I think RenderDoc attaches a fence or something, so the dispatch never returns. And ontop of this it looks like timeline semaphores can be signaled back to a lower value, when shared across processes

After 9 weeks of experimenting with Vulkan, I have finally finished the bindless pipeline. Some small issues are still left to be ironed out, but the pipeline is usable and fast.
The new pipeline intelligently reuses memory, requiring 40% to 70% less VRAM to run. The bindless design of the new pipeline furthermore reduces CPU overhead, leading to a ~5-20% performance uplift on desktop GPUs, or a ~5% performance uplift on the Steam Deck.
A detailed explanation of what was done can be found in #483.
This version of lsfg-vk once again requires new shaders, packaged in a new DLL file called lsfg-vk.dll. It has not yet been uploaded to Steam and may take a bit longer until it is. Switch to the linux-testing branch to get the update as early as possible.
Closes #483
