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!

@Rosgillies  I'm looking into that issue now, seems like a timing problem. Will send you an update to test.

The release of 0.85.2 is very close now, just got a few more things to test and verify.

I've searched and not seen this, so I'm hopefully not duplicating posts.  When I try to have the tool check for updates, I get an error that no internet is available, although I'm connected to the Internet (verified).  Any thoughts?

I would love to test your beta too.
Afterwards I report if any bugs occured.

Had problems with 0.85.1 earlier and I'm highly interested if they are fixed yet.

Thanks

I just got this tool a couple days ago, I have some questions if anyone would be so kind to help a n00b.

1)  Is there a setting I can do so that all games have the same profile, like 1.5 super sampling?
2)  Does this just auto work, or do I have to start it and keep it running before starting a game?
3)  Does this work with steam games?
4)  Do I have to change settings in Oculus Home or Dash?  I see it also has Anti Aliasing settings.
5)  Can I launch games normally, or do I have to launch them through OTT?
6)  Does OTT override game settings?  I see some games have some advanced options in them, do I need to lower them or does OTT override their values?
7)  What's some recommended settings?  I have been playing PC games for years, but I don't know what anti aliasing is or any advanced features.  I just usually set the overall settings to medium or high, maybe mess with shadows
8)  I'm just overall lost with this thing

If it helps my config is i7-7700k, EVGA GTX 1080 SC edition, 16GB DDR4 RAM, Windows 10

I set mine at 1.0 SS and man I get over 200 FPS in DCS World. or VR steady 90FPS.

you make a profile for each game yes works with Steam VR games, as long as you turn off the steam ASW.

no AA if you have VR I don't turn it on.
