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!

Tried installing the 82.1 version and am including two screenshots here. Tool doesn't run and the service seems to be hanging.

@rjnmd70 Try renaming/deleting the C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\ApollyonVR folder and see if it works better after that.

Cheers!

DOESNT disable ASW in project cars 2 I run it from steam with the play with oculus vr option chosen...And space warp is still active however, despite I set it globally to off and per profile as well for it. Still pressing CTRL + 1 does evidently turn it off but one off only, i want it off permanently. I also have oculus home set to run as admin and updated to the latest beta.

Is Oculus Home running whilst you are playing Project Cars?
Believe it needs to be for the OTT to apply the settings.

I can confirm that Home does not need to be on for the setting to be applied.

You basically need any program that is currently using your Rift to be on, and then you restart the service, and the change should have taken effect.

Either that, or it works on and off.. But I know I had an issue like that with the debugger originally, so it's definitely more of an issue with that than it is an issue with OTT.

Source: I've renamed OculusVR.Exe to something else to prevent it from starting. It is a ram whore that has no utility to me, when I can just start things from my desktop manually.

.. especially considering that Dash is still in Beta.

When using the tray tool I get ghosting in certain games...if I don't use tray tool and set the oculus debug tool to the same settings (pd;1.2, asw 45fps) I do not get the ghosting.

Hi,
at first many thanks for this program. I really appreciate it.
But one question: I've seen hotkeys for enabling and disabling the performance HUD in the rift. But it seems, they are not working here.
Could you please help me? I really love to have the function to see the fps ingame sometimes but can switch it off without leaving the game.

I have a strange problem. I don't find profiles of Steam Games in the OTT. Crazier than that, I can't add any. If I browse to an exe, it is then not found under the profiles. Deleting the appdata folder did not help

@Andregee Might be that the config.xml file cannot be written to. If you could send me that file along with the ott.log file i'll have a look. Also, third-party games do not show up by default unless they are added to Home first. To do that, simply have Oculus Home open when you launch the game and it should be picked up by the Oculus client and added to Home.

Cheers!
