What happened

Issues with Frame Generation, Alt+Tab and a Windows BSOD (AMD RX 6700 XT)

I'm experiencing several issues with Hookshot:

1. Frame Generation / Visual artifact

When Frame Generation is enabled at x2, a square-shaped visual artifact appears on the screen, resembling screen tearing. It is quite noticeable during gameplay.

2. Game freezes after Alt+Tab

When I press Alt+Tab to minimize the game and then return to it, Hookshot freezes. After a few seconds, the audio also stops playing, and the only way to close the game is by pressing Alt+F4.

3. Windows Blue Screen after closing the game

A couple of minutes after closing Hookshot, Windows encountered a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) and automatically restarted the PC.

I suspect this might be related to Hookshot, as I have never experienced this kind of unexpected system crash before. However, I cannot confirm that the port was the cause.

The Windows error information was:

Stop code: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (0x0000003B)
Exception code: 0xC0000005 (Access Violation)
Suspected driver reported by Windows: FLTMGR.SYS

The crash dump was generated, and I can provide it if needed.

My hardware and software:

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT (12 GB)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
RAM: 16 GB
OS: Windows 11

Thanks for your work on the project!

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 detailed report (RX 6700 XT, v2.0.14). The parts are tracked separately: frame generation 2x artifacts in #1635 (RX_VK_FSR_FG=0 or frame generation off avoids them), and the freezes after Alt+Tab and the system crash with AMD on Windows in #996. Closing this in favour of those two.
