DXVK 2.4 Update Supports Direct3D8 Games, Adds Multiple Features and Fixes

TapTechNews July 11th news, the DXVK compatibility layer updated to version 2.4 yesterday, and the biggest change in this version is the integration of D8VK. In other words, DXVK now supports Direct3D8 games.

DXVK 2.4 also added support for multiple window system backends in dxvk-native, and applications can choose these backends when running;
