Overview
Does your game lag even though you PC has good specs? I found a workaround for one major lag issue. This lag occurs mostly during the Nailsage fight and the Trial of the Fool and can drop the frame rate to 20-30 FPS. I don’t know the specifics, but it’s caused by how the game handles V-sync with Nvidia cards when certain particles are onscreen. How to make these fights playable:First, open the game files. Either go to User/Programfiles/Steam/Steamapps/Common/Hollow Knight or open your steam library, select the game, select properties, local files, open game files.Open hollow_knight_Data, and fine Config.ini. Open this file in Notepad or another txt editor. Find “FrameRateCap=” and set the number after it to 60 or 144 (depending on your monitor refresh rate). Save the file. Then open the game and under video options disable Vsync and enable Frame Rate Cap. This should cap your game to 60/144 fps. You may have some screen tearing but it’s not nearly as bad as having low FPS in this game.
