Apparently we have tests for this behavior but I think it's acceptable to still allow this. As Paul investigated modern windows don't allow the broken codepath as the framebuffer effects game option that triggers it is simply disabled there, while we somehow report something that makes it available. We were allowing this before and the game option was working fine, we have a choice of either figuring how to make the option be unavailable, which would arguably be regressive as well but would match modern windows behavior, or to allow mismatching pixel formats like this does. I think the latter is better and harmless. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10914#note_140061
