Describe the bug

Game hangs at white screen then crashes upon launch of the 64bit version of Star Wars Empire at War - Forces of Corruption (2006, 9XC).

Experienced on remix-1.0.0 and dxvk-remix-d4a7c8a-745-release.

I have attached two dxvk logs, one with mods enabled and one without mods + fresh rtx-remix folder. These logs are from using the latest builds linked above, not from using 1.0.0. You may notice the modded dxvk log mentioning canyon_diffuse.a.rtex.dds as too large, the experienced crashes have been present before said texture was added. Would not consider said texture a cause of the crashes.

Launch crashes have been observed since some of the first builds following the remix-0.6.0 release, I cannot track to a specific build however the crashes began. With remix-0.6.0 and any builds before said release, the 64 bit of this title did launch. See issue 512's attached log for an example of the title launching properly.

Please also see the very old issues 73 and 74 which had reported the game hanging at a white screen and crashing soon after, identical to the behavior now.

NOTE: Upon launching the 32 bit version of this game, the title+remix launches without issue. To access the 32-bit version of Steam, select the option from the Betas tab pictured below.

How do you reproduce the bug?

Install Steam version of Star Wars Empire at War - Forces of Corruption (2009, 9XC). (64 bit installs by default)
Install either Remix 1.0.0 or dxvk-remix-d4a7c8a-745-release into Star Wars Empire at War\corruption folder. (Do not install bridge)
Place attached dxvk and rtx confs into Star Wars Empire at War\corruption folder.
Launch the title from Steam (choosing Force of Corruption)
