Driver, 572.16, breaks support for AO baking in Substance Painter

So, if you add --force-optix to your launch arguments, the baking works once again. Adobe said this looks like you guys probably broke the DXR API with the latest driver. As a test, I tried baking in Painter 2020 and got the exact same output. Just to reiterate, adding --force-optix to the launch argument in Steam does function.
