While Patch 2 doesn't make any more balance adjustments, it does add a new visual setting, as well as fixing a few "critical issues" and cleaning up some smaller bugs. The new graphics option is a 'dithering' effect that "reduces colour banding but can slightly soften the appearance of foreground assets". It'll be added as a new toggle in the menus.
Here's all the detail on that, along the rest of the Hollow Knight: Silksong Update 2 patch notes:
Patch 2 is now live on PC for public beta users, and will be coming to console soon.
