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!

0.83 apparently not running Oculus service on startup (indefinitely in startup mode until user executes manual restart of Oculus service) then any settings entered (start with Win, any power options, etc) are not being saved and are nullified upon OTT restart.

Edit: Added OTT location to AV exclusion list in case AV was the cause of disabling any changes or saves made by OTT but still no joy. :neutral:

@Stumpy2101 Do a run in debug mode and let me see the ott.log file. If you can get the gui to open, go to the Advanced tab and you can restart in debug mode there. Or, you can open a elevated command-prompt and run "OculusTrayTool.exe -d" to start it up in debug mode. As a last resort you can reset the settings. This is also done on the Advanced tab or by running "OculusTrayTool.exe -r". This will reset all settings to default but leave your profiles intact.

Cheers!

I get an error on start up:
28-2-2018 12:57:58 Failed to read database entry for appId 'E_ProgramFiles(x86)_Steam_steamapps_common_Guns'n'StoriesPrefaceVR_OMT_Binaries_Win64_OMT-Win64-Shipping': SQL logic error or missing database
near "n": syntax error

I deleted the game afterwards but that didn't help.

Thanks for the update!
It seems it needs some polishing though. First thing i noticed is that it conflicts with my GOG Galaxy app and gives me error messages(this app has nothing to do with VR). Then i noticed at the experiences tab that i cant see anything. Only when i put the mouse in the window i can see some experiences icons and those are only for steam or 3rd parties. Also when  tried to close the pc it refused to obey my commands because of OTT, so i had to use my powers and close it on force.
I hope you give us some bug fixing updates in the future and thanks for your hard work!

I had all the same issues, but after the reboot, they all cleared up.

@grekb Try resetting the settings to Default if things don't look better after a reboot. You reset the settings by doing one of the below actions.

Go to the Advanced tab, click "Reset all settings to Default"
- or-
Start OTT from an elevated command-prompt using "OculusTrayTool.exe -r"
- or -
Remove the folder "C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\ApollyonVR"

This is great. I've had a mix up 3 or 4 times now so its great that I can reset this in App. 0.83 looks a large improvement to me. Thanks for the hard work!
