Special K v 25.3.9

• Auto-load REFramework.dll in Monster Hunter Wilds so that it does not have
  to be loaded as dinput8.dll and will work more stable.

• Prevent REFramework from breaking various DirectInput code that causes input
  problems in Monster Hunter Wilds, provided you load it as REFramework.dll
  instead of dinput8.dll.

• Disable Reflex Sleep permanently in Monster Hunter Wilds, after profiling
  their Reflex implementation is so bad that it's only increasing latency.

  • Make sure you are using nightly build from 25/3/4 or newer of REFramework;
    the only purpose for Reflex Sleep was to improve framegen pacing when
    the game's anti-tamper runs every frame and REFramework removes the
    frame pacing obstacle at its source.

• Improved driver-forced Over The Air DLSS/DLSS-G update detection.

• Added warning to control panel when driver-forced overrides are active.

• Stop disabling DLSS DLL override when user supplies an invalid local DLL.

• Ignore NVNGX when it loads an older version of DLSS than is already loaded.
