The difference between free users and Steam users¶
- Free users: Points are required to download and import models and backgrounds, which can be obtained by watching video ads
- Steam users: no restrictions
Unable to verify Steam ownership¶
- Make sure you have purchased Live2DViewerEX on Steam or activated it on Steam with an activation key.
- On the verification page, tap in the upper-right corner and choose verification through a web browser.
- If the page does not open, use a VPN or proxy.
- If the browser does not return to the app after login, install Google Chrome and use it for verification.
- If verification fails to open while a VPN is enabled, turn the VPN off first. Once redirected to steamcommunity, turn it on to sign in and authorize access, then turn it off again before returning to the app.
Workshop is not accessible / Ads can't be loaded¶
Server or network problem, please try to change the network, or try again after a while. If you are unable to access for a long time, please contact the developer
Can not find Live Wallpaper settings / Click Set Wallpaper not work¶
Some devices may not be able to set live wallpapers due to a a customized version of Android that omits live wallpaper support. Please try using a third-party home launcher or live wallpaper launcher
The wallpaper is black after restarting the phone¶
In app setting, set Delay loading wallpaper to 3 or higher
How to set lock screen¶
Whether the lock screen can be set is determined by system, not application
Wallpaper disappears after closing the app or clearing the app background service¶
Please lock the app background service
How to make the background slide with home screen¶
Settings → Background → Background Offset, set to 'Home Screen'
Power consumption increases after setting as live wallpaper¶
This problem cannot be avoided. Imagine the power consumption when you're playing games. Currently, the software will suspend when the screen is off or other applications are opened. In this state, almost no power will be consumed. So it is not recommended to keep the screen on or interact with live wallpaper for a long time
The model got display issues / Black edges appear in the model¶
- Menu → Settings → Model → Texture Correction. Note that turning this option on will increase loading time of the model. in most cases, weak is enough
- Increase Anisotropic Filtering Level in the settings. Note that this option has an impact on performance. It is recommended to adjust to 4 or more.
Can not load models¶
This problem is mostly caused by loading a LPK model. It may be due to incorrect or inaccurate configuration file of LPK. Please contact the LPK creator to fix the problem
Can not play video background¶
Due to mobile platform hardware limitations, many PC encoding formats or high bit rate videos may not play properly. It is recommended to use transcoding software to convert video to compatible mobile device formats. In general, almost all mobile devices support mp4 files with h.264 encoding format, which is highly recommended to use
Wallpaper is completely black / Wallpaper does not appear¶
Set the frame rate to VSync in the app settings.
Background image does not load / A question mark appears after loading¶
Only standard JPG and PNG images are currently supported. The app attempts to convert formats such as WEBP and GIF during import, but some formats, such as HEIF, may not be convertible. A file with a JPG extension is not necessarily a standard JPG image. Support for every image format is not guaranteed. If an image cannot be loaded, convert it to standard JPG or PNG using an online converter or a computer, then import it again.
High memory usage¶
Although the app itself is optimized, most memory usage comes from model textures, background images, and other resources. Images may take up little disk space when compressed, but are decompressed when loaded into memory and can use tens of megabytes. This usage currently cannot be reduced by the app and varies considerably with the loaded content.
Workshop is inaccessible / Server request failed¶
The Workshop server uses the Steam Web API to retrieve the Workshop item list in real time. Steam occasionally performs API maintenance, during which server requests may fail.
How to migrate data between phones (Android)¶
After installing the App on the new phone, launch it once. Then, copy the /Android/data/com.pavostudio.live2dviewerex/files folder from the old phone to the same path on the new phone and overwrite it (For the floating viewer App, the path is /Android/data/com.pavostudio.live2dviewerex.floatingviewer/files)
