Cue Club 2 Update #86




Hi Everyone,

Today we're pleased to bring you another update to Cue Club 2 with a collection of new features, improvements and fixes to the game. Once again many thanks for all the valuable support and feedback on the forums and by email. Full details of the update are listed below.


CONTROLS

  • Added a new cue control method. The 'Manual' option has now been divided into Standard mode and Expert mode. Standard mode uses pull-push mouse action to set power, and for swerve shots it is set according to the power-bar at the top of the screen. Expert mode uses pull-push action to set power at all times. As a visual aid, the power-bar dims in brightness when not in use and lights up when active.

    Note: if you are using the 'Button' setting, please reselect this option from the menu after installing the update. See 'Options > Controls > Basic Settings > Cue Control'.
SNOOKER

  • Fixed an issue following a foul where 'foul and a miss' was sometimes incorrectly awarded when full-face contact with the 'on' ball was not possible.

  • If a foul is made on a colour immediately after the last red was potted, and the offending player is asked to play again with balls replaced, it is now possible for them to change the nominated colour if they prefer.
US 8 BALL POOL

  • Fixed an issue after a foul is played when the player has ball in hand behind the headstring, where the next shot after this was still required to cross the headstring before hitting a ball.
US / EURO 8 BALL POOL

  • Fixed an issue where if the 8-ball went down on the break, the AI player could not select an option to either re-spot the 8-ball or restart the game. The fix also applies to multiplayer.
GRAPHICS

  • Various enhancements to trophy designs and small changes to the colour coding of Tournament and Bar Challenge trophies and achievements, over the 5 difficulty settings. The new order is: Novice (yellow), Amateur (green), Intermediate (red), Expert (blue) and Pro (purple).

  • Under-table lighting in snooker made slightly stronger.

  • When running in fullscreen windowed mode, the resolution and refresh rate adjustment options are now fixed to the default desktop setting. If you would like to adjust these values then please set 'Display Mode' to fullscreen. See 'Options > Display > Graphics Settings'.

  • A minor correction has been made to the calculation of the screen aspect ratio when playing the game in a framed desktop window.
GENERAL FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS

  • Added further stability improvements to multiplayer when setting up a new game in the lobby.

  • Other minor fixes and enhancements.
