Using OTT to super sample seems to cause a massive issue with Dash now. It seems to be worse when you use the game profiles to set a different SS than the default. Anytime there's a dash notification while playing, the game freezes up for several seconds. This is on Quest 2 wired with 1.5x render resolution with a 3080. Even if I just set SS to 1.2 the game will freeze up if Dash pops up (otherwise performance is fine). Any fix or workaround?

Tbone I've found it best with my Q2/rtx3090 to forget about using any SS with OTT now. Just put in 0 (zero), rest defaults, and use your Oculus pc Desktop device graphics settings and ODT setting to max your game clarity and performance. You can also apply in-game settings if they are available and you still have headroom. For SteamVR manually set visuals to 100% and disable advanced super sample filtering. I still use a few OTT game profiles in order to set different ASW options, esp with flight sims. I also use the OTT audio switcher because I find it a little more reliable.

I have absolutely no problems using OTT, but I'm using an older version, maybe 0.84 or close.
I'm forcing ss 2.5 globally and reduce for a few select games. All games work perfectly, including new games like Cosmonious High and Tentacular.
And I'm using the Rift CV1.
Btw, since 2017 my OTT has been set to start minimized everytime Win10 starts - also never had any issues with that. I'm still using an older version of OTT, because I do not fix things that work flawlessly.

I don’t have a problem either but I’m pretty sure you could stop oculus service running soon as you closed the oculus app. As it stands you HAVE to exit OTT for it to stop the oculus service which why would I want to close the OTT for? This new update on OTT makes me have to close it as I don’t want oculus service running when not using it.

MrBluePlaydoh I use the Oculus runtime ovr on/off option when starting up and shutting down OTT all the time because this makes it easier to switch between my 2x PCVR headsets (Vive Pro and Q2). The VP1 Link Box on/off power button also helps. I don't recommend starting up OTT with Win10 btw since this does not add any value to me. I just have OTT pined to my win10 lower taskbar, next to my Oculus desktop app and startup OTT, then Oculus.
I also use the OTT audio switching options as well as some game profiles to finetune ASW and SS settings. I recently started using FOV at 0.90:0.85 as well and this has given me a bit of a performance boost, without any actual FOV changes that I can see.
