I will try this and let you know if it works @native ice
What’s wrong with the installer? Could you explain what happens when you try to use it
this is funky.
Nothing, i did like the pin's said, getting my game on Beta, when i double lick on the installer, nothing happen
Nothing opens?
Yea
What link did you get the installer from
Ah, i dl the installer from nexsumods
Reminder: The mod installer (https://radiance.host/mods/ModInstaller.exe) and other modding resources can be found from the pinned messages. 
The installer is the only place with regularly updated mods
i has my skin.
I dont know how to use it, now i have to DL what mods i want manually?
Or if you don't see a list of mods, close the installer, reopen it, and show us the error that pops up
okay, the issue was resolved
But i dont know what that mean
That's normal
I mean, what i'm looking for
Debug mod
I will send a neat pic to show what was missing
this was not extracted in the mods folder
That's uhh... a bit confusing
I need to install debug mod riverrobot ?
Why is vasi the only mod you have and why is readme and license there
That's the mod with invincibility
Ah, thanks
hi, which version of modinstaller is "best"? do they all download the same mods?
If you're talking about mod installer 1 and mod installer 2, then they're pretty much the same.
when I extracted all the files, I selected extract to here, and it brought the vasi.dll file to the mod folder fixing the problem
yeah, and thank you
Yes I got that, but why is vasi the only mod in your mods folder?
I deleted all mods while following the other pin that I believed to be the problem I was having with the "unhandled exception".
This cleared the mods
oh
I can't thank you enough for the help
well ya know, I'm even more confused but whatever lol. Have fun
did not work :/
There's three options to do the same thing there, which one did you try?
I would be happy to explain anything you are confused with
1
Do you have mods enabled right now?
I think i broke something.. When i start the game, it crash
In order for the .dll fix to work you have to be on 1.4.3.2 and have the modding api installer
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ok thx ily <3
What's the crash like? Does it open the game show a loading bar then crash? Or does it crash on launch
The game launch, back screen, hollow knight walking like 2sec in the corner, then after, freezing
The first one, i saw a white bar, the second time, i saw nothing
Try unplugging your controller, launching the game, and plugging it in on the main menu
Do i have to close the installer or no need?
Doesn't matter
I'm having an issue where when I try to use the mod installer it says I need to update to the latest patch but I'm already updated

Same thing, freezing then a white bar
Then a crash?
I ran into another problem with the unhandled exception has occured in your application.
Then, i alt F4 cause it freezing
The white bar is a loading bar, give it a minute
Oh
Again, that’s not the important part of the message
But the little hollow knight is freezing
Please send a picture
Uh, I’m not certain. But make sure the installer is on your desktop, make sure that Hollow Knight is closed, and run the installer as administrator
I have
None of that worked? I guess try just restarting your pc

If you want invincibility, bottom left of the top right menu, cheats > invincibility. and f1 to hide and show the menu
am stuck with this lol
Nah
"key pressed" work, but not the accept input
?
I dont know what key i pressed
Did you accidentally close the debug menu
Thanks for the help, I will continue research and will let you know if I find a solution
HI i could use some help getting the custom trials mod to work, would someone be willing to help me out
Are you trying to install mods while HK is open?
No
Can you screenshot your Mods folder?
by default it's \Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods
I will have too tomorrow because I am in bed now
kk
I did have a pic of my mods folder above, but that’s before I reinstalled some of the mods
Hello, how can I remove "Film Grain"?? I hate it
hey im not sure their is actually film grain, it might just be the art or if there actually is im not sure how to remove it unless you go into the game files
I just got hollow knight on steam to play it with mods, but the mod installer says "Warning! This installer requires the most recent stable version to run. Please update your game to current stable patch and then try again" I just installed Hollow Knight this morning
Looks like mod installer still isn't updated for the newest HK version yet?
you probably have it on the wrong version, mod installer runs on beta 1.4.3.2
yeah
i do have the beta zip file from one of the earlier posts
There should be a pin here. I had a problem after the update too.
do i have to play it through the beta application?
Hollow Knight recently updated to 1.5, which is not yet compatible with mods
To anyone who recently updated HK to 1.5 (Mod Installer says it requires latest stable version):
Until the ModdingAPI is updated, you will need to go back to the previous version (1.4.3.2).
Steam users can opt-in to a "1.4.3.2 Beta" patch, found in Properties > Beta > then selecting it from the drop-down list. See the attached image for a visual guide on doing this. Note: it takes a few minutes to revert the game!
GoG Galaxy users can opt to download 1.4.3.2 by opening the game settings in the GoG launcher and selecting it from the list of patches.
Mac users The 1.5 Update is very wonky for Mac:
- Official teamcherry post on using 1.5 (vanilla) or attempting to use 1432: https://steamcommunity.com/app/367520/discussions/0/3109153465655517517/
- The Steam 1432 Beta should be working for Mac users now, but if not then here's instructions on an alternate method of Downpatching to 1432 on Mac:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NU4yVrTmO9PVuADRxGTIj3JSU2abB9WNwl9vG8dSkFg - Alternatively, Mac users can purchase the game on GoG and use the GoG Galaxy instructions above.
If mods still aren't working, click this link for additional instructions: #archived-modding-help message
Image below is visual guide on using 1432 on Steam
32-bit users should use the 1.4.3.2 version You can install our last 32-bit compatible version by right-clicking Hollow Knight in your Steam library, click Properties, Betas, and select 1.4.3.2. OS Error 4294956470 Running the follow command in a Terminal should fix this (assumes the default Steam library location): /System/Library/Frameworks/Co...
If the game crashes after the loading bar loads, btw, unplug your controller and try again, then plug the controller back in once the loading bar disappears and you see the selection screen.
Idk why it does that, but that's apparently a thing with the 32-bit beta version on Windows I guess
Yes, Mod Installer only works with version 1.4.3.2 I hope they fix it soon so that it works with the latest version of the game.
i already spent 40 hours on the game on xbox and beat it there up until i godmaster. just want some fun with mods. ill see if i got the right version on steam
hi all, quick question regarding multiworld, do we need a randomizer older than 3.12(573) for it to work? Keeps coming up with "MultiWorld.dll" or "MultiWorldMod.dll failed to load", but I can't find anything in the mod log. sorry, still not good with this stuff xD
I'm not familiar with multiworld, but usually the "FAILED TO LOAD" means you're missing a dependency.
Try Vasi, Serecore, SFCore, Frogcore, and Modcommon. Those are the common dependencies. Though I know randomizer also has bench warp and qol as dependencies
Or maybe it is randomizer
Thank you 🙂 Think it might just be that it doesn't work with current randomizer
I can get either the new randomizer to run, or the multiworld mod to run, but not both
help i cant figer out custom knight
it happens to us all
There's a tutorial in the pins, as well as the two drives with the actual skins. Or if you're having technical problems please be more specific
riverbot helps so much
i cant find my hollow knight files to add the pack into
Steam library > right click HK > properties > local files > browse >
(Windows:) Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\Custom Knight\
(Mac:) \Hollow Knight\hollow_knight.app/resources\data\managed\mods
You need all three MultiWorld files, one of which should overwrite the "RandomizerMod3.0" file
These three files need put into your mods folder:

SAD
Why is that sad?
cuz i cant be bothered to down patch again
what buttons
Read the second pin
I think they mean that they'd have to uppatch and then they wouldn't want to downpatch to 1.2.2.1 again
1221 would need to be a separate install
op
i dont really understand but maybe
If you're main Steam install is 1221, then that seems like a silly thing to do.
If you use 1221 for running, then it should really be a separate install.
Your main install can be 1432 easily, and then just set back to 1.5 when mods are supported for it.
ok thx
i installed art mod and then this happened
does anybody know what language this is ?
Uninstall arts mod
How long will it take to update all the mods so that they work with the latest version of the game??
For all of them? Probably forever
8 months
You know what I mean, those mods included in the "Mod Manager"
Automatic mod converter to be done in 7mo? Nice 
For all of them? Probably forever
it'll be bundled with SS
Mods aren't "officially" maintained by anyone.
If a dev of one wants to, they can convert and update it. But a lot of the devs of mods on the installer are no longer active.
Some new devs have taken over on abandoned mods, but not all of them
And even then, the missing API for 1.5 isn't "officially" released yet, and it's still receiving major/mod-breaking updates regularly afaik
on top of that,
can just update 1.5 again and break it all, so there's some hesitancy
That sounds very bad... So maybe we will never have updated versions
doesn't even matter. 1.4.3.2 is just fine
1.5 changes basically nothing except for backend engine stuff
the tutoral for the skin mods says to put the folder without the pictures but i only have one folder and its the picture one btw im trying to use the lapis by thw white knight comunaty
If the folder has several pngs in it, just put it in the custom knight folder and you're good
okay
I would update them all myself if I knew how to do it but I have no idea😫
You can always learn
i have a text box open over the top of my randomizer options how do i close it?
Uninstall Mod Console
thank you
It's not important anyways
that did it much appreciated
how do you actually access the maps loaded with decorationmaster?
If you added a map's files, then it is just added to the room that was edited when you are in that room in the game
ah
I cant launch the Mod Installer, when I click it just nothing happens. I've used it before on this device and it worked before.
does debug mod have a way to warp to areas then
Try the latest pin
No, but benchwarp does
ok how the hell does hollow point work?
ah
how do I get my gun to shoot?
Quit to menu, and reopen the save
Thanks it worked
||I'm pretty sure he's adding a month each time everyone asks||
how do i install speedrun mod?
anyone know the hollowpoint controls?
Tap focus to pull out/put away gun
Thanks
whats QoL?
Quality of Life
It essentially just makes some convenient changes, like making text go faster
oh okay thanks
What are the best options to enable for a good random enemy play through?
with tough bosses like radiance
I mean, that's up to you. I personally just throw on all the settings (-chaos because i don't like how cheap it feels to just walk in and out of a room repeatedly)
Uh what?
Wait for randomizer 3?
yes
I thought you said random enemy
what is just focus option?
and cursed focus is when you have to find the focus ability

Are you in 1.5? In 1.5 mods aren't compatible yet
Many events like that are instead just skipped and the doors are just open
so if I try to go get vengeful spirit the door should open up?
yes, if you randomized items it'll just be open and there'll be an item next to the snail shaman that replaces vengeful spirit
oh okay how about opening the stag station? the lever not there, do I have to find it? or just teleport?
you have to find stag stations, the dirt mouth one can't be opened tho
afaik
Also, you should probably ask in #randomizer or #modding-discussion
oh okay sorry
Can someone help im using the normal modinstaller and my controller clitches in-game for example holding the jump will just give me a short jump
I'm trying to open my modinstaller, but it pops up a window that quickly disappears and nothing opens. Haven't experienced this problem before and unsure what to do
First pinned message
and keyboard works just fine
hmm, that's an odd issue
enable native controller input
doesnt work
disable Vsync
other than that, check if your batteries aren't empty
im using a wired controller
i have trouble using a controller on the vanilla game and i use an app that simulates gamepad presses to do keyboard and mouse inputs
Are you on Mac?
no windows
I think you just need to check the "(Controller type) Configuration Support" for whatever controller type you use
Oh wait, I think it's just the prompt right below step 3, make sure it's on "Enable steam input"
yeah it wont help
It wont or it doesn't?
it doesnt
sorry
and also focusing and using crystal dash doesnt work sometimes
its like the game doesnt understand that im holding the button down
What mods do you have? Can you screenshot the top left corner of your main menu
those
I think you're missing QoL and Vasi
Try downloading those I think it'll fix it
i tried but since the randomizer didnt require those i disabled them and the lagging/clitching...
lets say it wasnt that bad
but ill try since i trust this community more than my own ideas
It does require those
the readme doesnt say so even tho it downloaded those with the randomizer
or im just blind
yo what is most stable version?
The readme doesn't really need to mention that since the installer is supposed to install them with the mod
you need those
2nd pin
oh right
would I ask about the randomizer mod version here or in #modding-discussion
thanks
yes, pretty much everything requires mod common
no
so on or off
rando doesn't require modcommon
ok
oh my bad
is the randomizer version with the new restrictions on swim and stuff not on the modinstaller?
it doesnt work
It is not. You can find it if you head to #randomizer and check the pinned message.
thank you
ok I just want mod installer, but it says it requires the most recent version to run?
but I have the most recent version?

i have this weird thing where whenever i dash but am holding right, the knight will still stop moving for a second. is this a known issue?
i have qol, random pantheon and customknight installed
i do think though, that this has nothing to do with mods
the only one i would suspect is QoL, as that un-patches some glitches
like infinite falling speed when inventory is open
but idk
i don't think its a glitch
or maybe is, but just on this older patch
i disabled all mods, but still occurs
Then you want to head to another channel, probably
does anyone have the 1.5 mod installer for mac?
there is none
oh ok
alright, but i think people here might have alot more knowledge of bugs and how to fix them than in other channels
Is there no tech support channel on main?

Im trying to download an enemy randomizer. The one I downloaded through the mod installer didnt work at all, the second one I downloaded doesnt have a menu (like the one with chaos mode) and deleted half the enemies in the game. Where can I find the newest working version? (PS: I have installed the depencies)
enemy rando on the installer requires modcommon, make sure you have that
I have it, thats why I said I have installed the dependencies
It didnt for me for some reason
There was nothing on the main menu
That was the problem
Screenshot your main menu and also your saves screen.
Ill have to reinstall it first then
Yeah, the one on the installer is the best to use
I have another one now with just a huge "load enemy randomizer"
start the game > go to options > mods > disable enemy rando > enable enemy rando > restart the game
also click the load enemy randomizer button
I did that
It deleted half the enemies
I could still hear them, they were the default ones
But Ill try with the mod installer one now first
Yeah this one has "load enemy randomizer" now too, but no menu with options
You mean "enemy randomizer" at the very bottom? When I click that it doesnt do anything
But it might have to load first
Ah, the menu works now. Thanks!
Lets see if this one doesnt delete enemies
hi guys, i m new to the server and in hk modding and I have a problem that I find no topics about. I downloaded the installer. I know that the latest game patch is a mess for modding so I'll switch my game version but the problem is something weirder. When I'm trying to launch the .exe of installer, a window pops up briefly (0.5 sec) with "microsoft.net framework" title but the window is blank, not like in pins. I thought it was due to my firewall, so I enabled it. But nothing seems to work either.. Any suggestions/help ? ;-;
just launch it via steam..?
hmm ok I'll try
Sounds like you need the first pinned message
ah nah xd
but ye 1st pinned message should be it probs
I ll check then
Someone knows what happened here? I got the mods installed by reverting to an 1.4.3.2
But when starting the game i just get here, unable to do anything but alt + f4?
ty guys it worked xd
What mods do you have installed?
looks like missing vasi mod
Ah, thought so but wasn't certain
I’m interested on the randomizer mods. I was wondering if it supported ubuntu 18+. I have both ubuntu and windows but use basically only ubuntu but if there are some major problems or no support for ubuntu I don’t mind having to reset everytime I wanna play HK lol. What would you guys recommend?
I’m not familiar with ubuntu, but the internet seems to say it’s a linux os, and the installer does work on linux, tho you might need mi2. I think it should be fine but test it out
Also before you try it, make sure to check out the pinned messages, specifically the second one
Yes it’s a linux os. Thanks for your time
I've watched the last Skurry's vod (on the vod channel) and i saw he has new cursed settings for randomizer, and idk why but i didn't get the uptade so i'm asking for a little help
im starting to think that waiting for the installer to get updated to 1.5 was a poor idea
One question: Is it possible to install mod installer having HK on xbox game pass?
sadly no
only the steam version right?
steam and gog, though i think it's not on sale on either store
There is a version that has not been put on the installer yet. Head to #randomizer
Thanks, I think that might be it!
Gonna try that later 🙂
ok cool but then how can i install is?
Download the file from the pinned messages, then move it to your mods folder
Mod installer now works on newest version?
No

Well i will try with Windows + R
Ok done
I try again to open up the installer?
yes
It shows "Access denied to access rute"

move your installer to desktop and run as admin
are there any working invincibility mods for ver 1.5.75?
thisone crashes my game
no. but you can downpatch to 1.4.3.2 and use the installer to install debug mod
which has invincibility as one of the functions
when i run hollow knight the unity thing comes up and then disappears but hollow knight doesn't launch, it just closes
will my saves get busted if i downgrade to 1.4.3.2?
well
i have them backed up
so i guess it doesn't matter
Hello, the pale court or the sanctuary mod have release date?
The answer is no though, fwiw. 1432 and 1.5 use the same saves

Hey i need help with the Custom Knight Mod. I downloaded 2 skins from the white palace skinpack and put them in the correct folders. When i press escape in game they show up under the default selection, but when clicked my character does not change. Am i doing something wrong?
Just ask the question lol
the hollow point soul issue is persisting even after i follow all of the pinned instructions
he helped me wtih it yesterday and im wayyy too lazy to go through the whole problem
- do you have ModCommon
- did you actually make the paths correctly? There can't be extra folders
but basically look at the pin to do with Soul Issue after using HollowPoint mod
i did that
but it didnt work
Which method did you use?
the automatic
but hwen that didnt work i did the manual
and it's still not appearing in my pause menu
Mod Common is active and i went down the directory of hollow_knight_Data > Managed > Mods > CustomKnight
do i have to ave the modinstaller?
What isn't appearing? If no mods are appearing, then a mod that fixes it won't work lol
But the directory after that is important too.
It needs to go CustomKnight > Skinname > image files
my pause menu
So then you need to enable mods / moddingapi
how?
Did you disable them before?
uhh... if i did i did it accidentally
It matters because:
- if you did disable them (either by using Verify Integrity, or by clicking "disable all mods" on mod installer), then you just need to re-enable them with mod installer.
- if you didn't, then something bugged, and you'll need to go delete some global settings files
ok
well i deleted mod installer
maybe that's why
should i re install it?
If you want to use a mod to fix the problem, then yes
but the mod isn't installed from ModInstaller
You can manually edit the save file. The pin has information on doing that as well.
Modding api is though
ok
ok ill work on it later
but now i gtg
ill be back in like 2 hours
i need help
My game is cracked, I installed mod installer, but I don't know which folder I should select for it to work, forgive my english, this is not my native language
buy the game
The game goes on sale very frequently.
Keep an eye out on isthereanydeal.com for sales.
Pirated copies don't work for modding.
Specifically, you'll need the game from Steam itself, or GoG
what pathway do I use for custom knight skins mac
Me bout to mcfricken snap
i keep getting an error that says the Baulder.png is being used by another program and i cant figure out whats wrong
click continue
Go to your mods folder.
As long as you've launched CK once, you should have a CustomKnight folder in it
Ive done that 17 times now i swear
Every time i do that i get errors that keep my game from launching
I can't find my mods folder
right click your game app, show contents
then it should be at contents\resources\data\managed\mods
Possibly try restarting your computer. Unless you're editing the image file, it shouldn't be in use.
After that, if you keep getting errors, screenshot them and post them
Got it to work, got no idea how but it works now
is 1.5 supported yet?
no

How do i uninstall the mods from the game if i click revert back to unmodded it says unable to locate vanilla hollowknight please verify integrity of game files and relaunch the installer
can someone pls help
go to steam > right click hk > properties > local files > verify integrity
cuz i had it in the beta to get the mods to work but now i dont want it cuz its laggy
wait what
if you go out of the beta
welp
???
confusion
Its not in beta rn
just do this and start the installer
see what happens
if you don't want mods, don't open the installer
just verify integrity, then play the game
confusion noises
go to steam > right click hk > properties > local files > verify integrity
do this
then play the game
ok
you can go back from the beta whenever
ok
if you want to fix the laggy stuff, we could probably do that tho
how do i uninstall the mod installer from my computer
assuming your PC is decent
uhh idk about that one
you on a laptop?
yh
@real jacinth is there a way to make it like not lag with mods
tbh i only really wanted multiplayer for like 3 hours now it seems odd to play a singleplayer game with more people
the lag you're experiencing is likely from the game downpatch itself plus your machine strength
there's a few things we can do though to reduce or eliminate it

so do i have to install all the mods i want, and after that i can turn back the game to the current update?
I don't know how to answer that
if there were no changes, why would the patch exist
so obviously there's changes
that makes sense
okay, thank you ^^
Hi, so im new to the whole modding thing. I downloaded the modinstaller but its telling me to update my hollow knight (which its at its most current version) so im not sure how to fix this issue. If anyone has recommendations on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated 🙂
read the readme
oh i didnt know it was that easy lol thanks guys 😄
hey, how do i get the update for the rando mod?
sweet thanks so much
modinstaller seems to think there isnt an update
because there is no released update
wait then what's skurry streaming rn?
it says its the randomizer but theres new settings for randomizing charm cost and an item that is needed to swim in normal water
that version isn't released yet
if you want it, you can get it from the rando github, or from the speedrunner server randomizer announcements channel
it's a beta build. once released, it'll go on the installer
ok, thanks. any chance i could get a link to the github?
thanks
Is it possible to put a path of the files into ModInstaller? I have the windows version of HK and ModInstaller can't access the WindowsApps folder
Is mod installer not compatible with 1.5 yet?
no
Alright thanks
windows version meaning microsoft store?
Yeah
RIP
i'll try asking again, does anybody know why modinstaller closes right as i open it?
i recently check file integrity on steam for HK, could that have done a no-no?
is it on your desktop and are you running as admin
both
first pin
i am confused how to install mods
ive browsed through the pins but still havin some trouble getting it to work
What's the problem exactly?
i tried to run the mod installer and got the unexpected exception occured i saw in the pins. just not sure where to go to reset it
There's several errors with that title, can you send a screenshot please
the game runs at low fps (even tho it says 60 fps) and my screen like flickers
The part that matters is the "Sequence contains no matching element" double check that your error has that
no its apparently somethin else
i dont know input for screenshot so i can send image of it
Windows?
yes
Windows + Shift + S is what I use
computer doesnt seem to care about that
eh can you just copy paste the text from that part then
i did try that and the window doesnt wanna let me
says somethin like
couldnt load system runtime interop services osplatform
oh that one
ah good its common
uhh, maybe not
Something like this right?
you need to update your .net framework
and probably your OS too
so search for windows updates. and after that, download the most recent .net framework from microsoft
I think this is the right version of the .nat framework https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net472
Or atleast the minimum necessary version
dang. yeah i gotta wait a bit to get a better windows version. computers runnin on old one. guess i gotta wait til i get that sorted out first. thanks
Does anyone know when the mod installer will be compatible with the recent version of hollow knight?
unless you're on like win98 or some shit
8 months
windows 7 apparently but i need a new key cuz apparently this version isnt good according to computer. will be getting a new one in a few months.
unfortunate
wasnt aware itd cause issues for modding since everything else works fine
what can ya do
(aside from buying a new key i guess)
thank you for help though
i got the randomizer mod for fun, but how do I start a new save without it?
uninstall it
so there's no way to disable it?
also is it going to affect my old saves
which old saves
i have a vanilla save I don't want to mess with, is it going to randomize that?
it won't randomize it, but it'll change some flags, especially with shops
not a good idea to open saves you care about while randomizer is installed
I'm trying to use the Mod Installer but it won't even open.
first pin
absolutely same
Ok
sick
I'm trying to find the HKInstaler Json
hey, I'm messing around with the pallete swapper mod, it mentions having settings, but I cannot find them for the life of me. Is there somewhere in particular to look for them, or maybe a dependancy mod?
where your saves are

sweet thx @real jacinth I'll look there
are you using installer 2?
indeed
Installer 1
then why are you looking for hkinstaller.json
Well I'm stupid as fuck
hmm I found all of the other mod settings, but not for the pallete swapper. I'll try relaunching
Okay that worked. Great
if you haven't run the game with it installed yet, you have to for it to generate a settings file
otherwise, check out the mod's readme
if it has settings somewhere else
ok I found the readme, it seems its in the saves folder, thx
The modInstaller say I have to update the game but I have the last version

I got the hollow knight mulitplayer mod me and my friend joined ip adress (i host) he doesn't have multiplayer server mod enabled and we still cant see eachother what do i do?
Make sure you both have modcommon. your port should be "26950". And check that hamachi doesn't have any errors and that the circles next to you and your friend are green. Also make sure that you're using the right ip, which would be the host players ipv4 address. And one more thing of note, there's a different multiplayer mod called HKMP or Hollow Knight Multiplayer, that's more stable than the one on the installer and has some extra features. More information on the github page: https://github.com/Extremelyd1/HKMP
the game runs at low fps (even tho it says 60 fps) and my screen like flickers
plus hkmp has a readme aaaand: https://www.notion.so/21723018c74c41d3bc555ee9cfaeb743
Vsync? FrameCap?
mods? patch?
machine specs?
Potato?

disable Vsync
hold on this is a dumbass question but i forgot how to open the mod loader is it just the modinstaller.exe
nvm vsync was off
double click it
cuz that ain't working
1st pin?
why can't you turn on fullscreen in modded?
alt+ enter
also how would turning v-sync off help
bc its bad for hk
i keep turning invincible for 0 reason, and it only happened since installing the randomizer mod
it also makes me unable to pickup geo, for some reason
what are you doing?
I'm using installer2, and it asks for the location perfectly. However, when I press yes for the location, the installer just stops responding. I have deleted both the application and the HKInstallerSettings.json several times to try and get it to work, but it doesn't. Any ideas?
only way to fix it is to save and quit, which is rlly inconvenient cause it loses me alot of time sometimes
I am doing randomizer 3 with only key item randomization with the map tracker mod, how would I get to greenpath with only isma's tear and city crest? The map tracker says I can get to the area before lake of unn, to get 2 items, how would I be able to?

what charms do you have?
you can swim
you might have a baulder killer

oh
oh right, I forgot to check that path lol
can anyone answer my previous question?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
fuckin brilliant
wow, manners
thanks anyway
if they didnt answer its prob cause they dont know how to help
also, a random icon for the custom placement tokens keeps appearing on screen and disappears when I open the map, how would I stop that? it appears outside the map
or b/c there wasn't enough background information.
what's the key bind for randomiser menu?
like... your OS, where you got the game, etc
there isn't one
ya, idk how to ix it for good, just open/close your map
that fixes it
you start a new save file
game from steam, my os is windows 10
so use installer 1
aight
yeah so installer1 didnt even open
are there any other API's i can use or are these two it?
those aren't API
did you follow the first pin
if you have previously opened/downloaded installer 1 prior to.... like 5 days ago, you need to follow the first pin
ill try that tomorrow and let you know the results thanks for your help
Idk how but my game turned to dutch lol
Hi, so after the new update installed I haven't been able to get any of the mods to work, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the modinstaller, but I keep getting a message telling me to update the game to a stable patch. What do I do?

Yeah i changed it back but like, how


Thank you
Yeah im having a bit of trouble, i had to update debug and now my mods arent working
You mean mods names aren't showing up in the top left of the title screen?
Can you please elaborate "doesn't work" is very nondescript
Same with the loading bar
and what does this mean
The loading bar wont show up which means something is wrong
what patch are you on
1.4.3.2
screenshot your installer and your title screen
No im just using void, though the achievments. are wack and there is jo kusic
close your game. go to your saves spot, and delete all files with globalsettings in the name

Ah okay, thank you
Aight so does deleting the global settings delete or change saves?
i assume you mean the backup version, so yes
Ight now that i did it what do i do
Do j reapply them?
You launch the game
I am stuck again with randomizer 3, I have both directions of mothwing cloak, isma's tear, vengeful spirit, and city crest, also cyclone slash, where can I go with that without skips? I have fought hornet in greenpath, and got the items from the original location of the claws, and ancestral mound item, I only have key items being randomized
wait, does lumafly lantern unlock anything?
Yes. You're best off looking for help in #randomizer for these kinds of things, though
You can get into Crystal Peak
I was thinking that was for anything about randomizers, but that channel being in the speedrunning section threw me off
Yeah, it's kind of in an erroneous place.
Im having a problem where it forces me out of hollow knight when i attempt to open it. It gives me a message saying "i don't have permission to open this" and im fairly sure this is a dumb mac thing, but ive done everything in my power to try and fix it, and only hk isn't working. All of my other apps are fine, but hk says no. according to someone in #hk-help it will go away after a couple weeks, but id rather not wait.
It doesn't seem to an individual mod messing everything up, since I uninstalled all of my mods, but maybe an issue with the mod installer?
I'm pretty sure it was an issue caused by changing versions of HK in general. Have you read through the
post linked in the second pin
?
that seems to be the case, Thank u 
I have the mod installer and I changed my HK game to version 1.4.3.2, but HK still does not have the mods. Any ideas why this is happening?
Would it be a good idea to use the multiplayer mod for my friend's first time playing through the game, or is it too buggy/unfinished (or some other reason)?
yes
you can do whatever you want. but there's no enemy sync or progress sync
it just shows position of each player. their game is their own
so if you want to watch your friend play the game while running next to them.... then sure!
me and another friend both used it for our first playthroughs so i say yes
me (the friend)
Ok, thanks!
so now that is all good, I have the mod installer and I changed my HK game to version 1.4.3.2, but HK still does not have the mods. Any ideas why this is happening? (help pls)
Try the “If mods still aren’t working” section of the second pinned message
Does anyone know/have an estimate for when 1.5 will start having modding capability?
where do i get the new randomizer update?
Rando Beta-Updates are primarily released on the Speedrunning Discord (which has a dedicated Rando section of channels).
Here's a download link to the current one: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/836256114659033098/851555030417801216/RandomizerMod3.0.dll
Check the #randomizer pins for more info tho
thank you!
Hello! I booted up my game and one of the mods wasn't working and it told me to check ModLog.txt and I don't really know what im looking for. can anyone help?
i found the file btw i just dont know what any of this means
im getting this error when trying to download custom knight, any solutions?
That means you’re missing a dependency. Which mod is failing to load?
it was rando map mod
I think that one requires ModCommon and possibly Randomizer 3
i have them both
i checked the readme and it said it only needed those two to work but i have both installed and working
Hm, can you screenshot the top left corner of your main menu
Make sure that the modinstaller is on your desktop and that you run as administrator. Also make sure the game is closed when you run the installer. It may help to restart your pc if that doesn't work
yeah one minute
I have the mod installer up and running, but the mods don't show up when I open the game. Any fixes?
In the top left corner of your main menu that area is empty?
correct
From the title screen, open the options menu and check if there's a "Mods" tab
there is, and there's nothing in it
I just reinstalled the mod installer, since I've been having this problem for a while now and thought that would help
Follow the steps in this pinned message, mainly the part about "Benchwarp Fix", but probably best to just delete all of the globalsettings files
It's not my saves that's the problem, it's the mods not loading
is there an invincibility mod? want to practice godhome
Look at the bottom of the message about saves not loading, the part about "Benchwarp fix"
Debug mod
@native ice thanks
there is no benchwarp file
Screenshot the folder you're in
Delete any file with globalsettings in it’s name
Launch the game
That's normal and fine
okay
Try the "If mods still aren't working" section of the second pinned message
well that's confusing
Like I said, I've been down this path before twice
And you did it while the game was closed right?
Double check that the at the bottom of the mod installer it doesn't say "Enable Modding API" it should be on since it made a new globalsettings file but just incase
no
I assume you're in 1.4.3.2?
yes
I'm out of ideas, what mods do you have installed?
i cannot figure out how to install the modder
What exactly are you stuck on?
it says i need the most stable version to run it

Hi! I was wondering if there was a modding API for version 1.4.3.2. If there is could somebody please link it to me? btw i know what the mod installer is but I prefer the API.
The modinstaller installs the api automatically, but if you're intent on downloading it manually, it can found in the google drive of mods below

im having a problem with launching modded but I cant describe so can I screenshare to someone
I have a question. I have the mod installed that lets me change the Knight's skin, but at this point it looks like i need to dowload skins separately. Are there any as part of the mod installer, otherwise where else would i get some?
Uh, I can't do that but can you try and describe the issue?
