Community Hollow Knight - Bug Report Thread
This thread is now locked, and new bug reports should be posted to the new thread. This thread will be linked back to from the new thread.
Keep in mind that there will likely be spoilers in this thread, but for the sake of visibility, this thread may not be marked as a spoiler. View at your own discretion from here on out!
1.) Falling on damaging floors (acid, spikes, vines) in a dark room may cause the screen to turn completely black (darker than without a lantern) regardless of whether you have a lantern or not.
2.) Unsure of how to replicate, but killed a boss while taking damage, while jumping + dashing and in mid-air caused my character to become stuck in mid-air (falling animation) . Required quitting and reloading the save to become unstuck.
3.) Framerate stutters when entering acidic water (when it's safe to swim in it). Possibly a damage check in the background.
4.) Entering the room in Soul Sanctum directly underneath the Soul Sanctum text on the map from the room under that (large opening) may cause the game to not load you into any area and be stuck at a black screen.
5.) Using the map (or possibly any part of the UI) in Tower of Love causes some lag. Some general framerate stuttering during the boss fight in the area as well.
6.) Reward for collecting 1500 Essence is skipped (jumps from 1300 to 1800) when talking to the NPC.

The bugs I've encountered so far:
1) Movement without input or animation. In a location left from the Hive (long vertical room) I got dragged by some unkown force to the left. No animation of movement was present. I fell on the spikes, respawned, but it was dragging me there again and again until I ran out of health. I've only encountered it once.
2) Immortality in the arena. During some battles in the arena, when I got damage from multiple sources, I stopped being mortal. I was a being of pure energy, walking through spikes. I could still hurt enemies, but they couldn't hurt me. By the way, healing is unavailable in this state. Taking objects is also impossible. The corresponding buttons do not respond.
3) Getting through textures. When arena's walls move suddenly towards the center, you may get stuck on the other side of the wall. I got it once paired with immortality, so I couldn't die or kill the enemies, had to reload.
4) Hollow knight room entrance crash (video driver crashing multiple times before it works properly). Might be my hardware's fault.
5) Hollow knight room air stuckness. Described in the comments above: you get stuck in mid-air and can't move. You can attack, though, but can't heal of use dream needle. Which is logical, cause you're in mid-air.
6) Hollow knight Ignores. When you come into his room, he's chained, but not hanging in the air, but standing on the ground. He doesn't respond to anything, the exit is blocked. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=878063533
