PCSX2 v2.5.390 Addresses AMD Vulkan Swapchain Recreation Bug

PCSX2, the PlayStation 2 emulator, released version v2.5.390 today. This update includes a specific fix for the Vulkan graphics backend, targeting an issue experienced with AMD GPUs. The change prevents the emulator from referencing an old swapchain when a new one is in the process of being recreated. This modification is intended to correct potential rendering problems or instabilities that could arise on AMD hardware when the Vulkan graphics pipeline manages swapchain operations. The release notes describe the fix as "GS/VK: Don't reference old swapchain when recreating on AMD", addressing a specific technical interaction between the emulator's graphics handling and AMD's Vulkan driver implementation.
