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 am new at VR.  So, what does this tool do? I have the Inateck 4 x USB 3.0 PCI-E card.  And do I need to DL the SDK as well?  Thanks.

@e_m_d88 This tool helps with a number of things, like increase stability of the Rift when using the Inateck card. If you suffer from disconnects then this might help you get rid of those. If you do not have problems with disconnects than don't worry about that part. It also has other things like super sampling profiles .e.g increase perceived resolution of the Rift, making things look a bit "crisper". You do not need any SDK, just the tool package. Check the readme or the youtube video that was made by Mike at Virtual Reality Oasis (that's not me in the video :p ). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R0eGdqmRxY. I am continuing to update the tool so check the main post from time to time and see if there's any new goodies added.

Cheers!

Yea, i looked into that, but it creates a bit of a problem when a VR app is in focus and not the tool itself. Will keep looking at that though.


I too would like shortcuts, even if the tool has to be in focus for them to work. Using Voice Attack or similar we could still turn on and off the performance hud without leaving the game (and without using a keyboard!).

The current version has voice commands built in, so try that out. I will very soon release an update with editable voice commands and also start/stop commands for the voice control.

What's up with the "Scan" option in profile settings? My Oculus library is in a non-default location, and the scan never finds anything. There is an "OculusPath" in config (I don't think it's exposed anywhere in the interface), but changing it to my library path does not do anything.

Apollyon: You can now control ASW with the 1.1 CLI tool.
for example to turn off ASW use the command: server:asw.Off

foresterr, will fix that in the next release and add a option to set path from the GUI.
Mace404, i know =) you can control ASW with voice commands in the current release of the tool, will add an option to set initial state in the next version as well.
@dougchism not sure what you mean? Does the application show up in the shutdown phase like something you need to force close or similar?
