Hollow Knight Crashes upon opening after installing a mod ⚠️

This error can happen for a number of reasons. Read through all of the common reasons below to see which might apply to you.

• Your game patch doesn't match the installer you used

  • Modding is currently done on patch 1.5.78+, and this is what all current installers require. If you're on Steam, then make sure you are not accidentally using a Beta patch (Beta should be set to "None")
  • "Mod Installer" ( Zote) and Mod Installer 2 are made for version 1.4.3.2, and should no longer be used. If you watched or read something that said to use these, then it is outdated information.
  • There aren't installers for other patches, like 1.2.2.1. If you are looking for speedrunning mod help, then type ?tag 1221 into chat for more information.

• Something didn't install correctly

  • Right-Click the installer, and select "Run as Administrator"
  • Ensure that the installer is not still in a .zip file (if you downloaded it as a .zip, then you'll need to Extract the files from it)
  • Make sure that you moved the Installer file(s) out of your Downloads folder

• Your game is cracked / pirated

  • Piracy is not supported in most communities for games, and discussing it is against Discord Community Guidelines. Mods are not considered compatible with pirated copies, and you will not get troubleshooting support in any of the main servers for them.
  • Modding is only supported on the official computer versions from Steam, GoG, or Xbox Games.
  • If you do not have a supported version, then please get it and then you can get support with modding. Asking for assistance with unsupported versions may result in moderation action.
  • Hollow Knight goes on sale regularly, and you can keep an eye on this website for when it is: https://isthereanydeal.com/game/hollowknight/

[karmic turret]

Didnt even help

[subtle tundra]

if that doesn't resolve it please include the info requested that you skipped over

[karmic turret]

Listen

I Load into said scarb

It says I dont have the correct path

My hollow Knight doesnt load

[subtle tundra]

Listen

If you'd read the FAQ you'd know where to get the game path

[karmic turret]

Just tell me then...

[subtle tundra]

and you only gave half of the info you're supposed to, so if the tag with the most common fixes doesn't solve things for you, then you need to give the rest of the info you should have in the first place

[karmic turret]

I load into both Scarbds

• an not

It says cannot verify path

An i even do thy game

[acoustic crest]

You already said that, what about all the other points that you're supposed to have read

[karmic turret]

I cant view half of this

Because

My Hollow Knight

Is Stuck

On

A

Black

Screen

[subtle tundra]

protip: you don't need hollow knight open to tell us your OS, or what platrform you got the game from, or actually any of the info

I think kit's guess is more & more likely

[karmic turret]

My os Is windows, Steam

The Newest Patch most likely

I used both luma fly an scarb

[subtle tundra]

you can check the patch via steam

?tag steambetas

[limpid violet]

Verify that you are using the correct installer and patch!

• For normal modding you should use a current installer (such as Lumafly or Scarab) and you must have Steam Betas set to "None"
  • Pirated copies / Unofficial ports are not supported
• Modding on 1.4.3.2 using "Mod Installer" / "Mod Installer 2" is no longer supported.
• 1.2.2.1 Modding does not have an installer.
  • You can type ?tag 1221 for info on it.

How to check your Steam Beta options:

[karmic turret]

I put it on public beta

[hallow shore]

set it to none

[acoustic crest]

...as that message told you not to

[karmic turret]

there none

It was like that beforehand

and changed nothin

The only thing I need

Is The Correct Path to Hollow Knight

theres a bloody screenshot 2

[karmic turret]

When i do try an use said "Hollow_knight" still does not work

???

[glacial depot]

Im just jumping into this convo, not sure what is happening but you cropped the top part of that image, the part with the file path, could you include it in the next screenshot ? Maybe your steam install got a bit wacky which makes scarab/lumafly not find it

[karmic turret]

Im deleting hollow knight

an jus getting my savefile

[glacial depot]

Uhh

[karmic turret]

an puttin it in a new one

cuz the damn moddin broke my game

[glacial depot]

You can just verify the game files on steam to disable modding

?tag verify

[glacial depot]

No need to uninstall your game

Or move save files around

[karmic turret]

Trust me its prob not gonna work

[glacial depot]

No verifying always works

[karmic turret]

if that worked it would be funny

IT WORKED

[glacial depot]

Computers aren’t magic, they tend to work the same way for everyone

[karmic turret]

dude

[acoustic crest]

If verifying doesn't solve the issue then it's not a modding problem and reinstalling won't work either, that being said I had assumed that you had changed patch earlier which would have also had the same effect, but I guess that wasn't what you did

[karmic turret]

Naw its workin

[glacial depot]

If you want to try modding again (now that you know how to remove it) make sure that you are

1. on the latest patch
2. probably download lumafly instead of scarab, it’s a mod installer with less bugs

[karmic turret]

Oh well

[glacial depot]

?tag lumafly

[limpid violet]

Lumafly (formerly Scarab+)

This is a new version of Scarab, that fixes many of the problems with the commonly used version, as well as adds additional community-requested features (filtering by tags, showing new releases, offline mode, shareable mods/mod lists, and modpacks).

time to mod again!

Thank you @glacial depot \
