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!

Hi,

At first thanks and congrats ApollyonVR for your Tray Tool.

I'm just starting Oculus VR with Rift, i've installed all with the beta and OTT.

My problem is that i don't want to use a display when configs will be OK and for the time being i need it only to confirm the opening of Oculus Tray Tool.exe, i've tried a lot of things but confirmation is always needed and i don't know what to do anymore.

My conf is the following:

AsRock DeskMini GTX 1060

i7-7700 3,6 GHz
32 Go Ram
NVMe 250 Go 

Windows 10 Professional x64
Version 1709 - 16299.192

Oculus Beta 2.0 (i don't find the version)

Thanks for your help


I'm not 100% sure you are speaking about the confirmation window you see each time you launch OTT or any programs requiring Admin Rights, but if this is it here a way to avoid it : http://www.thewindowsclub.com/create-elevated-shortcut-run-programs-bypass-uac




Thanks YoLolo69 for your reply.

I've already tried your way but it doesn't change, i still get the same

Hi, I absolutely love this tool since discovering it two weeks ago (when I got my Rift).
I have two questions:
  1. Every time I boot my computer, I have to click yes on the grant permission pop-up dialogue box to run OTT.
    Is there any way to prevent that? I assume I always want it to boot at start-up + as Administrator.

  2. I've enabled the OTT setting to view and launch SteamVR from inside Oculus Home. Does this mean that I only need to define my Super Sampling once in OTT and it will impact my Steam launched titles? Or must I also use my SteamVR Advanced Settings to modify the Super Sampling?

When you first set OTT to run at windows startup, you should be presented with two options. The first one (which it selects as default) is regular startup - this will give a UAC prompt each time. The second is to start as a scheduled task (this should eliminate the UAC prompt each time it starts). Tick this second option to have it start automatically without UAC prompt.

@ApollyonVR ;

Question for ya.
I have been running the OTT for my Rift ever since getting last year. Main reason to solve my sensor disconnects on this Innnatek USB 3.0 card, and it has worked quite well for the most part.

Past couple of months or so I have  begun having both sensor not connected and sometimes the HMD not connected. I can typically unplug them from the card and plug them back in to get them back. Does not happen during a session but will typically happen when putting the headset on and Home starting up. Kind of annoying.

I will likely order the Startech card as I understand it is better, in hopes it will help this. Before I do though I just want to run by you how I have my OTT set up for this Innatek card to make sure I don't have something wrong.

To clarify it is usually one sensor that will show not connected, and usually the same sensor.

Power Plan - High Performance ( set this plan on start ).
USB Selective Suspend - Disabled
Fresco Registry Tweaks - Enabled
Disable Fresco Power Management on Start - checked.

Thanks for any input!

OTT text to speech started working out of the blue again. No idea what prompted it to return.

@dburne  Those settings look correct. I have also noticed i've started having USB disconnect sounds when doing non-VR stuff like playing other games for example. Not when i actually use the headset though, and not when Home start like you describe. Since we've all (probably) have had a few Windows patches and drivers updated lately, along with the Oculus 1.22 update, there might be some relation to those changes. I'm currently working to get the new version done and get support for 1.22 out do you all, but once that is done i can spend some time looking into that.

@HeyJesseAe  Same goes for that issue. But i will take a look at it and see if i can replicate the issue but also improve the feature overall. With the 1.22 version Oculus has change a few things, so i have quite a lot of stuff i need to fix in order to get OTT working properly.

Cheers!

Sometimes I have the problem that Ctrl 3 doesn't enable the asw. Has someone had this problem, too?
