During VR mode, the game still runs fine but makes everything else slow down to a crawl. Discord, Soundpad, etc. Even SteamVR itself takes a massive hit, pressing the home button opens the Steam UI but only after a moment later. Also audio cuts off every few seconds, and been told my mic sounds absolutely broken down when I speak. This happens in the beta too, which was not the case beforehand, so it feels like something that showed up right before release. Since this is where launch options got introduced, which includes process and thread priority, maybe something broke in that regard? I have to yet test if forcing the game to have normal priority with the new launch options fixes this.
