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

ApollyonVR
Rising Star
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 ApollyonVR@gmail.com

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 ApollyonVR@gmail.com 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!

@ApollyonVR, I have a UI suggestion.  I think it would make more sense to put the "Oculus Tray Tool" options (Start with Windows, Minimized, etc) on the expanded screen, where the Status and Start, Stop, Restart buttons are, and move the Status and Start, Stop, Restart buttons to where the Tool Tray options are on the first screen.  It would eliminate the need to expand the UI every time to start and stop the service.

@agenttoff I have added Start/Stop/Restart to the system tray icon right-click menu, hope that makes it a bit easier to use. Also experimented with movable controls in the UI but it felt overkill somehow... 😃
@e_m_d88 Thank you very much! 😃

New release will be up in a few days with all the fixes plus something extra. 😃

Dumb question on my part, why would one choose to start/stop Oculus service through the tray tool? Is that the same as just closing Home and launching Home?

Thanks again so much for this tool, never had a sensor disconnect again since installing and running at startup. Also added Touch controllers today, so nice to know I don't have to worry about that any longer using my Innatek USB 3 card.

Fantastic little app ApollyonVR! Many thanks.

Just a quick request. How easy would it be to save in the config whether or not you have the additional GUI panels open, and then open it up the next time in the same state?

No, it's a more complete restart than just closing and launching Home. You can do the same from Home by going to the "Beta" tab in settings, but it's a bit more buried than just close/reopen.

@StellaArtois If you mean that you want the windows/panels to remember their location, it will be in the next release. That is already true for the main window, just forgot to add the same for all others. 😃

Why hasn't this thread been made a sticky??? This is a great tool.   And making this a sticky would be a great service for users IMO.

It definitely should be!

One thing it really helps with. Oculus recommends the Innatek PCIe USB 3.0 PCIe card, when the onboard does not pass the system check for Oculus compatibility. Now that was my case, so first things I did was get and install the card when I got the Rift. However, one issue with that card, is the power management feature. Dang thing re-enables it upon every boot. After first getting my Rift, I was pulling my hair out with sensor disconnects. I was so frustrated with my new Rift. Then I saw this thread - installed the app, and presto - never had a single disconnect again!

This would be very helpful for new users especially that do the same as I did.
