Lol he obv didnt do on purpose.

People having a problem with power can you try http://www.poolgame.co.uk/uspooldemo/10

The old system did have a number of problems, but I will put an option to flick between live and possibly the above demo (if it fixes the problem for people).

Is the main problem struggling to get sufficient power?

Its fine for me at the minute, however i tried out the demo you just linked. For me it goes back to being way too powerful again.

That is the main problem for a few people i have spoke to, struggling to get power.

I take it this demo would be optional somehow if it did fix it for them? I think thats what you mean in your above post.

Nick, I'm never one to complain about this sorta thing, but I feel I have to this time. I'm having terrible trouble with shot power and lag at the moment, and I've never had this sorta problem. Just been talking to a good few other players about it, all of whom are top players and would know when something is up with the shot power, and they all completely agreed that something was bothering with the shot power. I think the power is far too sensitive - I played a shot with top spin into the top right pocket, and it flew into the bottom middle, and I didn't even hit it that hard :S ...then I thought it might just be an issue with spin but a similar thing happened when i played a shot without spin. It's pretty unfortunate for many people at the moment

the option would be good

Nick at the moment, my game is fine. Demo 10 is super fast. i can not hit a soft shot. and when i do its 1 out of 10.

OK, I've reverted back to the old way as I'm no longer confident I can get the new power reading to work correctly across all machines.

The old system is now in place, but you have an option to enable alternate cue control.

Thanks for your patience while I tried to get this working.

Woooo, works great now nick, thanks!

well i can still shoot so thats a good thing.

However on my screen the balls have gone back to being really jumpy, look like they are slowing then speed up then stop really sudden.

But the power seems ok, which it should as we have reverted back to the original.

For me how it was yesterday was perfect but i understand why its been changed again, with a couple of people still having problems.

You have the option now MMT, you can chose between the old or the new, you have alternate cue control in options now.

I love the way in the demos, it's obviously not gonna connect to the funkypool server as it's only a demo..

But it always blames our internet connection for not being able to connect lmao

Thats a great addition
Everythings fine for me now

Cheers nick well done

never mind.

Really? I never noticed that lmao
cheers mate

*switches*

The animation code hasn't changed today, so I'm not sure why you'd see such a difference. Let me know if you still have a problem after your next system restart.

hmm....my connection has been poor the last couple of days, my chat is constantly lagging. Need a better router!

When i log in im gonna switch to how it was yesterday anyway cos that was the best i remember it being ever for me.
