Thank you for finding this issue. We will look into what is the best way of fixing this.
In the mean time use non-vr mode (press F8 once) to open the top valves and then play on using vr-mode (press F8 once more).
I actually ended up using another method to turn those top valves: Before starting XSP, I put my wireless mouse in my right pocket, enabled the cursor option and turned off the Vive controllers. Then (with headset on), I grabbed my wireless mouse, and used it on a surface to turn the valves. Then turned on controllers again. Of course very awkward, but I did manage to move on in the game!
I hope that XSP will become a fully seamless VR experience, where keyboard can be avoided (especially for roomscale).
FYI: I first tried Misha's suggestion to turn the valves by jumping, but that did not work (also, to jump in VR while standing still IRL, is not particularly comfortable and might kickstart motion sickness). Instead, jumping caused a "glitch" where it was no longer possible to move the character in-game. I somehow got stuck in the reactor while jumping to turn the valve, and could not move away from the reactor, closed the game and started again.
Also (mentioned by another user), using the onscreen keyboard to chat can hinder the VR experience, making it too awkward. I would suggest to add pre-written sentences for the player to select instead of typing (slowly) with the Vive controller.
Besides this, XSP is a very promising VR experience which I would like to play fully through (with future VR fixes).
Cheers
