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!

@Andregee That is somewhat intentional, i don't touch the default Communication device, just the Audio and Capture devices. In part due to that the new API i'm using does not provide a method for the communication device, but also because i though it was not necessary as most voice apps should use the Capture device, and only things like Skype or Whatsapp and such should in most cases use the Communications device. But i can implement parts of the old method i used in 0.84 to handle just the communication device, and perhaps add a checkbox for that so you can select it to also switch. Will add that and send you something to test. Will be sometime after the holidays though.

Cheers!

Is there a way to stop OTT from auto searching for the update? I cant stop it, it will always search for it and expects me to update. I really wanna go back to 0.84 --- 0.85 killed my old profile and i had to reinstall everything, it takes like 1 minute to start up and i have all kind of troubles with it! :(

I also have noticed 0.85 takes a lot longer to start up.

Same here. In the log there is a line that I think makes reference to the problem that generates such a delay in starting the app:

System.NullReferenceException: Referencia a objeto no establecida como instancia de un objeto.
   en OculusTrayTool.GetConfig.GetConfig()   en OculusTrayTool.GetConfig.GetConfig()

The app still is great and works, hope it gets fixed. Deleted everything from C:\C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\ApollyonVR and C:\Program Files (x86)\Oculus Tray Tool and reinstalled but it keeps failing to start smoothly without that error.

@Prof_Awesome There is no way to disable update checking at this time, i can add an option to only do manual update checks. For everyone that has issues; logs are helpful. :-) A PM here on the forums or an email with a description of the problem(s) along with the ott.log is a good start.

Cheers!

@ApollyonVR , thank you very much for the software and for the support.

This is the first part of the ott.log before the "GetThirdPartyApps:" lines. As you can see, after the line

25/12/2018 22:24:05: Getting list of available Power Plans...

there is a long 1,5 minutes before the app continues. All this time the little box in bottom right corner showing

starting up, please wait

at some point it seems to go across and it finishes loading, and in my case opens Oculus Home minimized correctly.

Thanks dude, i really love OTT, using it since the first minute of having my Rift. Its the first time i have trouble with it. I have some major performance issues since i use 0.85.1 and i want to figure out if it really is OTT. Its probably not but its the only thing i changed actively. Keep up the good work man. :)
