Question

Oculus TrayTool - SuperSampling profiles, HMD disconnect fixes (hopefully)

Oculus Tray Tool  
current version: 0.87.3

What is it?
In short; It’s a free application that helps you get the most out of your Rift. It is developed by me, ApollyonVR, with the support of the community for beta testing. Please note that this application is not an official piece software from Oculus, I am not affiliated with Oculus in any way. Any issues you
have with this application should be reported to me and not Oculus support. You can reach me here on the forums or by contacting me at *REDACTED*

Oculus Tray Tool (OTT) has many features that will hopefully help you get the very best VR experience. It has options that help you automatically switch audio and microphone to the Rift and back, handle the Oculus runtime service, voice commands, batch import Steam games (added to OTT by the awesome headkaze over at http://headsoft.com.au), replace icons for your games and more.

It’s primary feature however, is the ability to create “Profiles” for you VR Games and apps.
Within these Profiles, you set how Asyncronous SpaceWarp (ASW) should act, increase the perceived resolution by using Supersampling and increase the CPU Priority of a given app to get the most juice out of your system for that specific application.
Once a Profile has been created for a game or app, OTT will detect when it is started and apply the
profile for it, without the need for taking your headset of.

If you want to have a peek at all the things OTT can do for you before installing the application, check the User Guide pdf. The latest version of this application will always be right below this intro, but the app also checks for available updates on startup.

Enjoy, have fun and please report any issues, suggestion or feature requests to me using the above mentioned methods. Oh, and feel free to buy me a coffee by using the PayPal button in-app. 🙂
 
The very nice people over at Guru3d.com have been kind enough to host some mirrors for the setups, so make sure to pay them a visit!

UPDATE 03/08

Hi all!
It's been a while since i released a new version, but now the time has come! 😃
I'm looking for ppl who want to test the new version before public release.
There are primarily changes for the Quest but anyone is welcome to test it.
Just drop an email to *REDACTED* and i'll get you a download link
and some instructions. Also include what type of headset (Rift or Quest)
that you are using.

 

Also, i now have a proper domain for the website, so swing by www.ApollyonVR.com
and check out the new Forum! If you have questions, comments or suggestions

that is the place to post them. 😃

 

Below are the release notes for the new version. Please note that this is a Beta version

for testing the new features. If you just want to use a stable version of OTT then head

over to www.apollyonvr.com and simply download the latest version.

 

Version 0.87.7
* Oculus Dash will now use the same CPU Priority as what you set for OVR Server.
* Added a "Comments" option to Profiles.
* Implemented Paolod29's code for a permanent AirLink (https://github.com/pd29/oculus-airlink-enabler).
* Added more choices to the Quest Link settings for "Bitrate" and "Encode Resolution".
* Added option for "Force Mipmap generation on all layers" on the Game Settings tab.
* Added option for "Offset Mipmap bias on all layers" on the Game Settings tab.
* Added option for "Force Mipmap generation on all layers" to Profiles.
* Added option for "Offset Mipmap bias on all layers" to Profiles.
* Added option for "Encode Dynamic Bitrate" on the Quest Link tab.
* Added option for "Dynamic Bitrate Max" on the Quest Link tab.
* Added "FOV Multiplier" to Profiles. Setting this to a value lower than 1, for example 0.8,
will increase FPS due to less pixels being drawn at the expense of lower FOV.
* When creating a brand new Profile, the current settings from the Game Settings tab will be used.
This will make it even easier to create a new Profile! Simply experiment with different settings
on the Game Settings tab, and when you have found the perfect combo for a given game those
settings are copied over when you click "Create new Profile".

* Added option to Disable profiles.

* Redesigned the Profiles window a bit.
* Fixed some bugs.

 
Cheers!

My voice commands stopped working. Every time I start OTT it shows Voice Commands as disabled. I can change it to enabled but it still doesn't work. And when I restart OTT it goes back to disabled.

I recently upgraded windows 10 to the latest feature update (1803), not sure if that's related.


Have you made sure the Windows 10 voice commands themselves are working? They can be a bit fiddly sometimes



Yes I did check that. I ended up doing a "reset all settings to default" in OTT and now it's working again. The settings must have gotten corrupted or something.

@ApollyonVR 

Just fyi - recently started playing Star Trek Bridge Crew again - after getting The Next Generation DLC.
 I now get two audio confirmations each time I launch the game. Not sure if that affects anything but thought I should mention it. 2nd audio confirmation comes a few seconds after the 1st.

I'm having issues with the try tools menu disappearing out of screen and I have to lower my native resolution to get it to come back to the FOV center of the monitor to use it. 2560x1440, I have to lower my res to 1920x1080 to get it from the top left corner and bring it back to the middle of the screen then go back to my higher native resolution.

Unfortunately, the firmware update seems to have bricked it - for me, at least.

@71st_Mastiff I should be able to fix that for next release.

@Brixmis  What do you mean? Bricked OTT or you Rift? if you are haing issues with the Rift after a FW update i think it's better you post in the Support category. If you are having issues with OTT then some more info on the problem would be great.

The new version is taking some time due to other works things, summer vacations, and recent family stuff that needs dealing with. I am working on it, it will come, but it will take a little time to get ready. Sorry for the wait.

Cheers!

After the latest 1.29 firmware update I found I just needed to uninstall OTT (everything, including profiles and settings), then reinstall OTT and select the options I want plus redo profiles (I only had a few of these).  After this it seems to work fine (in both Core 1.0 and Core 2.0 Homes btw).  Prior to this it did not seem happy to use profiles and audio switching was a bit hit and miss.  Ok now for me though.

I gave that a try and OTT would not start up fully, was just stuck on loading and never started up. Luckily I had not emptied my recycle bin after deleting the remaining files after uninstall, so I restored the OTT.db and OTT.log files that were in the recycle bin, and now it starts properly again.

Not sure why that happened in my case, I would suggest anyone that tries this to not permanently delete those files from the recycle bin just in case.
