Hookshot version

v2.0.0

What kind of problem

Graphics (missing, black or wrong-coloured things, lighting, flicker)

What happened

When I started the game, everything was running fine. The cutscenes looked okay despite being a bit stuttery, until the part where the Deku Tree talks to Navi, at that point, the colors went completely glitchy and made no sense (as shown in the attached image). Because of that, I restarted the game. Now, when I try to load my save, it gets stuck on the loading screen (though the music still plays). After a little while, the game crashes and freezes my entire OS, forcing me to hard reboot.

How often

Graphics card and driver version

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 #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.
