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!

I'm having a problem with 0.84 - profiles don't load. Well, Hellblade did, but not Along Together nor Seeking Dawn. Anyone experiencing this problem? Oh, Lone Echo didn't load either - that is I got no voice confirmation except Hellblade... I've tried to reset OTT, it didn't help.

Ok, just deleted all profiles and recreated them - now they seem to be working again, but it seems like the profiles often stop working, I'm suspicious that Seeking Dawn may be causing the error (but need to test it more).

All my 6x profiles came over fine when I updated to 0.84.  I added a couple more later, no problems.  Everything seems to work fine for me, including  minimize on startup.  I just used the 0.84 exe file to update with 0.83 shutdown btw.  Everything seem to work great for me. As I said earlier, the audio switcher seems to be more reliable now.  Thanks again for this valuable tool.

- And I just lost working profiles again. So if I delete them all and recreate them, then profiles work for the first OTT launch, but the next launch and for all future launches profiles don't work. Global ss works perfectly, but mine is 2.0, so you get the idea ;-)

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I don't know why you have this problem and nobody else has it?  Maybe try lowering your global ss down a bit.  SS at 2.0 seems a little high for a 1080.  With a 1080ti I set my global to 1.3 and individual profiles up to 1.5.  Anything above this does not seem to give me significant benefits, just lower fps and more cpu/gpu heat.  Also, maybe check that any in-built game profiles are not conflicting with ott.  Good luck sorting this out mate.

@RuneSR2 Have you checked the log to make sure that the profiles are indeed not being applied? Both the ott.log and the log window will contain info when a profile is applied. Just to make sure it’s not only the audio confirmation that missbehaves. 

Cheers!

I switched back to 83 because the start minimized issue was bugging me and I still suspect that turning off global ASW in 84 isn't working and now 83 wont start minimized either. 

Any idea why 83 would suddenly stop starting minimized?

Maybe make sure you are running this as an Administrator.  Also maybe try a proper uninstall, restart your pc, then reinstall.
