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!

So IPD.Generic is something that the AV companies use as a "we don't know what this is, but just to get your attention we'll delete/quarantine it" thing. I have had that myself depending on the Avast version. I suspect they flags OTT, and any file for that matter, for two reasons:

1) It is not actually an installed application but a "unknown" .exe being executed.
2) It accesses the registry to read, and in the Inateck tweaking case, also write.
3) It is not signed (which costs money as far as i know)

There are ways of submitting a file as safe to the AV companies, but it is not enough that one person does it. Would defeat the purpose if the developer of some shady software could flag it as safe =)
The AV companies need a whole bunch of "This is safe" reports to add it to their build-in white list, which is a bit of a pain and i cannot really ask the community to do that. There are ways of making Microsoft's built-in stuff mark it as safe also, but last time i checked that came with a price tag attached to it. =/

OTT has thousands of downloads, i hope that can serve as some form of verification that it is safe. =)

Cheers!

Hello everyone,

first of all, thank you so much for this neat little tool ApollyonVR. It really helped me understanding and using my Rift properly. The issue I have since this morning is though, that it stopped working.. It was okay for over a week, now the program starts up, the tray shows "Starting up, please wait" all the time and the mouse over the window itself is a blue circle.

What I don't understand with this is that nothing has changed on my system or software since yesterday.

So does anyone maybe have a suggestion how I can convice to tool to start again correctly?

Thanks so much in advance!

Mine still work fine, possibly a Windows update messed the tool? Which version of Windows you are using? I'm on Windows 10 and "winver" shell command return "Version 1703 (OS version 15063.483)"

Been a bit afk lately due to work, sorry about that. I would suspect your antivirus, so make an exception for OTT in there. If thing still don't work then PM me the ott.log and i'll have a look.

Cheers!

The Tray Tool works for SteamVR and Oculus Home games. But if you use the Tray Tool to Super Sample then set the super sample slider to default in SteamVR. And visa versa.

Default is 1.0, right (as I use the Tray Tool)?

Some help pls. Any idea why Performance Headroom keeps showing very low red/negative bar even while FPS is at 90? Running Assetto Corsa w/ only 10 AI (stock GT cars in stock tracks: Spa or Mugello). Medium settings only slightly lower than Riftracers settings.
PC: i5-4670k and 980Ti and 16Gb RAM.

I would have presumed FPS to drop if Performance Headroom goes low. Thanks BTW for the video.

Thank you for your reply!
I've tried to add the program to the exception list, and also deactivated the virus scan completely for a test. Still same behavior.

I've seen this in everything I've used so far, even in the Oculus Lobby area, but the frames show a consistent 90 so I've given up worrying about it. I've never had any frame drops or problems on my GTX1080 though even at SS 1.5.
