Hookshot version

v2.1.0

What kind of problem

Low fps or stutter

What happened

I'm experiencing an FPS issue when switching between different save files.

When I launch the game and load a specific save, I get a stable 60 FPS in a particular location. However, after loading another save and returning to the exact same location, the FPS drops and no longer stays at 60 FPS.

The issue persists even if I reload the original save. The only way to restore the original performance is to completely close the game and launch it again.

Expected behavior:
FPS should remain consistent when switching between save files or reloading saves.

Actual behavior:
FPS drops after switching between saves and only returns to normal after restarting the game.

This might be related to memory management, resource cleanup, or shader handling, although I'm not sure about the exact cause.

Hardware:

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 Laptop GPU
CPU: Intel Core i7-13650HX
RAM: 16 GB
Resolution: 1920×1200

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.
