Hollow Knight

no HDPI support and poor performance

I bought this to play on a 2015 Macbook Pro. The game runs incredibly slow and makes the laptop run verrry hot. The resolution is set to the native 2560 x 1600 which is wayyy too high for the average game running on a mobile gpu. But apparently I cannot set it any lower! There's only two options which is full resolution and half resolution. Except changing it doesn't actually do anything! I click apply and it just gives me the full resolution again. I can halve the resolution when playing in windowed mode but then it's like playing on a post stamp and the fps still sits below 60, which is unacceptable for a game of this graphical simplicity. Admitted this is not a gaming system but it runs much more taxing games way better. I tried looking online for a solution but apparently I'm out of luck as the only way to set the resolution is from the menu. It's a shame because I like the look and sound of this game, but the fact that I cannot play it on this machine is just ludicrous.
