Bug Hunt Thread

[Geck]

Hi Team Cherry,

The forum should probably have a bug hunt thread where we find glitches, missing textures, etc. I've found a few and have been keeping track of them for hotfixes in the future.

A few bugs I have found:

-The city crest is on a layer in front of Hollow Knight when you use it. This makes it so Hollow Knight can pass behind it.
-Getting hit while in the process of reading a sign can cause the sign to stay up on the screen until you read another sign.
-Brooding Malwek can occasionally get stuck in a loop where he doesn't move at all.
-Soul Master's shockwaves occasionally do not spawn when he attacks.
-I had an issue eariler with the rocks hanging from vines. One of the rocks was stuck in a falling animation and took an extra 5 seconds to land.

I'll add to the list as I find more issues. Awesome game, I can tell you guys put a ton of work into making this game really shine!

Getting hit when reading the map cause my Hollow Knight to get stuck in the air, forcing me to reload the my game :x
Also, there are a lot of frame rate drops. This just caused me to die in the coloseum for no reason at all!

just opening any menu when getting hit will do it

think the thorn badge is causing it

The 'time played' shown on the load screen is way too high. I had played 2 hours wall clock time, the game said 2h 60m (yes it actually said that :p)

If you hold Focus to restore health it will deduct the SOUL before granting a hit point. If you release the button in between you will lose SOUL but not gain the hit point. Had this happen once or twice when I needed to get away from a mob while trying to restore health.

I think the focus thing is a feature, not a bug. It's a "risk" to heal and I think that's what they are going for.

In the room after defeating the mantis lords if you fall in the spikes the screen doesnt seem to load and kills you after ~3 seconds and afterwards the screen loads top to bottom

I've encoutned a few so ill share what i have.

1. when fighting the Elder Pill Beetles(they throw the tiny pillbugs at you) that trap you in , i up slashed one of the baby pillbugs it threw out just as it was falling from the peak of its arc and it shot into the ground and disappeared. and the Elder refused to throw out another one.

2. When riding the smaller lifts in the soul area sometimes the camera would get stuck where the elevator stopped (always when going down at the bottom) forcing me to stumble my way to where a door was to get my camera reset.

3. i was at around 1300 for the Dream Nail when i talked to the Seer and mass upgraded from i think 800 was where i was last. But she upgraded till the 1300 mark and asked me to return at 1500, but when i talked to her again she asked for 1800 and when i returned at 1500 she still asked for 1800. so not sure if thats a bug or a typo.

4. Everytime i got a new soul vessel completed it wouldnt actually show the extra soul vessel on the left side of the bar till i reloaded my game.

when fighting Kosk you can just hug the door on the far right and he can't touch you. Except for jumping on top of you which it rarely does o: Don't think they intended that one

When gaining a new mask/soul orb, sometimes, the screen will stay bright around HK et you need to change room to go back to normal.
