed fjord]

since youre here, how do you feel about realme q2?

can it handle this game well

Dimensity is relatively new so im not sure

[karmic elk]

Mail G57 MC3

Hmm

It only have 3 media core so I think it can only handle 30FPS or worst

[lost tulip]

Hi. Since my phone (galaxy a12) is not um compactible and lessing my experience in sky (from the note given when you open sky, i forgot what it said) so what am I missing on when I play sky? I'm curious

[hexed fjord]

Wait the game said this?

[lost tulip]

Yes this one

[hexed fjord]

ah then no need to worry

[lost tulip]

So there's no difference?

[hexed fjord]

it's just that the game would be less smooth because of your underperforming processor inside your phone

speaking of which, sonething as cheap as galaxy a12 can play this game

[sleek torrent]

Something as cheap as $250 new can run sky at 60fps

[fast hearth]

why? 😭

[past arrow]

Mostly because your device is not capable to run Sky. But it's hard to tell what's the technical reason if you don't write your exact device model...

[true trellis]

Which device was this?

[hexed fjord]

idk but probably not a popular brand, i have never seen this UI before

[hexed fjord]

yeah the poco x3 pro pretty much breaks the record of flagship killer

[fast hearth]

I use tecno camon 11

[indigo ocean]

Hi Sky Android friends, lately I've been experiencing being seperated with my friends while candle running or while doing quests (To the point that its happening every 5 minutes.) Even playing solo while in Prairie and I'm in the 8 player puzzle, the one's I'm with suddenly disapeared and I have to wait for another batch. Sometimes its like playing in an empty server..

[prime tangle]

It could be your connection issue if you always find yourself alone in a server

Fast internet doesn't guarantee an ok ping I believe

[indigo ocean]

Thanks Velvet.

[karmic elk]

I didn't even heard this brand

Let me check

PowerVR GE8320
PowerVR GE8100

Both are underpowered and can't be play sky

[fast hearth]

oh

[fast hearth]

thanks 😊

[true trellis]

It seems the device is not powerful enough to run Sky

[fast hearth]

sadly 😢

[sleek torrent]

I never heard about that brand too

[little anvil]

Does anyone have a sd870 phone. I'm planning to buy one(vivo iqoo 7) how well does the game run? Does it get hot on 60fps?

[viscid terrace]

I won't recommend buying vivo phones even if they use snapdragon soc. They have thermal issues in my experience and also slower Android updates.

For daily usage it's okay but for gaming nah

[sly rampart]

I've been waiting for Android's ingame cool headphones for more than a year 👀
Will tgc bring it to Android someday or it's only for ios?

[true trellis]

Someday however we won't really know for sure when exactly is it gonna happen.

[boreal tapir]

It's still only available for IOS. Implementation is already challenging to so do in-spite of Android's constant background audio (Too many Android builds persay) and the way it's detected differently from IOS. It is something they're working on but that's already proven to be long-term.

[sly rampart]

Sadge

[past arrow]

Bringing headphones is an android limitation, not Sky issue. Android is very clumsy in terms of handling and perceiving audio.

[blissful temple]

Does anyone know how to make the sky picture image capture higher quality? The pictures I take in sky on Android are way WAY more pixelated than the ones I took on iOS.

[sleek torrent]

@little anvil hello! You see the IQOO 7 will get 60fps easily

No problems

It can technically run sky at 90 or 120fps but it's not confirmed

The display upscale up will do the part

Be warned if it get 120 fps, the game may lose clarity, but it will will smoother

[little anvil]

Ik

But does it run at 60 without getting too hot

[sleek torrent]

It's 870 not a big deal for it

It won't unless the software is messed

Oh btw if you get it, do say If it can achieve 120 or atleast 90

[little anvil]

Well my friend said he can hit 90 on realme x2 pro with sd855+

There's no official support for 90fps and 120fps tho

One thing I found out is there doesn't seem to be an fps cap. My current phone only can go upto two bolts. Which is high definition 30fps mode but I get more than 30 a lot of times. Sometimes I get 50fps too.

The thing is all Android phones get hot after sometime on 60fps mode and starts lagging.

I sometimes use am ice pack on my phone while playing

[karmic elk]

Sky on android having some issues of making screenshot and the screenshot is pixelated

[fast hearth]

No quieren a los usuarios Android ☹️☹️ ☹️

[prime tangle]

Um, there's beta content there, can you delete that?

[tame comet]

!omgomghaveyouseenthe

@fast hearth as others have mentioned, your picture had features currently under testing in the beta version so it has been removed. Please feel free to talk about them in the channels the bot mentioned above!

[tame comet]

Sadly, no... Google being Google.

[valid drift]

S20 runs 60 fps, right?

[sleek torrent]

Yes

Snapdragon is better in almost every regard except the screenshot dilema

[tame comet]

S20 is Exynos and S20 FE is SD, no?

[valid drift]

With exynos

Have overheat?

I wanna buy a Galaxy s20

[tame comet]

All phones turn into a hand warmer playing Sky. It's a pretty demanding game.

[sleek torrent]

But some turn into a room heater

[viscid terrace]

My phone doesn't heat on medium graphics :)

[sleek torrent]

Lol which?

Pretty sure Blackshark goes under 0°C while playing sky

If the fun cooler is used

[viscid terrace]

Redmi k30. It may get hot on default settings, but I am not sure. I am using a tweaked CPU governor. So it runs cool also with no lags.

[sleek torrent]

Mmm

[astral smelt]

Hi

Where to share friend links

[fervent stone]

In DMs only

[astral smelt]

Okey teşekkürler

[true trellis]

For S20, Exynos on Global Variants & SD on US Variants whereas on S20 FE, there's Exynos and SD variant but not sure if it's country dependent it could be country dependent tho since almost all of the time, US gets the SD Variant

[golden jewel]

How does the log in bug affect having two accounts atm?

[past arrow]

You can't have 2 at the moment or you can't unlink one from Sky to use the second one, or you get (Gmail) error message or other (like: "there is already an account connected). In worse cases accounts get merged and IAP lost. The nature of the bugs is they are not always fully predictable in terms of outcomes before being patched.

[karmic elk]

And technically 2 account is break of tos

[sleek torrent]

In India S20FE is exynos but S20FE 5G is snapdragon

[golden jewel]

I can't convince ppl to believe me since it's pretty sus, but long story short my cousin who lives with me broke his phone and wants to play on mine. He can't recover old data since recovery options are on the sim which along with the phone is broken.

[karmic elk]

I don't know but there's a way to do it. If your cousin use google link his sky account and you use facebook to link your sky account you can actually can manage multiple account in that way.

[karmic elk]

By the way, what old data?

[hexed fjord]

ok now my phone shuts down suddenly when i play the game

i have to use a charger to keep the phone alive while playing

i even switched to a different miui rom but still

it could be battery problem, im seeing false battery percentage every reboot

[shell juniper]

Since I changed my smartphone to a new model (Galaxy Note20 Ultra5G), the screenshots taken with the game features are terrible. Specifically, the edges of the object should be jagged like stairs.
Is there any solution?

[karmic elk]

I think you phone is Snapdragon chipset version. Sky has a bug that on Snapdragon phone the screenshots are terrible.

[viscid terrace]

I like to see side by side comparison of same location on snapdragon and mediatek.

[tame comet]

#android-questions message and the message below it. Opening it up on my 21" 1080p monitor at full screen and the difference it pretty obvious without any zooming needed.

[viscid terrace]

Yeah exynos looks good. No AA on snapdragons :(

Heyoo
Quick question: can android users have headphones too?
I mean do this only work with Apple? Bc i tried the trick and i didn't get them!
I WANT THOSE COOL HEADPHONES SO BAAAAD

[cerulean violet]

the headphones are for ios only

aka Apple

[true trellis]

Tib and Bear is Bored have this explanation regarding your concern

[shell juniper]

I didn't know about the bug, thank you for letting me know!
There seems to be nothing that can be done other than waiting for the correction for the time being.:SkyBow:

[tame comet]

10 months it's been an issue... Don't expect a fix anytime soon.

[shell juniper]

[karmic elk]

10 months ago, We suffer that bug for 10 months

[pearl jackal]

Hi all. Here's a person from forgotten Android. Just curious about switch sky's performance

[past arrow]

Switch is not live and not even android. Please head to beta topics with this question.

[sleek torrent]

Why is the AA issue not a priority?

[tame comet]

Nope, all the 1-3 star reviews on the play store complaining about blocky and horrible graphics aren't a priority.

[flat pilot]

how do i get invited to the beta version of sky on android? i keep checking playstore to see if a position has opened up to install it but its always full

[prime tangle]

Read #beta-faq

[flat pilot]

okay ty

i will

[sleek torrent]

Are you being serious? I think they should have fixed it before moving to switch

As I always say sky was 4.8 when I downloaded it

The number of positive reviews were mind blowing

But now 😔

[tame comet]

Bitter sarcasm, I would say it was. But it may be the sad truth.

[sleek torrent]

🥲

Idk how tgc will manage the new platform wnd its new bugs

But they couldn't manage or add features in time on the two platforms

Sorry didn't meant to hurt anyone

But :/

[tame comet]

Getting your game to a console is a big achievement. It seems it got put on the back burner a few times though due to the huge, multiple delays.

[sleek torrent]

But if the console is even has as bad as Android that ain't gonna be okay

Cyberpunk flashbacks

[tame comet]

From what I saw so far, it look leagues better than Sky with a Snapdragon SoC... Then again, the GameCube looks better than sky on a Snapdragon SoC...

[karmic elk]

I hope after switch release they should make that priority

[sleek torrent]

But even if it had come to pc

Maybe with RTX 😳

Then to switch

Then other consoles

[karmic elk]

I think TGC is first porting the game to Switch because it's portablly. Switch is ARM and Android/iOS is ARM

And because of 2 years of development of the switch some like AA issue on snapdragon is not a priority because it's not a game break bug

[sleek torrent]

I have seen only a handful asking for switch whereas, in this channel and the questions and help, every 5 minutes someone asks for sky pc, even they have a skybot reply against emulator, yes thank you skybot, I know it by heart by now

[upper sail]

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

[karmic elk]

Seem they use all development power to release the Switch to Global fast as possible .

[sleek torrent]

If moths opened the game and said wow this is beautiful let me show it to my friends

Then oh

It's a GameCube 😂

[karmic elk]

It doesn't work like that. Switch and Android are not the same thing. Just like android and iOS

[sleek torrent]

I said about the Snap issues

[true trellis]

AA issue is to accommodate more players, right? Especially for those in a "midrange" spectrum?

[tame comet]

My Pixel 3a is a mid range device and it was perfectly fine. What we had were users with devices that were using bare minimum specs complaining about crashes in Sanctuary when taking screenshots. When I mean low end, I mean low end. 2Gb of RAM low end.

[true trellis]

I see, can't really blame them for optimizing it to low end smartphones since they want Sky to be available to almost everyone. And for them to experience a "less crashes" experience.

[sleek torrent]

But running sky on low end devices is a fire hazard

On any setting

[karmic mesa]

Not on my A20 lol

[sleek torrent]

Your fault 😂

[karmic mesa]

XD

[tame comet]

Higher end devices shouldn't suffer. That's just bad business. Edit: and the tanking GP reviews show that to be a fact.

[sleek torrent]

Does it support split screen?

[karmic mesa]

No?

[true trellis]

I made my lil bro try Sky on his A30 and it doesn't heat up badly too

[sleek torrent]

If yes, for the sake of science, run sky on one side and genshin on the other

But it's no

Aaaaaah

[karmic mesa]

Oh wait.. .Yeah it does support split screen

[sleek torrent]

Do it 😂😂😂😂

Only for 5 minutes lol

The plastic back will fall off

[karmic mesa]

I don't have genshin on my A20... But I can do it on my S20

[sleek torrent]

Because of heat

[sleek torrent]

There's a reason I'm saying a20

You could say you famous last words 😂

Also for the sake of it

[karmic mesa]

I've tested Genshin on my A20... It performs pretty bad.

[sleek torrent]

Disable thermal controls

[karmic mesa]

The S7 also performed fairly bad with Genshin due to overheating very very very quickly.

[tame comet]

Or just crank thermal throttle to ARM spec which is 75C

[sleek torrent]

You can turn any phone into an early S7

[karmic mesa]

The GPU in my laptop will idle at that temperature

Idle under load I mean

When it's not doing anything obviously it's not that hot

[sleek torrent]

Bruh

[karmic mesa]

What can I say... The RTX 2060 gets hot

[sleek torrent]

At this point you're just flexing you have a 2060 😂

[true trellis]

Yeah, fair point. Atleast Switch is on the way, while they try to come up with a possible "fix"

[sleek torrent]

TGC be like-Fix what's that?

[tame comet]

I highly doubt the AA bug on snapdragon will be fixed. It's been reported for ages. I mean, even just a simple GPU score check would suffice. If GPU score > 3000 = enable AA, else disable. Not too hard...

[karmic mesa]

ya

Or a setting to turn it off

[sleek torrent]

TGC-Whats this AA you keep talking about 😂😂

Give us advanced graphics option.

[tame comet]

If they don't know what AA is, we need to revoke their developer license

[sleek torrent]

And make it clear that it'll cause glitches and bugs

Jeez hire me 😂

I'm a certified critic

[tame comet]

My PC games from 2000 had AA

[sleek torrent]

TGC- oh I get it, but how are batteries and sky related?

[sleek torrent]

There's no proof that TGC is just made up of a bunch of krills and not developers

Conspiracy x100

[fast hearth]

hello and i found this sky video, it has slow motion moments which are 4x slowed (u can check out speeding it up back)
and these x4 slowed momets are clearly no less then 30 fps
that means origin is 120fps
So some devices do support sky at 120fps???
https://youtu.be/qkzuF4RqEkI

[sleek torrent]

There is a phone with theoretical 120fps

But the video could be something else

[fast hearth]

the video is 4:3 so its some tab ig

[sleek torrent]

Idk something with the editing

[tame comet]

There is a trick on iOS where when you enable in game video and tab out, you get that effect or something like that. This is the Android area, so it might be best to ask in #questions-and-help

[sleek torrent]

iPad pro refreshes at 120

[fast hearth]

actually it doesnt matter

its just screen

[sleek torrent]

And with all the new krill roles

It raises more suspicion

Ktjn once had a krill as pfp

[fast hearth]

ok

[tame comet]

What if the initiation of becoming a TGC employee was consuming so much darkness, you became a Krill?

[karmic mesa]

Lmao

I don't even know why I did this...

[karmic elk]

System: Non Supported Windowed app will contain glitches

DreamFyre: what about I do it anyway

[karmic mesa]

Yup

lol

[tame comet]

It just shows your device is way over specced and it's sad the game still looks so horrid on that phone compared to a mediatek made 2 years ago...

[karmic mesa]

Ya

True

[viscid terrace]

Thanks for reminding to give 1star review :p

[sleek torrent]

I am in extreme battery saving mode

I ran sky for like an hour and device isn't warm at all

Like

Just maybe 34°C

I ran at one thynderbolt

I can't tell if I have been playing sky it's that cool

No kidding!

I'm keeping it like this

Full run of wasteland + full vault

[karmic elk]

But if I am on low end device play sky and using this mode doesn't underclock the cpu?

[fast hearth]

can poco f3 run 60 fps??

[sleek torrent]

@fast hearth yes it does, it's I the list of affordable phones that run sky at 60fps

[sleek torrent]

I turned reduce cpu power to 70% off just for sky

[fast hearth]

will headphones be added on android too in the future? 🤔🤔

[hollow tree]

I want good screenshot more than headphone tbh😂

[tawny dagger]

yeah, what about it? it's a little thing that would means a lot for android users

[past arrow]

It's not little thing at all, because Android is handling audio in a very clumsy way and there are so many Android builds. It's now an android limitation. We will see if future android versions will be better for recognizing background audio of third party applications.

[lost scroll]

Can i play this game in 1080p?

[hollow tree]

In docked switch?

[lost scroll]

In android 🥴

This the highest graphics settings
Yet it's looking like 480p why!

My device:
Snapdragon 870
Adreno 650

[past arrow]

High end phones quality were sacrificed to make Sky available for midrange phones too. You can tell your opinion in #live-feedback and you can wish for better graphics in #wishlist-and-ideas-archived. The more we tell about it the more likely TGC will consider to find a solution

[lost scroll]

i just bought Poco F3 to play this game at full Graphics.
i think i should've buy a iPhone 🙂

[past arrow]

60fps or normal mode is better in several cases than high def mode

[lost scroll]

yeah.

[hardy steeple]

Does anybody know if the Samsung s21 5g is capable of doing 60fps for the game , like highest quality ?

Cause I'm getting a new phone in June and I'm having a hard time deciding .

[fast hearth]

What's this how u did that

[true trellis]

It's highly capable to run High Performance Mode 60fps

[fast hearth]

@sleek torrent what phone do u use?

[sleek torrent]

Hoy

It's a tab fortunately/unfortunately

Might upgrade next year to a flagship killer

[fast hearth]

U re like one of these mobile pros here so i decided to ask what u use

Just interesting

[sleek torrent]

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite

Got it for online classes as priority

Also for pubg mobile, never had sky in my mind

[fast hearth]

Is it capable of 60fps

[sleek torrent]

I almost got an iPad mini

[sleek torrent]

Lololololololololololol

It struggles for 15

🥲

[fast hearth]

Same

With my snap 636

Sony xperia 10 plus

[sleek torrent]

Lots of tweaking updates and careful planning later

I'm getting 24+

Even 42 at times

[fast hearth]

Wdym

What updates

[sleek torrent]

Android OS

Samsung Game launcher

Priority mode

Developer options

[fast hearth]

Oh Ic

Apps

Or smt

[sleek torrent]

Today I played sky without any heating

I'll try that again

It was like below 36 for sure

One hour of candle running

Maybe you can try it

[fast hearth]

After 15 minutes of sky my cpu is around 95°C

[sleek torrent]

What

The

Well

[fast hearth]

105°C was max

[sleek torrent]

Time to upgrade

😂

[fast hearth]

But phone turned off

[sleek torrent]

Want me to pull out the list 😂

[sleek torrent]

It better turn off

[fast hearth]

No cuz I have my own

It says

Hmm lemme check

It says buy only sony

K

[sleek torrent]

Why though

[fast hearth]

No notch, 21:9

[sleek torrent]

If strictly xperia only, get that mark II idk

[fast hearth]

Don't even try to show me some phone without 21:9 and with notch

[sleek torrent]

4k 120hz screen

[fast hearth]

Yes

[fast hearth]

Mark iii

II is last year version

[sleek torrent]

...

[fast hearth]

Like Mark II is 4k 60hz

From previous year

[sleek torrent]

Pretty sure no one in their right mind buys that 😂

The price

Better get an RTX 3090

[fast hearth]

Yes the price is big

[sleek torrent]

And wait for pc release 😂

[fast hearth]

But well if money only for rtx3090

It would be like

OK I have rtx3090

But where pc

[hardy steeple]

Okay i. Just want to make sure that i to won't lag or anything on the Samsung Galaxy s21, not the ultra but just the regular with 5g. I just need a good phones the phone i have rn can barely meet sky requirements

[fast hearth]

It has the best cpu in its line

[sleek torrent]

Which region are you from? Korea or US?

Asking because different regions get different CPUs

[sleek torrent]

Hmmmmm

[hardy steeple]

Me?

[sleek torrent]

Yes

[fast hearth]

Exynos 2100 and snap 888 both perform same in sky ig

[hardy steeple]

S21 has snapdragon 888

[sleek torrent]

Battery and warming

[fast hearth]

Snap 888 for us only

For other countries exynos 2100

[hardy steeple]

I am in the usa

[sleek torrent]

Be warned it has some screenshot issues if put in a simple way

[fast hearth]

OK when no problems

[sleek torrent]

No Korea has Snapdragon

Too

[fast hearth]

Oh wh

[hardy steeple]

But does it run very well then ?

[sleek torrent]

The best on Android

[fast hearth]

Yes

[hardy steeple]

Really good

S21 it is

Thank you guys

[sleek torrent]

Enjoy your new phone!

[hardy steeple]

I don't get it until june

But I'm exited

Excited

[sleek torrent]

Next month haha

Not that far off lol

[hardy steeple]

I was just having a hard time deciding on a phone

[true trellis]

Right on time for Switch Release 👍

[sleek torrent]

I was excited 3 months before I got my tab

[hardy steeple]

I'm getting s21 5g and with 256 gb

[true trellis]

Mood

[sleek torrent]

😂

[sleek torrent]

Good decision for sky,

Plenty of room for sky kid pics 😂

[fast hearth]

But it has hole in the screen

[sleek torrent]

Jeez

Chill out

[fast hearth]

Hole in the screen = not phone

[true trellis]

Nice! Be aware of AA issue tho if it's gonna be a SD variant, nevertheless, it's a beast of a device 👍

[sleek torrent]

Google Huawei Y9 Prime @fast hearth

[true trellis]

I kind prefer punch hole over a notch, since it's more minimalistic.

[sleek torrent]

My mother's phone, completely distraction free

[hardy steeple]

I was just worried whether it would be good or not of a phone that runs games well.

You solved my questions better than the internet

[sleek torrent]

Man it's the best!

[fast hearth]

Bruh motorized camera that prevents the phone being water resistant

[sleek torrent]

You're spoiled

[fast hearth]

Also kirin 710f, u want to fool me?

[sleek torrent]

I know just saying about the display

[true trellis]

Yeah, and before you know it, it's a thousand Sky pics

[fast hearth]

And ofc these ugly Chinese UIs

[sleek torrent]

It's worse than my tab

[fast hearth]

Oh wait

This phone has so called chin

More empty space on down side then on upper side

If it's same it's ok

If it's different no ok

Oh no

This phone has even rounded corners on screen

Omg

Bye huawei never go back

[true trellis]

It's one of the best when it comes to Android Platform, and on top of that it has Samsung Dex

[sleek torrent]

Yeah that's a plus

[true trellis]

Yeah

[sleek torrent]

I take few screenshots in sky

I never get them right lol

[fast hearth]

Bad boi

[fast hearth]

The Internet chases him, but he is faster

[sleek torrent]

I came to know sky from playstore 😂

I clicked out of curiosity and the rating was insanely high

So gave it a try lol

But wouldn't have installed if the current issues/ratings were there before

[hardy steeple]

Whats Samsung dex btw if i may ask?

[sleek torrent]

It's a windows like UI

That let's you connect a bigger screen

Or run it on the phone itself

A YouTube video might be a better answer for that

[hardy steeple]

Oh okie, i want to learn more about phones for future phone decisions and such and like what it all means

[sleek torrent]

Mhm

It's not very complicated but there are lots of stuff

We are always available and happy to help

[hardy steeple]

Thank you guys so much for the information it really settled picking out which phone to get, i was already planning on s21 but it was whether or not it ran games well that i was confused about.

[sleek torrent]

It will run any game at max settings

[hardy steeple]

Really?

[sleek torrent]

Yup

[hardy steeple]

So will it like along the lines of max settings on iphone 11 for sky?

[sleek torrent]

You name it, it runs it

[true trellis]

Just like what @sleek torrent it's a Windows-like UI, and you can hook it to a monitor and make it as your "computer" in a way.

[hardy steeple]

Woah that's so cool

[sleek torrent]

All the settings yes, but it will have an upscaled resolution unlike native

[hardy steeple]

I have an lg rn so I'm happy to be switching to samsung , a better phone lol

So like the resolution is better than?

[sleek torrent]

It's comparable to 12 pro max if you will

[sleek torrent]

A slight downgrade, but not very noticeable

[hardy steeple]

And based on resolution is that like the blurriness or not ?

[sleek torrent]

No blur that's for sure

[hardy steeple]

Okay

[sleek torrent]

In screenshots there will be a blocky mess, that's not samsung fault tho

[hardy steeple]

I play Sky on my old ipad and it runs super well but it's very blurry compared to stuff, but my lg phone i have rn is so laggy and it says before I start the game that it doesn't meet the requirements so it won't run well

[true trellis]

I can't think of any YouTuber that can give justice to explaining Samsung Dex since all tech YouTubers are pretty much Apple fun.

But try to check "Thao Huynh", imo, she's like an IJustine of Samsung Devices :SkyLOL:

[sleek torrent]

Oh then any improvement will be big for you

[hardy steeple]

Okay! I'll check her out when I'm done with class

[sleek torrent]

That girl who always smiles?

Idk lol

[true trellis]

Is it Ijustine or Thao Huynh?

[hardy steeple]

Yeah, that's why I was hyped to know it will be coming to The switch, because my devices suck, but I'm happy to know my future phone of next month will be a big improvement

[sleek torrent]

No the latter

[hardy steeple]

I gtg guys

[sleek torrent]

Yes it will be a major one

[hardy steeple]

I'll talk later !

[true trellis]

Yeah, now that I think about it, she does smiles a lot

[hardy steeple]

Once again thanks for the help

[sleek torrent]

The comments say she's the most cheerful lol

I too will be that cheerful if samsung sent me their stuff 😂😂

[true trellis]

Ohh, right she is tho, ngl. Very cheerful

[true trellis]

Mood

[sleek torrent]

😂😂

I want their smart fridge

No way mum's keeping that locked up 🤪🤪

[true trellis]

Play Sky on the Fridge

[sleek torrent]

Exactly!

[true trellis]

You wouldn't worry about it "heating up"

[sleek torrent]

That's the coolest device

Goes negative with sky

Sky freezers of the light

Will it run sky 🤔

Jokes apart

Hook me up with the specs

[true trellis]

Only one way to find out, buy the smart fridge

[sleek torrent]

It costs more than my house 😂😂

[true trellis]

Oooof 😂, jokes apart, I can't really say if it can run Sky either.

[sleek torrent]

I'll look it up sometime later, really sleepy lol

Going to get my dose of YouTube before sleep

Oh no wonder I haven't been seeing messages from them recently (i lurk here often )

[pearl jackal]

Maybe Cobalt just switched a account to prevent info leakage

[karmic elk]

Or he just got stream sniped

[river grotto]

[minor zealot]

Uhm hello there I'm not sure if this question actually related to this channel but is there any way to change my sky account(logged with old Gmail) to a new Gmail account? Thanks in advance for answers

[fleet mauve]

In the settings, go to the linking accounts page then press ‘unlink’ on the gmail page. then press ‘link’ again and choose your new account, my phone has been having glitches doing it but i hope you can do it, hope this helps

[minor zealot]

Thank you for explaining! Appreciate your helpp

[past arrow]

Is it possible with Gmail/new Gmail? Afaik it works only with other linking methods.

[pearl jackal]

I think not

[fleet mauve]

There’s an unlink button in the google page

[past arrow]

For example Gmail/Play store

[fleet mauve]

you’ll need to unlink your other one though

[past arrow]

Gmail/Gmail won't work @minor zealot I think for 2 reasons: even Support doesn't exchange Gmail to Gmail for security reasons and now the login UI is bugged as per #known-issues , for safety of your account I advise not to experiment with that until it's patched

[pearl jackal]

At least got your recovery code saved b4 any attempt

[minor zealot]

Alright ill try not to change my Gmail account first, thanks for telling!

[pearl jackal]

At least try it after you get the upcoming ts.. event if support can recover your account via code. It takes time

[past arrow]

The most safe way is to contact support in-game, but so far every time they responded they don't exchange Gmail link to prevent account theft or selling of accounts.

[minor zealot]

Ohh ohh I got another question what if I change from Gmail and link to Facebook will it also corrupt the save file?

[past arrow]

Changing from Gmail to Facebook is possible technically, after patch update fix it's for sure.

[minor zealot]

Okie dokie thanks for the answers!

[pearl jackal]

Dumb question. Let's say you change to IPhone and unlinked Gmail. What will happen to the IAPs that you made in GPlay?

[karmic elk]

Nothing, IAP is already in your save file on TGC server.

[minor zealot]

Sry for another weird question what if I changed my acc to fb and then change back to Gmail? The game wouldn't be corrupted right ?

[past arrow]

No, it shouldn't if the login UI is issue fee

[dawn moth]

I have a cape that used to be black but suddenly it turned red, somebody else?

[boreal tapir]

Yeah, Pleaful Parents' cape is a bug atm. #known-issues states it

[dawn moth]

Oh ok, thank you

[patent kernel]

How to check when you first downloaded sky on android?

[sleek torrent]

Are you on Samsung? @patent kernel

[patent kernel]

No, moto z⁴

[sleek torrent]

Hmm sorry, I can't help then

[patent kernel]

That's okay

[sleek torrent]

It's really convient on samsung

That's an old screenshot btw

[pearl jackal]

Check google setting. Sky will need permission to access your google account and it do log the date you join.

||it's the last day that crab call come back as ts||

[sleek torrent]

Do you have the netease version?

[karmic mesa]

Most Huawei devices are not going to be able to play sky due to the Google Play ban

[desert lodge]

Hi, I can't see any other players all of a sudden and every single friend I try to join it just says "this person is in a place you cannot go"

Any ideas what the issue is?

[karmic elk]

Restart your game

If doesn't help try to check your connection

[desert lodge]

Done this about seven times and the connection is solid

[wild lodge]

I can't select 60 fps why-?

[ancient horizon]

My friend owns a Galaxy J7 Crown (idk I think it’s android) and we’ve tried to check to see if it meets the minimum specs, but he’s unsure how to check- does anyone know if it’s compatible or not?

[tame comet]

Samsung J series phones aren't 64 bit. So, no. It will never be compatible

[past arrow]

Because your phone is not able to run demanding apps like Sky on 60fps in stable way.

[wild lodge]

oh-alright thank you

[thorny flicker]

Hi, i recently came back from my sky break for about 7 months, how can i play with my existing account:(

[stone tide]

Hi! Where do i go to report a bug? I just went to eden and I couldn't see the statues. I tried reconnecting and i still can't see them.

[surreal veldt]

1. You have went this week?
2. Eden has not reset yet

For android bugs you can report in #bug-reports-android

[stone tide]

i haven't done it yet this week. thank youu it's probably a bug

[true trellis]

Have you linked it to your email or something? Since it's 7 months then I guess linking it to Facebook was not possible yet, before.

[past arrow]

One more tip: Sunday was not this week and eden resets on Sunday. So if you have been there on Sunday it's normal you don't see statues.

[karmic elk]

!er

[upper sail]

The Eye of Eden resets once per week.
Next reset is on Sunday May 16 at 00:00 PDT (In 6 days 22 hours 30 minutes 43 seconds)
Did you know you can use the !edenreset or !er command in my DMs? Shorter cooldown there too.

[lilac field]

Hello I'm new and I can't change game language from Chinese
Am I stuck with it or there is any way to change it

[hollow tree]

If I'm not mistaken the game follows phone language

[karmic elk]

It is, you need to change your system language to change language in sky

Unsupported language will default to English

[lilac field]

Oh I'll try but still my system language is.. not Chinese
That's why I'm a little bit confused

[hollow tree]

Did you download the global version or the other one?

[lilac field]

Global version I think

Oh I probably had Chinese as second system language and that's why it picked this—

I'm sorry I'm probably just dumd and didn't notice

Thank you very much ^^

[surreal veldt]

You aren't dumb! No one is!

[lilac field]

I'm sorry for any troubles

[prime oasis]

/i had vietnamese as first system language and spanish as second, so since the game doesn't have viet supported it turned to spanish-

/i swear- i don't speak spanish and this phone isn't mine, i'm not allowed to switch it back and i have NO IDEA what the tutorial says ever since enchantment

[fast hearth]

When I want to send a heart to a friend it will say seasonal heart or something like that. Is that a bug? Should I report it or is it already known?

[sleek torrent]

@fast hearth huh?

Nothing is wrong with screenshot

[fast hearth]

It's saying the same thing, but with seasonal hearts and candles. When I send a gift, it will use normal candles and give them a normal heart

Ah sorry! Just realized it's all good! Got confused because of the orange :')

My bad!

[sleek torrent]

Ah that's it

It's fine ;)

I was wondering lol text bugs aren't really a thing

[gleaming falcon]

Do my flowers appear like this cuz I have android?

When I move camera up, flowers disappear. It makes my sky ugly and am quite sad about seeing no flowers

I used to love praire for its colorfullness but now... it is just green and empty, ugly. Is it bug? Should i report it?

[prime tangle]

That definitely doesn't happened to my android phone. Or at least, not that I noticed

You could send in a bug report for the visual bug

[karmic elk]

Who remove the grass

[hollow tree]

Ohh someone else asked this too before😲

Didn't happen in my screen tho bug reports?

[prime oasis]

/uglyyyyy- i want the flowers

[fast hearth]

do switch perform better than phones on a14 bionic or sd888?

sd888 and a14 give much better results in benchmarks than switch

[hollow tree]

For Sky i think better pick iOS cuz picture quality is

Switch isn't that powerful i think

[sleek torrent]

256 core GPU

[fast hearth]

u know u can count 2 transistors as core

so lemme check gpu results too

[fast hearth]

still adreno 660 (sd888) is 80% better than tegra x1 maxwell gpu

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Tegra-X1-Maxwell-GPU-vs-Adreno-660_6152_10603.247598.0.html

[hollow tree]

Ye switch is 4 years old

[fast hearth]

older than me

[fast hearth]

No

Well yes picture is

But apple devices bruh ugly and average hardware (screen, battery etc)

[karmic mesa]

The difference would be optimization.

TGC would only have to optimize for one chipset when making sky for the Switch

[brisk zinc]

Anyone else who does not have the performance mode (60fps) on their device? I can only go up to 30fps

[karmic mesa]

That's likely because your device was not deemed powerful enough to run at 60 FPS

[prime oasis]

/welcome to the server, and yea, lower end phones cant run 60

[brisk zinc]

Is this lower end?

[past arrow]

Only a very few devices can run 60fps Sky in a stable way. You can check 60fps compatible GPU list here in pins.

[brisk zinc]

Okay. Thanks a lot!

[karmic mesa]

That device should be able to play sky at 60 FPS. In fact there are many devices that have the same chipset that do run 60 FPS.

[brisk zinc]

Sad, its not working on my device /:

[past arrow]

CPU is not everything. You need a decent GPU to be able to run Sky smoothly on high fps.

[karmic mesa]

Fortunately for him his phone has a decent GPU

If you look at that screenshot he just showed it shows that he's running on the Snapdragon 855

[brisk zinc]

I also see that my device runs Adreno 640

[past arrow]

GPU is not CPU (CPU is snapdragon)

[karmic mesa]

My only guess is that something isn't checking out and Sky is not able to verify your hardware. If Sky doesn't recognize the hardware it defaults to its lower version.

[brisk zinc]

Could this be a bug? I checked pinned post and my device meets everything.

[past arrow]

What GPU your device has?

[karmic mesa]

The Snapdragon 855 is an SoC it comes preloaded with the GPU and the CPU on the same chip.

[brisk zinc]

Adreno 640

[karmic mesa]

Every Snapdragon 855 on the planet will have an Adreno 640 paired with it

[past arrow]

It's really interesting then

It might worth a try to report it as a bug, but as TGC staff Ktjn stated some versions don't support 60fps.

[brisk zinc]

Looks like I'll be needing a newer phone with better chipset |:

[karmic mesa]

I don't think the issue is the age of your device. I think Lenovo may not have did something right with their phone.

I'm sure Uzephi could probably point out what it could be.

👀

[past arrow]

I thought the same

[karmic mesa]

Uzephi is most likely sleeping right now...

[brisk zinc]

Alright. Thank you, both of you!

[fast hearth]

But what if he lives on another planet?

[karmic mesa]

Maybe it'll have the Adreno 641

[fast hearth]

Be like

Snapdragon

[sleek torrent]

855 isn't old and should do well in sky, I guess dming helpbot could help

[true trellis]

Hmmmm, SD 855 is still considered a "beast" chipset up to today's standards, isn't it?

Might I ask? What "level" are you at on Sky Graphics? Maybe you overlooked that it is 'High Performance Mode 60fps' when you toggled it really fast. It should be like this ⚡⚡for 60fps as far as I know.

[karmic elk]

Go buy an iPhone SE

Suffering the camera but great playing sky in a tiny screen

[past arrow]

...and adios battery on iPhone SE. I don't understand the suffering camera statement too. It makes decent photos and excellent videos on tests. An iPhone xr is still better for this money with bigger screen and better battery life

[true trellis]

There's already a lot of Flagship Killer Phones with the same, cheaper even, price point as SE 2020

[tame comet]

Most flagship killer phones have a Snapdragon and suffer from the AA bug though, so for the same price, you get worse quality.

[patent kernel]

Man I'm really hoping the no anti aliasing bug gets fixed, I hate it with a burning passion

[tame comet]

I gave up on waiting. It's obvious the AA bug that is tanking their Google Play reviews isn't a priority. I'm just going to switch to the Switch version in a month and never use Sky on my phone again.

[sleek torrent]

Bye Uzephi

See you on switch questions 😂

But one question

Does this AA affect normal gameplay or just screenshots

[hollow tree]

I think gameplay too. Isn't it weird if it's only affecting screenshot?

[sleek torrent]

I am not sure but the boosting in the screenshot might be causing it

[hollow tree]

Ooh yea someone did mention their ingame screenshot looks worse than native screenshot😲

Cuz ingame screenshot looks really jagged

[brisk zinc]

I dont have an option to go ⚡⚡⚡

[hollow tree]

That's really weird i have SD845 i can go ⚡⚡⚡

[sturdy sandal]

Hello! I have a question, is there any word on official Oculus Quest 2 support? The android app works when side-loaded, so it doesn't seem like it would take too much to enable the use of the Quest 2 controllers, and be able to look around in 3D. It doesn't even need to be first person (I would argue it shouldn't be), just the ability to look around in 3D as though you "are" the camera. This doesn't seem like it would take a lot to enable by modifying the existing android build. And this would quickly make this a huge hit on the Quest

[true trellis]

That's weird, afaik, SD 855 (Adreno 640) should be able to run High Performance Mode 60fps. My cousin has Samsung S10 Lite and she can toggle it to High Performance Mode 60fps.

            :Energy Saving Mode (Low Res) 

⚡ : Default Mode 30fps
⚡⚡ : High Performance Mode 60fps
⚡⚡⚡: High Def Mode 30fps

[hollow tree]

I don't think there's been any announcement about that They seem to be preparing for Switch version now, will launch in June

[sturdy sandal]

This seems like a no-brainer to do. While I admit I am not game developer, I can't imagine that it would take a great deal to unlock 3D viewing from the "camera" position and enable Quest 2 controllers. And it would open up an entire console with minimal effort

[hollow tree]

Maybe not in their priority list yet?

[tame comet]

I wouldn't want to play Sky on an Oculus Quest or Quest 2... Snapdragon = bad times.

[sturdy sandal]

It plays just fine, seamless.

[tame comet]

The aliasing lines would drive me nuts

[sturdy sandal]

There are none that I can see on a quest 2

It looks gorgeous

[tame comet]

They already drive me nuts on Android to the point I have to limit my play time.

[hollow tree]

Do many people actually have that oculus quest at home?

[sturdy sandal]

Yeah, it was one of the most popular consoles last holiday season

They sold tons of them

Everyone trapped at home wanted to get out in vr haha

[hollow tree]

In the US?

[sturdy sandal]

yep

[sleek torrent]

Forget VR

They can't even fix AA

[tame comet]

Roughly 2-3 million Oculus Quest 2s sold in Q4 2020 compared to the 73 million sales on Switch's lifetime of 4 years.

[sturdy sandal]

I can see why they'd prioritize the Switch, however given that the android app runs perfectly on the quest, it'd seem like a relatively minor investment to modify the existing android app, to open up a whole new console

minimal effort, with considerable gain

[sleek torrent]

You don't know TGC man

[sturdy sandal]

The average Quest 2 high end game runs about 29 dollars

[sleek torrent]

🥲

[sturdy sandal]

That's a lot of cash return for having maybe one dev work on it for a couple weeks as a side project

easy money

[sleek torrent]

Ha

We had to wait for like a year for audio toggles

[sturdy sandal]

Hahaha

[sleek torrent]

[sleek torrent]

Yup, theoretically

[sturdy sandal]

That's sweet

[sleek torrent]

Theoretically you can play sky at 120 on a phone

Theoretically doesn't mean it will, but it should be able to

[sturdy sandal]

I'd be curious to hear of people's results.

[sleek torrent]

But since an ipad has M1 now

Mac should

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)

what's the recommended phone specs that will give you a smooth playing experience? cause i'm experiencing a lot of lags lately and i'm wondering if it's my phone, my connection, or the game itself?

[hollow tree]

Is your phone on the low end?

There are list of minimum specs for 60fps pinned here in this channel

[molten coral]

im playing on huawei p20. tho the ram is only 4gb. is that possibly the main problem?

[hollow tree]

Someone made recommendation too holdup lemme find

@molten coral

[molten coral]

thank you

[true trellis]

Huawei P20 is still good, however it's a somewhat "old" device. Apart from what kind of device and network, I think "lagness" may have also something to do with how much storage space you have left on your phone.

I use Huawei Nova 5T and it's really good at Sky. There's also Huawei P30/P30 Pro (both of which is still supported by Google) and there are other brands to look at too: Realme, Oneplus, Xiaomi (tho, I think I've read somewhere that Xiaomi may be on the verge of losing GPS support 🤔 but I could be wrong here, so don't read too much into it 😅), Samsung, Google, etc.

[molten coral]

would you happen to know if there's an ideal percentage of free storage that one should have for a smoother play?

[true trellis]

I can't say I have a good recommendation in regards to "how much percentage on storage space..... " but I'll provide my opinion on what I try to maintain on each of my device, I try to atleast have 20-30% free space on ROM. Regardless if it's for Gaming purposes and whatnot.

[shy tartan]

why when I play sky, fps is always 30 ?? I want 60 fps :( and it lags a lot when playing at 30 fps :(

[viscid terrace]

If you're device lags on 30fps, imagine what would happen if they allow 60fps!!!

[viscid terrace]

Xiaomi losing gps support? Can I get explanation for that?

[true trellis]

By GPS I meant, Google Play Services and I once read an article in regards to that, I forgot what site and whatnot but it is just a "possibility"

[viscid terrace]

Okay

[true trellis]

Don't read too much into it and my brain might be in bonkers at the time I read it

[molten coral]

thank you

@tidal mesa please don't spam off-topic pictures here or in others servers

[tidal mesa]

@edgy crag ok got it sorry about that

[karmic elk]

[lone glacier]

What kind of questions should I ask here

[split rock]

Good afternoon! I have had a problem for several versions of the game. I can join all my friends except one friend I play the most in Sky

[past arrow]

It's most likely their connection. It's weak or it has package dropouts so you are unable to join.

How to get the ear phone in sky

[fervent stone]

!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)

[fervent stone]

There are the red earmuffs too. That one you can get from ts.

[fast hearth]

Ooo

Thank u

[sleek torrent]

😆 hehe

[jovial steeple]

Does the piggyback interaction is bugged to y'all too? 🤡

I just reported this bug, but I wanted to ask

[prime tangle]

What kind?

[jovial steeple]

The first level one
When I fly and then stop, my friend it's not on my shoulders, it's on MY FRONT it's so funny but embarrassing at the same time

[vernal compass]

Piggy back can be kind of wonky sometimes, especially if the friend sitting on the shoulders uses emotes while doing it. They may fix it eventually, but it's probably low priority

[prime tangle]

That's kinda common I think. It looked like your friend is off your shoulders, right?

[jovial steeple]

yep

[jovial steeple]

Oh, ok I understand it

thank you!

[twin hazel]

Ay is there a way to bump my fps to 60 my gameplay looks more like a slideshow than an actual video game

[prime tangle]

If your phone supports it

[twin hazel]

e

[vernal compass]

Yeah, 60fps is only available on some devices, it depends on what kind of processor you have and some other factors. If the game won't let you go that high it means your device can't handle it well enough

[tame comet]

If it's already a slide show, putting the game to 60 fps wouldn't help. You need a more powerful device. Sky is a pretty demanding game.

[open light]

Presenting 60fps for Android, why can't I use 60fps? My cellphone has met the requirements

[hollow gulch]

My phone gets really hot when I play on low res,but it seems fine when I play on high resolution. Does anyone experience the same thing?

[tame comet]

Depending on how new your model is compared to their database they reference for device rating, it might not be there yet. What device is it?

[fast hearth]

hi, im running realme c3 helio g70

my resolution is very low

any workarounds

[hollow tree]

Try to change the graphic settings in game (battery icon with ⚡⚡⚡)

[fast hearth]

it only runs on 2 high dp but still blurry

[fast hearth]

How can i make 3 graphic

Because it's blurry

[prime tangle]

if your phone supports it

[hexed fjord]

help, my partner disappears when we pass through eden entrance

[hollow tree]

Reunite at home and go back together

[winged thistle]

I remember I saw before the requirements to have ⚡ ⚡ ⚡ 60fps, someone know where it is?

[hollow tree]

Check the pins in this channel 📌

[winged thistle]

Thank you, I found it.
So just says 60 FPS but says nothing about if it's at the highest resolution
It is available on Android to have the highest resolution at 60 FPS?
I have the adreno 650 (Snapdragon 865), but the highest resolution it's only at 30 FPS

Sorry, I did not let myself understand well.
I get ⚡⚡⚡ but at 30 FPS, I wonder if on Android you can get ⚡⚡⚡ at 60 FPS

[hollow tree]

Wait i read wrong lmao
Sorry idk about that. Mine ⚡⚡⚡ only 30fps too😂

[winged thistle]

Hahah thank you anyway
I hope someone can answer, I want it just to record a small gameplay, I usually play at ⚡ 30FPS, to not drain the battery :sweat_smile:

[keen torrent]

so uh when do androids get exclusives, 😭

[hollow tree]

Wdym? We have minecraft graphic exclusive

[gentle socket]

I'm unable to really play the game because of this bug.
#bug-reports-android message
The issue has been happening on login several times recently. Restarting the game does not help. Tested my touchscreen, no ghost inputs. Controller isn't drifting either. (Also happens without the controller too.) It doesn't seem to get resolved after a fresh device restart either. Doubt it's related to ghost inputs, as my character goes idle and to sleep when I leave the game open. Any suggestions?

[past arrow]

Try to clean thoroughly your touchscreen. Download and try a few touchscreen test apps.

[tame comet]

I'm surprised the Nokia 6.2 is compatible with Sky. How well does the game play on the Adreno 509?

[gentle socket]

I have thoroughly cleaned and tested my touchscreen. Issues still arise.

Just did a touchscreen test right now, and no ghost taps.

[gentle socket]

Not that great. Resolution isn't that good, and framerate is borderline acceptable, at 2 bars.

In the bug report, you can see a pretty accurate story on how it runs.

[hollow gulch]

Sometimes,when I login into the game,I keep seeing the connection error,even if my connection is stable. Is this happening to anyone too?

[hollow tree]

Sometimes it's the server i think. But i didn't experience anything like that today

[fast hearth]

Can u play sky in t707?

[prime oasis]

/that's - i dont think flip phones can run sky?

[fast hearth]

If i open blue tooth its t707 and then i go to about phone it said
realme C15

[prime oasis]

/have you tried checking the gg store?

[sleek torrent]

gg store?

Expand please

[prime oasis]

/google store?

/the goo-gle store- lmao- some stuff just dont translate well huh

[prime oasis]

/okay- so i just check the bug report page and there are several bug reports using the realme c15- not sure about the t707 part- but that means there are people playing sky on the realme c15

[hollow tree]

gg store that sounds funny

[prime oasis]

/which means-- you can use the realme c15 to play sky!

[prime oasis]

/yeaaaa us vietnamese hate typing google so we just- gg
sometimes some dude from outside the coutry came and thought it's like good game store

[gentle socket]

The Bluetooth name is usually randomized. It's just to identify that device to others. It's completely irrelevant. Always use the device model in Settings -> About phone if you need to provide it to someone.

[hollow tree]

What is t707? I googled and found discontinued flip phone that was released in 2009

[gentle socket]

The experience should be manageable with the Realme C15. Not the best, probably won't even say good, but serviceable. Has a similar-specced SoC to mine, except by MediaTek.

[gentle socket]

Random identifier.

[prime oasis]

/same that's why i said this

[karmic elk]

Flip phones play sky. Are you gonna watch a PowerPoint Slide Show of Sky game play aren't you?

[gentle socket]

lol.

I guess you could play on a flip phone if you had the Galaxy Z Flip. Technically still a flip phone.

https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-z-flip/

[fast hearth]

No you can't. The thunder bolts represents different graphical settings. For example, with no thunder bolts it is at energy saving mode, then 30 fps (default), high end 60 fps, and high dev at 30 fps. I'm still pretty to the game, but from what I can tell it only has four different graphical settings you can select.

[gentle socket]

You can, actually. But there's a whitelist of phones.

Only certain high-end phones are whitelisted for max quality at 60 FPS.

[fast hearth]

Isn't that just the double lighting bolt tho? (I have a Samsung s10 + and I have thought that was the best to play the game on.)

[prime oasis]

/three bolts settings are available with some phones

[fast hearth]

Oh I get it. I do apologize and thank y'all.

[gentle socket]

@fast hearth, just saw your message now. The S10 is 2 years old at this point. It's not the best to play the game on anymore. I remember I saw a post here somewhere about whitelisted phones for 60 FPS, max settings. Need to find it again.

[fast hearth]

Ah I gotcha.

[true trellis]

I use Huawei Nova 5T, which according to the list, can run 60fps and this is what I see on my Sky graphics toggle.

            :Energy Saving Mode (Low Res) 

⚡ : Default Mode 30fps
⚡⚡ : High Performance Mode 60fps
⚡⚡⚡: High Def Mode 30fps

[winged thistle]

Tell me if you find the list please 😺

Do you remember any model phone from the list? That could be a keyword to find it

[wide mural]

Uh, it seems contacting TGC didn't work for me so...
Recently my friend decided to join me in Sky, but he ran into a problem. After launching the game, it crashed right after the TGC logo. Relaunching the app didn't work either. It is known that he has some issues with his phone storage, can it be the reason?
His phone model is Honor 7A DUA-L22, Android system version 8.1.0, 2 GB RAM, core is MT6739. It should at least work somehow I think (minimal specs), since as I understood the only thing that is not quite right is the Vulkan version (1.0 instead of 1.0.3, just like my phone, and for me it looks pretty much fine).

[gentle socket]

Minimum specs does not mean that it will work in all scenarios. Did it show the warning on first launch about a non-optimal experience?

Because that phone is really the bottom of what could run it if it worked its butt off.

[wide mural]

No, because it didn't really show it at all, since the game crashed at the company logo every time.

[gentle socket]

Uninstall the app and reinstall it. (Alternatively, erase app storage in App Settings.) Does it launch at all?

[pale lintel]

Yeah that CPU/GPU doesn't seem like something that would run it very well, if at all. Also 2GB RAM isn't really that far off the very minimum 1.5GB requirement, so running out of memory when loading could also be a problem

[sleek torrent]

Motorola Razr ha

[karmic elk]

[sleek torrent]

^ 😂

[gentle socket]

Say, did that phone come with Google Play Services? I think some Honor phones did not. If it did not come with Google Play Services and is not Google Play Protect Certified, the app will not run at all. @wide mural

Remember, this is a very graphically demanding game. Running it on your 5 year old potato in a drawer will NOT work at all.

[sleek torrent]

Objection!

[gentle socket]

Phone graphics have improved alot in the past few years. Even a flagship from 5 years ago might not be able.

[gentle socket]

I bet you could run it if you wired up enough potatoes to charge a S20 or something.

[sleek torrent]

Oneplus one should run sky

It's from 2k14

[gentle socket]

Never got Android 8.

[sleek torrent]

But yes drastic improvements

[sleek torrent]

It has 10 now

[gentle socket]

https://m.gsmarena.com/oneplus_one-6327.php

It never got Android 8, how would it get 10?

[sleek torrent]

Oneplus did some idk loyalty something and let people upgrade

And that happend just a month after we sold the oneplus

🥲

[gentle socket]

Was that a custom ROM or an official update?

[sleek torrent]

Official

[wide mural]

Yep. It did come tho, since I asked my friend to check for it.
Also, trying to reinstall the game right now. I still think though that it might be something to do with storage usage and memory (since I literally have a model of the phone that is not better and yeah... it runs and is pretty much playable until you realize you can't play on high settings).

[sleek torrent]

Sky is the crysis of android

[gentle socket]

Hmmm. Interesting. Still, the vast majority of phone manufacturers won't support a phone like that. Hence why I said most flagships. Guess that's the exception. Not the rule.

[sleek torrent]

Yup, the first Oneplus phone was easily easily best phone I used

But now oneplus is no longer what it used to be

[gentle socket]

Which model do you have?

[wide mural]

So, he reinstalled the game, didn't work, just as clearing the app cache.
He'll probably try to clear his phone storage.
I have the same model, interestingly, and to check recently tried to run the game from my sibling's phone (Honor 9 Lite), that is kiiiinda better in terms of running Sky, but it still was pretty much playable.

So I don't know, maybe it is the problem with his storage use.

[gentle socket]

How much free space does he have?

Oh, and does he have alot of apps running in the background?

[wide mural]

For now only 2 GB (can't erase some things for now), in total there is 16 GB.
And he didn't have anything running in the background.

[gentle socket]

IIRC, up to 3 GB are required to download some objects in the background.

#android-questions message

Try telling him to free up a GB of space by uninstalling old apps, then try again. @wide mural

[wide mural]

Okay, so he told me for now he can't really delete anything (some personal situation with it as I can understand). If he will be able to free more space and it still won't work, I'll probably write there again if it's fine.
Thank you for helping anyway!

Does anybody play Sky here in Xiaomi Redmi Note 8? If so hows the performance?

Do a search here using the magnifier icon I'm sure you'll find results. Otherwise this topic is not so crowded as gen chat

um is this the place to ask about Samsung related questions regarding the game?

Tell device model exactly Most Samsungs are able to run Sky but for example J series are 32 bit only

well that last bit made no sense to me but my phone is an s6

i just the other chat and checked my compatablity after someone sent the link, it seems my phone isent compatable :-; thank you so much for your help tho

[coarse inlet]

Is it better to let the phone dying out (0% battery) or charging after it gets into red zone (15% battery)?

[tame comet]

Optimal battery levels are between 50 and 75%. Any lower or higher will cause more stress on the battery and reduce it's life quicker.

[sleek torrent]

They took android questions literally 😂

I almost always charge to 80% :)
