Hello developer,

I'm experiencing a graphics rendering issue while playing Hookshot on my AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT.

Initially, the game was running smoothly, with no visual glitches or rendering problems. However, suddenly, the game briefly froze or stuttered. After recovering from the freeze, the environment started rendering incorrectly.

Large portions of the terrain turned completely black, and some textures and environmental elements appeared corrupted or incorrectly rendered.

After approximately 10 minutes of gameplay, the same issue happened again. The game briefly stuttered once more, and the graphical corruption returned, producing the same visual result shown in the second screenshot.

Interestingly, the sky, mountains, castle, and some vegetation still render normally, while the ground and other parts of the environment appear broken.

It seems like this issue may be related to shader compilation, shader loading, shader caching, or texture streaming, as the problem appears immediately after these brief stutters.

System information:

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
GPU architecture: RDNA 1
Operating system: Windows
Previous behavior: Game running smoothly without graphical issues.
Current behavior: Repeated black terrain and corrupted textures after brief freezes/stutters.

Questions / Suggestions:

Could this be related to shader compilation or shader cache corruption?
Is there a known issue with shader loading or texture streaming on AMD GPUs?
Could this be related to the game's rendering pipeline or GPU driver compatibility?
Is it possible to investigate why this issue repeatedly occurs during gameplay?

The issue occurred twice, approximately 10 minutes apart. I'm attaching two screenshots showing the graphical corruption.

Thank you for your work on the project!

Tracked in #1001, follow there. That issue collects every report of GPUs without mesh shaders, and this one is linked from it with its GPU, version and log details. v2.0.6 brings back the fallback for GPUs without mesh shaders (PR #779). It is untested on these cards, so a v2.0.6 result from you would help. 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.
