Hitman 2. The game doesn't work. Black screen and "compiling shaders". (DXVK_HUD = full). Maybe there are problems with the video output?

This game is now able to launch and get ingame. Tho i haven't played too much around.

I have found one issue in my short testing.
If, when you get to the main menu, you press start game then it will work fine. But if you instead go into the graphics options first and then afterwards press start game it will either freeze or crash.
It seems like when you've been at the graphics options page the game "reloads" the window to apply the settings or something when you then start the actual game. This is even if i don't actually change any of the settings.

Here is a video showing the behavior with wined3d where it doesn't crash.

I also tried to capture a trace with wined3d if that would show something about the behavior, but the game crashes on launch then so i instead made one with d8vk where it freezes. Hope that helps, else I'll try to get a trace from windows.

Edit: Still same issue as of 2e9e557

I have retested with newest master a50de46
The game now instead hangs when you try go into graphics settings and then start the game. Also when you try to quit.

I'm not getting the hangs that @Blisto91 mentioned above, but d8vk performance is really terrible with ANV... whereas WineD3D runs absolutely fine.

Edit: Nevermind, I was able to reproduce the graphics options crash on Nvidia. It behaves exactly as Blisto described it.

I've just tested this on a Steam Deck (Vangogh APU, RADV Vulkan driver) and it seems to run perfectly fine, besides full screen (The game crashes as soon as I boot it up claiming not enough memory). It runs amazingly good without any artefact AFAICS.

EDIT: Yeah, full screen seems non functional across the board. The rest is working great! Great work :)
