A Plague Tale Requiem, Version 1.5.1 from GOG

As I was mentioning in #1437, when using VKD3D_CONFIG=enable_experimental_features the game no longer detects ray tracing support.

I also noticed that the game now works with VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_2 (it used to require 12_0) so I did some more testing:

defaults: works properly, RT detected and "works" (about as well as you'd expect from this game)
12_2 and no experimental features: also works properly, RT detected and "works"
12_2 and experimental features: RT not detected, game works properly
12_2 and experimental features, RT turned on in the game's config file: game freezes at intro

Without VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr it shouldn't detect any ray tracing, does it work if you set VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr,enable_experimental_features?

Of course, why am I so stupid? I put VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11 in /etc/environment months ago and totally forgot about it until now.
Embarrassing...
