Direct3D to Vulkan layer DXVK v2.6.2 released

The latest release of the Direct3D to Vulkan translation layer has been released, with version 2.6.2 bringing assorted improvements. It's mainly a maintenance release so there's no big new features.

For those just joining: DXVK is what allows Proton to run Windows games that use Direct3D 8, 9, 10 and 11 so well.

Here's the changelog for this release:

Bug fixes and Improvements

• Added DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_UUID environment variable to filter devices by their reported driver UUID. (PR #4956)
  This may be useful on setups with multiple GPUs of the same model.
• Improved vendor ID override logic for D3D9 and added d3d9.hide{Amd,Intel,Nvidia}Gpu configuration options to improve the out-of-the-box experience in games that refuse to run on Intel GPUs, or only run with significantly reduced graphics features. (PR #4869)
• Improved WSI backend selection in dxvk-native.
• D3D9 vendor hack features are now only exposed when reporting a GPU vendor that supports the given feature on Windows.
  This may avoid issues in case games make assumptions based on vendor IDs rather than format queries.
• Fixed an issue that could lead to one eye not updating properly in some VR games.
• Fixed log spam for unsupported D3D8 render states. (#4918)
• Fixed log spam for frequent DXGI adapter queries.
• osu! stable: Fixed black screen in D3D9 mode. (#4769, PR #4984)
• Pirate Hunter: Worked around out-of-memory crash. (PR #4922)
• Red Orchestra: Ostfront: Worked around alt+tab issues. (PR #4919)
• Rocketbirds 2: Worked around a game bug that would cause the intro video to be garbled.
• Thumper: Worked around track rendering issues on Intel. (#4861, PR #4866)
