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!

Now Oculus has applied the 1.22 update whether I want it or not  OTT wont apply profiles so sims like ETS2 etc back to a jerking shimmery mess. Makes you realise just how valuable OTT and Apollyonvr are to the community.  Hope your update does`nt take too long. Your`e the best.

Indeed. I want to sub-sample in Primordian since it has no graphics settings whatsoever. Eagerly awaiting updated OTT!

EDIT: I ended up using the Debug Tool.

It still works but you cannot edit your library using OTT because of the new manifest folder location.

Three days in a row now my Rift has been rock solid! Guess all I had to do was mention it to get it right lol.

Now I have the Problem, that ASW Hotkeys aren't working anymore. Pressing Ctrl + 3 on Numpad, I have more than 45 FPS, but unfortunately less than 90. Has there something changed?

This is a little workaround for anyone wanting to use settings for a steam game that's not appearing in the library at the moment - it's a bit messy but will do the job:-

- Add the game to your profile library by browsing for and adding the .exe
- Nothing will be added on the Profiles screen but the log should say it's created or updated an entry for that game
- The config.xml file in the OTT folder (most likely C:\Program Files (x86)\Oculus Tray Tool) will now have a section for the game that you added, and you can go and tweak the values to suit if you open it in notepad or similar (I had to change file permissions to be able to save changes, so watch out for that).

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.

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.

Ok I uninstalled OTT and reinstalled, and it didn't give me any prompt on those options :(
Still booting with annoying UAC prompt ahhhhhhh

Try unchecking start with windows then rechecking it.  A prompt should come up asking you the same thing.
