If you only want a downpatched version of Hollow Knight installed, you can delete the files in your current Steam install and copy these files there instead. The important files here are "hollow_knight.exe" and the entire "hollow_knight_Data" folder. If you used the alternate DepotDownloader method outlined later, the old patch files you downloaded can be found in the "depots" folder inside a few other folders. If you used the patching Steam method, the old patch files will be in your Steam install folder under "Steam\SteamApps\content\app_367520" and inside another folder.

#GODMASTER HOLLOW KNIGHT DOWNLOAD UPDATE#
There are two patches that can be accessed very easily through the Beta branches on Steam:ġ.4.3.2 - Godmaster final patch, can be used for Current Patch runsġ.2.2.1 - Grimm Troupe final patch, optimal for most other No Major Glitches runsġ) Right-click Hollow Knight in Steam and select Properties.Ģ) Select the patch you want to use under the Betas tab.ģ) Hollow Knight will now automatically update to your chosen patch. If you're unsure, check what patch the run you're following uses or ask in the Hollow Knight Speedrunning Community discord. Most speedruns are done on 1.2.2.1 for No Major Glitches or 1.0.2.8 for All Glitches and No Main Menu Storage, but it can vary. That being said, you are never required to run on the most optimal patch, and many runs can be done on current patch if that's what you want to use. Many speedruns of Hollow Knight are done on previous patches of the game because important skips and glitches have been added and removed over time.
