Hey everyone,

I'm trying to run the port on an Intel Arc A580 (with an i5-8500 and 16GB RAM), and it's completely unplayable.

The game opens fine, the menus look good, and I can even hear the intro cutscene audio. But the exact second the game tries to load the actual 3D gameplay graphics, Hookshot just crashes to desktop instantly. No error codes, no crash logs, nothing. I tried importing a save file too, but same story: instant crash on loading the world.

Honestly, it feels like literally every single emulator and native PC port out there just completely ignores Intel Arc support nowadays. This card has more than enough power to run the game, but the software clearly isn't optimized for Intel's drivers at all, only for Nvidia and AMD.

Are there any plans to fix this and add proper support for Intel Arc, or are we just locked out of the port? Would appreciate any update on this.

Thanks!

Honestly, it would be great to have intel arc support, but i'm not really the one to do it.
Need a Intel Arc GPU for testing, wondering if anyone could open a pr.

Duplicate of #17 (Intel Arc). A hookshot_log.txt from the crash posted there would help a lot.
