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 have Global ASW turned OFF. Is there any way that I can confirm that ASW is indeed off? (or on?)

Because I swear its on.

I think Global ASW is usually set to auto, but if OTT says its off and not auto, it should be off I think.

@lumpking69  There's a Visual HUD overlay to check the ASW status, it's on the Game Settings tab, at the bottom.
Enable that and then change ASW and you'll see the info in the HUD change.

Cheers!

tyvm, I can officially confirm that setting "global asw mode" to off does not work anymore for me.it seems to always be on auto regardless of what I set it to.

Have you checked your game profile setting for ASW? It overrides the global setting.

Its a game on steam and the game doesn't have an ASW option. Its VRChat for the record. 

@ApollyonVR
Ive also noticed that regardless of what its set to, when I start the game up ASW seems to be on Auto. But when I'm in game and change it, it seems to change but it never goes off. If I change it to 45FPS, it seems to switch to 45FPS (FPS reads 45FPS). If I change it to auto, it seems to be on auto. But when I change it to off it seems to get stuck on 45fps. 

AFAIK, the only thing that has change is the 84 update. All of my other settings remain unchanged, "Allow Asynchronous Reprojection" and "Allow Interleaved Projection". are both disabled. The game hasn't had any major updates or anything. 

I'm willing to try anything. Ive already reinstalled twice. Any ideas?

Hmmm... have you tried testing other games or testing without the Tray Tool? It might be VRChat itself that just has this setting on by default, without having any option for it.

Sorry, I was referring the OTT game profile, not in-game.

I haven't, but I will later on today. But I don't expect anything to happen. I have friends who are using 83 are they aren't having any issues.

Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood. But I also didn't know that was a thing. Never thought to look in there. 

Anywho, I took a look and it was indeed set to auto despite the global setting. I have changed it to off. I will test it again later on tonight and report back! But it seems like this might have been the culprit. I'll keep me fingers crossed!
