well i have another problem that i thought would be gone
hollow knight isnt responding, when i boot up the game it shows a bar loading, but it always stops near the end, when i click it says the game isnt responding
Can anyone help?
hey where is the newest instaler[?
not done yet
they're talking about updating the installer for the latest game version
I did and it’s still there
the loading bar is supposed to be there
did you leave your controller unplugged
Yes
does anyone have the link to macro for allowing opposing directional inputs to override one another
Yep, and it’s been on the loading screen for 2 minutes now
Maybe 4
7 minutes now
is there a specific place i need to be installing vanilla, ive reinstalled and the modinstaller says it cant find game files and to make sure it's installed
Heeeeeelp, my game isn’t loading

you're gonna have to provide more info then.
exactly what you did. what mods you have. screenshots of installer, etc
did your 1432 patch open just fine without mods
hi, can you use skins on patch 1221 ?
This is two different questions?
Yes? The mod installer wasn’t working but they were technically still there
yes, but not really
oh
the format of the skin sheets is different
so there really aren't any
and the mod needed is custom made
and I'm not sure where it is
its ok, thanks for the info. sorry for interrupting
i'm just not sure what to do, as there's nothing but an error message so i cant change where the installer looks, and vanilla is reinstalled and where it should be
oki
ill get the mods i have downloaded, as for when it loaded, it loaded on the most recent update
well.... first bit of advice.... don't make a shit soup out of your game by adding 100 mods at once
So I have too many mods enabled right now to go through one by one, but does rando 3 with all settings have a left dash and a right dash cuz I'm only able to dash right right now
yes
There are two items for each direction?
if i sound sarcastic when i say thanks, i dont mean it that way
dash and claw are split
O h
anyway to fix the "install the latest version of your game" thing?
and nail is cursed
probably good choice

I've been posting here for like 2 hours and no one has really helped very much
Here is my last post:
so i have the same issue dust has and I followed the pin. when i try to verify the integrity of the files, I get the error message: "2 files failed to validate and will be reaquired". Then, as per the pin I try to open the mod installer but I get this message
could someone help me?
please?

you need to change your patch to beta branch
then you didn't do it right
well so i went through the stuff and deleted the files I needed to
*to 1.4.3.2
then went to steam

THE MOD INSTALLER ISNT WORKING AGAIN
I UNINSTALLED SOME MODS AND THE GAME WORKED AGAIN, BUT NOW ITS THE ERROR MESSAGE AGAIN
yelling is fun
which error message
THIS ONE
yes
same one
so do the same process
i just want to point out how well handled this is, ive had so many problems and havent had to ask anything it was already answered
huh, i did it and its the same message
Hey guys what does the hkmote mod do ?
When you press a number key, it plays a animation
So you can communicate with each other in mutiplayer
Okay thank you very much
Sooooo I literally bought the game today on steam. If I wanted to do mods would I have to revert back to the old ver, then delete the assembly-csharp files and use the verify integrity option to reinstall it before downloading the Modding API or should I download that first?
What
Just use beta to go back to the old version
Open Installer
Download mods
Enjoy
anyone had a problem when you try to run the mod installer is says this installer requires the most recent stable version to run i tried to check the pins but didn't find anything relevant

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with the co-op mod
I set the game back the old version, before the update yesterday, but I can't see the person who's connecting to me
procedure for that is in pins
Soft locked myself by sitting on a glitched bench in ancient basin (the stand and bench were present at the same time and I couldn't buy it)
How do I modify my savefile to change which bench I'm sitting at?
If you have mods enabled you can download debug or benchwarp. If not you might be able to change it using save editor but im not sure.
The esc menu is not accessible once booting into the save so benchwarp won't work but I'll look more into the debug thing
mm debug uses pause menu too
I don't have moresaves no
Can someone help me ? Whenever I run the Mod Installer this message appears. Does anyone know how to fix it? And my Hollow Knight is up to date

Update, it's still not working
I cannot see my friend
Did the thing with hamachi, I'm definitely hosting and we're both connected on my ip
then you'll have to provide screenshots
one from each person's game with the top left and top right visible while paused
and hamachi
Do I not have to?
nobody can connect to it
well there's already an issue. you said you're hosting right?
Ohh
Fixed it by changing these two parameters into another save's location
The bench will forever be borked however
it's not that great of a bench anyways
i didn't know that modinstaller wasn't compatible with the new version and i opened it up
now, my game crashes every time i try to open it :,)
does anyone havve a fix?

Assuming this is because I just got hamachi today for this purpose and haven't set it up yet?
I can't instal the modinstaller it says that I need the most recent update of my game but im already at the latest version

the first result from this looks like it might help. yours or their adapter settings might be disabled in network and sharing
could also try turning the hamachi server off and on again
lol
alright thank you imma try
but not being connected in hamachi is 100% the problem. resolve that error and you should be fine
Hm so basically i cant use the mod installer until the creator makes it compatible with the latest update
the code field is only for if there's a non-public version or something that the devs want to restrict access to with codes
no. you follow the first pin
hey just the launcher mod already works
no
oh no
Alr thanks
It says the peer's vpn domain's tap device is down
Whatever that means
Tried searching for a solution, but most are unresolved forum posts or they redirect me to nord vpn for some reason
WAIT WE GOT IT WORKING
No, wait
It was working for all of 30 seconds
Same problem as before, even after restarting basically everything, so it's definitely whatever a tap device is

downloads probably
That's where the installer is, not the app
Unless I'm wrong lemme double check
Yeah it's just the installer
Modmanager and modinstaller are the same thing
i updated hk, it didnt work cause mac, i went back to 1.4.3.2, i have debug mod, modcommon, modding api, and customknight. when i try to launch hk the app opens but it doesnt ever load in
its just a black screen with the little white knight on the bottom right, frozen
Is a controller plugged in

Try launching the game again
didnt work. it may have something to do with the new update being non compatible for mac
i did set it back to 1.4.3.2 tho
did you reinstall the modding api
i copied and pasted my hollow knight data folder for 1432 (with all my old mods) to a new folder so i could have a seperate install of that and also install the beta without downpatching again. i added the exe, and the text file but when i went to open the exe as i would for 1221, this happened
1221 works just fine
do you have UnityPlayer.dll
nope. and i oculdnt find it in my 1221 install to copy paste
im just downpatching through steam to old cp
thanks
it said it was outdated, so i clicked that for it to update
Should I update it too?
I am using windows
The recent update is incompatible with the current version of the modding api.
ok so basically i changed my mod version so that i could use mods since hk just updated and this heppened to me the first time i got the mod installer as well. this pops up once i open the mod installer and ive tried the fixes in pins but they didnt work, they didnt work last time either. last time somebody gave me a download that fixed this, does anybody know what im talking about?
i dont think its in pins either
so basically when i would type in the thing in pins to find the mods folder so i could delete it it just opens a bing search
i undid the update
sorry guys but can someone please send me the link to download modinstaller2?...
i didnt know there were 2
ho...sad np tx ^^
Check the pins
What are you trying to install
I think you just need to wait till they update the mod installer to work with current versions.
i have the mod installer already downloaded and i just switched hk versions so i can fight pale prince and it redownloaded after i changed versions and now has that error message when it opens
So we all can do is wait for modders to update?
You can compile it. Skips the wait
You can follow first pin
Alright
So I down patched my HK to 1.4 yesterday after the update and the mods worked up until a little bit ago.Now when I load up the game, the main menu is glitched, the mods don't show up in the top left, and I can't start any game saves. I re-updated back to 1.5 and the game worked fine, but of course with no mods. Any help would be great.
wheres the link to the latest version for the mod installer?
uh
the game just got a new update i dont think the latest version is gonna be out so soon
oh
someone help pls
im pretty new mear im just a bit confused
when i try opening h it gives me a red exclamation mark then hk doesnt open
and i dont have any outdated mods
any help?
problem is HK itself is too up to date.
Check the top pin, you need to roll it back to 1.4.3.2 to use mods. Shows you how there
👍
so if you have mac, you cant go back to the earlier hollow knight version after the update, I'll just have to wait for the updated Api?
im still abit confused
i dont know how to force steam to keep the previous version @astral sierra
nvm im fucking dumb again
my bad
me too lol
You can downpatch, check the pins there a guide for it
can there be a new mod installer completely for new cp? i like having old cp mod installer
also, when my game is paused, things still move, though a lot slower. its therefor possible for me to take damage while paused. the mods i currently have are debug, custom knight, benchwarp, qol, and a super special hunthussie mod,but the issue happened without the hunthussie mod too
I think debug mod can make it so the game moves faster or somethin, could that be the problem?
how would i check that\
The console at the bottoms right
whats cp
kk
ok
Ex: mods don’t work on cp anymore since it updated
You need to downpatch/switch beta through steam
im still having the problem with hk opening but not loading in
it stays a black screen

Sad noises
I think I'll just disable mods for now
Getting a headache is not worthy
idk if its a problem with mods or not though
When I load up my HK the save files wont appear, the mods don't show up in the top left, but there's still a 'Mods' section in 'Options'. So it's like the mods are there but they're messing up the menu. I downgraded to patch 1.4, interestingly when i go back to 1.5 the game works fine, but with no mods of course. I tried reinstalling the mod installer, but no luck. Help please

@real jacinth is that for me or @slate aspen
not you
ok
I followed the steps from that pinned message but it still doesn't work
It almost seems that I'm gonna have to wait for the modding API to be compatible with version 1.5
So recently, I went to go play modded, and i only installed bench warp and CustomKnight, and it worked for like, 2-3 sessions, but today I went to go launch my game, and it just won't open, I was wondering if anyone had a fix for that
Game updated. You have to opt in to an older version
ahhhh ok
Just got to the steam and go to the games beta. You should find the older version
yeah, its there, thanks
No problem
there are more pins than just the first one
like this
ok i have pale prince on is it supposed to automatically apply or can i turn it on somewhere
i am not very good at this stuff
but its still pv
also is qol the mod that makes it so you can do pop multiple times
you don't have modcommon
that makes sense i hit revert back to unmodded and enabled those two
does it works now?
Can anyone help me with this? I reinstalled Hollow Knight cause the mod installer was being wonky. Now this error message pops up :/
thank you :D
So uh the game had an update and I kinda just wanted to know how that was gonna affect my mods
mainly stuff like the randomizer and randomizer map mods

so yeah the modding.api updated, but now the game crashes when I open it
I don't really understand what you mean
Yeah I got that update and then checked the modinstaller
do you know how lng till it is out @real jacinth
when it's finished
thank you
yes. so like first pin says, if you want to use mods, you have to revert to 1432
b/c an API exists for that
I mean it showed out of date when i looked at the ModdingAPI in the mod installer and I usually assume that means I can update it in the mod installer
But it's not out from what I underdtanding here
2 separate things
you need to not be on the new game patch
and if it says there's an update for your current api, you should update it
ok
you just had an outdated one for 1432
I see
So what would i do when the new one comes out would just be an update I do in the modinstaller
correct
there are also updates happening to the installer that will be able to see what patch you have
and give you the right stuff
ok
I deleted the mod installer and all the mod files and now my game doesn't launch and crashes (on Mac, Steam)
This is what is looks like now
I have also validated the steam files and that doesn't work either
It may be because of the new Hollow Knight update. Some people we're having problems with it
Try downpatching to 1.4.3.2, instructions are in the pins
I downpatched already
Was it working before you removed mods and on 1.4.3.2?
yes
And does it give you a crash error?
no the screen is black and the application is not responding and it stays like that
Hmm, I think someone was having a similar problem. Not sure if they fixed it
I'm thinking I might have to reinstall steam but then I lose all my game progress
It shouldn't if you have steam cloud on. Or you can backup important saves for games
Hi, I'm new, someone knows how to install mods with the pirated version
Something like this?
is there a way to go back to a previous version of the game?
You can't, buy the game
It updated automatically and now I cant use mods
Yes, if you're talking about from the new update to 1.4.3.2 there's guides for that in the pins
It automatically updated to the latest version
yes. and/or, just copy the files in this spot
these are your saves
not
I fgured since they said reinstalling steam they might be worried about other games saves
Then you can't get mods
is 1.4.3.2 the latest update?
okay
No, 1.4.3.2 was the update it was on for a while until yesterday, now it's on 1.5
^
ok thx
Good evening. I'm trying to set up a MultiWorld HK game for my first time ever. The instructions on GitHub in step 5 ask me to edit the MultiWorldMod.GlobalSettings.json file to point to the server's IP address. What is this IP address? What is this server?
Are you hosting a private server? Iirc it has instructions for how to join some default server
I am not. Where are these instructions for the default server?
I might be mistaken but it might need Hamachi.
Ahhhh, that makes sense.
Can you link the GitHub repo? Can’t find it atm
Ok, must have been thinking of something else with a default server
it's in the readme
No worries. I've used Hamachi before so thankfully I'm familiar enough with it. (Played CubeWorld Alpha with a friend lmao)
What readme did you find that in? I'm not seeing it (but also, thank you!)
the readme on the github
My attempt at creating a new version of Multiworld which works with rando 3.0 features - CallumMoseley/HollowKnight.RandomizerMod
you linked a very very old multiworld
from 2 years ago
This is different than what I was looking at. Hmm. I have some reading to do.
Woah that’s some big differences
Ok, if I uninstall hollowknight on steam and then I delete the hollowknight file in application support, when I download it on steam again, will it be completely new?
Look above
Why would you delete the stuff in application support if you want your save files though
I copied them in a separate folder so I can just copy paste
But why would you delete or move them in the first place
They have nothing to do with the game files
I think my game is just corrupted then
Did you try verifying the game’s files through steam
yes
And you didn’t open mod installer afterwards?
Deleted what?
mod installer and the randomiser mod files and modding api
After or before verifying
after
What have you done between then and now
tried to open the game, tried verifying again, reinstalled steam, reinstalled hollowknight, made a backup, copied game files,
Try doing the reverse of what you did to get to 1.4.3.2
Then see if hollow knight works
so download the update
Yes
Also did launching hk before installing the ModdingApi after going back to 1.4.3.2 work?
The updated version did not open but the game worked perfectly fine on 1.4.3.2 with the mod installler
What operating system are you on and is your device 32 bit or 64 bit?
minor problem but i feel like this chat can help
i wanna change my hollow knights icon to this since i renamed it zoteboat, anyone know how to do that?
Renamed what file?
MacOS Mojave, not sure about whether it is 32 or 64
i renamed my hollow knight game zoteboat, and i wanna change that to the icon, but i have failed since it isnt the icon of a program
Can you show which file(s) you renamed? And which file you intend to change the icon of?
Try going back to 1.5
See if it works
Then go back to 1.4.3.2
See if it works
Install the ModdingApi
See if it works
Then tell me the results
Can’t rn, but can tomorrow
1.4.3.2: Screen black, rainbow spinning wheel, application not responding
I’m thinking team Cherry might have messed something up
Look up how to change a programs icon, if you wanna change it on steam then look up how to change a steam games library banner
Modinstaller has same result as 1.4.3.2, my friends have dowwpatched and it works for them but they never used mods unlike me.
Were they on Mac?
Are they on the same operating system
same computer, one of them has OSMojave like me, other one has OSBigSir
Ok
Well this cannot be caused by mods, as the files have been reinstalled multiple times
Have you tried turning off steam sync, moving your saves to a folder, and launching the game without em?
nope I'll try that now
I have no clue if that'll actually do anything
But I'm wondering if maybe updating with mods on mac and then uninstalling and/or downpatching mighta like broke your saves which are continuing to break your game?
damn
I have to go now but I will update to BigSir and let you know how that goes
Hi!
I'm trying to use Modinstaller but it keeps giving me this
Pins
and steam says hollow knight is updated
You’re in the 1.5 update
Aka the beta team Cherry silently set to the new release
In the pins there are instructions to revert to 1.4.3.2
oh I see
is it possible to edit poorly translated mod? I would like to create my own poor translation in Portuguese
I downloaded the mod on Skurry's channel (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IfB7WYbaXUbtnaqEEPGmoO3MJquyEckf)
If I change the .txt files, will these changes be reflected on the game?
Better to use https://github.com/SFGrenade/LanguageSupport
Oh I misread it
You should test if those work
Edit a bit of text you can easily see
If poorly translated doesn’t work then use language support
I tried language support, it worked!
thank you!
Has anyone found a fix to the issue where the game wont start on mac.
Im assuming its because of the most recent patch
multiple people have had this problem, you can try instructions in the first pinned message, but it hasn't been known to help
seems mac specific but doesn't happen to everyone
Yeah its mac specific
Hello, I'd like to install mods
I'm on Windows if anyone can help me figure out stuff😁
ok so this isnt modding but ill ask anyway
i had vsync off before the patch and my game worked fine, then came the update and it screen tears
its a quick fix, i just turn vsync on but is there a reason why its different now
@rare epoch Look at pinned comment
Thanks!

@rare epoch Although it doesnt work cause of the recent patch/
Also what FPS did you have when your screen tore?
Yep, read it, thanks for the help :D
Cuz HK just uses up the max resources of your computer it you don't cap fps
actually idk
hey I was just wondering how you make the mod manager a shortcut on windows
^^
or just how to get to it if you close it lol
It's wherever you put it. I'm assuming you never took it out of your downloads folder
yea
So, just move it to where you want it
It's usually recommended to put it on your desktop
the mod installer?
Yes
Mod Installer is the program
It doesn't "install a mod manager"
The "mod manager" is Mod installer
Thank you so much man! It worked!
@wheat orchid @native ice I figured it out
It is a problem with the version of the operating system, nothing to do with mods
lol
Oh, nice
I’m having a problem with randomizer. I switched to the 32 bit compatibility beta so my mods would work, and they mostly seem to, but in this run I got dreamers before visiting ancestral mound and now it’s completely locked. Is that supposed to happen? I seem to remember the randomizer always forcing the false knight room to not be infected so that side couldn’t get sealed.
the doorway gate blocking it doesn't exist in the Infected version (the entrance next to Cornifer)
It’s accessible from the cornifer side?
Huh. I guess that one room rando where leaving the false knight room would take me to an uninfected version of a room that was infected from every other transition was unrelated then
that's also just a vanilla feature, fwiw. you can get infected crossroads without going to A-mound in vanilla
You would have to do unintended skips for that right?
IIRC Room Rando has a special rule regarding infected crossroads, so that you can't lock out an important transition
Nope
You can go to Sly, grind geo for Lantern, go to C Peaks, go to Resting Grounds, which leads to City...
Oh wow
HK Rando is so good, because HK was developed with the intention of doing things in all kinds of orders. I love it 
Alright thanks! Hopefully there’s something good in here
For any future Rando Q's, use #randomizer btw 
Yeah, if it's related to Rando, that's the best place to ask usually
does anyone know how long it would usually take for the mods to work on the newer verisons
wdym
like how long it takes to launch 1.5 with mods, or how long until a moddingapi comes out for 1.5
how long until a moddingapi comes out for 1.5
there already is one, but the mod installers need to be updated to use it(possibly updated to work for every patch), and every mod needs to be updated and partially rewritten
ok thanks for the help : )
In the meantime, you can still play mods if you change your patch to 1.4.3.2. Information on that is in the pins 
thanks!
We Chad mod developers already play mods on 1.5
Hey, you can't be here 
You gotta keep working on updating all of the other mods to work with the new API
Me? I only work on 1 mod and that one is compatible.
With 1.5. Because f**k 32 bits. All my homies use 64 bits.
How much more do you plan to add to firemoth?
why isnt my modintaller working?
We need some more information

I dont think that will work
What won't work?
Checking the pinned messages
If Mod Installer isn't working, then most likely the answer is in the pins
but I mean, feel free to ask lol
I'm glad you know the problem other people have without them explaining it.
They are very thorough pins
Ah
100 mb is a really nice metric to define how much is in a mod
It could also be another gigabyte
Depends on Rusty
Become like custom knight and have your asset bundled in an external foldet
No.
Folder*
That removes all compression
Lol
We use 4K video files. No way that that is a good idea
Also, now unused assets are automatically removed from bundles
no need for 4k video files if the base game's default resolution is 720p
Yeah. Rusty added it
Is there a specific mod you need in order to be able to do the lever skip at shade soul? I thought it would be a part of QoL
AFAIK you just have to play on a patch that has it. I don't think any mod adds it back
Maybe speedrun mod does, because it goes farther than QoL in making 1432 act like 1221
It is part of Qol I think
You might have to go to the settings file
And turn on an option in there
Do you need a specific kind of program in order to edit the mod files? Or am I just missing where the settings file is?
how to install mod in hollow knight creak version ??
hey

There should also be a settings file here
Oh, thank you. I was looking under the game files rather than the save files.
No problem
are you getting any kind of error message before that?
yes
screenshot that please
follow these steps here
ok
um so modding my game corrupts it
im playing 1.4.3.2
i cant start a game
because it says "loading" on all 4 save slots
any ideas?
yeah, theres a fix for that in the pins
cool thanks
has the modding api been updated to the most recent version of the game ?
I believe so, but the modinstallers and the mods themselves aren't up to date yet. In the meantime you can downpatch by following the steps in the first pin if you want to use mods
okay i'll check that out thanks
No
Only the public repo. Not the download.
You can compile it yourself
Oh I see, my bad
so i did the things that newest pin messege yells to,it didnt work,i did the other thing it said but because i cant use installer do i need to set up modding api myself?
what exactly is the problem, does modding api not open, do mods not show up in the main menu etc
ok, so HK is starting normally, its on 1.4.3.2, but no mods are showing
yes
#archived-modding-help message have you tried this?

yep, thats normal
why not. Does your modinstaller throw an error?
No he give me a warning
Can you send a screenshot of the error, or describe what it says?
one that looks like this?
Yes that!
look at the first/most recent pin, theres a fix
Ok
now?
what exactly do you mean with now?
Ok.
what do i do now?i cant use the installer to install the api
force steam to keep the old files?
why not. Does it show an error, if it does, screenshot that
Ok.
Oh sorry
you just have to do the thing in the pins, that should fix your problem
Look at the image in the pinned message
games not opening now,ill be back in some time when it opens if mods doesnt work
just did the first step pinned here, my game launches but no mods are loading in
so it loads all good, your in the main menu, it shows 1.4.3.2, but there are no mods showing, correct?
yep
#archived-modding-help message try this
Not necessarily modding specific, but I restarted my computer and HK updated itself and now its very laggy. I can hardly jump around without the screen being choppy. Not sure why, and even now that I downpatched back to 1.4.3.2 it's still laggy. Anyone have any ideas about this?
That doesn’t sound like it’s an issue with hollow knight. That sounds like an issue with your pc
so need to downpatch to open modinstaller?
The pin says to downpatch
opting into a beta isnt downpatching
for me, i just recently installed it on pc yesterday, it was already 1.5...can i still downpatch? dont really know how to actually...
been playing on switch before
yes, see the pin
Yes, you can downpatch to 1.4 using the method in the pins
dis one?

and, no, thats not the one for reverting back to 1.4.3.2. Thats an additional fix if that alone doesnt work
ok, thanks
my mod installer 2 is not opening
I have one question, does modinstaller work with 1.5 yet?
it doesnt
nvm i opened with administrator it worked
hello,can we share our problems with mods here?
thats what this channel is for yeah
k then when i have installed a mod and entering HK the HK was broken
you have to be a bit more specific, broken in what way?
there wasnt music ,and my saves were gone and there was loading
What mod is it
@trim nebula
guys, when my modinstaller is open and i try to open hk it just closes right after opening and when modinstaller is closed and i open hk it just freezes in the loading screen
what should i do?
i downloaded hollow knight from drive will that work?
im in 1.4.3.2 btw
We do not support cracked versions
well thats a bit late
Yeah
@trim nebula I would like to kindly ask you to remove the drive download and buy it legitimately. Show TC some love
ok youre right
pls help?
do you get any kind of error message
wait, i might be misunderstanding something here
so, you have modinstaller open, you open HK, and then hk closes itself?
yeah
the error message happens if im in the newest patch but that patch is broken for mac so im on 1.4.3.2
verifying integrity did not work, any ideas how to fix this ?
1.5 or 1.4?
1.5 , also i think i can launch it through terminal. it just wont launch via steam 😐
does 1.4 work?
I literally JUST bought the game only for the mods and this happens :(

maybe it's due to TC renaming the game to "hollow knight" instead of "hollow_knight" ?
What do I do? I'm so confused....
lemme read it, i'm a slow reader LOL hold on
I don't know if I'm talking about more, but if they can't open the game, what I did was uninstall it and reinstall it, the progress is not lost, it is saved in Cloud Steam, although I don't know if opening the mods, and hitting the first thing that is down, it works
Some remober back
THANK YOU LMAOOOO, it worked xx
get the randomizer 3 mod from the modinstaller
ok...what about enemy randomizer?

@brazen pasture This is a problem when steam games update on mac. Its happening to everyone
is there any known fix ? apart from starting the game using terminal ?
starting the game using a batch script
@neon marten How do you do that?
Have you tried updating your system? That worked for others
create a batch script that does the exact same as using the command line, but then automated
it technically works but is not really much better than terminal
Yeah I tried using terminal in the in game files but the game just instantly crashes.
i'm able to play if i launch using terminal
do you get an error?
Just says process completed

Is the new version for mod installer out?
I cant find it
what?
The mod log.txt and output log.txt
go to here: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/
right click, open package contents
right click -> open package contents
right click -> open package contents

Now what
copy paste this in your terminal ~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow\ Knight/hollow_knight.app/Contents/MacOS/Hollow\ Knight
this should start the game
doesn't work. I'm trying to get the log files from TTV
alright, mb
but I'm not familiar enough with mac
you'd need to open this path to get saves / modlog : ~/Library/Application\ Support/unity.Team\ Cherry.Hollow\ Knight/
in terminal
and ~/Library/Logs/Unity/ to get player.log
finder works as well
click go to Folder in this dropdown and enter the path in the box
you on a m1 chip?
wasn't TC having issues with M1 ?

~/Library/Logs/Unity/ to get player.log
could you also send this
I just dont understand why it would say that I dont have permission if I have a shader issue
Its above
Where would that be?
same as modlog
wierd.
might be windows only
@cosmic sleet are your graphics drivers up to date? Or are there any other outdated drivers?
Yep
To which question?
Is there an output_log file on mac
it might be called player.log on mac
well I already uploaded that then
Already done
i recall being told something to that effect
Ok
Iirc player.log is also on windows?
not so apparently : https://docs.unity3d.com/530/Documentation/Manual/LogFiles.html
I thought I saw it(might have been 1.5 only?)
Looks like well just have to wait for Team Cherry to fix it on macs with m1
maybe. the documentation i sent seems old anyway
you could switch to 1.4.3.2 beta , does that work for you?
TC said this for the current update
macOS Apple Silicon native support removed. Some of our native plugins do not yet support it, which would result in Steam integration and controller issues.
So Is it intentional it's not working for M1 Mac's?
I guess
i took that to mean it would be compiled for x86_64 just not natively running on ARM
does it work on 1.4?

Opt into the older version till they update the mod installer to work with current versions
I installed mods and it would not let me enter the hollow knight
If i return to the previous version is there a risk of any bugs?
there's less risk
previous patch was the stable patch for 2+ years
newest patch is.... 1 day old
ok but for safety what files should i save for a backup?
your saves
ok
i have custom knight enabled and i downloaded the grimmknight skin and made sure that it was the normal folder in the mods folder not the zipped one i also have modcommon and i enabled it in game but still when i hit escape grimmknight doesn show up
screenshot where you put it
In addition to screenshotting where you put the skin, please also screenshot your main menu
this is wrong
your folder needs to be in the Customknight folder
next to the Default one
my qol mod keeps saying failed to load check modlog.txt but i cant find modlog or figure out a fix for it

Wdym disappeared?
Open your saves folder and check
^^
Ignore the modlog.txt part
Are you back on 1.4.3.2 btw?
And if so, if the save files are "loading..." or bizarrely blank, then check down in the pins for the fix
ok
I've done some lite googling and checked the pins here but can't find anything, can someone tell me if it's possible to downpatch the gamepass version? If not I'm just gonna but the gog one
nope, reverted to when I was 11 mins in
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I only just got to hk
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Unfortunately, that version isn't moddable. Only the Steam and GOG versions are.
You can keep an eye on this site for a sale on a compatible version: https://isthereanydeal.com/game/hollowknight/info/ (note that many sites like Humble Bundle sell the games in the form of steam keys)
You can potentially use a save backup, which are the user#.dat.bak files in your saves folder to find the correct save, as long as it was from the correct version. I don't have time to explain how to do that though
Right on thanks :) I'm just gonna buy the gog version seeing how it's easier to mess with
nope
frick me ig
19.8hrs of progress gone

I am having trouble getting the poorly translated mod to work. I got the files and put them in the mods folder, but its not working when I loaded it.

you are missing vasi
vasi?
yes
Im not sure i know what that is
and you don't need item changer
it's on the installer
support mod for qol
which is why all your mods are failing to load
Alright, ty
Iirc poorly translated doesn't work from the installer

Yes and all the ones were ones from 5 - 11 mins in
Frick me ig
Yo im trying to get grimm knight and got everything downloaded and in the right folder but when I go into a save and try to change to that skin it doesnt change
Also I only see the name of the skin not the background
does anyone know how to fix this
you're either missing modcommon, or your skin file structure is wrong.
the background was removed
Screenshot your pause menu and skin folder
is there a mod for geo
Debug mod can give you geo
oh
