Visual Content-Freeze with Vulkan app/games in fullscreen on any driver after 23.9.1

Hello everyone,

i am experiencing "Visual Content-Freeze" with vulkan apps/games in fullscreen on the current drivers. When i start a game based on the Vulkan api and its in fullscreen, the content of the game visualy freezes at the 1st thing it shows. When you put it in windowed mode and smaller then the screen-size, all works fine.

One solution to my problem was rolling back my gpu-driver to version 23.8.2 or 23.9.1, but any newer version since then causes this issue. GPU is a RX6900XT. Googleing resulted that this issue already existed back 2020 but was patched and is now back. Anyone else effected by that?

I looked around for the source of the issue and it is 100% driver related. i found this website:
https://gpuopen.com/version-table/ and it shows that the drivers 23.8.2 and 23.9.1 were the last drivers with Vulkan support version 2.0.270. Any driver version after that does have the bug that in fullscreen the "visual content" of the game freezes on the 1st frame it shows. Even until the latest driver. So this bug was reintroduced (it was there before -> https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/8008 ) since driver version 23.9.2 and its vulkan support version 2.0.283.

I hope this can be fixed in the next driver version!
