Also happens on Windows (Valve Index, 7800XT)

I experienced the same issue on SteamVR beta 2.8.5 today (with a Valve index)

Confirming this happens to me too, not only when the dashboard opens, but also e.g. in Synth Riders when switching songs, or loading a song. Just for a short moment, fixes itself after a second. Yet it's nausea inducing as it shifts eye focus.

Starting 26.10.2024 version 2.7.4 is unavailable to get without a password for SteamVR branch 2.7.4. @kisak-valve I'd like to request a password for that branch so I could use it in order not to vomit every time I use SteamVR. Thanks in advance!

Still occurs on the latest beta 2.12.9 with Valve Index on Fedora 42 and NVIDIA RTX 3080.

Managed to reproduce this and fix this by adding "enableLinuxVulkanAsync" : true in steamvr block of ~/.steam/steam/config/steamvr.vrsettings.

I found Success to edit ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/resources/settings/default.vrsettings
and edit "enableLinuxVulkanAsync" : false to true it seems that editing anything in steamvr.vrsettings seems to default when opening SteamVR
