> - **New** : Cloud Profiles (phase 1):
> - Users automatically receive cloud profiles, for their current games, based on their Pimax HMD headset and GPU model (where a cloud profile is available).
> - Users can choose whether to use a cloud profile, local game profile, steam vr profile, or no profile at all, when launching a game.
> - Users can choose one of the provided modes for cloud profiles: default, performance, max quality.
> - Users can choose to have cloud profiles enabled/disabled via settings screen (enabled by default).
> - Users cannot create or upload cloud profiles from within the app yet. This feature will be implemented in a future phase.
> - Users cannot vote on existing cloud profiles from within the app yet. This feature will be implemented in a future phase.
> 
> - **New** : Auto updates:
> - Display a notification in dashboard, when there is a new app update avialable.
> - User can choose to download the new update from within the app dashboard.
> - User can choose to install the downloaded update from within the app dashboard.
> - Where UAC is present on user’s Windows machine, the user must take the headset off and accept to run the new update.
> - The update will run silently, install the new version and restart the app.
> - When the app runs and detects a new install, it may restart itself one more time, where necessary.
> - The app update does not include any PiTool updates.
>

> - **Fix** : When PiTool Service is not running, the app might crash on startup.
> - **Fix** : Invalid config files generated/updated by PiTool could halt the app from displaying all games properly.
> - **Fix** : Game thumbnails in dashboard are not displayed on app startup, until PiTool is restarted.
