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!

One bug that is still present in the new version (0.82.1) that I am not sure has been reported before:

When looking at the Oculus Library: View and Edit, it doesn't show all 3rd party entries. A lot are missing. I suspect this is because they have identical titles. I.e. Onward and Dolphin are both just called vrserver.exe in the Oculus library. However I therefore have no way to edit the icon from the missing games

After first installing this version  DCS was not showing up in the profiles, after messing around in the tool shortly after boom there it was. Not sure why...

@ApollyonVR Is there a way of building in a hotkey to reset the play view? When I'm showcasing the view often needs to be reset and not all games have an inbuilt reset.

The Oculus menu button version is OK, but cause I'm not wearing the HMD it's difficult to explain to the wearer which button to press. A universal hotkey in your app would be awesome!

.... Or is this where you tell me it already exists in the app. Haha.

The Stop oculus service when tool exits and Close oculus home on tool exit options are not working for me. I have to manually stop the service before closing OTT.

Windows 10 1709 with admin account.
Oculus app version 1.20.0.474906

@JonahHax Seems to work fine for me, mind running a test in debug mode and send me the ott.log?

- Start OTT, go to the Tray Tool tab and tick "Run in debug mode" at the bottom.
- Make sure that the Start/Stop options for the Oculus Service are ticked on the Service & Startup tab. 
- Shut down OTT and remove/rename the ott.log file (C:\Program Files (x86)\Oculus Tray Tool\ott.log).
- Go to Services (in Windows that is) and double-check if the "Oculus VR Runtime Service" is running or not.
- Start OTT and again check the state of the "Oculus VR Runtime Service"
- In either case, send me the new ott.log file after startup and i'll have a peek.

Cheers!
