This screenshot only tells us the root folder is correct

#

It doesn’t work with the update

any news on when the modding API gets updated?

wheat orchid
#

The ModdingApi has been updated for a while now, but the installer is the thing needed to update. I pushed a update to the installer’s GitHub repository that adds support for multiple patches, so someone just needs to review it, then add a link to the 1.5 api. Then the installer can be used on 1.5. But mods will have to be updated as well.

slender nova

this happens when I launch modinstaller.exe

stoic violet
#

ModInstaller out of date, probably

#

idk

wheat orchid
#

Make sure you got it from

stoic violet
#

yeah

wheat orchid
#

Also about every month you should redownload it since sometimes updates occur that break old versions

slender nova
#

when I donwload that it says "this installer requires the most resent version to run.

wheat orchid
#

Look at the most recent pin

#

The game updated recently

#

The installer doesn’t work with the update

slender nova
#

Do you need to downpatch?

wheat orchid
#

No, in the pins there are instructions on switching back to 1.4.3.2 with steam’s beta program stuff for games

limber egret
#

Yes, but going to 1.4.3.2 (which is the one you need) is simple now

Via this method above

When is modInstaller going to update to 1.5? Is there any date for that?

the modinstaller won't change

the API build for 1.5 is pretty much done. but a lot of individual mods will need updates too

so..... could be a bit

thin patrol
#

i already 'downpatched' the game cos i saw it doesnt work on

#

1.5

#

yea

#

so like i created a different install for practice

#

following this

#

cos i wanna speedrun current patch

#

i set the path of the new install on the modding api

#

installed debug mode

#

but apparently it just didnt work for some reason

#

pressing f1 while paused isnt toggling it :(

#

i tried the 'manually install a mod' thingy but it requires me to download the mod separately which i also couldnt find a link to

#

can anyone help a dumb brother out

limber egret
#

Screenshot the main menu of your modded install

thin patrol
limber egret
#

Do you have a mods folder created in that game?

#

The files for that game?

thin patrol
#

no i dont think so

#

this is how it looks like

#

but the thingy is installed according to this

limber egret
#

Go into data then managed

#

Is there a mods folder?

#

Also where did you get the modding API from exactly? Did it just automatically install?

thin patrol
#

i got it from the link in the current patch guide

#

from here

#

also yes

#

there is a mods folder

analog fog
#

anyone know why this is happening

why_.png
limber egret
#

If you're on 1.4.3.2 you don't need to download a different API, the mod installer one is correct

#

I'm not 100% sure the best way to get you back to the correct one, but I assume that's the problem at this point. Hopefully somebody else has the easiest method and will be around soon

limber egret
thin patrol
#

the api was installed using the mod installer thingy

#

you open it the first time and select the directory

#

then it installs the api and u can select the mods

#

thats what i did

limber egret
#

Oh, okay

analog fog
limber egret
#

I thought you were saying you downloaded it from that guide or something

#

I've been getting that too, specifically started today

thin patrol

the link on the guide is the mod installer link

that installs the api

Oh, that sounds right then. Sorry, I'm not completely sure what the issue is. You might want to check the pins for how to reset the mod installer.

relaunch steam maybe? i didn't have that happen when I did it.

because every mod needs to be re-made

i installed ModInstaller 2 and followed the steps, however everytime I open the game it crashes instantly. How do I fix this?

i'm pretty sure the ones i installed were: API, Custom Knight, EnemyHPBar, infinite notches, mod console, and ModCommon. Also the game just shows a X on top of the Knight's mask when I try to boot it up and the game window does not even open before it crashes.

Hi there, I read the pin on the recent issue with updates and such but I have a question. What exactly happens when I accidentally updated hollow knight to 1.5 on my mac with the modding api, and then switched to the beta version? Are my files still okay? Because I did just that and the game still doesn't wanna open

gloomy coral
#

What version are you on currently?

brazen obsidian
#

The 1.4.3.2 beta currently

#

Okay on second thought is there a way to just uninstall the modding API and its contents?

#

I just wanna play the game again

fair briar
#

Yes there is, but i recommend trying what the pin says if doesnt work first

#

To revert to unmodded, use the verify integrity function of steam

gloomy coral
brazen obsidian
#

Ahhhh okay, I'll try that out

gloomy coral
#

But it could be the infinite load problem so I wanted to check

#

Normally I've seen infinite back screen happen when you download the wrong api

fair briar
#

Go to steam -> right click hollow knight -> click on properties-> click on local files -> click on verify integrity

brazen obsidian
#

Nah I didn't download the wrong api, I've been using it for over a year now

That's why I want screenshot

# wheat orchid 1.5 is 64 bit 1.4.3.2 is 32 bit

I assume a version of 1432 exists that's 64 bit, otherwise how would Mac people have been playing thus far?

I guess if someone doesn't want to do complex steam downpatching on Mac, I assume the GOG version is an easy switch.

I'd re-buy HK for a third time if I had to just to play mods
