🐞 Bug fixes & improvements
- Fixed an issue where exiting a fullscreen benchmark early using `Esc` did not return the application to windowed mode.
 - Fixed an issue where the Hall of Fame page displayed obfuscated email addresses instead of usernames.
 - Fixed an issue where command-line runs required authentication via the start menu. These now use browser-based authentication.
 - Fixed an issue where certain workloads were not properly included in the ray tracing score calculation when performing a pipeline raytracing benchmark. As a result of this correction, the ray tracing score may now be slightly lower going forward.
 - Fixed various issues affecting highscore server stability.
 - Increased the minimum required NVIDIA driver version to `576.80`.
 - The window title now reflects the presence of the Advanced DLC.
