Color oversaturated on my setup. Fedora 45/GNOME 51/GPU 7900GRE. I saw that it should be fixed by 2.0.6 but still have the same problem on the newest.

Thanks for the logs. Linking this to #1042 (too-bright, oversaturated colours on AMD under Wayland; it went away there with SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11) and the Linux tracker #1000. Could you try launching with SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 and say whether the colours change?

is this placed in the hookshot_options.ini?

@brmnjsh: it's an environment variable, not an ini option. From a terminal: SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 followed by the game's command; in Steam, set the launch options to SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%.

Ok @NotRexed , that seemed to fix the saturation and color issues, thanks! Is this something we'll always have to set (either in cmd or steam), or is there a way for it to be auto-detected, or selected as an option in the hookshot loader?

It looks like the fps is still really poor, ~15 fps

I see this issue (#1217), and it seems to be similar.

@brmnjsh: glad that fixed the colours! For now it's a launch option; picking it automatically is a fair request, so I've noted it for the maintainers. The low FPS is collected in #995.

Can confirm this works on RDNA3 when using Wayland. Stilll, the shader stuttering and flashing still remains.

Fixed in the v2.0.12 branch, closing when it ships. On Linux/Wayland the swapchain now takes an sRGB surface format (#1086), which is what made colours oversaturated without SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11.

Fixed in v2.0.12 (https://github.com/NotRexed/Hookshot/releases/tag/v2.0.12): Linux/Wayland takes an sRGB surface format for the swapchain, as X11 did (#1086). Update with the Hookshot Builder (or the game's update offer) and rebuild. If it still happens on v2.0.12, reopen this with your hookshot_log.txt.
