blurry texts.
has no texts in the cutscenes too. and shaders takes way too long to load, when i start a new game it takes at least 20-30 minutes to load, i even tried rebooting, surely theres a way to help with that?

hookshot_log.txt

also, despite all the complaining, thank you for your work, its getting improved bit by bit and i appreciate that, thank you. hopefully my logs will fix alot of issues for amd people like us, most of us cant even get the game to boot in most forks. so this is a improvement.

https://github.com/NotRexed/Hookshot/releases/tag/amd-shared-memory might fix this: every compute shader asked for 48 KB of shared memory, more than AMD cards allow, which made them invalid on AMD (found by klimovich008). Please try it. If it's still black or gray, create hookshot_env.txt next to hookshot.exe with one of these lines at a time and tell me which one (if any) helps: HOS_NO_RENDERER_WAIT=1, RX_VK_NO_FOLLOW=1, RX_VK_OOT_VISUAL=0. A hookshot_log.txt from the new build helps too.

https://github.com/NotRexed/Hookshot/releases/tag/less-stutter includes the AMD fixes from PR #138 (tested on an RX 9070 XT): with Resolution "Auto", the 3D picture was black on AMD because a dynamic-resolution pass was left out. Depth-compare sampling and NaN haze are fixed too. Please try it and tell me whether the picture is back (a hookshot_log.txt helps either way).

Please try https://github.com/NotRexed/Hookshot/releases/tag/foliage-linux-updater: it fixes blank text on AMD (PR 228). The long first load is the driver compiling shaders; the second start is faster. Attach hookshot_log.txt (in the game folder, next to hookshot.exe) if it still hangs after the first cutscene.

Tracked in #996, follow there. That issue collects every report of AMD driver crashes, device lost and freezes on Windows, and this one is linked from it with its GPU, version and log details. 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.
