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.

@Sitruz The overlays cannot currently be moved. If you want something that's made for only Steam (and designed for Vive but probably works fine for Rift) then check out OpenVR Advanced Settings.

@madamluck Are you running it as Administrator? If not then that's probably the cause. Open up the tool by right-clicking the icon in the system tray and selecting "Show Application". At the bottom there's a little round icon that's either green for OK, yellow for Warning or red for Error. Click this icon to expand the log window and in there you should see the reason for the error. Click it again to close the log window.
Cheers!

@ApollyonVR
I just updated from .68 to .70.1. When I launch the new version (whether Administrator or not) I get an error popup that says:
"Windows cannot Access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
Then the OculusTrayTool.exe file gets deleted from the folder. This is after completely deleting the old installation files and settings in appdata/local. Replacing the file, or the whole folder repeats the issue.
EDIT: Never mind! Looks like Avast was quarantining the executable.

@Sitruz Yea, some steam games won't play nice with the oculus service it seems, or not in the way that makes it always work. The reason the global setting works is that it is already applied, it is set when OTT starts, so the steam game will "inherit" that setting. So for a game that seems to not work i would suggest removing the profile for it, then you either change the global setting before starting it, or use voice commands to change it which will do the same thing but you don't have to take of the rift to do it. While in a game (any vr game), you can use voice commands to change SS & ASW, then restart the game and that way test what SS / ASW settings works best, without having to take the rift off.
