Hookshot version

v2.0.2

What kind of problem

Crash, freeze or black screen

What happened

No matter what I do, even if I pick the lowest graphic preset, the initial cutscene is extremely laggy for the first 2 minutes or so, then it looks absolutely fine. Then I start the game and, as soon as the cutscenes are over, there is only a black screen. I even saved the game inside Link's house so I can keep testing. Sound works, I can even hear Link walking when I move the stick, but the screen just stays black.

I've tried every build since initial release. Last version I tried is 2.0.2

I know it's definitely a VRAM issue, I know my card is old. I just hope there's anything that can be done, even if it means a massive reduction in graphics quality.

Thank you in advance.

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.

Tracked in #993, follow there. That issue collects every report of garbled or rainbow textures that get worse over play time, and this one is linked from it with its GPU, version and log details. It is a known issue in v2.0.6 and not fixed yet. 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.
