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.

Yes. I agree, it's duplicate of #1033

The game compiled the shaders, still we encounter some stuttering in game.

yeah it seems the game uses 120k shaders, but this only handles 112 or some. so it might be it or it might be that it does build the shaders but dosent precache them before running, like the emulator does at the beginning? could that be the bug?

Looks may be fixed with #906

Thanks! v2.0.6 prepared the shader programs, but graphics pipelines were still built the first time each was drawn, which is the stutter you saw. v2.0.8 (out shortly) also builds the pipelines met in play before the game starts (PR #939): in testing, pipelines built during play dropped from ~330 to ~20-90 on a first run. Closing as fixed in v2.0.8; if it still stutters after updating, comment with a new hookshot_log.txt and we'll reopen. General FPS/stutter reports are collected in #995.

Thanks for that, that's was quick, when the .exe is released I will test it and give feedbacks.

@MorpheusCode117: thanks! Is the stutter only in areas you haven't visited before (pipelines still being built in play), or also in places you've already been? Please attach a hookshot_log.txt from v2.0.9 (the video didn't upload).

I meant everything is working and boys are back in town 😎! No stuttering anymore, I am on 100-120 FPS with frame generation, so 50-60 real FPS. I went to few zones without issues.

Here the last log if you are interested: hookshot_log.txt

The new shader compilation window is cool!
