Bug fixes and Improvements

• Removed sparse buffer usage that was introduced in DXVK 2.6. This caused all sorts of driver issues that would cause hangs and instability on AMD Vega GPUs and others. (PR [#4763]) Note: This may increase peak memory usage in some games again.
• Worked around an RTSS bug that would cause the overlay to render incorrectly if the Vulkan swapchain uses an sRGB format. (#4777, PR [#4778])
• Worked around an issue where multisample resolves would lead to visual issues on Nvidia in certain Unity Engine games. (#4817, PR [#4818])
• Worked around an Intel ANV issue that would cause terrain to misrender in games such as Assassin's Creed Origins. Note: This driver bug was fixed in Mesa 25.0.3.
• Worked around a RADV issue that would cause hangs on RDNA4 GPUs prior to Mesa 25.0.2. Note: Please keep your drivers up to date when using these newer GPUs.
• Further improved render pass efficiency for tiling GPUs in some cases, especially if VK_KHR_load_store_op_none is supported. Note: This change does not affect desktop GPUs in any meaningful way.
• Fixed a potential issue with display mode handling on uncommon monitor setups. (PR [#4764])
• Fixed various issues with the SDL3 backend in dxvk-native. (PR [#4825], PR [#4826])
• Fixed compatibility of MSVC builds with very old CPUs. (PR [#4811])
• Fixed various minor issues that would cause Vulkan validation errors in rare scenarios.
• Hitman 2: Worked around poor CPU-bound performance in certain areas. (PR [#4796]) Note: This may slightly regress GPU-bound performance.
• LEGO Batman: The Video Game and LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures: Worked around a game issue causing horrible UI performance. (PR [#4798], PR [#4810])
• Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005): Worked around a crash on Windows. (#4624)
