[d3d9] Vindictus - Ice looks darker than native

(moved from Joshua-Ashton/d9vk#303)

The ice appears to be darker than it should be. The screenshots were taken on Windows, because the game doesn't run with Proton/Wine due to anticheat issues. Replaying the apitrace on Linux shows the same problem.

Out of curiosity does it look/run fine with DX11 using DXVK?

[NorbertHarangozo]

The issue is only reproducible with the old trace now. Is this something that is still worth investigating or should I just close the issue?

I'm thinking it's fine to keep the issue since the trace can be used for the d3d9 issue which could be a bug in other games also.
