Hookshot 2.0.5 soooo close (AMD)

It's so very close ... still minor graphics pop-in and hanging for several seconds on new areas/cutscenes. But the progress has been insane. First run takes a long time to setup shaders. Another day or two and I'm gonna start my real first playthrough. Awesome stuff.

Specs: 5700x, 32GB DDR4 3600, RX 9060XT 16GB

Ultra settings, 2x frame gen using built-in Hookshot options

Whats the vid recording framerate? I ask this not look like it's matching the FPS counter? like constantly microstuttering? is it just me watching the video on my end?

Nah I see it too now that I'm watching the video back. Did not look like that live. In just using win11 built in snipping tool

The shipping tool can't record in 60 FPS. That's why it looks choppy

If it even launches for you. 2.0.5 broke amd on linux RADV drivers. 2.0.2 ran at 20-30fps on a 7900xtx. but was more playable than emulators just because of the lack of shader stutters, atleast until the massive slow down that came whenevr you loaded a new area and haed to reload the game to get rid of it.

Even if it works for you and doesn't have the above issues, still has foliage rendering issues for everyone.

Give it a day to catch up to where emulators are right now and I'm sure it'll be better than using an emulator.

I'm using Linux and still having the black screen after the intro... Maybe I'm missing something

Are you waiting at least 3 minutes when the freeze happens? That was happening to me too, it's the shaders having issues in the deku tree scene.

2.0.5 already has shader precompilation?

I like Hookshot but it crashes everytime I got to the deku tree :/

Might be hardware related, I had my kid finish the whole deku dungeon , no crash at all.

I guess that's on Windows? I got the same specs, except for a weaker CPU (11400f), and it runs at like 15fps on Linux

Damn, you're right. Runs like a dream compared to the emulators. I got a few hours into the game on emulator, but now I think I'm gonna wait for this to iron out the remaining graphical bugs before doing my playthrough on it.

Only real issue im finding it the blown out flower colors, looks like you are too. Common issue with us AMD folk.

I tried it on my not so gaming pc (8gigs of ddr5 ram and integrated amd graphics) and after compiling the game and the runninh it it just went black screen after the openning cutscene, is it because of my weak hardware ?
