Hookshot version

v2.1.0

What kind of problem

Crash, freeze or black screen

What happened

The game freezes at the start menu. The log confirms the compute fallback is active:

[hos host] vk: no mesh shaders: task and mesh programs run as compute shaders (issue 640 fallback)

No crash, no black screen — just a hard freeze. Tried:

Latest NVIDIA drivers
Minimum (4 GB) quality preset
No overlays (Afterburner, Discord, etc.)
Verified game files
Full log attached.

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 #1001, which lists this one with your details and links back here, so one fix closes them together and the open list stays readable. Follow #1001 for the fix, and add new details there (or here). If this turns out to be a separate problem it will be reopened.
