Recently I've been gettting a lot of games when I break and the balls are coming to a halt then 2 or 3 of them suddenly change their mind and take off at full pace again!

Anyone else had this or any ideas whats causing it or how to stop it?

Cheers

Lag maybe, however this has happened to me quite alot of times I dont see it as a problem really.

Might be your java.

But nicks the expert!

It's merely a glitch.

There was one on the old version where the balls would overlap and fly around the table, only coming to a halt when they hit something else.

I think I've got a GB like that

Agreed with most everyone. It's really a non-issue. I would guess it's down to 15 balls all moving at once?

Yep, it's a rare glitch. And it's unfortunately still here, I've seen overlapping balls as recently as couple last week, same goes for over-accelerated balls on the break.

doesnt happen that much...

you must be very unlucky if it happens that many times in one night.

Seen it about 5 times total over the last couple years, so the frequency isn't THAT high

What bigmerv is referring to must be something else.

this is called the "rocket" once 2 balls rolls next to each other at exactly the same speed, the balls fly across table

Maybe it occurs more on different computers.

Nope this is the game. Most of the time it happens on the break. Only ever seen it once over here but more often it happens on snooker. I know nick is working on this glitch.

It usually happens on the break, because the balls are all so packed together, to cause balls hitting other balls.

well at least i'm not the only one experiencing it! i've had it over at snooker as well but on both sites its only been when breakin for me.

think its actually quite funny when it happens anyway, one i need to somehow learn to do for in the pub sometime . . .
