Oculus TrayTool - SuperSampling profiles, HMD disconnect fixes (hopefully)

[ApollyonVR]

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!

HI there, nice tool!

I am having a small problem that OTT can't find the \manifests folder.  I am 99% sure I know why but wanted to share so you can confirm / fix.

All my games and related software like Steam and Oculus are installed in c:\Games.  However his is NOT a folder but an NTFS mount point to a separate drive.

So the manifests are in c:\games\Oculus\Manifests

The OTT give the message "Could not find a part of the path c:\Oculus\Manifests"

I am going to assume that they way you have created the software is ignoring the \Games 'folder' because it's not really one.. but wanted to highlight this for you in case you can resolve it.

Thanks again

I am also getting the same manifests error but error path is 'C:\Manifests'

My oculus is installed on C and library's on C too

@HoiHman I am looking at that issue, hoping to have it fixed in next release.

Thanks for looking into issues. I was trying to install Oculus Tray Tools for the first time... however I'm having the same issue as many others. It gives me an error for C:Manifests 

I have Oculus installed on C:    & all my games on another drive ... F:

I uninstalled Oculus Tray Tools - then re-installed it in F: drive.

 It works fine!

Yay... This worked for me too. Ran and Installed it to my H:\ drive where my Oculus library is and no more Manifest error.

I was was initially running the installer from my 😧 drive ( My apps drive where I store  all my apps)  to install to C:\ but my Oculus library is on H:\

Just freezes when I press the "profiles" button now 😞

Is it just me where any profile settings don't stay saved after a reboot? Whatever I setup, I have to do it every time, which kind of defeats the purpose, right?

Edit: ooops never hit update, so that's why.
I guess I don't really notice SS that much, as apparently I haven't ever had it before now.

Love the tool. Hate the .80.1 update. Hopefully .70.1 will work for the foreseeable future.
Problems with .80 - User interface is more confusing and more poorly laid out.
Games are auto-detected incorrectly EliteDangerous is detected as OMID.exe which doesn't exist. Adding the SteamVR icon in .80 is so confusing I never could figure it out.
Didn't see any real functionality added in .80. Just messed up the UI.

Side note: it would be nice to adjust supersampling with a decimal number rather than a picklist. I set E:D to 1.25 SS, workaround by manually editing tray tool xml file.

Thanks for a nice tool, I sent you beer money.

Apollyonvr, where are you? Longest time between updates. As rdolivaw said 80 version is confusing and older version (70) was fine. If you are having difficulties suggest going back to basics maybe.Not a criticism of you as I also think you are a genius just an observation.

Hi all!
Been traveling for a bit and didn't want to release the new version without being able to monitor it. Releasing it now 😃
