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!

I tried your newest Beta you sent me but once I try to launch it after install I get in the bottom right hand of desktop "starting up please wait" and the mouse curser is just spinning, I tried several installs and reboots but not helping. It never opens properly. Even though the curser is still spinning I can click on logs and it says "Exception on Startup: The type initializer for "OculusTrayTool.OTTDB" threw an exception

I had the manifest error this morning and deleted the ApollyonVR folder and restarted. 
Now a bunch of my game profiles are gone and when I try to add them back, nothing happens?
Any idea on how to fix this as I really need a few titles with their specific profile settings.

Cheers.

Right now i cannot add / remove / modify third party games, and therefore cannot change profiles / turn off ASW for steam games anymore. Sad! :(

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).

Turns out all you have to do is add the game to your list...IT WILL NOT SHOW ITS ADDED...now close the tray tool completely and re-open it and the games you've ''added'' will now show up in your list.

I currently have a few testers that are all having similar issues which i need to fix. There is no point at this time to send it to more ppl until i've fixed those issues. Sorry for the delay on this version but there are a lot of changes to try and sort out.

Cheers!
