Could you elaborate on what you mean by "with older SteamVR versions"?

That definitely sounds like an issue you should post over on the SteamVR forums. In particular, what your host machine is (Windows 10, Windows 11, Bazzite, CachyOS, Ubuntu, etc.) and such.

No problem. I periodically swing through just to see if there's stuff I can point folks at solutions for. :)
