Note: This is not a duplicate of the resolved bugs from 1.16/1.17, those affected specifically the Oculus launcher. This issue affects the game when launching it through SteamVR.

Steps to Reproduce:

• create a shortcut to minecraft://mode/?OpenXR=true
• launch SteamVR
• launch the shortcut

Expected Result:
The main menu is displayed.

Actual Result:
The game crashes.

Additional Info

• I confirmed it was a crash and not intentional behaviour through the game generating a crashed session file in the log folder.
• This issue makes it impossible to verify whether or not MCPE-128724 has been resolved.
• Additional testing can be provided on request.
• I am using SteamVR 1.23.7 (Build ID: 1659988962) on the Release channel
