Hi guys, we've uploaded a new update today. This one has some nice new additions, including 4 brand new tournament modes and 3 new high snooker break achievements.
New Tournaments, Trophies and Steam Achievements for 6-Ball Pool, Killer Pool, 6-Red Snooker and 10-Red Snooker.
Trophies and Steam Achievements for 75, 100 and 147 breaks in Snooker. These trophies can be earned with aiming lines on or off.
2 new pool pocket finishes (Polished Brass and a Deep Bronze colour).
Gold pocket finish has been made a richer, stronger colour.
Further visual enhancements to pool and snooker tables.
Low, medium and high settings available for 'Smoke Effect' in 3D Bars (Options->Display Settings->In-Game).
Other minor improvements and bug fixes.
[ Edit: A small further update has been added to fix a bug in saved snooker tournaments, to ensure the correct number of reds are racked on the table.]
More updates are on the way soon, thanks again for all your feedback and ideas. :)
Cue Club 2 Update
Hi Everyone, another update has been added today with a few extra fixes and improvements.
2 new pool pocket styles added (Polished Copper and Cobalt Green metallic finishes). Go to Options->Tables to see these in the custom table designer.
Further visual refinements to pool and snooker tables and pockets in overhead view.
The pocket design (angular or rounded) used for 9-ball, 6-ball and Killer now use the same settings as defined for the American pool table.
A bug has been fixed that allowed the gamepad 'A' button to function whilst the AI was playing a shot.
Global leaderboards for snooker breaks and speed pool times now require the secondary guide line to be turned OFF to qualify. This is to try and offer a fairer playing field to players who prefer not to use aiming lines.
Snooker 'Free Ball' rule has been made more robust when the cue ball has been potted and needs to be re-spotted in the D.
In-game infobox at the bottom of the screen now shows number of points remaining on the table in snooker.
Various other improvements and optimisations
An attempt has been made to restore the snooker breaks leaderboard to how it was before aiming lines were added, although this may be incomplete. Please let us know if you would like to reset your own individual score. Thanks.
Cue Club 2 Update
Hi guys. Today we've uploaded another update with a few extra features and improvements to the game. Thanks again for your support and ideas and as always welcome your feedback. :)
<*> More comprehensive controls added to audio menus (in game and main menu), with finer tuning of lower, mid and high volume levels, plus forwards and backwards track skipping, and track names added too.
<*> Minor graphical enhancements to tables.
<*> Improved refresh rate syncing with 75Hz (and faster) displays.
Cue Club 2 Update
Hi everyone. There's another new update today, which includes the fine-tuning of the aiming lines, following some useful feedback we've had. You can still turn these on or off, although the length of the lines is now set for each view (2D and 3D), and they've been made a little shorter, in an attempt to correctly balance the level of difficulty.
There are some other improvements and fixes too.
Aiming lines fine-tuned for 2D and 3D modes
Fullscreen and FullScreen (Windowed) mode has been added (Options->Display Settings->DirectX). Fullscreen Windowed mode (default setting) will allow you to ALT+TAB in and out of the game. Pure Fullscreen does not support ALT+TAB, but is faster, and offers further compatibility options with different video card configurations and displays.
Improved renderings of pool and snooker pockets in overhead view
Improved rendering of balls in overhead view
Audio menus give more control over volume settings
The size of the in-game control panel has been slightly reduced
Table shadows have been further refined
A bug which caused the game to stall on occasions after pausing has been fixed
A bug which increased the score after a replay has been fixed
Other minor fixes and enhancements
[Edit: A bug that allowed the power to be changed by mouse wheel during replays and the AI opponent's turn, has been fixed since the last update]
Cue Club 2 Update
Hi guys, we have another new update today.
A key change has been the addition of further aiming lines, which can be turned on or off.
Option to use additional aiming lines (Options->Dynamics menu)
Option to toggle mouse wheel between setting camera angle and cue power (Options->Dynamics menu)
DirectX graphics settings for Anti-aliasing and frame rate V-Sync (Options->Display Settings->DirectX)
+/- key mapping to fine tune cue power
The ability of AI players to play off the cushion to get out of snookers has been slightly reduced and made more realistic
A bug that occasionally caused balls to escape off the table has been fixed
Other minor bug fixes
After applying the update you will need to go into the 'Options->Dynamics->Guiding Lines' menu and hit the Reset Button, to restore the aiming lines to the default setting. From here you can customise them to suit. Please note: only the basic (primary) cue line can be used in multiplayer mode.
