When playing the game Hollow Knight using an xbox controller, the game will periodically freeze or crash, either when the menu loads up or at some point during play. The game runs perfectly fun when using only the keyboard with no controller plugged in.

I tested another native steam game, momodara: reverie under the moonlight, and that worked without error when using the Xbox controller.

I reran Hollow Knight using steam running from the console. At some point, the game crashed again (with the controller plugged in), and the console returned this output:

With a specific message from gdb:

I tried this both using the default hid_steam module and removing it with

and the error continues to persist in either circumstance.

Would installing the driver Xpad work, or could that potentially conflict with hid_steam? For now, other games seem to work, and this seems to be a very well-known bug (no pun intended) specific to Hollow Knight. If anyone has encountered the same bug and found a potentially good fix, it would be great to hear about it!

Easy way to fix the stuttering and tearing. This method can work in almost any game, however you’ll need to make sure you can reach your monitor Hz x 2, example: 60hz = 120fps.

Requirements

You’ll need MSI Afterburner and RivaTuner, both are great tools for monitoring while gaming, but you can also use them for overclocking and tweaking, if you don’t have them… you should.

Here’s a quick explanatory video.

Disable V-Sync

First, let’s take a look of how this stutter looks like:

As you can see, the FPS are pretty inconsistent and I’m not even fighting.

So the first option we gotta disable is the V-Sync.

Tearing

Now the V-sync is disabled, we have a new problem.

If we leave the fps uncapped we’ll start experiencing screen tearing.

Scanline Sync

To solve the tearing problem, we have to use RivaTuner Scanline sync option.
