Builder version

foliage-linux-updater (source build of ba594da)

How you built

From source (see #384 for the pipeline)

Game files given to it

A .nup (build e0f3ccfa)

The error

The fire effect on a held torch never renders. The stick model draws, the wall-mounted torches in the same room draw their flames fine, but the flame attached to the held torch is absent — no mesh, no glow, no light effect. Reproduced in Kokiri Village / Great Deku Tree B1, both when the flame is the lit state.

Screenshots show: wall torch flame visible, held torch flame missing (the stick is bare while its wall sibling burns).

This is the signature of the indirect-dispatch grid bug family documented in #252: effects attached to dynamic objects go through NVN2 indirect mesh dispatches whose work counts the game writes on the GPU in the same frame. dispatch() filled the grid from guest memory at recording time (stale/zero), so the dynamic-attachment draws cull to nothing, while static world flames (recorded with real counts) survive.

Request: if #252's grid-patch fix (its RX_VK_NO_GRID_PATCH=1 toggle) resolves this reproduction, it is a second concrete symptom the PR fixes — easy for the maintainer to verify: equip a torch in Kokiri Forest and look at it.

Visual Studio or Build Tools version, and Windows SDK version

Tracked in #1002, follow there. That issue collects every report of invisible or missing objects, walls and effects, and this one is linked from it with its GPU, version and log details. If it still happens on v2.0.6 (https://github.com/NotRexed/Hookshot/releases/tag/v2.0.6; Update next to Play in the launcher), please add a comment there with your hookshot_log.txt.
