Hookshot version

v2.0.5

What kind of problem

Crash, freeze or black screen

What happened

I'm experiencing a reproducible GPU crash with Hookshot v2.0.5 on my ASUS ROG Ally Z1 Extreme.

What happens:

  1. I launch the game and start a new game.
  2. The entire opening cutscene plays normally.
  3. Immediately after the cutscene ends, when the game should transition into gameplay, the entire ROG Ally crashes and automatically reboots.
  4. This has happened multiple times.

Expected behavior:

The game should transition into gameplay without crashing.

My hardware:

  • Device: ASUS ROG Ally (original model)
  • CPU/GPU: AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme / Radeon RDNA 3
  • RAM: 16 GB
  • OS: Windows 11
  • AMD graphics driver: 32.0.31007.6002
  • Hookshot: v2.0.5 (source cd9cebb6)
  • Graphics API: Vulkan

Settings tested:

  • Resolution: 50%
  • Frame Generation: Off
  • Upscaling: Off
  • Frame Pacing: Off
  • VRAM allocation: Both 6 GB and Auto

The issue persists with all these settings.

Error information:

Windows Reliability Monitor reported a LiveKernelEvent 141.

One of the Hookshot logs contains:

vk: submit 83674 failed (-4)
vk: device lost: reading the fault info

This corresponds to VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST.

I have attached the Hookshot logs from multiple attempts.

Is this a known compatibility issue with AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme integrated graphics? Is there a workaround or a planned fix?

Thank you for your work!

This was happening to me too and i didnt know what the problem was, Windows security thought it was a virus or something so I said to allow the program, also i turned my memory assigned to gpu to 8G instead of auto and it works now without rebooting. the only problem now is listed here #830

Tracked in #997, follow there. That issue collects every report of AMD handhelds and APUs: black screen, device lost or reboot, 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.
