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.

Thanks for the log. Overexposure is collected in the lighting tracker #1004; linking this there. #1042 reports washed-out colours on AMD with Mesa under Wayland, which went away with SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11. Could you try launching with that set and say whether the fog changes?

The log has the line from #914, 16 times:

vk: view of texture 0x1133ccb000 (vk 139) as vk 95 type 1 levels 0+1 layers 0+1 not made

i.e. a BC4 array viewed as R16G16B16A16_UINT is refused by RADV. RX_VK_OOT_FOG=0.02 makes the haze lighter but doesn't remove it. Other switches in hookshot_env.txt: RX_VK_PARALLEL=4, HOS_FPS_TARGET=60. Log and two screenshots attached.

Same here on an RX 7900 XTX (RADV NAVI31, Mesa 26.2.6), Bazzite, Hookshot v2.0.7 (source 6b1dd5d6), under gamescope. The game already runs through X11 there (DISPLAY set, no WAYLAND_DISPLAY), so SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 changes nothing for me: the white haze / washed-out fog is there in Kokiri Forest, strongest towards the back of the scene. The log has the line from #914, 16 times: vk: view of texture 0x1133ccb000 (vk 139) as vk 95 type 1 levels 0+1 layers 0+1 not made i.e. a BC4 array viewed as R16G16B16A16_UINT is refused by RADV.

Thanks for the report. To keep each problem in one place, this is tracked in #1004 (lighting: overexposure, glow, white haze, black shadows), which links your details. Closing this as a duplicate; please follow #1004 for updates.
