Original game plays perfectly in standalone VR, but Area X has issues.
Original game: Played through two areas with all three control schemes; all worked perfectly, controlled and looked exactly as expected, maintained solid 72fps throughout. If this were the only mode, this report would be a "Perfect". Area X: Selecting Area X from the menu boots a separate application running on a different engine, which SteamVR handles inconsistently. The game sometimes reappeared correctly in VR, but sometimes it reappeared in flatscreen, didn't reappear at all, or didn't track controllers. In any of these cases I needed to restart the application and try again. Once running correctly the mode controlled and displayed correctly, but framerate would frequently drop to 36 or even 24fps (though reprojection meant it was still playable).
"Area X" mode often fails to start correctly and performs poorly.
