Your log shows textures that could not be created because the 4 GB of VRAM was full, which leaves the screen black. In https://github.com/NotRexed/Hookshot/releases/tag/pointer-lighting-2 they go to system memory instead. That's slower, but they're drawn. A lower resolution in the Insert menu will also help on 4 GB. Could you try it and say whether the picture comes back?

https://github.com/NotRexed/Hookshot/releases/tag/small-vram uses much less VRAM on cards with 8 GB or less. Your log showed the renderer going past what the card allows (5.9 GB used on a 3.4-5.1 GB budget), and then the GPU timed out. Please try it. If it still goes black or crashes, set Resolution to 75% or 67% in the Insert menu and send hookshot_log.txt.

Tracked in #993, follow there. That issue collects every report of garbled or rainbow textures that get worse over play time, and this one is linked from it with its GPU, version and log details. It is a known issue in v2.0.6 and not fixed yet. 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.
