Added stub InternalGetWindowIcon to user32. Updated patches , ΠΈ .
In addition, it can be noted layers with DXGI, Direct3D 10 and Direct3D 11 implementations on top of the Vulkan API.

Work has been done to reduce the load on the CPU in games with a large number of different shaders. Problems with unordered multi-threaded graphics shader writing using UAV (unordered access view) have been resolved.
