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. 🙂

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've uninstalled OTT for now - using the Windows uninstall panel - but I'm getting start-up errors in any case. What does the uninstaller leave behind besides profile data?

btw, I can also confirm that the momentary black screens were definitely not caused by OTT, as I got one after uninstalling, and it's now worse, lasting several seconds.

@Jerry_Cherry_Pie I'm working on those issues, there will be an update soon.

@Brixmis Not sure what you mean by startup errors? When Windows boots or? If you hade OTT set to start with Windows those settings are left behind as the uninstaller canot revert that (the Uninstalling section of the user guide says to disable this option before uninstalling). If that was the case, drop me a PM and i'll let you know how to manually remove that from Windows. Also, regarding temporary black screen; Disabling power saving on all Rift devices, disabling USB suspend and switching power scheme to high performance can help. OTT can do this, perhaps that's why it worked better with OTT running? But in some cases it just doesn't do enough. I had the same issue, with the good 'ol Inateck card. Finally decided enough is enough and tossed it as far as i could throw it and got myself a StarTech card. Not a single issue since, all smooth sailing. So try putting the Rift and Sensors in different USB ports, and if that fails i would try getting a new expansion card.

Thanks - I just found it and came back to say so  :)

Yes, it was still entered under the Windows "Run" entry in the registry. All sorted. I really want to start with a completely clean installation when you release the update, as I've not done that for the last 4 releases.

I keep forgetting about the USB power saving - I had that set through OTT, however, I know windows likes to reset it when larger updates are released and I forget to check it again.

Thanks again.

you should always check your motherboard manufactures Bios updates, I had one that fixed My USB issues.
