Game keeps crashing on startup in VR

Same issue here. Game works fine in 2D but crashes immediately when launching in VR. The F1 24 window appears and occasionally shows the first frame of the EA intro video and SteamVR shows as in-game, then SteamVR crashes with the option to restart or quit. All other SteamVR games work perfectly.

So far I have tried updating video drivers, audio drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, Steam and SteamVR, uninstall/reinstall EA Anticheat (as admin and regular), running Steam/the game/EA AC as admin, using the exploit protection whitelist workaround, disabling antivirus, manually adding EA AC security certificates and refreshing Windows. All result in the same crash.

I'm annoyed I wasted the entire 3 day early access period troubleshooting it.
