Essential improvements

Special K - FFXV Mini-Mod

Allows users to block certain input devices to prevent the game from hitching every time it loads the icon for another input device.
Lowers the Steam API overhead of the game; provides more stable frame render times and shorter loading times on certain hardware configurations.
Includes options that fix thread scheduling options in some threads, that causes starvation on graphics/audio threads.

Game data

The Steam and Origin versions do not respect a relocated Documents folder unless symlinks are used.
