Fix for the 12th Generation Intel® Core™ CPUs

Minor update in the renderers initialization sequence to address issue with freezing the game on computers powered by 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors running on Windows 11.
Patch affects only R2 render (Full Dynamic Lighting @ DirectX® 9).
The reason behind this issue is the fact Intel dropped hardware support for DX9 in their integrated graphics cards found in 12th Gen (and upper) CPUs and discrete Arc GPUs.
To support older games, emulation layer called D3D9On12 is used to translate DX9 API calls to DX12 at runtime.
The game has somewhat complicated initialization which locked the emulator.
To address the issue, initialization was simplified a bit to be more emulator friendly.
Update, June 15
Thanks to the valuable patch feedback collected in this thread, we’re releasing a really tiny fix:
R2 render (Dynamic Lighting) should now work properly on the systems with outdated DirectX End-User Runtime
Multiplayer servers with previous version should not reject clients with the new version
On numerous requests, we created public “beta” branch called “pre-win11-patch” which points to the game version without this patch
Information for modders: the only file changed in the patch is “xrRender_R2.dll”

The last leaves drop down to the soil. Winter takes its toll, and the Zone gets covered with new, pure snow. The snow that will change its look but not the essence: strong, dangerous and a bit lonely. She keeps the memories about those times when the first stalkers did their firs

How brutalism has shaped games
It's easy to understand why brutalism has been such a potent source of architectural inspiration for games. The raw forms - solid, legible and with clear lineation - are the perfect material for level designers to craft their worlds with. Simultaneously, these same structures are
