This is a maintenance release intended to fix some bugs and regressions from version 2.6.1. It is **not** based on latest development code and does not use or require any new Vulkan features.

##### Bug fixes and Improvements
- Added `DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_UUID` environment variable to filter devices by their reported driver UUID. (PR #4956)
  This may be useful on setups with multiple GPUs of the same model.
- Improved vendor ID override logic for D3D9 and added `d3d9.hide{Amd,Intel,Nvidia}Gpu` configuration options to improve the out-of-the-box experience in games that refuse to run on Intel GPUs, or only run with significantly reduced graphics features. (PR #4869)
- Improved WSI backend selection in dxvk-native.
- D3D9 vendor hack features are now only exposed when reporting a GPU vendor that supports the given feature on Windows.
  This may avoid issues in case games make assumptions based on vendor IDs rather than format queries.
- FIxed an issue that could lead to one eye not updating properly in some VR games.
- Fixed log spam for unsupported D3D8 render states. (#4918)
- Fixed log spam for frequent DXGI adapter queries.
- **osu! stable**: Fixed black screen in D3D9 mode. (#4769, PR #4984)
- **Pirate Hunter**: Worked around out-of-memory crash. (PR #4922)
- **Red Orchestra: Ostfront**: Worked around alt+tab issues. (PR #4919)
- **Rocketbirds 2**: Worked around a game bug that would cause the intro video to be garbled.
- **Thumper**: Worked around track rendering issues on Intel. (#4861, PR #4866)
