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 keep getting SQL error messages - and I don't like that I lost all my profiles from 80.1 version. Maybe when I installed in a custom location it got clobbered - I have tried using the Win 10 Control Panel to uninstall. I tried adding aces.exe to my profiles and got an error - so I include ott-copy.log. If there is a way to cleanly start all over, let me know.

@whitav8 Changing installation path is a bit tricky, i will try and make some changes to that in later release. What you want to do at this time is

1) Rename the C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\ApollyonVR folder to ApollyonVR.old or similar
2) Install 0.83.1 in the new path. If you already have it installed then go to the new path and rename the
    ott.db to ott.db.old.
3) Go to the old installation path and find the config.xml or config.xml.OLD if that exists
4) Copy it over to the new path, and make sure it is named config.xml
5) Start the application and your settings and profiles should be migrated to the new SQLite database

Let me know how that works for you.

Cheers!

Now that SteamVR BEta added a auto SuperSampling I start to wonder... what happens if I set for example 1.4 as factor globally... does this affect SteamVR, too or only stuff running on OculusVR runtime?

I just cant get this program to minimise to the task bar.  I have put a checkmark in the start minimised button but it still starts on the scraan and not in the task bar.
Any pointers?

@ApollyonVR 
New version seems really solid!  Thanks!  Audio switcher seems to consistently work.  I am seeing something a little odd...  I've got the Oculus service set on manual and I've configured OTT to start the service when I start the tool.  I noticed that I have two instances of "OculusHome2" running while the tool and Oculus Home is running and when I shut down the tool, it only kills one instance of "OculusHome2" while the other stays running.  Is this normal?

Put the exe in exclusions in Mcafee (in real time scanning options).

Bugs i've suffered with 0.8 versions: Power management is working now and then, audio fallback works now and then, Oculushome2 service isn't killed when OTT is running (i have only option start oculus service on and i've set the Oculus executable to admin to prevent it loading Home2 when using SteamVR). Also the apps listing works funny sometimes and it adds software to the list like svchost and other system processes.Edit: Oculus to tray at start doesn't work at all. New feature "Don't require Oculus Home to be running" is great!
