ALVR: Using in-app recenter buttons causes flickering and white flashes

Description

Using in-app recenter buttons causes lots of flickering and white flashes. Pressing oculus’s recenter button ends the problem, but sets a wrong position. (Seems to happen everywhere, tested on Yiffalicious and VR Paradise)

So, when you open a game you’re in the wrong place, however if you use the recenter button it starts flickering a lot (on every single slight head movement (even breathing)) together with white lines that flash (lines are round and directed to the screen’s edge).

General Troubleshooting

• [ y] I carefully followed the instructions in the README and successfully completed the setup wizard
• [y ] I read the ALVR Wikis here and here

Environment

Hardware

Note: for Linux, an upload to the hw-probe database is preferred: hw-probe -all -upload

Here, but it’s wrong. It detected KDE, but I use XFCE (even tho KDE and gnome are instaled, I do not use them): https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=4e0b0368b8
