Cue Club 2 Update #68

Hi Everyone,

We're pleased to release another new update today before Christmas with more fine tuning to graphics, cameras, gameplay and audio. We hope you enjoy the latest revisions and as always please keep us informed with your feedback.

• The number of settings for the first-person camera distance behind the cue ball has been increased from 3 to 5. See 'Options > Display Settings > Cameras > Distance to Ball (3D)'. This gives you more control to fine-tune your playing position, allowing you to get up close to the cue ball or further back along the cue.
  
  
• Improved anti-aliasing on cues in 3D mode, giving a smoother, more realistic rendering effect.
  
  
• The timing of audience applause has been improved when playing in Theatre venues, and spectators respond more quickly to a good shot being played.
  
  
• Metallic pool pocket enclosures have been given more detailing in 3D mode, and diamonds around the edge of the table have more clarity.
  
  
• Pressing the Right Thumb-stick on a game controller now resets the horizontal camera angle back to centre position, and left-right axis sensitivity has been slightly reduced to prevent accidental sideways movement when adjusting vertical camera angle.
  
  
• We have noticed that larger tables are becoming more popular, and so the default size is now 7ft for pool and 9ft for snooker. However, you can still select the smaller 6ft pool table and 8ft snooker table if you prefer. Bigger versions are also available, including 8, 9 and 10ft pool tables, and 10, 11 and full-size 12ft snooker tables.
  
  
• The default camera view is now 3D first-person. If needed, this can be changed by going to 'Options > Display Settings > Cameras > Default Camera'. As before you can use spacebar to quickly change cameras in-game, or on a game controller press the 'View' button.
  
  
• New smaller mouse pointer option added, to give finer control when playing on larger tables. There are now 5 sizes to choose from, and you can also customise the colour of the pointer too (3 settings: white, red and blue). Go to 'Options > Display Settings > Pointer'.
  
  
• Fixed an issue when loading saved games, where the notifications capsule would sometimes display the message 'Open Table' when ball groups had already been assigned.
  
  
• Fixed an issue in Detonator mode, where balls were occasionally occluded in 3D mode.
  
  
• Other minor fixes and enhancements.
