Hello, im new at this beautiful community of speedruning, and i have a question, i downpatch hollow knight to the version 1.2.2.1, but i cant use my controller, in steam i put big picture but nothing, i use a xbox one controller, i expect anyone can help me :)

Try not using Big Picture mode, it never happened to me actually, but I don't use Big Picture mode and my controller works, I use ps4 controller btw. And I use 1.2.2.1 on Steam, it's just that I don't use xbox controller.

Since a steam update I also had the problem with the controller. For me it helped to change the name of the file path. I had to rename the downpatch to hollow knight so that steam started it as the original with the controller configuration. I use a ps4 controller and no big picture mode.

I'm new here too :)

Hello, I have the exact same problem, and I don't know how to solve it. Nothing worked... Edit : Problem solved, I just had to turn off all the steam's controller inputs.

Hollow Knight only supports xinput (Xbox) on 1.2.2.1, meaning that you'll need to use Steam's Controller Support or software like joy2key, DS4Windows, etc to use other controllers. If your having issues with an Xbox controller on 1221, I'd recommend you try disabling Steam's Controller support as they can interfere with each other.
