OptiScaler v0.9.3

This release is mostly focused on fixing issues that popped up with the 0.9 releases (such as ResizeBuffers1 crashes), alongside some improvements to the Overlay's HDR tonemapping, swapchain backbuffers, fixing RTX Remix crash etc.

Noteworthy new feature is the addition of Manual Input Polling which fixes the invisible Opti Overlay in games such as Metro EE, STALKER Trilogy remasters, DL2, DLTB.
