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.
