Hookshot version

2.0.11

What kind of problem

Crash, freeze or black screen

What happened

After the first intro animation finishes, the game transitions to a black loading screen. At first, this seems to be the normal loading process, but the game never progresses beyond this point.

The screen stays completely black indefinitely, and after waiting for some time, the game eventually crashes.

I expected the game to finish loading and continue to the next screen, but it gets stuck and eventually closes.

Where in the game

Initial startup – black loading screen immediately after the first intro animation, before reaching the title screen.

How often

Every time

Graphics card and driver version

Integrated AMD Radeon Graphics (AMD Ryzen Z2 A APU). AMD Graphics Driver – 25.10.45.16-261009a-205302C-Asus

CPU, RAM and operating system

AMD Ryzen Z2 A, 16 GB RAM, Windows 11 (ASUS ROG Xbox Ally – White Model)

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 report. This is the same problem as #997 (AMD integrated GPUs and handhelds), so it's tracked there from now on: please add any new logs or details to #997. Closing as a duplicate.
