The Oculus Tray Tool Does Not Seem to Exist Anymore

I have noticed that the Oculus Tray Tool website is no longer in operation (google oculus tray tool download). https://apollyonvr.com

This is a real pity imho since I used this free app for +6yrs, starting with my Rift cv1. My current version 0.87.8.0 still seems to work fine. I use it to help finetune games/sims SS and ASW setting, plus turn on/off oculus runtime because I also still use a native SteamVR Vive Pro1.

I think there may be an older version available here, but I don't know if it works or not, and it seems to be an older version;

It's a real pity that Meta hasn't incorporated OTT into their ODT, or at least included game profiles by now imho.

If anyone knows if the current version of OTT is available elsewhere, please let us know. Thanks.

TomCgcmfc sadly, it looks like 0.87.8.0 is the latest and last version of the Oculus Tray Tool. The site is available on the Wayback Machine, but the OTT download has not been archived. ☹️ Fortunately, I've got a copy of 0.87.8.0 and also managed to get a copy of the WMR tool as well.

Ya, maybe someone like yourself with better PC skills than me can provide a way for others to download the latest version. Thanks mate and cheers.

Thanks for the warning TomCgcmfc

It's a little worrying as I'm reliant on this tool for smooth MS Flight Sim running. Maybe there are other ways to do it, but forcing ASW in OTT transforms the sim for me.

Ya, I'm also a little worried about this because I use OTT for just about everything. I mainly use its Game Profiles to set SS and select asw modes for individual apps.

The bad news without OTT is you'll need to edit your ODT file to do these prior to starting up an app.

The good news is that if you only want to change asw modes, you can do this 'on the fly' by using the Ctrl+num 1-4 keys to do this.

Ctrl+num1 (numeric keyboard 1, not top row 1) = asw disabled

Ctrl+num2 = forced 45fps, asw disabled (actually 1/2 your refresh rate. I use 80Hz so = 40fps)

Ctrl+num3 = forced 45fps, asw enabled

Ctrl+num4 = asw auto enabled (default)

These are very handy to use in any PCVR app you're running through Link or Air Link since you can try these out on the fly to see which works best for you. For me, with msfs2020 I prefer Forced 45fps, asw disabled.

Also not that these keyboard shortcut commands will not work if you're using Virtual Desktop for your PCVR because VD does not have the official Oculus runtimes, just their version if it.

It's a pity that Meta could not as least add game profiles to ODT and/or incorporate OTT within the meta-link pc app. I have suggested this a number of times to them and they say this might happen in the future. Hopefully that's going to happen sooner rather than later.

Cheers for that and noted. Maybe the forced ASW is something that lifts medium tier GPU performance in FS but holds back the top cards, it's the only program I need to use it with.

I might have a go at creating an autoit executable to edit the ODT file, I can have an FS shortcut that then edits the file, launches the game and edits it back when the game stops running, it's good for that stuff and relatively easy to do, cuts out the step of launching OTT each time too.

But yes, Meta could absolutely add some nice power user settings like per game profiles.

Ya, that link worked great mate. Many thanks. I'll probably tuck this away for the future in case I need it. Cheers.

TomCgcmfc I've also added a direct link to the the OTT and WMR tray tool in the earlier post to make them easier to get to.

Just an update on OTT;

Since the last couple of meta updates, esp. v83, a few things no longer work properly with the Oculus Tray Tool (OTT).

The Audio switcher now only works if you use OTT start/off options, not the Oculus home start/off options. This may be due to Meta changing the Meta-Link target file.

Also, Game profiles now only work if you go to the Advanced tab and select/check box 'start on OTT start'. I mainly use game profiles to set super sampling and ASW modes. You can also do this manually by editing Oculus Debug Tool. With ASW modes you can also do this on the fly with ctrl+num1-4 keys.

I now find it best to avoid using the start up with windows option and just link OTT to my taskbar and start it up before using any meta headset. Afterwards, right click on the taskbar icon and exit it (like you should also do with the meta link icon).

The Power Options tab no longer seems to do anything. You may get an OTT startup warning message, but this does not seem to cause any problems.

I still use the Service Startup tab and select the top two options to startup oculus runtime when OTT starts and stop it when it exits. I've always found this handy to avoid problems with going back/forth with my Vive Pro headset. Turning the runtime off you may save a little memory usage.

The OTT 0.87.8.0 setup file is still around if you do a bit of googling. I have a zip file but I don't think I can post this in this forum. It looks like someone is trying to revive OTT so maybe this will be available in the near future.

OTT is still a very handy tool imho, one that I've used for +8 years starting with a Rift cv1 (now retired). Anyway, I hope this helps some current OTT users. Cheers.

Up and Coming

I was working on a Replacement,

https://github.com/DevOculus-Meta-Quest/MetaQuestTrayManager

https://github.com/DevOculus-Meta-Quest/Oculus_Tray_Manager

But I got stressed on the project and never continued to finish it. This was based off the original, which I managed to decompile and and convert to C#, but as I said. I was over it.. There is a chance I might just write a program from scratch that does everything it does but more. but my plate is full right now. Dont really have the time as I am currently working on a IPTV Player thats a commercial product... If I ever get motivated to do one from scratch, I will..
