Checklist (we expect you to perform these steps before opening the issue)

I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.
I am using an official build obtained from releases or updated one of those builds using its in-app updater.
I have re-dumped the game and performed a clean install without mods and the issue is still present.
I have disabled all patches and cheats and the issue is still present.
I have all the required system modules installed.

Describe the Bug

When launching Gravity Rush 2 on Windows using v0.13.0 of shadPS4 the game does not boot, it crashes after a few seconds of a black screen. However, when launching the game using the same version of shadPS4 on Linux it boots without issue.

Note that the game boots correctly on Windows using shadPS4 v0.11.0, therefore this behavior is a regression of some sort.

Reproduction Steps

Launch the game on Windows using shadPS4 v0.13.0

Specify OS Version

Windows 11

CPU

i5-11400f

GPU

Nvidia RTX 5060

Amount of RAM in GB

This is a known issue, the game was regressed starting from v.0.12.0 and has been that way all the way up to the latest stable release (v0.14.0).

This has been worked around for now, the issue shouldn't be present anymore.
