Hey folks, running into a Vulkan device crash right as the 3D scene loads after the intro video. Tested on two driver versions, same behavior.

System Specs

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER (6 GB)
Driver: 610.88 / 621.14
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT
RAM: 16 GB DDR4
Storage: 256 GB NVMe SSD (Patriot) (~100 GB free space)
OS: Windows 10/11
Render backend: Vulkan (hookshot_vk.dll)

Issue Details

Crash: VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST (-4) at frame ~1879
VRAM usage at crash: ~1.1 GB out of 5.2 GB (doesn't look like an OOM issue)
Flags enabled: movie-sync, less-stutter | Frame Gen: OFF

Key log findings

Massive compute dispatch stalls right after uploading 12288x12288 texture (0x113acf6000):
- slow dispatch 501.2 ms: program 3de6d86ec7e6720e
- slow submit: 530.4 ms: dispatch 530.2
TAAU network fd029a317a9a4b94 fallback triggers a ~340ms submission delay.
Unbound storage buffer warnings during compute dispatches (53caac5f38279735 and 7984161db3e053b5).

Looks like the TDR timeout is kicking in due to the heavy compute dispatch chain/TAAU fallback. Setting RX_VK_TAAU_KEYS=- seems to mitigate it.

Log attached for reference.

Thanks for the detailed report. This is the device-lost crash tracked in #150. Your notes (the unbound storage buffers in 53caac5f38279735 and 7984161db3e053b5, and RX_VK_TAAU_KEYS=- seeming to avoid it) match other NVIDIA reports there, so they help. Closing as a duplicate; if you can, attach the log in #150, and please try https://github.com/NotRexed/Hookshot/releases/tag/foliage-linux-updater.
