Users complain that setting up the SilklessCoop mod can be as challenging as the game itself, even with instructions.
Enthusiasts in the modding community are wasting no time: just a few days after the release of Hollow Knight: Silksong on Steam, fans have already created the first mods adding cooperative multiplayer.
SilklessCoop by Nek5 andSilksong Steam multiplayer mod by 233xvx233 are now available for download on Nexus Mods.
SilklessCoop is built on the BepInEx framework and uses a server utility from GitHub to help set up cooperative sessions. The second mod requires modification of game files and offers a simple interface for creating and joining sessions.
Users complain that setting up SilklessCoop can be as challenging as the game itself, even with instructions. Problems include connection breaks that leave frozen copies of Hornet on the screen, strange behavior of attack animations, and lack of support for public servers due to high hosting costs. SilklessCoop author Nek5 noted:"It's scary and expensive."
