I'm on Windows, playing on steam, I've tried Lumafly and
(it says scarab but in the FAQ it calls it Modinstaller2) on whatever the default patch is.
I followed the steps in the video for
By downloading the most recent github for windows, creating a scarab folder in hollow knight local files, and unzipping it via extraction, but every time I start up the game it's just default hollow knight, the loading bar doesn't show.
I then tried doing it with Lumafly, but couldn't find exact instructions for it so I just downloaded it, and since there was no option to unzip, I directly dragged it to hollow knight local files.
I also checked the path for both installers and they were correct (also clarifying that I didn't use both at the same time, I tried one, didn't work, tried dragging some of the modded files around and reinstalling, didn't work, so uninstalled them all and then tried the other.)
Don't think there's a point in screenshots for this because it's literally identical to how it's shown to be.
Hopefully I haven't forgotten anything, any help is greatly appreciated.
