Game Fails to Load Due to Missing kFeatureDLSS_G

Bug Report

Title: Game Fails to Load Due to Missing kFeatureDLSS_G

Environment:
- OS: Windows 11 Pro (Build 24H2)
- GPU: Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti
- GPU Driver: GeForce Game Ready Driver (Version 566.14)
- Game: Ashes of Creation (Version: vAOC-CL-283964)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the latest Nvidia Game Ready Driver without GeForce Experience or the Nvidia App installed.
2. Perform a system restart.
3. Launch Ashes of Creation via Intrepid Launcher.
4. Observe the game crash after the anti-cheat loads.

Expected Result:
The game should launch successfully without requiring GeForce Experience or the Nvidia App so long as a recent GeForce Game Ready Driver is installed.

Actual Result:
The game crashes shortly after a black fullscreen window briefly appears.

Log Entry:
Obtained from "%LocalAppData%/AOC/Saved/Logs/AOC.log"
{"timestamp":"2024-11-29T23:11:18.777Z","frame":  0,"category":"LogStreamlineAPI","verbosity":"Error","severity":"Error","message":"[Error]: [17-11-18][streamline][error][tid:38256][2s:318ms:014us]sl.cpp:71[slValidateFeatureContext] 'kFeatureDLSS_G' is missing."}

Solution:
1. Install the Nvidia App.
2. Restart your PC.
3. Launch the game.

Analysis:
The game attempts to load 'kFeatureDLSS_G', which may be specific to 40-series RTX cards, causing a crash on non-40 series cards. It seems the game relies on the Nvidia App/GeForce Experience to verify this feature's availability. This check should not depend on optional Nvidia software, as it is not required for other games.
