I read the attached hookshot_log.txt. It reaches ~55.8 fps by the end, peaks at ~12.4 GB working set / ~18.9 GB private, and VRAM sits at ~3.9 GB of the 4.15 GB allowed. There is no crash signature and the log ends with display: window closed, exiting. The long stalls are visible earlier (19.6, 20.6 and 6.2 fps with up to 1808 draws and up to 153 dispatches), so this looks like a hang or pipeline/memory stall on the save path rather than a crash.

To narrow it: (1) does it still freeze on the newest release; (2) which save slot and where in the game; (3) a log copied immediately after the freeze, before closing the window; (4) whether the same save loads. The last Presentation Thread lines before it stops are the useful part.

its almost everything normal, just the white textures still here in a few textures, and some times gets a black screen for 1 sec, but i get 30 fps in low config without frame gen. The save is working too

Tracked in #1001, follow there. That issue collects every report of GPUs without mesh shaders, and this one is linked from it with its GPU, version and log details. v2.0.6 brings back the fallback for GPUs without mesh shaders (PR #779). It is untested on these cards, so a v2.0.6 result from you would help. 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.
