Hookshot version

v.2.1.0

What kind of problem

Graphics (missing, black or wrong-coloured things, lighting, flicker)

What happened

In outdoor locations, there's banding with various shades of blue on the skybox regardless of the time of day. This also affects shading in towns like Hyrule where no natural light from the skybox is produced. (images below)

I've tried various different settings including upscaler types, texture/anistropic filtering, different resolution types. Also turned HDR on and off and it's had no effect.

It also causes screen flickering with distant effects and objects like fog and landmarks in Hyrule Field.

I've also changed NVIDIA drivers as well, adjusted settings like ReBAR to no effect.

Tested on a RTX 4090/AMD 7950x.

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. Reports of the same problem are now collected in #1004, which lists this one with your details and links back here, so one fix closes them together and the open list stays readable. Follow #1004 for the fix, and add new details there (or here). If this turns out to be a separate problem it will be reopened.
