Seems they fixed GL_ARB_separate_shader_objects + dual source blending required now by PCSX2 git builds !
But also in latest hotifixes DX12 driver is crashing on non-SSE4.2 CPUs. I wanted to know official AMD statement about this so written about this here: https://community.amd.com/message/2722650 I think they should not enforce in driver something that OS is not enforcing and Windows 10 enforces SSE2 and some additional CPU instructions, not SSE4.2+.
