[hallow sentinel]

Thanks all, but If I have a budget ?

[tame comet]

Any low end tablet won't be powerful enough for Sky or the manufacturer would cheap out and not make it 64 bit or not include Vulkan. Onn is an example of both of those things.

[karmic mesa]

Onn and Lenovo have some of the cheapest crappiest tablets I've ever seen... You can't forget the almighty RCA tablets as well

[hallow sentinel]

Ooooh okay I see ! It's like mobile phone...you need to buy something expensives to play sky

Thanks all 😊

[karmic mesa]

Yes, but worse... Tablets are way more expensive than phones with the same hardware

[tame comet]

If you're on a budget, I'd suggest a Tab S5. You won't get 60fps, but it should play Sky fine. It has the same Snapdragon chip my Pixel 3a uses.

[karmic mesa]

Ya

[tame comet]

You might be able to find one second hand for a decent price. (Tab S5)

[hallow sentinel]

I see thanks guys

[karmic mesa]

Tho I think it's officially called the Galaxy Tab S5 lite

Which has always confused me

[hallow sentinel]

I go in a store and they rexommand this tab

[tame comet]

ah, I forgot the e at the end... Tab S5e

[karmic mesa]

Oh e

Right

They don't have a normal tab S5 it's tab s5e

[hallow sentinel]

Okay don't worry, I'm so glad you help me all

Thanks u guys

[sleek torrent]

Yup there is no tab s5

Just e

Budget tablet would be always ipads for sky

M1 ipad

[karmic mesa]

I'm still freaking out over the m1 iPad... Like really Apple... They didn't have the will to create a new SOC so they just put one they knew was powerful...

[sleek torrent]

Saw the iPad mini 6 rumors?

Iffff they give it a 120hz screen

It'd be the best tablet in the market

Even for $600

[tame comet]

for 600 USD, someone can just wait for the new switch coming out and play sky in 4K, though...

[karmic mesa]

Ooo

[sleek torrent]

Haha not just for sky

[karmic mesa]

Assuming you had a 4K TV

[sleek torrent]

Sky won't run 120

Apple nailed the design and specs

[karmic mesa]

I'm currently on vacation and the vacation house has a 4K HDR TV just sitting there... So of course I'm going to hook up my handy dandy laptop and go to town.

That's cool

[sleek torrent]

Just a 120hz screen and it becomes an enthusiast level device

Wait what's that

Looks like something a mini led or lcd would do

[karmic mesa]

That's HDR Highlighting my mouse

[sleek torrent]

Lol

[karmic mesa]

That's on an 85 inch flat screen 4K TV

[sleek torrent]

I'd steal it

[karmic mesa]

Nah

[sleek torrent]

Who wants a TV anyway lol

[tame comet]

Imagine Sky on that...

[sleek torrent]

I was in forgotten ark

[karmic mesa]

I really want to...

[sleek torrent]

And I could see stuff being rendered and derendered

As I move the screen

Never had that before

[karmic mesa]

My dock can output to 4K... So if this game actually rendered at native res I could have seen it at 4K

But it don't

Sadly

But... I could get a screenshot

:0

I should

[tame comet]

Yeah, if TGC is weary of enabling native res, the least they could do is use a good super sampler in their engine.

[sleek torrent]

Sky is falling apart and band aids ain't doing the job

Will need a full redesign if you ask me

[karmic mesa]

I hope the switch release blows me away... But the switch beta isn't looking too promising...

[sleek torrent]

A krill bug caused to to loose 4 stars

[fast hearth]

Don't bother buying Tab S5e though, I have it and frankly saying the frames would start dropping after 1.5 hours of gaming

[sleek torrent]

1,5

That's how much minutes before I lag

[tame comet]

#blamesamsung my Pixel 3a has the same hardware and I have no issues in Sky, besides the wide spread ones.

[karmic mesa]

xD

I bet I could make it baby smooth for hours on end

[sleek torrent]

Did you guys hear that Samsung is gonna make Snap 890

[fast hearth]

I speed run and the tablet gets hot that time, frames are bound to drop, SD 670 can't handle that fierce of a spedrun

[tame comet]

I could too. I bet my kernel would run on the S5e also.... Adreno boost and all...

[sleek torrent]

I do too

Specially priarie

Can't do anything in vault because of lag

[fast hearth]

Well I shared my experience, SD 670 isn't made for Sky, I fact any SD 600 series would be crap for it

[sleek torrent]

Let alone speedrunning

[tame comet]

My SD670 plays it fine. Don't blame the chip if your manufacturer can't make it as good as the competition.

[karmic mesa]

Samsung is heavy on software modifications and bloatware

[fast hearth]

I have my views, agree to disagree.. I tested Sky on Pixel 4a as well and the frames dropped after 1 hour as well..

[karmic mesa]

But

[sleek torrent]

Let's do a thing, we all pool money and buy Snapdragon 890 directly from Qualcomm 🤣

[karmic mesa]

Samsung also puts a lot of work into optimizations and has a lot of features specific toward gaming.

[sleek torrent]

We make the most bloatware free and fastest UI xD

Single handedly destroyed the whole market

[karmic mesa]

So if those features were manipulated properly you could get the maximum performance out of that device. I'm guessing your frame drops were due to overheating. Which can be easily subdued with a fan.

[fast hearth]

I can't help it if you got an exceptionally nice phone.. I'm talking about the rest..

[sleek torrent]

Silicon lottery

[karmic mesa]

That's a thing

xD

I have a great example of two phones with the simular hardware but completely different incasings that definitely affect the performance. The S20 FE versus the Note 20. The FE starts overheating after about 30 minutes of play but the note 20 starts to overheat after about 3 or 4 hours of play.

[fast hearth]

And I think there is a general consensus out there that SD 600 series are NOT MEANT FOR GAMING

[tame comet]

I don't think that's the case at all since my GF has had 2 replacement Pixel 3a's due to one warranty (camera focus issue on 3a's and 3's) and an insurance replacement. I better get a lottery ticket if 4 different phones in my hand all played Sky perfectly fine for hours on end, even while screen recording, but it's "silicon lottery."

[sleek torrent]

Samsung was advertising galaxy F62 as having the flagship 9825

The real 9825 in the note series is really good

But the one in this budget device is trash

[karmic mesa]

I think simply putting a fan behind your tablet would fix your frame drop issue.

[fast hearth]

I don't know about yours, I don't like the SD 600 series to be honest.. I can even show you a video where the PUBG test for Pixel 4a failed miserably whereas the Poco X2 gave consistent frames even after a while

[sleek torrent]

It's not frame drop now.... from the beginning it's bad

Looks every pixely now

[karmic mesa]

I was talking about on the SD 670

[sleek torrent]

Oh lol

[fast hearth]

I'm not coming down on hardware, I'm saying SD 600 series are NOT for gaming, and don't try to berate my views @tame comet if it runs for you, good but we all have a hard time with the SD 670, and it's a general consensus

[tame comet]

Oh, that's right, most people use battery power when playing. Try battery Idle mode. No overheating.

[karmic mesa]

I still overheat daring battery idle mode... But that might be because I'm running on a phone with the 865 and the world's tiniest heat pipes...

Sad

But I put a fan behind it so I don't really notice

[sleek torrent]

Get a water cooling case from aliexpress

[tame comet]

A nice underclock and undervolt helps immensely also, since Sky doesn't use the CPU that much.

[fast hearth]

And don't dare putting on a war like Pixel vs Samsung.. @tame comet every brand has some pros and cons

[tame comet]

The day Samsung stops putting bloatware on otherwise decent devices, I'll stop smack talking Sammy... until then...

[karmic mesa]

Well... If Samsung and Google were to actually get along with each other the Samsung phones would be the ultimate winner. It's because Samsung is at war with Google and cannot escape Google's operating system that's causing them to perform worse. Since Google is the manufacturer of Pixel they get to control every aspect of how it functions. Innately getting an apple-like experience.

[fast hearth]

Lol Google doesn't have even half of the features which One UI has in built, I dare you to start a war and you'll regret

[fast hearth]

Don't shame other's hardware and software if you can't respect them

[karmic mesa]

There is a way to debloat Samsung devices at least temporarily.

Without root access

[fast hearth]

And the things which you call as bloatware, I have a use for each one of them.. only fools call Samsung apps bloatware

[tame comet]

I can't respect them. They don't follow GNU licensing on open source, and when they do present source code for things they are legally required to do, the code is so shoddy and broken, you can't even properly upstream a kernel without pulling your hair out on all the merge issues.

[karmic mesa]

I am an avid Samsung user... I'd say my most used Samsung applications would be the Samsung calculator, game plugins, gallery, and phone... 👀
But then again I'm a boring person.

[fast hearth]

You can't respect them doesn't mean the other users who are using them are fools.. stay the crap out if here if all you do is shame other people's devices

[tame comet]

Uh, no ty. I'll stay right here.

[fast hearth]

Yea whatever

Even I can say Apple software sucks.. I can't torrent anything without jailbreaking, I can't install third party apps.. it's just that it's not according to my need. I have immense respect for the Apple ecosystem and hadn't been my frequent use of torrenting things, I would have opted for iPadOS anytime

You are free to keep whatever views you have, you have the right to correct anyone's fault.. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO DOWNGRADE AND SHAME ANYONE'S VIWES ABOUT SOMETHING

[karmic mesa]

It's best to keep things civil

[tame comet]

Let's read back... I recommended the Tab S5e due to it having a decent chipset that can at least run sky. You came in here and said it ran like crap on your own device, belittling it's processor. I claimed the processor is fine due to my Pixel 3a running Sky perfectly fine with the same SD 670. Please be aware of the situation before throwing accusations around. Yes, I don't like Samsung's Android line. I don't respect their views on closing source code they are legally obligated to share. I also don't like having a bunch of non-essential apps pre-loaded onto my phone, which is why I stay away from Sammy. We have our different views, but please don't throw visceral comments on someone else's opinion. It's easy to just stop and move on. I'm done with this topic and per your feedback, I will stop recommending the Tab S5e to anyone.

[fast hearth]

You are throwing comments and disrespecting other views, I'll say SD 670 is bad, I DON'T LIKE IT.. MY VIEWS, MY OPINION.. and you started the blame game first dude

You blamed it on the manufacturer

I don't have any other problem with Tab S5e, PUBG, Call of Duty, Even Genshin Impact runs fine on it dude

Did I say anything about your Pixel 3a???

You were the first to shame my views and blame it on my manufacturer

You are just putting my views down..

And throwing comments

I'll still, say SD 670 is not good enough, do whatever you want, nobody asked for your opinion on my views, you can just say your views and move on after, DON'T YOU DARE BLAME IT ON ME, MY DEVICE AND MY MANUFACTURER

[karmic mesa]

I'll still recommend the Tab S5e for anyone who wants a relatively affordable tablet for multimedia, light to medium gaming, and drawing. Obviously there are better choices for all of the above but as an all-round a tablet it's not bad.

Currently Samsung and Apple are the only two major contenders of the tablet department anyway

[fast hearth]

I wouldn't recommend it for drawing though, it doesn't have an S Pen support, and therefore, no palm rejection.. it'd be a terrible burden to keep the palm out of the way while drawing.. I tried some rejection gloves but no good

[karmic mesa]

True. The new Tab S7 is better for that

Well.

Not new now

xD

I have seen people using cheaper tablets than that though to draw pretty good things like my sister who uses the Galaxy Tab A (2017). While the Palm rejection is a must-have for professionals. 14-year-old girl like my sister would do just fine with that tablet... She probably prefer it just for the spec boost! She be like "look the blur tool doesn't lag!"

[sleek torrent]

SMH

Stop arguing about some smartphone brand

Digital drawing is boring for me especially if it's by my own hands

[karmic mesa]

Then again... I'm the kind of person who can see the usefulness of nearly any device... Like the Coolpad Defiant... SD 425 w/ 1GB RAM... I used it as a hotspot host lmao... It works well for that (as long as the sun isn't there to overheat it.). It managed to get 60Mbps down and 20Mbps up so... Win in my book.

Also I got it off ebay for $20

[sleek torrent]

Ha

I'd use that as a coaster

[karmic mesa]

xD

[sleek torrent]

Might even jerryrigeverything it

[karmic mesa]

You can't game on it tho... Android 7 kinda needs more than 1 GB to game

[sleek torrent]

Redmi go is the best phone in existence

Come at me

[karmic mesa]

But if it had 2 GB it would be decent

[karmic mesa]

Nah

xD

I'd try it.

[sleek torrent]

[karmic mesa]

Gimme

[sleek torrent]

I almost got that as my daily driver

[karmic mesa]

Oh god

Lmao

That can't be much better

xD

How they manage android 8 in 1 GB

[sleek torrent]

I can assume there is no bloatware in that

As if it were to be there

[karmic mesa]

Only way

[sleek torrent]

The phone wouldn't work

It's android 8 Go

[karmic mesa]

Ohhhh

That makes a HUGE difference

[sleek torrent]

I have google go and it's so much lighter

Gallery go too

[karmic mesa]

Yo, I got an LG Stylo 6 from my aunt... Duuude... It looks like a Flagship... But is worse than the A20 in gaming

[sleek torrent]

It has features which even modern day flagships don't have

Expandable memory

Adaptive loading times

Anti selfie addiction(don't ask why 😂)

Headphone jack

[karmic mesa]

Headphone jack

I miss that thing

[sleek torrent]

Zenfone 8 mini is the opposite

[karmic mesa]

I mean... Look at that... Been awhile since I had to play like that... That's how I started

That loading time tho

[karmic mesa]

For sure

[karmic elk]

Me when doing math problems, it takes forever to solve that 1 frame

[karmic mesa]

xD

That's my sister too

Love her to pieces

[fast hearth]

Is the Zenfone 8 series launched in India? From what I know Asus never cared to launch the Zenfone 7 here

[hallow sentinel]

Omg that's so sad for you ! Thanks to say it to me ! I was thinking about an expensive tablet now =/ maybe it's for better, I need it for read webcomic and ebook soo... I will use it a lot.

Thanks to all, another time really, that's help me a lot, I will think about just play SKY on my phone then and buy a tablet for other stuff. Thanks you so much ! Have a wonderfull day guys !

[fast hearth]

It's okay, I have Tab S7 now, though I still use Tab S5e more than Tab S7 for reading and streaming thanks to its Super AMOLED display, it's really good for educational purposes if you can manage without the S Pen, and watching web series is a treat

One thing though, it doesn't have HDR10 support for Netflix, thought to mention that

Ah, I just got Android 11 on my S5e

[hallow sentinel]

I see. I see but i don't like to see movie on phone or tablet, the screen seems too small for me...I just wanna play sky more confortable... but I need to thinking about it, it's a lot of money after all.

[fast hearth]

Yep, take your time, SD 670 was pretty good at its own time, but you know, lots of exciting new processors in the market.. please research them and decide your pick

[hallow sentinel]

I will thanks.

[sleek torrent]

There were speculations that they will

[fast hearth]

Ah okie, my dad waited eagerly for the Zenfone 7 to come, but they never did :( he had to go for an ROG 3 at last

[sleek torrent]

Oh

[sleek torrent]

Sky is breaking more day by day :/

Today the krill was sleeping

I faced other bugs too

[true trellis]

Docile krill

[karmic elk]

The krill on Forgotten Ark is intended to be not beam anyone on sight

Since the developer don't expect the people playing on that area so they just make it not beam anyone on sight

[true trellis]

Was it changed? I distinctly remember one time I tried to anger it and intentionally let myself get krilled.

[rugged scarab]

I remember going to that place an its never been a danger krill as far as ik

Da bois just vibin in the mountains

[karmic mesa]

I've been spotted by that krill before

Back in the day during the season of enchantment when it was first released.

I've also used that krill for clearing the quest for being spotted by the dragon multiple times

[sleek torrent]

I have used it to complete quests before

It is an active krill

[fast hearth]

Well, it's eye been turned blind after the new updates, if anyone gets to bring back it's red conjunctival eye, please report it here

[karmic elk]

If this krill was over the sky realm

Wasteland is finally not scary anymore

[winged rock]

Hey guys!
I have been playing sky for a while on my phone, and my wrist starting hurting because of the controls pretty much.
I know there's a feature that allows you to play with a controller, but the problem is the game doesn't recognise any controller I connect to my phone..

I'm an android user btw, any help?

[sleek torrent]

Which control mode do you use?

One handed or two?

[winged rock]

Someone told me that they played the game with a keyboard and a mouse. Does that also apply to android

I use two handed mode

[sleek torrent]

Hmm I see

You can play some games with a keyboard and mouse

Not sure about sky

[winged rock]

Oh...

Dang..

[sleek torrent]

Whats your controller just to be sure

[winged rock]

I have an xbox 360 controller, but the game doesn't recognise it ugh

And I have a twins controller, u know ...the two with one wire thingie

[sleek torrent]

I don't know much about controllers, we'll have to wait for someone else :)

[winged rock]

That's fine🥲

I will try to connect my keyboard to my phone and run the game, I will inform u of the results

Cya

[sleek torrent]

See you!

[winged rock]

Great, I can't find my spare keyboard.

I really want to play this game with a controller, and I'm willing to buy a controller that would be recognised by the game on android

[sleek torrent]

Ps4 Xbox one controllers are supported for sure

[winged rock]

Is there some kind of list that shows the controllers supported for the game?

[sleek torrent]

I'm thinking of making one, but need more sources and evidence for that

[winged rock]

Dang it, my xbox 360 controller ain't helping ugh

I'm sorry for whining so much

[sleek torrent]

You could DM @compact basalt to ask which controllers are supported officially

[winged rock]

Oh thank you

[fast hearth]

I'm sure XBox One Controller is pretty much compatible with most of the Android 10 devices, I'd advise you to check it out once

[jagged bridge]

has anyone else been having problems with the play screen? whenever i press the button it stops and wont go to the loading screen.

[fast hearth]

Try clearing the game cache (not the game data) and launch it, check your internet speed and any possible packet loss.. if it still doesn't open, contact the Customer Support

[tame comet]

A good rule of thumb: Sky uses Xinput API, so as long as your controller has Xinput support and the required buttons and Axes (two thumbsticks for control and camera and the normal 4 face buttons and shoulder buttons), it should, in theory, work with Sky.

[tame comet]

Is your 360 controller a Microsoft branded one or is it a third party controller?

Microsoft put Xinput on their 360 controllers, but since the Xbox 360 still supports Direct Input, 3rd party companies weren't forced to support Xinput for their 360 controllers. So if your controller isn't a 1st party controller, it might not support Xinput.

[mossy ginkgo]

The Razer Kishi works, on both Android and IOS.

The Backbone One works for IOS. (Still waiting for an Android release.)

sourced from personal knowledge

@sleek torrent

[tame comet]

I think it would be harder to find a Razer controller that doesn't support Xinput.

[fair sandal]

hello, i played sky on an iphone, only i lost it, it was linked to game center and google, i got an android and logged into google account, but a strange thing happened, i lost all spirits but they are still on home. what's happening?

[hollow tree]

Do u mean u lost your old progress and starting new one?

If u already linked to gmail and login with that u should have old progress. Do u have your old skyID? Try contacting ingame support?

[broken umbra]

i have used xbox 360 controller to play sky

S9 Android 10

its not the original controller tho

[fair sandal]

@hollow tree my progress was saved, but the spirits are at home, but they're scattered across the sky worlds as if i hadn't caught them

I will send sample photos

[hollow tree]

Did u last play sky looong time ago?

[leaden dirge]

I cant use the 3rd setting of Graphics.. what could be the cause? Or do I need to get a new phone 😂

[fair sandal]

@hollow tree 6 months i'm not sure

[prisma iris]

TGC allowed all regular spirits to be relivable for all players a number of months ago

Do you mean that spirits you had collected before are no longer available in your constellation?

[hollow tree]

That's normal dw. They made changes like wren said

[fair sandal]

Got it

[hollow tree]

Probably the device is not strong enough

[fair sandal]

thanks for listening ;)

[leaden dirge]

This is what's up XD. What device does everyone recommend for the best quality?

[hollow tree]

Welcome back to sky

[fair sandal]

:)

[hollow tree]

Someone made a list for affordable devices capable of 60fps for Sky
Wait a sec

[prisma iris]

Yeah, only certain devices can run 60fps on Sky (there's a pinned post for required GPUs)

[hollow tree]

Here @leaden dirge

If u not worried about budget tho, go for current flagships sure best quality

[leaden dirge]

Where?

I'm sorry I was afk for a second there

[leaden dirge]

On this channel?

Ohhhhhh okok thanks guys. I see now 😊

I have another question though. Are those devices under Pinned usually that cheap?? It's like 130

Idk if I was looking right tho

[hollow tree]

U might be looking at the wrong post

[sleek torrent]

That's what some people's phone cost here but thanks 😂

[sleek torrent]

So do they say it in controller specifications whether it has Xinput?

[hollow tree]

This one got, but i have no idea if it works with Sky 🤔

[sleek torrent]

Just try it lol

I'm not making a list of controllers I'm making a list of controllers which support sky 😂

Wait it has Xinupt

So it should be able to

[hollow tree]

I don't have it but on my wishlist

[sleek torrent]

Oh

[light star]

Hello, i wanted to ask if you need to unlink one any of your linked account in your sky account to access it in a new device? I'm getting a new phone and certain that the one I play sky with is going to be passed to my mother and fear that I may loose my sky account again

[surreal veldt]

You need to at least link your account with any of the account methods, then go to your new device and sign in to the account you've linked your sky account to, and you're good to go.

I recommend also saving your SkyID just in case something unexpected happens

!support If anything bad happens, you can contact Support with your skyID

[upper sail]

Contact Player Support in-game: Tap the cog menu (top-right corner) ⚙️ → Tap "Support" → Tap "Contacting Us"
If you’re unable to access your game, you can contact Player Support by using this link: 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!

[light star]

Thank you! I used to have a Sky account before in which I linked to my facebook account but when I tried to enter the account again it said that I have to unlink it from my old phone that broke to access it

[tame comet]

It's really hard to find a windows compatible controller nowadays that isn't Xinput... Heck, even my SNES 8BitDo controller uses Xinput. It just isn't compatible with Sky due to not having two analog sticks.

[karmic mesa]

Rip

I use the PS3 controller to play sky most of the time. I've been using the PS4 controller recently because of the Bluetooth connectivity. Some phones don't have OTG compatibility and would lack the ability to use controllers at all for anything. Which is quite unfortunate.

Save for the PS4 controller which would work on phones that don't have OTG compatibility.

[sleek torrent]

These won't be as easy as the phone list hmm

It's better to get something officially from tgc on which ones are supported

[tame comet]

I think the best way to put it is "If your controller supports Xinput, has a D-pad, two analog sticks, 4 shoulder buttons, and 4 face buttons, it should work with Sky."

Also a Disclaimer that some 3rd party Xbox 360 controllers won't be suported since Xinput isn't required for the 360, but any Xbox One controller (S, X, etc) will work since the One series of consoles don't support direct input. (what the OG Xbox and 360 used)

[sleek torrent]

[sleek torrent]

Look at that

[karmic elk]

Day by Day, Sky is more "broken"

And one day we will see the broken/crack in the "Sky"

[sleek torrent]

Imma send feedback in live feedback

Band aids and patches ain't doing the job

Redesign

😁

Use unreal engine

[karmic elk]

Making own Engine: Profit
Using it: NOT-Profit

[sleek torrent]

They'll make it up from IAPs easily

[karmic elk]

Yeah, but of course they need to maintain their engine properly

You can't just put a iOS focused engine to Android, it won't work

Change my mind

[sleek torrent]

I see no harm in using unreal engine 4

It's common, easy to maintain and a really good engine

I'll definitely put it in live feedback

They won't do it any soon

If at all

[karmic elk]

But the IAP profit will cut if they use it

[sleek torrent]

It'll provide more player satisfaction

And more people will spend more money

So profits will be around same

If not more

[fast hearth]

I think they might be waiting for Unreal Engine 5 👀

[karmic elk]

If they actually want to port it to UE4 it maybe impossible since they may need to rewrite entire code

[sleek torrent]

It's easier to expand company too as more people will know who to manage UE4 than an in house one

If TGC can't do it there are people who'll port it for a fee

They better remake on their own

[karmic elk]

I think you think it's too easy. If they wanted to they need to learn the how UE4 works and need to find way to counter some feature that UE4 that may not have.

[sleek torrent]

If they don't know UE4 I wouldnt call them game devs

[karmic elk]

Wot

My comment just got caught by the bot

[sleek torrent]

What was it about lol

[fast hearth]

Well, it's flowing smoothly on my device, might be processor related and can also be a bug

[karmic elk]

Making own engine except for not cutting the IAP to 3rd Party, they can use their own engine freely without any problem Use the feature that UE 4 might not have.

[tame comet]

Looks like your device is missing the Vulkan call to smoothly drop that texture correctly. Sadly, that is the issue with Android's Fragmentation, especially when you're coding the API calls in a custom engine. Some OEM's don't just pull proper code when upstreaming. You should see the state some Manufacturer's Kernels are in. It took about 2 weeks to upstream Motorola's 4.4.70 kernel to 4.4.152 due to all the mismatched code and Code Aurora Forum commits instead of the unified linux kernel commits.

[karmic elk]

Ah, that hurts my brain

[karmic mesa]

Lmao

[tame comet]

Essentially, even essential drivers, like Vulkan, will vary depending on which upstream channel the OEM uses. CAF used to be the go to, but recently, Google has been trying to force manufacturers to just use the unified linux upstream, instead. Good luck, though. That would require more man power than most OEMs care to spend on "little things" like that.

[sleek torrent]

Unreal engine is capable and pretty convenient from what I've heard

Even RTX enabled games use it

[karmic elk]

But they use their own engine have a reason

They have freedom to customization

[tame comet]

Well, yeah, think of the money behind UE4 and the resources they have to know which calls to avoid and which to keep using. In reality, a developer shouldn't worry about a simple call in Vulkan, but you kind of have to with Android due to some changes not making it in an update for some devices.

[sleek torrent]

It's falling apart 😬🥴

[fast hearth]

You can mention it in #live-feedback, but it's highly unlikely that will change, custom engines have their own comfort levels to work with and it'd be quite of a overhaul if they shift

[tame comet]

I would assume it's due to the changes they made to get Sky working with the Switch. This is due to Nintendo not using the Industry standard Vulkan API, but a modified version named: NVN.

[sleek torrent]

I agree

[sleek torrent]

Android users suffer 😂😭

[fast hearth]

Maybe it'll get stabilized a few months after the Switch version release

[sleek torrent]

1 year for a toggle 😂

[tame comet]

Don't forget that toggle we waited for a year causes some audio anomalies.

[fast hearth]

I'm glad they finally fixed it

[karmic elk]

You see like a AAA studio don't use thrid party engine because some engine have limited functions. Like BF4 for example. UE may can handle 128 People but can UE hold of a satellite fall from the sky? So that's why they use frostbite engine and the engine give the developer have almost have freedom to customize the game

[sleek torrent]

Then they should fix and maintain the engine..

[pine hill]

Anyone else in Android platform having problems with the audio when screen recording? This didn't happen before, right now before recording, the audio is still there and when I try to record, the audio just disappears?

[sleek torrent]

Try a third party recorder if you need to record urgently

You could put it in #bug-reports-android

[fast hearth]

You could try the "Screen Recorder" app from the Play Store.. make sure to turn the "Audio Source" setting to "Internal Sound"

[pine hill]

Oh, I wonder why it breaks when using the phone's built in screen recorder 🙁🙁

Skybot I was helping them ah

[sleek torrent]

If the game is rewritten for android will it be better than the present game?

[karmic elk]

[sleek torrent]

Told it to the devs

[fast hearth]

Exynos 9611 GPU isn't good enough for a demanding game like Sky, it'll be able to run Sky but frankly speaking, you won't be pleased with the performance

[crude forge]

For the record, performance isnt matter to me, at least it can run Sky

[crude forge]

My last phone was a Mi A1 and it has a decent performance as well to play sky

[fast hearth]

Well if you can manage with the random freeze, lagging and blotchy graphics, it's up to you..

If you search on YouTube or Google it, there is a general opinion that it shouldn't be used for gaming if can be avoided

[sleek torrent]

I play on exynos 9611

[fast hearth]

Is sd 765g enough for good 60 fps?

And can it run two skies at 60 fps at same time?

I was looking for LG wing to play on both accounts at the same time

Or lg velvet with secondary screen case

[past arrow]

You can't run 2 Sky at the same time with any device. Why would you do that btw?

[past arrow]

Having alt accounts moreover if they are connected is violation of TOS. TGC has just made a ban wave banning mass of users breaking TOS. Having multiple accounts is not allowed and risk for your both accounts.

[karmic mesa]

From a technical standpoint, it is possible to run two copies of sky on the same device at the same time but it is hard to set up and does require a top-tier device. The most deciding factor would be the ram. And as Tib did mention it is against the terms of service to have multiple accounts.

However, while running two copies is technically possible having both of them playable at the same time is impossible. The device can only focus on one application at a time and since it is a full screen application that breaks if you try to split screen it one of them will always be tabbed behind the other.

It is also unlikely that it can run at 60 FPS. Close, but not quite there.

[fast hearth]

I saw my friend doing this in pocophone f1.
He uses built in functions of pop up window and app duplicate.
But actually, it's not his second account, it's just his other friend's account which he also have, for whom he run when this other friend is busy.

[fast hearth]

Yea, there are lots of people who have 2 or even 3 accounts.. against the rules, but you know, no one really cares.. still it's advisable to have only one account.. peace of mind

[fast hearth]

Have you seen videos of LG wing on YouTube? People actually play two differnet games, or one same game copied at the same time.
Even interacting with both screens at the same time.
And it works

[fast hearth]

It might, I haven't seen its videos. I was excited for me but then it was gone when LG decided to quit

But since it's against rules of TOS, we aren't allowed to talk about it here

I mean having alt accounts

[fast hearth]

Yes, now I'm confused about lg a little

Actually my dream phone was always latest flagship sony xperia, now it's xperia 1 iii

But it's too expensive, definitely can't afford it

[past arrow]

Gifting, using, borrowing other people's account is also against tos You can't have 2 accounts on your phone at the same time if you don't want risks.

[fast hearth]

Then what if I have two different devices 🤔

[cedar hearth]

Эх

[fast hearth]

I had the same question, what if I have 2 accounts registered to 2 different Gmail id's and belonging to 2 different devices.. technically it's different right?

I may not just tell anyone that same person own those devices

[fast hearth]

Check direct messages

I was looking for oneplus 9

[fast hearth]

Check the number of 5g bands supported if you decide to buy it

[fast hearth]

5g is not allowed in russia till 2023

So I don't care

Well also check for any occurrence of unnecessary heating like other SD 888 devices, if not, you are good to go with the device

OK ima see more reviews about it

Just there are sales and i have promocode so I can get it for 420$

8gb ram

Wow, thats great for the specs.. awesome!

What phone do you use tho?

Why don't I ask a random person for what phone they use, just interesting 😂

[karmic mesa]

I use the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G

[fast hearth]

And I use a Redmi Note 5 Pro, SD 636 😂

I'm planning to buy a new phone only when the 5G network is fully stable

I thinking, what's the point of account system overhaul that creating alt account is breaking TOS?

If for reinstalling sky and that feature log in without watching the cutscene is ok but log out button?

What's the point?

[tame comet]

Shared devices. A good example of this is the "family iPad" that might be shared by two or more children or the parents.

That's not very common if you ask

It might not be common, but as a company, it would be prudent to allow that ability.

[flat gull]

yeah i'm scared of it lol

[flat gull]

When they fix it, where will they notify me?

[hollow tree]

They won't tell u personally. But it might appear in patch note as fixed bugs or something like that

Or idk if it can be fixed by backend update..?🤔

[flat gull]

okay thanks for the reply

[sleek torrent]

That Manta problem is related to the problem I had with flowing graphics/waterfall so I think Uzephi's take on it applies here too

[flat gull]

yeah i have the same problem for waterfall, jellyfish, sky :(

so sad

[sleek torrent]

Poor you, you're probably missing some of the "things"(vukan api?, shaders?) Uzephi mentioned

Not sure what they are haha

Excuse me on that

Is your device capable of running sky normally? Or you got it from somewhere else?

[flat gull]

oh my phone is still running it's just the same problem as above

[sleek torrent]

Tell me the specifications or the name and model of your phone

[flat gull]

Specifications? What is an example?

my phone is samsung galaxyA12

[sleek torrent]

Ex- 8gb ram Snapdragon 888 processor

Oh

That's a weak phone....

[flat gull]

yeah i know :(

[sleek torrent]

It is probably missing a lot of shaders

Sorry man sky won't run well on that

[flat gull]

yeah sometimes it's not smooth and can't turn on the highest graphics

[sleek torrent]

It'll face such issues because of a weak graphics processing unit

[sleek torrent]

I'm kinda surprised it runs sky, I dont have a great device either

But that might be a pain 😬

It'll only get worse as sky becomes bigger with more areas and contents

[flat gull]

I'm very worried about that

My problem, I think it's because I just updated to Android 11 that the device hasn't adapted yet?

[sleek torrent]

If you need a phone with 60fps capability... I have a list

Budget phones

[sleek torrent]

Not sure about that, when I upgraded to 11 my game got smoother

But more bugs started popping up

[flat gull]

I have to wait for a message from thatgamecompany

[sleek torrent]

Bug report submitted?

[flat gull]

yes

[sleek torrent]

They won't message you but you can keep an eye on #news

[fast hearth]

is 60fps mode available on the Samsung Galaxy A72 4G?

[true trellis]

Looking at the specs, it has Adreno 618 GPU, seems like it can't run Sky on 60fps

You can also check the pinned message here to see if what GPU's are capable of running 60fps on Sky. Tho, it seems like the list might not be updated.

[sleek torrent]

It isn't up to date

that's why I'm here

[rotund pike]

hi ermm..what specification should i look for in a phone when i want sky to run smoothly?

[prisma iris]

an iPhone

In all seriousness, there’s a list of required specs in the pins of this channel, and I’ll try to track down the post someone made for affordable android devices that can run 60 FPS, if that’s what you’re looking for

Generally Android flagships run the game well

[rotund pike]

ohh i found the list of specifications, didnt know sth like that existed, ty

[true trellis]

@sleek torrent (sorry for the ping) they might be interested on the list you created.

[sleek torrent]

Here you go@rotund pike

There are mid range options too which you seem to be looking for

[sleek torrent]

Haha I was offline, you can just reply to it lol

[rotund pike]

yeah, i'd like to see the list

[sleek torrent]

Click above this message

[fast hearth]

Thanks

[rotund pike]

i mean, atm i run sky at "this device doesn't meet the minimum specifications" so it doesnt have to be GREAT lol

[sleek torrent]

Poco x3 pro I recommend

It's pretty cheap for a really nice phone

Be aware that sky will get bigger and heavier over time so its good to have some headroom

[rotund pike]

yeah, thank you

[sleek torrent]

Welcome

Facelift+ renamed a phone

[fast hearth]

@sleek torrent , can you recommend a samsung or xiaomi that can get 60 Fps?

[true trellis]

For Samsung that can run 60fps, you can never go wrong with S20 FE (I'd suggest wait for S21 FE but it seems like it's production might be delayed) or Samsung's S Lineup or Note Lineup

[fast hearth]

Ok

[true trellis]

Tho, budget-wise, Samsung is VERY expensive

[karmic mesa]

Yup

Samsung has alot of quality of life features that many other manufacturers don't put into their phones. That could be the reason for their price tag.

Huawei, LG, Xiaomi, and Google are also known for putting in decent amount of effort.

[fast hearth]

Redmi K40 GE and Mi 10T are in the list provided above, other affordable Xiaomi phones for 60 fps are
▪︎ Redmi K30 Pro
▪︎ Redmi K20 Pro (cheapest of the Xiaomi phones)
▪︎ Black Shark 2

[karmic elk]

But Huawei they attempting to ditch Android

[karmic mesa]

Ik

Lmao

[karmic elk]

On the first beta Harmony OS it was just Android with some text mentioning android removed

I think they rewrite new os from scratch and write some Android code to let Android application run without issue or need developer rewrite entire new code for Harmony

[graceful mango]

my phone is barely up to minimum so it's normal for the lighting to be weird right (light is too bright, dark is too dark)

[hollow tree]

Some areas are indeed very dark. But idk what u are experiencing. I do have to adjust my brightness up and down sometimes. Fire trial is very dark so i put it up but i can't keep this brightness level for prairie

[graceful mango]

[hollow tree]

This is my morning yes it's brighty

[graceful mango]

oh god the lighting difference

[prime tangle]

Different time also plays a role in lighting in home, right?

[graceful mango]

ohhh that makes sense

From definickly's, it looks like early morning

[prime tangle]

Yup, early morning

[hollow tree]

This was taken on 01:59 pm. Ye the colors got washed away had to switch to night version

[sleek torrent]

I hope you got your answer:)

But since you provided no budget

Check out Mi 11 Ultra

It is spec wise one step ahead of samsung S21 Ultra in many ways

[sleek torrent]

Well first of all Adios, secondly the the other phones are getting old now and it's not feasible 😬 even BlackShark 4 is out 😂

[sleek torrent]

Google usually adds more software conveniences than hardware

Mi phone almost always have an IR blaster which makes it really easy to control the house

[restive lantern]

Did they fix the eden bug?

[tame comet]

Xiaomi had some issues with safetynet earlier this year. (Feb and March Dev and Beta builds from Xiaomi failed). Luckily none of the stable releases failed, but don't do the beta testing for Xiaomi if you want to play Sky on that phone.

[sleek torrent]

Beta testing on any phone has its risks

Oneplus got stuck in a bootloop

While testing android 12

Once my dad lost all his data from his phone when he tried a beta build

He had backup fortunately

If you want to play sky no beta testing your OS or dev/beta builds

It's obviously beta for a reason

😆

[tame comet]

[sleek torrent]

How's it so far haha

User experience

[tame comet]

UX is smooth.

[sleek torrent]

What about the adaptive wallpaper based theme forgot what it's called lol

[tame comet]

I haven't checked it out since I only use one wallpaper and one lockscreen background.

[sleek torrent]

Ah okay

[tame comet]

I mainly flashed it to make sure we didn't get an Android 11 release repeat.

[sleek torrent]

Release repeat? Like one UI 3.0 and 3.1?

[tame comet]

Oh, no. Before OneUI even had Android 11, from August to after November, there was a bad flashing due to Vulkan API updates for Android 11... Lemme find a video

Ah, here you go. Warning Video is a bit flashy

[sleek torrent]

Even crashed :0

[tame comet]

Yeah, changing areas had a 1:5 chance of crashing

[sleek torrent]

That was terrible

Imagine that on a lower end device

[tame comet]

I have videos of worse flashing, but don't want to give anyone seizures.

[sleek torrent]

Yeah but I can imagine how bad it'll be

[tame comet]

Credits rolling with that same frequency of flashing, but a bright blue.

[sleek torrent]

So you played like that

[tame comet]

Nope, took a break from the game, since rolling back to A10 would have required a factory reset. (missed out on Prophecy due to it)

[sleek torrent]

That's the brightest part 🤯

[sleek torrent]

Wow I didnt know that

[tame comet]

Spoiler tagging due to flashing and it being a snippet of the Credits.

[sleek torrent]

So flashy even my eyes hurt haha

Never full-screen that

[tame comet]

So far, Sky works fine on A12, but Vulkan hasn't been messed with. I bet B3 or B4 will introduce an updated Vulkan, especially since Vulkan 2.0 released recently.

[sleek torrent]

What would be some nice headphones under $20 with both wired and wireless? Comfort, music quality and noise isolation is priority

Yes it is A very small budget I agree

It's BT with a detachable headphone cord.

U might wanna look for wired better, wireless usually got delay

[sleek torrent]

Linus tech tips made a video about wireless technology

Some cases it's faster than a copper wire

And having option of wired on wireless is best of both worlds

[hollow tree]

Under $20?

[sleek torrent]

Yes I saw a few for $12 range

[tame comet]

or only 2ms difference like my 4.4's when I enable aptX. Disabling and using SBC or AAC, you can tell there is a huge latency spike using wireless

[sleek torrent]

It'll be unnoticeable even in fps games

Or maybe a bit for the experienced gamer

If the latency is high while gaming

Switch to wired

[tame comet]

This is, of course, a few years old, but gets the point across.

[sleek torrent]

Why is Huawei higher

[tame comet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯ It was from a Sound Guys article.

[sleek torrent]

Picture taken today on exynos 9611

Without any zoom it is fine

Some rocks look derendred

It'll be Hella taxing on the gpu

Or maybe it's present in hi Def mode

[tame comet]

Closest thing to waves are the ripples in the water, even in high performance mode (60 fps) on my little one's iPad.

[sleek torrent]

I'll ask the devs

Be so cool to have waves

But probably not in sanctuary

It's heavy already

S21FE GPU is not known if it's not announced, which is a key component in Sky experience. Sometimes manufacturers put less powerful GPU in newer models

(it's not pixel 5 btw, it's Poco x3 pro. Don't ask what did I do to that phone 😉)

[sleek torrent]

It won't run sky

You know what you did

It won't work unless you revert it

It probably failed safety net

[karmic elk]

If I remember if you install certain Custom ROM it will fail safety net because of some kind of hardware checking

[sleek torrent]

Then don't ask why it can't run sky 😉

My best comeback

[novel grotto]

Hi

[main solstice]

It doesn't fail

[tame comet]

evalType: Basic means you are failing hardware attestation and using a dirty workaround to pass.

[main solstice]

Also it works fine but this is kinda annoying clicking ok every time

[main solstice]

Also known as magisk hide

Wait thats idea

Added to magiskhide

Lmao

[main solstice]

You think pixel 5 can't run it lmao

[tame comet]

Magisk hide will not bypass hardware attestation. Your ROM most likely is using the dirty workaround by kdrag0n on GitHub to force basic.

[main solstice]

Uh actually after a reboot, I have no idea why, but it don't show that earning anymore

[near walrus]

My phone shows vulkan not supported

[cyan pebble]

😦

[sleek torrent]

No,messed with phones typically don't run sky

[sterile sigil]

do you guys use external screenrecoder? in game recorder is not functioning for me

[woven harbor]

Yeah in game recorder never works for me

I wonder if that's a bug or if it's intentional

[hollow tree]

I use this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kimcy929.screenrecorder
Works well (im android 10)

[hollow tree]

I think bug

[woven harbor]

Yeah I'm Android 10 as well and it never works for me

[tame comet]

It's a Google Play Games bug. Sadly, due to how Android permission stack works, TGC cannot use Sky's native recorder that iOS version uses.

[sterile sigil]

bet when you record your piece the keys shows too. sad android life 😭

[hollow tree]

No i mean my built in screen recorder broken after new UI

[tame comet]

Odd. Mine still works.

[hollow tree]

I thought we were talking about the problem new UI patch brought lol sorry my bad. If it was about iOS recording read uzephi's explanation. Android always have button shown in recordings

[sterile sigil]

hope google will fix the bugs

[ripe marsh]

Android in-game recoding is so bad tho, i tried it and got the 480p quality

[near walrus]

Hahha

Yeah its becoz In IOS we can record directly from the graphics rendering I think and in andriod we record only the degraded quality after its processed , some phones are gives 90 fps recording these days maybe they increase the quality too but Idk

[upper thicket]

Yeah no, that message will show on weak/old phones like mine that have the bare minimum specs to run the game ok, just not smoothly... chat is super laggy and the frame rate is pretty far from 30fps

[sleek torrent]

They got that message as they were doing sussy activities with their phone

Something I wouldn't recommend unless you have a phone to spare and can deal with the possibility of ban

So don't do it

[upper thicket]

I'm not saying they didn't get that message because they were messing with their phone, I'm just saying that that particular screen message is not caused by not passing safetynet, and that once you press ✅ the game start screen appears

In their case, yes, it's due to them messing with their phone, but in other cases it's not the cause

[fast hearth]

Why this happened two times when I tried to plant a long boat message and it delete all of my emotions I typed in and just to get rejected... Kinda triggering, now I don't want to plant it again, how upset...

[sleek torrent]

I keep backups of long messages in my clipboard before I send/plant it

As the message says if it happens again contact TGC

Or #bug-reports-android

[past arrow]

Do a http://speedtest.net test.

• Maybe your network signal is weak
• or your ping is high (above 35ms)
• or you have package dropouts
  Because in #questions-and-help nobody came with such problem yet these days

[sleek torrent]

35ms ping isn't bad

Anything above 100 can be a bit jarring

[past arrow]

Maybe you are not frequently in QnH but above 35ms issues happen in Sky. We are not speaking about YouTube and some regular games

[sleek torrent]

Pubg,call of duty ah yes regular games

Seriously thought it's probably packet loss

I didn't have much packet loss but had high ping

[past arrow]

Instead of playing with meaning of the word regular, please focus on the context.

Sky needs better ping.

[vale pivot]

Is there is anyway to fix this bug?? Idk why but the text is so big, sometimes I want to collect Spirits the icon is cut out

[hardy abyss]

I got sent here cuz I asked a question 😅 could anyone help me with it? I'll just copy and paste it if someone is willing to help

So question 😅I played Sky with Steel Series StratusDuo controller it works fine, yes I'm on Android and I'm aware theres touch screen and controller setting in-game, but it no longer works on Sky thinking anyone else have this issue?
Just to clarify while in-game the controller setting says 'not detected' yet I can play other games with it :/

[sleek torrent]

Hmmm I suggest you Dm @compact basalt

[torpid scroll]

Hi. Has anyone else probles with starting a game? When i tap on the icon, game closes. If TGC logo shows, i get "force close the app".
I tried with clear cache and reinstall.. Still not working for 2 days 😭

[sleek torrent]

I have been there just two weeks ago

No fix really... sometimes it works after clearing cache

But now it's fine tho

[torpid scroll]

Clear cache, force stop and even game reinstall did not work

Solution: phone restart 🎉

[sleek torrent]

It worked?

And if you can please specify your device im trying to find a trend

[torpid scroll]

Yes, phone restart worked

Huawei p30 pro, android 10.

[sleek torrent]

Interesting

It had android and playstore by default right?

[torpid scroll]

This happened 2nd time. I reported to bug reports both times

I didnt chsnge anything (eg root phone, istalled custom os)

[sleek torrent]

Okay okay, so I'll keep that phone in mind

[torpid scroll]

Cool. I thing the last solution was the same, phone restart. And that was the last time i restarted the phone 😆

[sleek torrent]

Woah, I restart atleast once in a week to keep my device in condition

[torpid scroll]

28th May, and yesrerday + today

Ok, will to restart my phone once a week and see if i wont have issues with the game

[sleek torrent]

Well, that's just a good tech habit it isn't necessarily a fix

[true trellis]

That might be last of Huawei's flagship that has Google Services Support

[sleek torrent]

Thought so.

[torpid scroll]

Yeah, i think series 40 (might be 30 mate too) without google services

[true trellis]

Yeah, Mate 30 and other lineup onwards bid farewell to Google Services

[torpid scroll]

Is possible that my issue is related with my holidays/trip to other country? 🤔

[fast hearth]

Uhhh I have a Android and the shop isn't working for me

[surreal veldt]

Maybe this can help you

[steep saffron]

my game is bugged. I can't interact with players and I'm stuck in empty servers 100% of the time. I can't teleport to anyone and people always see me as offline. I've filed a bug report but that's has been going on for like 5 days and I don't know what to do

[surreal veldt]

That's mostly connection issues

[steep saffron]

o get that, but my sisters who are n the same wifi can play fine

and I've tried different wifis and cell connection and everything

I have full bars, but still doesn't work

[calm heron]

@steep saffron check for updates, clear game cache, reinstall game as last resort but make sure you linked your account to keep save before reinstalling

[steep saffron]

tried all that, even uninstalling. no dice

[split dragon]

Question:- Could I split screen between two accs in my phone (Redmi Note 8 Pro)?

[sleek torrent]

Dual accounts or having alts is against terms and conditions of sky

[split dragon]

:0 so many ppl do it

[edgy linden]

Hello, i got a little problem. I did start children of the light without linking it, so it was a local save. Now i did start a new account with an email by accident instead of linking it. Is there any way i can link my email to my first account ? It says that it is allready linked, but to the new account that i created on accident.

[true trellis]

Ooof, by any chance, did you took a screenshot of your Sky ID on that 1st account (with local save)?

If so, you can try reaching out to Sky Customer Support Team, see if they can help.

[karmic elk]

If you silence don't tell anyone and not using Heart Exploit, you will be fine. But I am not encourage you to do it.

[sleek torrent]

Other than heart expolit I see no other reason

As a battery? Use torch or feast table

Oobs? Find a nice friend

I don't see much point in this

[karmic elk]

Friends? I have my self as a friend

[sleek torrent]

Don't 👀

[hollow badger]

anyone know how well a samsung s7 phone runs on sky? or if it even does

[hollow badger]

nvm w

[frail nacelle]

Does anyone know how well sky will run on a Samsung A21

[tame comet]

I would highly suggest against getting an A21. It has a PowerVR GPU which isn't a good one for Sky. You'll be lucky if you don't get frame drops within minutes of playing.

[karmic mesa]

I can attest to that... I gave my A20 to my Aunt and she gave me her LG Stylo 6... While it can run Sky... I wouldn't say it's a playable experience.

Also the Galaxy A21 has the same SoC as the LG Stylo 6

Almost the same phone

lmao

@hollow badger It can. Make sure it is running on the latest version of android released to it. (Android 8)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvu77Sh4KJ4

It will overheat, so use a fan behind it. You won't get 60FPS but it will run better than most mid-ranged phones.

[karmic mesa]

This is a video of the LG Stylo 6 loading into Sky

[hollow badger]

ooo nice, thanks!

[trim path]

Hi! I need some help with my android account. When i try to buy something the game always wants to get the money from another account, one that i never even connected to sky. I dont see any option to change this, is there anything i can do about it?

[tame comet]

Log out of the Gmail on your phone that is interfering. After purchase, log back into it.

[trim path]

Thanks!

[near walrus]

Can i play sky with rooted devices?

[tame comet]

You must pass safetynet. In other words, as long as your phone doesn't break SElinux trust or AVB verity, and passes Google's CTS, you should be fine.

[sleek torrent]

Did you guys see Hugh Jeffrey's video in which he repairs an S10+ which was drilled through by its owner because they couldn't root it?

[karmic elk]

To be honest I think JerryRigEverything should continue do durability tests and teardown, they are actually helpful

[viscid terrace]

Will sky ever support AMD's FSR upscaling atleast on Android phones? Theoretically it should work on all direct X / vulkan supported GPUs.

[pale grotto]

I have the same problem

does anyone know how to fix the big text thingy? my phone updated itself and the big text started showing up

[true trellis]

Samsung on Android 11 and One UI 3.0 or 3.1?

[pale grotto]

samsung on android 11 but I can't see which One UI it is
mine is vivo/funtouch OS :O

[true trellis]

I used Samsung around Prophecy to Dreams and I think around January was when I experienced that very large text or very small text

[past arrow]

It's a common Samsung or Snapdragon device bug.
Try this, maybe works, maybe not:
Eventual fix for large text Android by DreamFyre
#android-questions message
Or (if it’s a samsung) try turning on game booster plus in the game plug-ins app

[karmic elk]

PowerVR may not run sky

[torpid moat]

Does android support 60 fps?

[karmic elk]

Oc, but only some GPU

There's a list of GPU that capable 60 FPS

[torpid moat]

Ok thanks

[past arrow]

Heyo! It's not ok to ping devs if they are not online right now unless it's an emergency Also, this message is pinned here

[karmic elk]

I already turn off the ping thingy

[willow sky]

Is eden still broken?

[hollow tree]

I tried yesterday. Not broken
Idk about others

[past arrow]

As per #known-issues it's officially not fixed yet. Keep your eyes on that channel for announcement. You can try to go because it works for many users

[pale grotto]

tried going through the steps but it wasn't enabled, but thank you for the assist!
I got used to the big text really quick and used a different keyboard to make typing a little more tolerable in game

[lofty coyote]

Hola, I’m just going to copy paste this here.

So I’m trying to get sky for my friend, and when they look it up in the App Store it doesn’t show up. They have a Moto G7 android- and this friend is a bit young, so also, what’s the age rating- like 11-13 young. I’m trying to figure out why they can’t find it

[past arrow]

If they can't find it, that means their device is incompatible. Sky needs a 64bit device with decent GPU (not cpu)

[gloomy thorn]

https://thatgamecompany.helpshift.com/a/sky-children-of-the-light/?p=all&s=connection-performance&f=can-i-play-on-my-android-device

[worn ravine]

Hey guys... Is there anyone who's also having problems like getting stuck for a split second and game crashing problem after the update???

[lofty coyote]

Thank you!
Yeah, their device isn’t compatible I’m pretty sure.. damn, that sucks

[viscid terrace]

It's a rom specific bug. Not related with hardware.

[past arrow]

Others don't may fully agree with you, because installed roms are obviously hardware specific. Regardless I don't say what causes the issue, I said where is it common.

[past arrow]

Yes it's a common bug on most devices. Feel free to bugreport

[tawny grail]

me!! my game keeps crashing lately, i cant play continuously and yes, i experience having split second stops while i move..anyone else? 🥺

[worn ravine]

Should I do it in game?? on in this discord channel???

Thanks a lot!!! 🥰

[lusty wharf]

will the sky be optimized to reach 60 fps on other Gpu? for example the Adreno 618

[dawn thistle]

How can I get headphones 🎧 on tried it 😭😭

[vernal compass]

!beatsbyelder

[upper sail]

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

[dawn thistle]

I know

But it didn't

I watched a ton of vids

[vernal compass]

If you're on Android then it won't, it's an iOS only feature at the moment

[ripe sapphire]

Any1 knows why blackshark 2 (older device), can support 60 fps and blackshark 4 (newer and stronger device) can't support 60fps

[sleek torrent]

The older devices aren't always weak and newer arent always better

[sleek torrent]

If you're talking about GPUs which can't run sky at 60fps at present, it's really unlikey theyll run it at 60 in the future as sky keeps getting heavier

Unless there is some breakthrough in software

[viscid terrace]

Bruh. No

[sleek torrent]

[pearl jackal]

Hi anyone in high end Android still lagging?

[sleek torrent]

One second freezes is affecting every android device

Regardless of specs

🥲

[ripe sapphire]

But blackshark 4 is better than blackshark 2 in every aspect specification wise

[tame comet]

Sky cross references a database with GPU benchmarks. Seems that device isn't in the database they reference, yet.

[twin hazel]

Can the samsung note 10 run sky at 60?

[tame comet]

Snapdragon 855 should be able to handle it. Don't know how well the Exynos 9825 would play Sky, though. The Note 10 has two different hardware configurations, depending on where in the world they were sold. Europe and Asia Note 10s are Exynos while most north American Note 10s are Snapdragon.

[unborn sand]

Are servers down right now or is it just me?

[hollow tree]

!theskyisdown

[upper sail]

you're upside down, the sky is up! ☁️
There is scheduled maintenance on Wednesday at 15:00 PDT (UTC-7), lasting approximately an hour. Servers will remain accessible but you may experience some instability during this period. Your patience and understanding is appreciated!

[unborn sand]

Okay thank you

[sleek torrent]

Oh I didn't see Blackshark 4 in your message I just saw Blackshark 2 and thought you were comparing it to some cheap new device

My bad 😬

[rugged wasp]

When is the next update?

[hollow tree]

When it's ready

[sleek torrent]

Mostly updates are released a few days before the next season

[dreamy needle]

does anyone know if the sky devs are aware of freezes and severe fps drops on android?

[true trellis]

You can try reaching out to Helpbot and verify. Also, if a lot of players have been sending feedback about it, one way or another, Devs will hear of it.

And I'm pretty sure Devs have also been testing it out using Android devices (just my opinion)

[sleek torrent]

FLASHY VIDEO WARNING

Bug at tunnel near ice rink in valley

[patent kernel]

Anyone else getting more intense stutters than when the update came out? I don't have a recording of it but it's a lot worse than before..

I'm on a Moto z⁴, Snapdragon 675

[keen dock]

I get stutters on a SD865

It's normal at this point for any device

It started happening with the updates before the end of season

Hasn't been fixed yet 🤷

Ik it isn't my phone because I play on normal graphics mode and before the updates it would never stutter

Even on high performance mode

There's no other game on my phone that lags

Not a single one, but Sky

It sucks because the game was perfect until the updates ruined it

And the game became stuttery

[fleet sundial]

using samsung s9 and yes after maintenance the stutters became a bit more laggy (before maintenance screen froze for 1 second now its 2-3 seconds or so) hope the issue gets resolved since all we can do is #bug-reports-android ig
