[d3d8] Soldiers: Heroes of World War II - flickering video playback

[WinterSnowfall]

The game crashes on startup with dxvk 2.4, although it used to work with latest d8vk master. I suspect the crashes are caused by: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32235 , namely the game relying on use-after-free in certain places.

Besides that (when it works) 3D rendering looks good, however game intro videos and campaign intro videos flicker (this doesn't happen with WineD3D). The flickering seems to occur because the game is using multiple swapchains whenever video playback is involved.
