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!

Thanks, seems to work great. Why though, does the launch lady say her announcement of program launched when I close the program as well as when it`s opened? It did that with 84.0 as well/

Not done that as I only run oculus for my sims. ETS2 ATS AC PC2 and RF2. They`re the only ones in my profiles page. Does`nt really bother me, just curious is all. Still the best app for games ever to come out. Absolutely indispensable.

@71st_Mastiff It is probably still there for some reason (bug?). So if you right-click the task bar in Windows and go to Task Manager, then to the Startup tab. Can you see it there as Enabled? If so Disable it and you should be good. If not, or it's not there, it is probably running as a Scheduled task. So open up the Task Scheduler by just typing that into windows search.
In the Task Scheduler Library, look for Oculus Tray Tool, right-click it and Delete it. Hope that helps.

Similar to the above, since the update to 0.85.1, OTT keeps loading fully on each startup despite having the 'Start minimized' being checked. I've tried unchecking it, rechecking it, reinstalling, the works. Every restart, it will load the OTT fully and not minimized.

@Danaus  Try starting it from an elevated command-prompt with "oculustraytool.exe -u" to force a settings update. If that does not resolve the issue try using "reset all settings to default" from the Advanced tab.

The audio mode Switcher doesn't work as before with the 0.84. I would continue to use the version, but switching under Windows 1809 doesn't work at all anymore.
With the 085.5 under Windows 1809 the audio device is changed, as you can see in the first picture 

but the other audio device remains active, so that Teamspeak what is set to use the standard audio device works even after switching mit with usual headphones and mic and not with the rift as audio device. It works only for games and and this is very uncomfortable because you either have to activate everything manually in the audio settings or you have to activate the rift manually in Teamspeak.
With the 0.84 under Windows 1803 it worked as you can see on the picture.


The other audio device was kept only ready but not as standard communication device so that a simple activating of Oculus Home was enough to set the rift as the main audio device and microphone for the whole software what was set to use the standard audio device
