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!

Hey ApollyonVR, theres a new feature in the Oculus Debug Tool that would be awesome to add to the OTT, the FOV tangent multiplier. This lets you increase the rendering canvas size in VR which can allow you to get a better 16x9 capture for streaming VR, I use it for every FPV game and it would be nice to not have to manually set it every time I start Oculus.

Don't know why - I did a clean install for this release - but the audio switcher isn't working for me. This usually is my first indication that Oculus have released an update or patch - but they haven't (afaik), so I'm a bit mystified.

***please note this issue has been fixed by using the latest version - d'oh!

Hi @ApollyonVR , thanks again for the recent updates.
I have a little issue, related to the "Default ASW Mode"

I have set it to "Off", and in Service & Startup options I have set to Launch Oculus Home on tool start.

But when I launch OTT, so OTT automatically launches Oculus Home, if I click on Visual HUD and choose ASW Status, the active option is wrong because I see in the HMD "available - not active", where it should be displaying "Not available". It seems to startup at default "Auto" instead although the Default ASW Mode being displayed is "Off"

If I extend the Default ASW Mode and reselect "Off", then yes in the HMD I see the expected "Not Avaiable" status

Not a big issue, as I know that I just reselect Off just after launching everything and no problem

Thanks for the update again. I just want to say great work.

At the same time though, I still have problems with home not actually minimizing to tray even though it says it has. This is random though as sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. It's a minor irritation but never the less present. Any idea what is causing this? Am I the only one experiencing this?

Yes, same problem here and mine always has to have home minimised manually despite OTT saying it has been done.

@ApollyonVR great tool man, but lately it does not work right. Game profile ss does not work (game:IL-2 Bos), and there is no more general option ss 0.8 (I need that to be able to spot planes in that game, and that game is playable on nvidia 1070). Can you please add general option ss low to 0.7? thank you

EDIT: Regarding my last post, OTT works, I just have problems with starting IL-2 bos in vr. It is same exe file for vr and non vr, and it somehow avoid ott. I have to investigate more.
PS: if possible, please add general ss lower than 1, that would help. thx

@BrziJoe  Good to hear. Regarding ss lower than 1.0, that is available as a chioce when you create a profile, yes? But i will also add it to the "Default Default Super Sampling" selection, so that will be in the next release.

Cheers!
