Now with the latest update steamvr beta 2.15.3 with mesa 25.3.4 and latest steam beta client it causes some more video glitches with the menu now so cant even get into the game to test if it also causes more video problems, Cachyos Linux, Kernel 6.18.7

EDIT: NVM this is a problem with a new feature in my mobo called special display with a option called hybrid graphics, disabling this fixes these video corruption problems. maybe in the future i will be able to enable it without steamvr having these problems with it.

I also get a similar problem with Assetto Corsa Competizione. cant access the menu and lots of graphical video problems being displayed.

I am unable to test this anymore as i no longer have my quest 3 (getting the steam frame) so i will be closing this in a couple of months if no one else reports with a similar problem or improvements that have been made.

Nothing extracted yet.
