Same start-up crash on an RTX 5060 (621.14, Ryzen 5 8400F, 16 GB, v2.0.11): #1425, closed into this; RX_VK_NO_MESH=1 made no difference there.

@TommyChep @NotRexed @AceOveKings @claudiotermico123-netizen The issue has been resolved. I deleted all files related to Hookshot, even the game nup files that I had extracted myself. After downloading and running the preloaded 2.0.14 version from someone else, I successfully played the game. Now, I am preparing to update to 2.1.0, but I believe there is a bug in Hookshot's automatic update program

Issue is not resolved. I am crashing on startup too, can't even get to game menu. 9950X3D and 5090, latest drivers. Fresh windows 11 install.

Brand new install, I never used Hookshock prior to 2.1.0 so there's no way there is leftover files causing this.

EDIT: Fixed my issue by re-downloading the NUP file. It was corrupt despite being the exact same bytes as the redownloaded version.

Thanks for the report. Reports of the same problem are now collected in #2507, which lists this one with your details and links back here, so one fix closes them together and the open list stays readable. Follow #2507 for the fix, and add new details there (or here). If this turns out to be a separate problem it will be reopened.
