Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Play Budget Cuts
  2. Reach the Showroom level (or start a new game from there)

Expected behavior
Game performs as it has up to this point.

Research direction

Start by reproducing Budget Cuts' Showroom level on Ubuntu with the listed SteamVR, Steam client, and graphics driver versions, then compare its frame timing with earlier levels and arcade mode. Use the requested SteamVR System Information and Perf Data to identify what changes when the issue appears; done means the Showroom level no longer exceeds the reported unplayable frame timing.
