hi, i managed to downpatch hollow knight to 1.2.2.1 from steam and i cannot get the modding api to work, it says i overlayed the files, but the writing does not show on top left of my screen, even tho the files are in the right place, what can i do ?

there is a separate modding api for every patch, the one for 1.5 (scarab) will only work on 1.5 you can ask for it in the speedrunning discord, as well as mods for 1221
