VRAM leak, similar to what existed in the early days of emulation; as soon as I open Recomp and enter the game, it’s already using 15 GB. I believe this is what’s causing the stuttering during shader compilation.

Thanks. The texture cache was allowed to fill 70% of what the driver offers, about 11 GB on a 16 GB card. It's freed when needed, so it isn't a true leak, but it shouldn't take that much. https://github.com/NotRexed/Hookshot/releases/tag/brighter caps it at 6 GB. If you still see stutter, please attach hookshot_log.txt (next to hookshot.exe): its 'VRAM:' lines show what is using the memory.

The latest version continues to use a lot of VRAM.

Thanks for the log. Textures now stay under their 6 GB cap (5.6 GB in your log). The rest is render targets, GPU-side copies of game memory (up to 3 GB on big cards) and allocator slack, about 11.7 GB of the 14.1 GB the driver allows. That's high but not a leak. I'll lower the copies' share on big cards too.

There are broken lines, the image is glitching.

Tracked in #993, follow there. That issue collects every report of garbled or rainbow textures that get worse over play time, and this one is linked from it with its GPU, version and log details. It is a known issue in v2.0.6 and not fixed yet. If it still happens on v2.0.6 (https://github.com/NotRexed/Hookshot/releases/tag/v2.0.6; Update next to Play in the launcher), please add a comment there with your hookshot_log.txt.
