Previously played successfully with no issues.
Now, tried to play with flatpak WiVRn and the game had sound but just a black screen.
I then tried the AUR version of WiVRn, no dice. Same issue.
I tried with -dx11 and -dx12 as launch options, also no dice.
I then tried ALVR, which got me to the Vankrupt logo and disclaimer, but then it crashed my entire desktop session when getting into the main menu. I did not see a single frame of the main menu inside the headset, only on the PC screen.
Then I tried SteamVR with Steam Link VR, and it actually almost worked too! It got through the logos, but crashed with the following error in the main menu (and once again didn't see a single frame of the main menu in the headset, only on the monitor)

Sometimes starting it with WiVRn results in the game not starting in VR, but then boots successfully into the main menu, although not in VR so it is not playable.

Testing with WiVRn on a fresh install of Fedora with Proton Experimental, it works great on Quest 2. Very rarely, I will get frame drops, but I assume that's because of USB throughput or Wifi lag spikes. Sometimes, a visual glitch occurs where after firing a rifle with a magnified scope, what is seen through the scope doesn't update, but dying and respawning fixes this.
On Quest 3/WiVRn, the game launches, but when I get to the main menu, I cannot see my hands or where I'm selecting, but I can still select items in the menu. On top of this, no background will load in the main menu, and I get zero visuals when in the shooting range (I can still interact with items and shoot, strangely enough). I suspect this is an issue with how pavlov loads in controllers, but its just a hunch.
Testing with ALVR, the game would start briefly, get past the anticheat screen, then crash on both Q2 and Q3.

Using the latest Monado/OpenComposite/etc., and setting up OpenXR properly according to https://monado.freedesktop.org/valve-index-setup.html#3-configure-the-openxr-runtime (I used that guide in its entirety instead of Envision to make sure that every step worked correctly.), the game takes a minute to launch, but otherwise runs great under Monado.
I also used proton experimental to make sure that all the EAC bits worked correctly, which I had no problem with.
The game is a stuttery mess under SteamVR, like most games under SteamVR.

I recorded test gameplay here and here.
What I got were really bad stutters/freezes/disconnections every 10-30 seconds (both display and controllers), with great performance in between: perfect latency and clarity/resolution. Also, there's a bug in the menus where only touching the trigger registers as a click instead of actually pulling the trigger, as yayameowmeow mentioned. Arguably the performance is not usable, but it still boots and runs, I would just suggest using ALVR instead until it improves.

Works nearly perfectly, hovering over menu options and putting your finger on the capacitive sensor will count as clicking though, in game gunplay works fine and stable.

ALVR was nigh flawless
WiVRn straight up doesnt work

Server gets spammed with:

The game never fully starts and just sits on a black screen.
