3 HK just has a black screen.

The reason why I have all 3 issues here is because I do not know if they are connected or not. I will close the other 2 issues that I put up so that all my problems will be collected here.

Whenever you get the chance, could you try v1.34, it should fix the path issues at least.

It does not work, I still have all the same problems. I do have a theory on what's going on. That is, when installing Scarab, something in the code destroys the code for the game. I think this because, I opened the broken HK after installing Scarab, uninstalled Scarab while it is still open. (The error of not finding the correct path only shows up when I try to change path and then it says it cannot find the installation, so when I first open Scarab it appears fine) I re install Scarab with HK still open and instead of being able to do stuff, it brings me straight to the cannot find path error. So I believe that something in the Scarab code destroys the path for HK and so it can't find HK and HK also opens to a never ending black screen. Maybe I have a different problem to the other guy so hopefully 1.34 works for him but otherwise, it does not work for me. But Idk, I might be completely wrong.

Do you have the Xbox Gamepass version? The typical hollow knight version isn't 1.5.80, it's 1.5.78 - which is probably what would lead to a black screen

Yes, I do have the Xbox Gamepass version and I just checked now and it is 1.5.80

I forgot to add this but Scarab used to work for me and now it doesn't.

Ah, could you try resetting the path again? It can't find the modded Assembly-CSharp atm so it's dying, if you verify your game/whatever the Gamepass equivalent is and then change paths so it's at a "fresh slate" it should in theory work from there.

@BlueRedShark I was running into this issue as well. Deleting my %APPDATA%/HKModInstaller folder fixed it for me.

Yeah that apears to have worked, thanks
