Hookshot version

v2.0.2

What kind of problem

Low fps or stutter

What happened

Game is running at 5-10 fps. Im expecting more from all the gameplay Ive seen online. I also didnt c a shader prep before the game launched and. Cpu was around 35p and gpu at 45p. If there is anything else I should share lmk.

Where in the game

Start

How often

Every time

Graphics card and driver version

RX 9070 XT

CPU, RAM and operating system

Ryzen 5 5800x, 64 GB DDR4 3600 ,CashyOS

Changes from the defaults

nothing, and toyed around with some things, didnt do much

Other software hooked into the game

No, nothing hooked in

hookshot_log.txt

Screenshots or video

No response

Before you send it

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.

Runs fine here on much weaker hardware: i5-14450HX + RTX 5050 Laptop, 30 GB RAM, Ubuntu 26.04, v2.0.2 - first dungeon ~40 fps with frame gen 2x, almost no stutter. So 5-10 fps on a 9070 XT + 5800X seems more like a hardware issue than the game.

Because youre using a Nvidia gpu. If ive learned anything in the last few days is AMD graphics having a hard time being compatible. Its not that its not possible its just a compatibility issue. That game runs on native nvidia graphics. Of course its going to be easier to run on a nvidia card

No but first time you launch the game it take more time than usual with a blackscreen , i think it does it during this. You got some precompile logs.

Based on log l44: RX_VK_MESH_OPT=1 in hookshot_env.txt then let it run

Tracked in #1000, follow there. That issue collects every report of Linux / Steam Deck GPU hangs, crashes, low fps and build failures, 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.
