CloudPad Beta Release 0.1.54
Updates
- Added 1440p as a resolution option for Game Library (PSCloud) and Game Catalog (PSNow) streaming, alongside 720p and 1080p.
- FSR 1 Upscaling now supports a 1440p stream, upscaling it to 2160p (4K) on supporting displays, matching the existing 720p→1080p and 1080p→1440p upscale tiers.
- Reduced packet loss during streaming: the WiFi lock now requests low-latency mode (Android 10+) instead of high-performance mode, which also disables background WiFi scans during a stream; the network socket now has a dedicated read thread so a slow frame decode can no longer delay draining incoming packets and cause the phone to silently drop them internally; and a warning is now logged if the OS caps the receive buffer below what was requested.
- Translated the new 1440p and FSR messaging into every supported language (German, Spanish, Finnish, French, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Portuguese (Brazil)).
- Fixed a gap where entirely dropped video frames (as opposed to partial frame corruption) weren't counted as packet loss, which could let the streaming server keep raising the bitrate through a real run of dropped frames instead of backing off.
- Fixed Cloud Play (Game Library/Game Catalog) sometimes getting stuck asking you to log in again right after logging in successfully, and never recovering even after reinstalling. The app was generating a brand new random device ID for every single stream launch instead of a stable one for the install, which could make PlayStation's fraud detection treat the account as logging in from a different device each time and start rejecting it — reinstalling couldn't fix this since the rejection lives on PlayStation's servers, not the device. The device ID is now generated once and reused.
- Fixed "Login Required" popping up repeatedly and clearing a perfectly valid login. An ordinary network hiccup or other unrelated error while loading Game Library/Game Catalog could be misread as an expired login (the check was matching overly broad words like "failed" that show up in almost any error message), which wiped the saved login and asked you to sign in again — even though nothing was actually wrong with it. That check is now far more specific to real login failures.
- Added "Open Quick Settings" to the remappable controls in Controller Settings, defaulted to the back button/key and combo-capable like the touchpad mappings. This gives TV users a way to reach the in-stream Quick Settings panel for the first time — previously back on TV only showed a disconnect confirmation and the panel wasn't reachable at all.
- If Game Catalog (PS3/PS4) ever fails to load with "Failed to fetch stores" or a similar error, the message shown now includes the actual underlying cause instead of a generic line, so it can be diagnosed from a screenshot alone. The underlying cause itself isn't fixed by this — this only makes it possible to tell what it is when it happens.
- Fixed the new "Open Quick Settings" remap: pressing whatever it's mapped to now correctly opens the panel on the first press and closes it on the second, for any binding including the back button itself (previously, any binding could either fail to close it again or flash it open and instantly shut, and the back button specifically couldn't even be captured as a binding for it once something else was chosen first).
