Rpcs3: Windows AMD 19.12 driver breaks OpenGL

[AniLeo]

_Meta issue for driver bug discussion_

---

Latest Windows AMD drivers no longer work render applications/games* on OpenGL not even on the triangle test.
* The performance overlays are still rendered, but not any application or game content

Vulkan is not known to be affected.

Tested drivers:

• 19.11.1 - Work
• 19.11.3 - Work
• 19.12.1 - Don't work
• 19.12.2 - Don't work
• 19.12.3 - Don't work
• 20.1.1 - Don't work
• 20.1.2 - Don't work
• 20.1.3 - Don't work
• 20.1.4 - Work

Tested OS:

• Windows 7 x64
• Windows 10 x64

Can confirm. 19.11.3 has some graphic issues. See attached

Test with 19.11.1 and the same RPCS3 version OR with an older version of RPCS3 where you're sure it worked and the same driver version, to see if it's a driver issue or a regression from a previous PR

Tested on 19.11.1 and same opengl issue occurs. So could be a problem with my nightly version 0.0.7-9255-9f106be3

Preliminary investigation shows vertex stage is completely borked. My initial guess is that vertex ID is not incrementing correctly.

It looks like AMD Adrenalin solves this problem, no more graphics problems in the 2020 edition. It includes OpenGL and Vulkan drivers, so maybe installing that helps users with the new AMD drivers.

It was reported not to be working on 19.12.3 as well. Do you mean the following update?

New Adrenalin was introduced in 19.12.2 and that version is broken as well.
