Fix for low performance and crashes in Metro Awakening

Survivors, it's great to see so many of you diving into Metro Awakening on Steam.

If you’re experiencing any crashes or performance issues, below are a few tips to improve stability and ensure you get the most out of your time in the Metro:

First, make sure SteamVR is set as your default OpenXR runtime rather than Windows Mixed Reality (WMR), Oculus, or Viveport. This can boost performance and prevent crashes;
Some programs, like VR Toolkit, OpenXR Toolkit, or ReShade, can interfere with the game, Try disabling them to improve stability;
Turning off overlays and certain OpenXR API layers may also help with performance;
Additionally, setting your Spectator Screen to 'Off' can also help maintain smooth gameplay.
