If you enable VR Mode auto entry, close the project, and then attempt to launch the engine again from the Binary launcher while the HMD is active (being Worn), the Project Browser will crash
Expected Result: Project browser allows you to pick a project and start the editor. Engine will automatically enter VR Mode
Outcome: Crash after Project Browser opens
