Describe the bug
As long as the Index controllers are connected Room Setup will crash on start up. If I leave the controllers disconnected the app starts up as normal. Once I get to the screen checking the device connectivity the headset shows up connected and the moment I power up any of my controllers the app will crash.

To Reproduce
Start SteamVR, power on Index controller(s), start Room Setup.

Start SteamVR, start Room Setup, follow instructions up to making sure your devices are connected, power on controller(s).

Expected behavior
Should be able to continue setting up the guardian like on Windows.

A bit of a follow up. The Room Setup app won't crash during a seated play calibration. I copied the universeID that was generated in the chaperone file by the Room Setup in Linux and replaced the universeID in a copy of my Windows chaperone file which I used to replace the Linux generated file with. Now I have a workable play area at least. Not an ideal solution by any stretch of the means though.

SteamVR beta allowed me to run room setup.

I can still reproduce this on both the latest Stable and Beta clients

Gist of the crash in vrclient_steamvr_room_setup.txt. I believe these two crashids were uploaded to Valve also: bp-f42ebad2-f8ae-4e9d-93ce-7f2a92210623 & bp-272a94c4-5151-456e-a18f-4fede2210623

Found the issue. Removing my Nintendo Switch controller fixed the issue entirely.

Still a problem with most recent builds.

I was not able to reproduce this issue.

Crashes for me consistently on Arch with Plasma (both X11 + Wayland). Also, SteamVR graphics aside from the grid and background look corrupted, a mostly illegible bunch of tiny rectangles in various colors in the shape of where the floating menu/graphic would be.

@yaomtc Please ensure AMDVLK is not installed

That fixed it, thanks! Forgot about that issue. And not sure how I ended up with both installed.

Unplugging other joysticks fixed it for me. Thanks Vash63
