Windows changes
In order to address feedback regarding issues with variable refresh rate displays, performance and HDR, exclusive full-screen mode was reintroduced as an option. It remains disabled by default, but users can enable it by setting dxvk.allowFse = True in the configuration file.
As usual, this option has no effect on non-Windows platforms.
