SteamVR:

• Added back the 1.5x clamping for auto resolution (on top of the new gpu memory based calculation) to avoid runaway values (e.g. recommending 350% for Rift CV1 on an RTX 2080 card). Also unhardcoded the % gpu memory used for this calculation so drivers can override them (e.g for Pimax 8KX) – this will require hmd manufacturers to adjust once the SDK is updated; in the meantime users can always manually adjust these values in Settings.
  
• Fixed sporadic cases of interstitial screens not working correctly in Half-Life: Alyx.
  
• Fixed vrmonitor:// URLs not working for certain debug commands (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr/issues/1453)
  
• Fixed depth submission from apps that use side-by-side rendering.
  

Oculus:

• Fixed jittery head pose tracking issue.
