Hi Everyone,

A small update has been made today with a few fixes and improvements:

• 4 new solid colour ballsets have been added (bringing the total up to 6, and to match the number of patterned ballsets available).
  
• Multiplayer game stability has been improved.
  
• A bug in Slam mode which prevented you from picking up a ball and hurling it around the table, has now been fixed.
  
  Thanks for the continued support guys, also been nice to play a few rounds of pool and snooker with you online :)

Hi Everyone,

Firstly, many thanks for everybody's patience. We've been very busy over the last few months working on the next update and are pleased to say an online multiplayer mode has now been added. It's a free update, so existing owners can log into the Steam console to download it, and new owners will automatically receive it as part of the full game.

To clarify, all the standard offline game modes are still available, so you now have the option to choose from one of the many stylish A.I. opponents, or go head-to-head on the same machine with a friend, or online against other players. Online and offline modes are kept completely separate.

In order to make way for multiplayer, the physics engine did require an overhaul, and so saved shots, breaks, and speed pool times will need to be reset again, since the data format has changed. It was completely unavoidable, and many apologies for this. However, all game progress data has been preserved (trophies, unlocked opponents and membership cards).

To get started, choose 'Multiplayer' from the 'Game Mode' menu and enter the lobby. Here you can chat to other players, select the game type and number of frames, and send and receive game invites. You can also chat to other players in-game. If no players are currently active, then to save you waiting around, select the 'Push Notifications' option before you exit the lobby. Then you can go off to play against the computer, or practice, and the game will tell you when other players have joined. Or you can 'Alt+tab' out, and a bell will ring when someone appears.

If you have friends on Steam with the game then this is ideal, since you can invite them to play. However it's also possible to connect with other players both in and outside of Steam too.

As always, we appreciate your feedback and thanks again for supporting the game!

Multiplayer features:

• Choose from 8-ball (US or European rules), 9-ball or 6-ball pool, Snooker (with 15, 10 or 6 reds) and Killer Pool. Single game, best of 3 or best of 5.
  
• Lobby and in-game chat.
  
• Earn 'Reputation Points' for a win, and improve your ranking.
  
• New trophy to collect, and a new Steam Achievement.

Additional improvements:

• More responsive physics engine allowing for better cue ball control and trick-shots.
  
• Introduction of European/UK 8 ball rules (in addition to American 8 ball), which are fully customisable, with separate ball sets and table design settings for these game types.
  
• Left mouse button now cancels a shot that is being set up.
  
• Visual improvements to main menus and in-game menus.
  
• Visual improvements to pool and snooker tables.
  
• Difficulty of top level AI players has been toned down slightly and is now more realistic.
  
• Various other minor bug fixes and enhancements.

Hi guys, another update has been released today.

- The default settings for 8-ball have changed and the rule about potting yours and your opponent's balls leading to a foul is now turned off by default. With the above rule off, the shooter continues play only if one of their own balls is potted during a turn, unless the '2-shots' rule is selected.

- During a game of 8-ball, if the player scratches on the break, the cue ball can now only be respotted behind the headstring (or inside the D).

- You can now alter the number of games played per match in Quick Game, Bar Challenge and Tournament. See Options->Match Settings.

- Further improvements to main menu and in-game menu graphics.

Please Note: Due to the above changes, you will need to go into Options->Rule Variations to reset your rule preferences for 8-ball, following the installation of this update.

Focus is now switching to completing multiplayer so this might be the last update for a short while. Thanks for your continued support!

Hi everyone. We have a new Cue Club 2 update today with several improvements to the game. The biggest change is the introduction of a new user interface option called 'Classic' which places the controls at the top of the screen, like Cue Club 1. See Options->Graphics menu. It does make setting up shots a little faster, and it is also better suited to non-widescreen monitors. You can still choose to use the existing UI (labelled 'Modern') which, due to the larger buttons, may be better suited to touchscreen devices.



In summary:

- New Classic style user interface option
- Improvements to Polish language text (courtesy of Dominik Tabisz)
- Reduction in size of the mouse pointer to allow more accurate aiming
- A bug that caused Killer Pool to freeze on a re-rack is fixed
- A bug that corrupted the Match Info display after a Killer re-rack is fixed
- It is now possible to adjust spin and cue elevation together when using the 'Manual' cueing method
- Improvements to joypad navigation
- Improvements to the menu UI

Hi everyone. We have a new update today for Cue Club 2 with several key improvements:

- There are now 3 levels of camera zooming (allowing you to zoom out further). See options->graphics menu.
- A bug which caused the game to freeze on Killer Pool has been fixed.
- Another bug that caused the chalk to disappear from the side of the table has been fixed.
- Balls and the head-string are better positioned on the table when using a monitor that is not 16:9 aspect ratio.
- Support has been added for windowed mode. Create a desktop shortcut to run the game, and in the Target field, supply paramaters -w[value] -h[value], where -w is the width of the window in pixels, and -h is the height in pixels. Do not input the brackets. Eg: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Cue Club 2\cueclub2.exe" -w1000 -h600

Hi guys, I'm pleased to say that Cue Club 2 now has gamepad support for up to 2 players. Currently they must be XInput compatible controllers, although Steam controller support is under consideration (please feed back to us on this). Refer to the 'Input Methods' page from the 'Reference' menu for instructions. Also please note that controller support requires Windows 8 or above.

Here is the full update list:

- Gamepad support x 2
- Ability to toggle shot-setup data on/off from 'dynamics' menu
- Drop shadow added to mouse cursor
- Modified input method screen (reference menu)
- Speed Pool clock and Snooker Break info now better positioned
