ever since I updated to new version of scarab, I'm not able to pick up any geo, not even using gathering swarm. It still makes the pickup sound, but just stays on the ground. Also not sure if it's related but custom knight also stopped working (it doesn't show up in the mod menu but does in the top left) the two mods I was using were moresaves and customknight, moresaves seems to still work fine. Anyone know what I can try to fix this?

im using 1.4.2.3 mod installer and I downloaded like half the mods but the second half of them just dont download then the modinstaller crashes and I have more than enough storage, i also have the error if you need it (I have not tried just downloading one at a time instead of in bulk)

gloomy obsidian
#

i do have Satchel in the top left of my screen, is that what you mean?

#

found answer in the pins

reef locust
#

i fixed it downloading but now when I disable the mods it instantly crashes and uninstalls

west bane
#

what OS, which installer, where is the installer, where did you game the game, can you screenshot the mods folder

reef locust
#

wot

tough leaf
#

could someone help me out im trying to download the mod installer but when I look up a vid to help me out its a different mod installer on discord\

west bane
#

what OS - what operating system
which installer - which installer are you using
where is the installer - where is it in your pc
where did you game the game - where did you buy the game (typo)
can you screenshot the mods folder - can you take a computer picture of the folder where the mods are

reef locust
#

Mod installer 2, Data D: > steamapps > common > Hollow knight, steam

tough leaf
#

i dont know how to answer half of those questons

west bane
#

that's cause it's not meant for you

tough leaf
#

?

reef locust
west bane
#

that's = that is
cause = because
it's = it is
not meant for you = not meant for you

tough leaf
#

?

reef locust
#

didnt know which one

west bane
#

drop one of the modinstaller error logs here

reef locust
#

k

#

theres a few

west bane
#

can you screenshot the installer, and what mods does this occur with

#

and does this also happen with modinstaller 1

reef locust
#

the mods that dont work are spread out between the entire loader

#

so I might have to send multiple pics

#

also for that error I sent they are not all like that that was for a certain mod I get an error for every mod

west bane
#

drop the most recent one

reef locust
#

k'

#

error?

west bane
#

yes

#

and does this happen with modinstaller 1

reef locust
#

no

#

I mean yes

#

sorry

west bane
#

you can also try running modinstaller2 as admin on your desktop

#

but you also have enough mods to chunk or crash your game so

reef locust
#

they are all disabled

#

not enabled

west bane
#

taht showed them all in the enabled folder

reef locust
#

???

west bane
#

these are all enabled because your disabled folder is there, so youre not in the disabled folder, so they're not disabled

reef locust
#

so I put them in disabled?

west bane
#

well i would note what mods don't work, delete majority of those, then see if the mod downloads still work, i don't see why anyone would need that many mods

reef locust
#

k thx

#

Hi, I have a question. The multiplayer mod is for the version 1.4.3.2 only?

reef locust
native ice
#

If you're talking about the "Multiplayer Client" and "Multiplayer Server", those are only on 1.4, but they're outdated. Instead you should be using HKMP, available on both patches but only on the 1.5 installer #archived-modding-help message

narrow night
#

Oh! I found it. Thanks 6274_Deku_Smile

azure smelt
#

When i try to install modinstaller, it says i need to update to latest patch

keen echo
#

How do you share items when playing HKMP?

west bane
royal abyss
#

is scarab used for mods for the latest update?

#

and also hi everyone i hope everyone is good <3

mossy smelt
#

I recently changed patches because on linux because my 1432 patch didn't have controller support so I was looking for something more updated
I followed this and there were no effects
I was also trying to do a clean wipe of modding and found this #archived-modding-help message, I noticed there were other .globalsettings files in that folder but I wasn't told to delete them, should I have?
I thought I'd be able to get the "first run" behavior, with the prompt to select the folder and all, after I deleted all files and reinstalled the game, but I haven't after several deletions and reboots. Can I get some help on installing with Scarab?

Discord

Discord is the easiest way to communicate over voice, video, and text. Chat, hang out, and stay close with your friends and communities.

#

👍

bold plinth
#

also every time I've opened Scarab the "toggle API" button is greyed out and I haven't been able to find out what that means

idle cloak
#

game starts just fine but mods dont load and mod menu is empty in game but mods are present in the folder help pls (1.4)

bold plinth
#

I think I broke something by deleting the "mods" folder when I was trying to delete all of the HK modding stuff manually, but I have no idea how to fix it because uninstalling the game and Scarab then reinstalling both doesn't recreate the mods folder

native ice
bold plinth
native ice
native ice
#

Ignore it

bold plinth
#

let me try to launch the game again

#

ok cool it works now and BingoUI didn't load

bold plinth
#

controller support works too

#

only test left is to see if it all works on reboot

#

aaaand it does, cool!

#

Well if anyone else on Pop_OS 21.10 or ubuntu comes in here in the future bemoaning Switch Pro controller support not working, I can at least say Scarab did work and ModInstaller2 did not.

does mod installer two need to be put into my hollow knight or is it automatic?

mossy smelt
#

just open it

#

It'll find hk on its own, or ask if it can't

Hello, I have a problem, I have a dark past of piracy but I am buying my favorite games, Hollow Knight being one of them

#

The problem I have is that when I had it illegal I put the life bars mod on it, but the mod installer recognized that I had it hacked, now that I have it legal I want the mod again, but it only opens the alert that the game it is not bought

mossy smelt
red condor
mossy smelt
#

you're using a 1.4.3.2 installer on a 1.5 game

red condor
#

Oh ok

#

Thanks

mossy smelt
#

what os, what installer?

idle cloak
#

modinstaller 2 windows 10

#

1.4 game

mossy smelt
#

is there any reason you have to be on 1.4.3.2 instead of 1.5? cause if not then you can just update and it'll probably be fine

idle cloak
#

modinstaller 2 works on 1.5?

mossy smelt
#

no, but scarab does

idle cloak
#

scarab doesnt have multiplayer

mossy smelt
#

yes it does

idle cloak
#

?

#

where

mossy smelt
#

hkmp

idle cloak
#

it wasnt on the list

#

lemme check

mossy smelt
#

oh

#

if you were looking to use multiplayer client/multiplayer server, don't

#

those are super outdated and buggy

#

hkmp is better

idle cloak
#

ok

#

btw i found it

mossy smelt
#

it has 1.4.3.2 and 1.5 versions anyway

idle cloak
#

imma test it in a sec

#

i got it working now thx

For some reason modinstaller isnt working on my macbook,any download links?

#

starting a randomizer 3.5 on 1.5 crashes immediately, using these (default rando settings, Pop_OS 21.10)

wary abyss
pliant lantern
#

Scarab doesn't open correctly on MacOS
🔹 Move the file you downloaded (mac.zip) to your Desktop
🔹 Double-Click it, and Scarabomegamaggotprime should appear
🔹 Right-Click the Scarabomegamaggotprime icon, and select "show contents"
🔹 Go into the MacOS folder, and then double-click the "Scarab" file.

#

If for some reason you're using 1432, the same thing applies

mossy smelt
#

that should totally be pinned

don't skip to the last step

warm leaf
#

is custom knight supported on 1.5?

#

i cant acces pastebin

#

:p

mossy smelt
#

yes

warm leaf
#

thanks!

bold plinth
mossy smelt
#

huh, maybe it's one of those mods that doesn't show up on the title screen? I don't remember

#

uhh, try playing with just vasi, benchwarp, qol, and rando3.5 enabled

bold plinth
#

already did, same thing happens

warm leaf
#

scarab dies when i try to install custom knight

#

should i erase the old files of the mod?

mossy smelt
#

that's an issue I've been hearing a lot today, dunno if there's a fix

#

can't hurt to try

#

scarab 1.6 seems to be having issues with customknight

warm leaf
#

lets see

pliant lantern
#

That's odd

#

Try Installing Satchel first, then when it's done loading install Custom Knight?

warm leaf
#

let me see

#

i already had it

#

:p

#

maybe reinstalling

pliant lantern
#

In the folder with Scarab, is there a crash log?

bold plinth
warm leaf
#

yeah

pliant lantern
#

Can you post that log?

warm leaf
#

let me get it

pliant lantern
frank haven
#

help 😭

warm leaf
#

you can go to hollow knight properties

#

then go to local files

#

then browse

mossy smelt
warm leaf
#

oh, thats important

#

yes

pliant lantern
mossy smelt
#

don't think that's the problem, tons of people have had issues with installing customknight today

pliant lantern
#

From what I gather, it crashed just because it was "interrupted" while doing something.

red condor
#

What does "Silk song but not really" does?

mossy smelt
#

what?

red condor
#

It says you can play as hornet

mossy smelt
#

oh, the mod

pliant lantern
red condor
#

But the real hornet, the boss and use her attacks, or just a skin?

pliant lantern
#

You do not use her attacks

#

You do use her Sprites though

warm leaf
#

just custom knight

#

maybe installing custom knight manually?

red condor

Hi! I was trying to download the Mod Installer in order to play in Randomizer mode, but it keeps telling me to use the latest version of the game. I play on version 1.5.78 (as far as I know it's the latest version). Are there any newer versions that I don't know or is this a mod bug anyway?

Hi, I'm trying to run the mod installer and I'm getting the problem Lupi is getting. How is it you fix this so I may get some QoL Mods?

Custom Knight isn't showing up for my friend in the menu. We have the exact same mods, files, etc, versions, etc, but it works for me. The only difference is that he's on Windows 11, so that may affect it. (I'm on Windows 10). Any suggestions?

dense shuttleBOT
native ice
#

Download Scarab

analog prawn
#

just donloaded

#

downloaded

#

now what to do

native ice
#

Use that instead of mod installer

#

Unzip the folder it came in, move it to your desktop, run scarab.exe

analog prawn
#

opened

#

now what

ivory cloud
#

Whenever I load the mods into hollow knight it changes the language however I can't turn it back to English what do I do?

native ice

#

Thank you

#

like do we make a hk copy or use normal folder

native ice
#

Use your game files

analog prawn
#

For anyone that uses my example Custom Knight skin install image, but isn't on the Modding server for w/e reason, here's an updated version for 1578 CK:

native ice
# analog prawn

Try going to your steam library > right clicking HK > properties > local files > Verify integrity of game files > wait for it to finish > Open scarab, install any mod

analog prawn
#

i dont have steam

native ice
#

Where did you get the game from?

analog prawn
#

i bought it from a shop

#

a man gave me a disk

#

use and throw one

native ice
#

uh

analog prawn
#

yes

pliant lantern
#

You must have a legitimate copy of the game to use mods

#

Currently only the Steam and official GoG ones work with modding.

#

Both are on sale right now as well, and Steam does regional pricing if you're in an area where that applies.

native ice
#

How does the collectors edition disk work? Does it just not? I know collectors edition comes with a steam code though

pliant lantern
#

It would have been whatever patch the game was on when that came out

native ice
#

ah

analog prawn
#

i dont know what you are talking about

#

nut

#

i mean but

#

i can show you my directory

pliant lantern
#

Without steam or GoG Galaxy, you'll probably have to re-install the game to fix it, assuming you do have a legitmate disc copy

#

That copy isn't compatible with mods though most likely

#

as it's from an older patch of the game

analog prawn
#

no its 1.5

mossy smelt
#

what version of 1.5?

#

current patch is 1.5.78.11833

pliant lantern
#

If it's a random disc with current patch, then it's not a legitimate copy

#

AFAIK, current patch hasn't been released on a disc

analog prawn
#

yes i have 1.5.68.11808

#

so what can i do now my game is not opening

mossy smelt
#

yep, that's definitely a pirated version

#

it's the verison fitgirl used lmao

analog prawn
#

oo

#

is it

mossy smelt
#

can only mod legitimate copies

analog prawn
#

what can i do

mossy smelt
#

buy the game

analog prawn
#

my game does not open

mossy smelt
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

analog prawn
#

well i have buy it once from the so my mom wont allow me to buy it again

#

lol rip me

kind shore
#

rip to our fallen soldier

analog prawn
#

yes

#

i hope it come in mystery game on epic games

kind shore
#

YOOO IT WORKS! thank you for the help RiverRobot sempai

So, legitimate question. I've got a handful of mods installed, I'll list them here. Benchwarp, Bonfire, Custom Knight, HP Bar, FSFNA (Fragile Nail Arts), ModCommon, MoreSaves, QoL, Rando3, SereCore, SFCore, Vasi and WeaverCore. Why is it in Kings Pass I am just levitating if I jump? And why can't I bench at dirtmouth?

Downloaded is there something else I have to do? Went and tested it and still got fury of the fallen unless it somehow randomized into itself..

mossy smelt
#

did you see a config screen when making a new save?

ivory cloud
#

No

wet fox
# ivory cloud No

What mods do you have installed? Try installing ModCommon, WeaverCore, and MoreSaves

#

(Moresaves so you can just have an additional save, so you can have 3 normal runs and 1 rando)

native ice
native ice
# ivory cloud No

Do any of the mod names show up in the top left of the main/pause menu?

ivory cloud
#

Benchwarp
Corrupted Kin
Custom Knight
Enemy Randomizer
Item changer
Mod Common

Qol?
Randomizer 3
Vasi

That's a yes?

They're not showing up in-game?

#

#

when i downloaded the mods thing it wont update the modding API, anyone got any solutions?

ivory cloud
#

What should I open the mods with? Fire fox
Explorer
Notepad
Paint?
Windows media
WordPad
Or something I should download?

native ice
#

In-game, if you open the options menu, is there a mods tab?

ivory cloud
#

Yes there is a mod tab but it is blank

native ice
#

Try this

ivory cloud
#

It asks for a way to open the files what do I select?

native ice
ivory cloud
#

Windows + R I typed what Mickey said for windows and after I press OK it asks for my "How do you want to open this file?" am I doing something wrong?

native ice
#

Screenshot what you typed

ivory cloud
#

This exactly

native ice
#

and when you click ok what does it show you?

ivory cloud
native ice
#

Okay

#

So what's the problem here?

#

||This is why I just link the .bat at this point. It's easier zote||

wait so do i install the windows.zip thingy?

digital grove
#

i got a critical structure corruption from installing and open scarab

pliant lantern
#

Did you unzip it, and move the new folder out of your downloads folder?

digital grove
#

yep

#

do i move all of the unzipped files or just the application

real jacinth
#

all

pliant lantern
#

The entire folder

real jacinth
#

everything

#

all together

#

any more synonyms? kappa

digital grove
#

ok thank you

real jacinth
#

100% of them

real jacinth
#

why cant you install it

pliant lantern
#

Because Scarab is borked rn

real jacinth
#

does it work if you delete the relevant folder and then restart scarab

Hello everyone. this is my first try modding hk and I ran into a issue. When I click on the download link it downloads and I verify it. But then it gives me a "warning" saying that the game needs to be updated before I completely download the mod loader. But I just checked for a update and there isn't one. What do I do?

real jacinth
#

?pins

dense shuttleBOT
real jacinth
#

you're using a 1432 installer on a 1.5 game

charred spire
#

Ok so forgive me for asking a potentially stupid question which link do I click?

real jacinth
#

depends

charred spire
#

On what?

real jacinth
#

if you intend to stay on current patch, you use scarab

charred spire
#

Ok

real jacinth
#

if you want to downpatch, you can use either installer 1 or 2, depending on your OS

charred spire
#

So that would be the top link?

#

for current patch

real jacinth
#

yes, that's what it says

novel bronze
#

I downpatched my game trough steam, but I am unable to run the game here on Mac, how can I fix this?

real jacinth
#

3rd pin

#

the steamcommunity link

charred spire
#

So do i download all of the files that the link i clicked on showed me?

pliant lantern
mossy smelt
charred spire
#

the current patch scarab 56

real jacinth
#

i wonder if the modlinks update from 3 days ago messed it up

mossy smelt
charred spire
#

windows

real jacinth
#

then you download windows.zip

mossy smelt
#

So do you want the mac version?

charred spire
#

Sorry i didnt notice the labels

real jacinth
#

tyra's updated successfully though

charred spire
#

I clicked on the download link what do i do now?

real jacinth
#

then they just cleared the globalsettings file

real jacinth
real jacinth
#

their CK updated to 1.6

#

but they had this issue

#

so a settings clear worked

charred spire
real jacinth
#

you downloaded a zip

#

so unzip it

#

and use it

mossy smelt
#

unzip the zip on your desktop
run the program

MacOS users

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.

#

so you did this ^

#

after doing this:

#

did you wait long enough for the downpatch?

#

it takes a few minutes

#

and even sits on 100% for awhile

real jacinth
#

i believe you, it's just weird

#

especially for first time installers

#

tyra was a version updater

#

and was the only one i interacted with

#

so dunno about the others

weak knot
#

i was installing a custom knight skin when it said i gotta replace some files in Hollow_Knight_data, did the process and when i launched the game it says "PreloadData" is missing, replaced the modded files with normal ones and its still showing, what the heck im supposted to do

real jacinth
#

what did you replace

weak knot
#

wait hold up

#

i replaced stuff like sharedassets

pliant lantern
#

Extract .zip.

Open Scarab and install Satchel.
Then when it's done, click "open mods folder" at bottom left.
Move the Custom Knight folder into the mods folder.

(Double check: directly inside of the Custom Knight folder, there should be a CustomKnight.dll . If there isn't, then you have an extra folder on accident)

weak knot
#

and also globalgamemanagers.assets

charred spire
#

I think i got it. Thank you everyone for bearing with me and helping me. Much Appreciated

real jacinth
#

what skin were you installing that is having you replace asset files

weak knot
#

from white palace team

#

kakyoin one

real jacinth
#

you might have to be on 1432 if you're replacing assets

weak knot
#

whats 1432

mossy smelt
#

1.4.3.2

weak knot
#

oh

#

like

weak knot
#

uh version of hollow knight?

mossy smelt
#

what else

pliant lantern
frail plinth
#

can i get some help

#

i have the original hollow knight but the mod installer doesnt work

wheat orchid
pliant lantern
# real jacinth so dunno about the others

tamershrug
For the only person I've interacted with about it, they didn't have the fiber installed at all it seems. I'm not sure if it's failing to extract the .zip?
Like, both modlinks and Scarab updated, so it's hard to tell which broke.

Apparently in addition to Custom Knight, God Seeker Plus has been giving people issues.

frail plinth
#

on steam

weak knot
#

try scarab maybe

frail plinth
#

im using 1.4.3.2 version

wheat orchid
#

Don’t use scarab then

weak knot
#

then mod installer should work

frail plinth
#

can someone send me a link to a mod installer that actually works ?

weak knot
#

are u on windows or mac

frail plinth
#

windows

weak knot
#

idk then

winter wagon
#

?i

dense shuttleBOT
weak knot
#

so uh how can i fix this preloaddata missing thing

wheat orchid
#

Can you screenshot this error?

frail plinth
#

im gonna try this mod installer

weak knot
#

alright

wheat orchid
#

Can’t

weak knot
#

here

frail plinth
#

tnx its workingi guess

wheat orchid
#

You can’t mod it

#

I already told you

pliant lantern
#

The game is on sale for a few more days

#

If you want to mod, then now's a good time to get it

weak knot
#

god

wheat orchid
weak knot
#

uh

#

i think 1.5 not sure

wheat orchid
#

Did you downpatch or not? (If you don’t know, no)

weak knot
#

what does it mean

#

i mean idk

wheat orchid
#

Which mod installer are you using

weak knot
#

scarab

#

i think that explains that im on 1.5?

wheat orchid
#

Nah, people often use a installer for the wrong ver

weak knot
#

i mean scarab worked for me

wheat orchid
#

When did this problem start?

weak knot
#

today

#

when i replaced the files

charred spire
#

On the current patch mod loader are there custom skins or is that a different download

wheat orchid
mossy smelt
#

customknight

#

@weak knot verify file integrity and remod

wheat orchid
#

All installers have CustomKnight

weak knot
wheat orchid
#

Skin files?

weak knot
#

yeah

wheat orchid
#

Then that explains it

mossy smelt
#

yes, skin files that were made for 1.4.3.2

charred spire
weak knot
#

i replaced it with normal ones and its still not working

mossy smelt
#

is that not what you were asking for?

wheat orchid
mossy smelt
#

probably from the skin, so the normal files were also for 1.4.3.2

weak knot
#

when i downloaded a skin, there was one folder with modded files and normal ones

charred spire
mossy smelt
#

yes, those were for 1.4.3.2

charred spire
#

Im so confised

charred spire
#

Confused

weak knot
#

can i get normal files somewhere

mossy smelt
charred spire
#

Ok thanks,much apprecated

wheat orchid
#

Files will fail to validate and be redownloaded

weak knot
#

alright im gonna try that

wheat orchid
#

Then reinstall the ModdingApi in scarab

weak knot
#

it wont affect my saves right?

wheat orchid
#

Nope

#

Game files != Save files

silver ocean
#

can i deactivate modloader somehow? i want to start hk in vanilla

weak knot
#

damn tysm it worked

pliant lantern
#

You can also select "disable modding API" in your installer, but that doesn't always work for people if it didn't make the backup files correctly

silver ocean

thank you <3

frail plinth

To any people that have had an issue recently where Scarab crashes when installing Custom Knight (or God Seeker Plus):

  • What operating system are you on (Widows or other; what version of Windows, such as 7/8/10/11)
  • Do you have multiple copies of Hollow Knight installed?
  • Where did you get HK from originally?

|| Tagging @pallid vector and @warm leaf ||

Mod Installer says it "requires latest stable version":
AKA Playing 1.4.3.2 Mods
Important:
If you want to play a mod that's not on 1.5/Scarab yet, then you'll need to do the following:

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. You do not need a code! 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.

MacOS users

Go to your save files folder, and delete the custom Knight global settings files

pliant lantern

It's on sale on steam for a few more days

novel bronze
pliant lantern
#

It's 50% off iirc. If you live in a place where regional pricing applies, then steam has the cheapest version

#

So, for most people it's about $8 USD right now. For some, it's even less.

novel bronze
#

for me 7.5$

#

will i get the expansions like god master and those things

#

its not even 1k din

#

which is like 8.5 bucks

real jacinth

the "expansions" are part of the base game

mossy smelt
#

dlc is free

novel bronze
real jacinth

there is no actual DLC for hollow knight

novel bronze

YAY

#

im buying that shit tommorow!

mossy smelt

yep, they're basically just big free updates

cant rn gtg sleep

the "DLC" pack that steam sells is just the game plus the soundtrack

no game content

Yup. That is just the OST

(which is 🔥, tbf)

native vault

Does a mod that allows you to fight the hunter exist?

novel bronze
pliant lantern

It's very good lol

#

If you buy the OST, you get the lossless versions, which are incredibly good. I listen to them as bg music while doing other stuff a lot.

pliant lantern
mossy smelt

how does buying soundtracks from steam work? do you just get a zip of flac files or what

native vault
#

Also is there a way to mod hk on a switch?

mossy smelt
#

no

novel bronze
novel bronze
#

and wont work also

#

im no expert on the matter im just going by the things i heard before

native vault
#

Yeah jailbraking is very risky also it blocks me from online game so if silksong had online content i wouldnt be able to access it

novel bronze
#

ye its not worth it at all

#

better get a pc and buy hk

#

it doesnt take a monster

wheat orchid
#

If you’re caught it blocks online play

novel bronze
#

to run hk

novel bronze
#

bricks if it detects piracy

#

but instead of bricking it blocks online play

wheat orchid

As long as you’re really safe, (use airplane mode, disable Nintendo online backups, don’t let it brick or anything) I don’t think that would happen

btw does this error appear on win11

yeah it is

Is there a way to have the bindings mod be quicker to toggle on and off without having to reload my save file every time I wanna take a break from AB practice?

Turning it off in the mod menu seems to bug and the soul bar, nail damage and health gets restored albeit not visually, but I still can't have charms and it removes all my charms whenever I go through a loading screen. The only way to fix this has been reload my save and that's tedious.

wheat orchid
# sullen bough hi i want to give myself infinite charm notches and just fuck around how do i do...

?pins I’m not sure if that mod is on the most recent version of hollow knight, but I know it’s on 1.4.3.2. You can either revert to 1.4.3.2 and use a mod installer for 1.4.3.2 or get the scarab mod installer (for 1.5) and check if infinite notches is on there. Infinite notches will also permanently give that save file infinite notches unless you save edit it out (methods of save editing in the same pinned message as the hollow point soul fix), links to mod installers and his to revert to 1.4.3.2 in the first pinned message

Oh yea, for context, I run 1.4.3.2 not 1.5 if that helps

wheat orchid

#

Damn

#

Sad

wheat orchid

1.5 would also be easier since there’s more customizable mod menus there

old jewel
#

1.5 ticks me off with the Watcher Knight "fix" and the fact they left Sly's hitbox broken.

#

Nope

wheat orchid
#

What changed with wk?

old jewel
#

I tried the "Toggleable bindings mod" that's in the Mod Installer but it does absolutely nothing no matter what I push. 1.5 WK can backroll which is stinky. 1.4.3.2 Watchers can't.

how will my save files be affected by down patching

wheat orchid
#

Won’t

sullen bough
#

oh cool

wheat orchid
#

Since nothing was really added

#

The real changes were all backend which made porting mods tougher than other updates

sullen bough

so its completely safe to down patch at any time

wheat orchid

To 1.4.3.2? Yeah

#

aight

wheat orchid
#

1.5 and 1.4.3.2 are the same content wise

sullen bough

i need a beta access code?

wheat orchid

1.2.2.1 or something like that? Every save file opened will loose its progress for dlcs past it

No you don’t

Click the drop down menu

sullen bough
#

oh

#

sorry im a bit stupid

wheat orchid
#

Don’t search for mods outside the installers unless a youtuber has used them in the last 2 years

#
