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!

@Miguke Perhaps there's something that's blocking the download? It's an .exe so there might be something preventing the download. I've provided an alternate download source, as a .zip, so see if this one works better. It's up on the first page also.


Cheers!

Small problem here, OTT no longer starts minimized. The option is selected, but no dice. I've uninstalled/reinstalled with no luck. Prior couple of versions worked just fine, issue started after upgrading to the most current version.

Is it possible to change the position of the performance display? I read the FAQ but couldnt find anything. If its not possible (yet) is it something you could consider to add? I really love the tool and its a must-have.

If anyone is having issues with games not being detected when the
game uses a launcher (like Elite, iRacing etc.) i have a new build that
hopefulyl fixes that. Also, this build should fix issues with weird barrel/fish-eye view when mirroring Oculus Home, and also multiple mirror windows. So just ping me and i'll get you the new build to test out.

Hi,
I have a slight problem with the power plan being reset to "high performance" via OVRServer_x64.exe whenever I put my headset on. This is extremely annoying since i use Bitsum ParkControl software and use the included "bitsum highest performance" plan and want that to be used. I have chosen this profile in OTT aswell but it will not keep it. Is it possible to get OTT to lock out OVRServer_x64.exe from changing the power plan?

@MA_Goblin Not that i know of, but i might be able to make something that detects the change in power plan and resets it if needed. I have Ultimate Performance set in OTT, so when i start OTT it sets this plan. When i then trigger the proximity sensor or put the HMD on, it keeps that plan. But, if i have for example Balanced set as plan, then Oculus will switch to High Peformance. So, if would suspect that oculus sets High performance if a "lower" plan is detected, and "bitsum highest performance" is a custom plan and is probably not "measured" by windows and Oculus cannot determine if this plan is "higher" than "high performance". Just a theory though. I do think that the "Ultimate Perfomance" plan in windows does what "bitsum highest performance" does, according to the Bitsum homepage and also when reading about the different plans. So to work around the issue but get the same thing, i would suggest using Ultimate Performance instead and see how that works.

Cheers!
