Hookshot version

v2.0.6

What kind of problem

Graphics (missing, black or wrong-coloured things, lighting, flicker)

What happened

When the game is run with Wayland, the colors are too bright and a green bar appears at the start of video cutscenes. However, if I add SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11, there is no issue.

Plz note: i also add RX_VK_NO_MESH=1 to prevent the game from crashing.

Where in the game

cutscene, in-game and menu

How often

Every time

Graphics card and driver version

RX 6600

CPU, RAM and operating system

Ryzen 5 5500 32GB Cachy OS

Changes from the defaults

No response

Other software hooked into the game

No, nothing hooked in

Screenshots or video

Before you send it

I'm on the newest release, or the problem is still there on it.
I searched the open issues for this problem.
I'm not attaching game files, keys, hookshot.exe, the .bin caches or saves.

Data point from NVIDIA: I could not reproduce this on v2.0.7 with an RTX 3060 12 GB (NVIDIA 615.78, Bazzite 45 / KDE Plasma Wayland, Vulkan 1.4, mesh shaders yes, no RX_VK_NO_MESH).

The game's boot title screen plays an AV1 movie loop (log: video: AV1 decoder ready (1920x1080)), so no input is needed to see a video frame. I took screenshots of the intro/title movie once per 5 s with the default SDL video driver (fullscreen, no window frame) and once with SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 (XWayland, framed window). In both runs the colours looked the same and normal, with no green bar or line at the top or anywhere else, and the video faded in and played at 60 fps.

So this may be specific to the AMD/Mesa path (the reporter has an RX 6600) rather than to Wayland itself. If someone else on AMD can say whether it also shows on the title-screen movie, that would help narrow it down. I have screenshots of both runs if they are useful, I did not attach them.

AI-assisted: run and collected by Claude Code on my behalf.

I have the exact same thing with a 9070xt on Archlinux. Forcing X11 fixes the issue.

Thanks! Linking this to the Linux and Steam Deck tracker #1000. Per the NVIDIA data point above it may be specific to AMD/Mesa on Wayland.
