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!

Can't get OTT to work. When I try to start the program I get a message that says it is starting and to wait. The program never gets passed that message. It also will not save any setting that I make in the menu. I am using the latest version with Windows 10 and have just installed the Oculus with current updates.

Any assistance would be appreciated. By the way, running OTT and Oculus as administrator.

Regards,

Danny

Hello Danny.... I had a issue and i deleted the ott text file showing in the map.

Maybe try this.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried deleting the ott.txt file, but, it made no difference.

Hi, I'm noticing that when I have ASW Mode locked to 45FPS from the drop down box and in the Game Profiles that it doesn't work in game (both Elite Dangerous & RFactor2), I have to manually CTRL + Numpad 3 every time I load both games up. I have rebooted and this issue has persisted since the 0.69x versions and it's still bugged with the latest 0.70.1 version.

Is this a known issue? Or is there something my end that is perhaps not working correctly? I have clean uninstalled and reinstalled this program.
Thanks

I've had this problem a couple of times now, had to reinstall Windows (for a different issue) which fixed it the first time but it's happening again. When my computer starts up Oculus Tray Tool gets stuck on "Starting up,please wait" I tried deleting and copying it back from the download because it looked like there was some issue with configuration. I ran it as an administrator to start with and have tried closing it down and restarting as administrator but no success.

Edit: Tried deleting the config folders found in Users\AppData\Local\ApollyonVR\OculusTrayTool.exe_Url_kc2z40lzgjqs0ffiqnmyfmquwqk0bmkm . That worked.

Another Edit. Happened again, had to delete the file again.

Heads up! Got an update on the way, need a bit more time to get it done but it will include

* a new (and hopefully improved) gui. Re-designed for better usability with things like control and font adjustments and better navigation.
* new profile management (again, hopefully improved).
* third-party app visibility and management (like replacing icons).

Thanks to everyone who are using this tool and the many kinds words you send me!

Cheers!

Great Tool. many thanks. can i ask a few questions being a complete newbie.

1) i have set SuperSampling to 1.5 so i presume this will open all games in both Oculus Home and Steam VR??

2) i want to play BatmanVR which is in my steam library the setting will be 1.5 Super Sampling as stated above, unless i select a profile eg BatmanVR.exe from the Steam Library and set SuperSampling to 1.1

3) not relating to you App (unless it is there and i havent seen it) is there a way to see what FPS im getting?

any help greatly appreciated

1) It doesn't open games, but I think what you mean is the tool will apply SS to both games. But I'd suggest leaving it to zero for SteamVR (SVR) games, and set SS inside SVR (Settings->Developer) for SVR games.
2) I don't understand, what's the question?
3) You can use the different overlays in the tool. I also use MSI Afterburner, but this will display only on the monitor.

1) ok didnt know that was an option. so to setup Oculus Tray for that do i setup a profile that when i open SteamVR to set Supersampling to 1? then every game within SteamVR will be run at 1? or does them selecting an application within SteamVR actually open another .exe and thus default SS is taken which i have set to 1.5??

2) is just talking about using Profiles.

3) i didnt know there was overlays but i think i just found them
