Re: Random crashes on startup
Only want to say that since full new installation of 1.1.3 this morning (no updating), I had no CTD anymore when having started the game 4 times so far. Seems to be fine now (longer observation time still needed, of course).

Re: VP4 - cuetip no longer autocentered
This is just to confirm that the described symptom seems to be gone in 1.1.3 indeed.

Re: Random crashes on startup
Thanks, but I just reinstalled the olderversion, and my random startup crashes are gone. The things listed, did not effect me, and if they did, I did not notice it. My security is not Avast, but Avira Internet Security 2012 (payware version), MBAM, Sandboxie and Opera.
Happy again!

Re: VP4 - cuetip no longer autocentered
No, it is "Standard Distance View No Ball ". But in the past I had played around with that - and the other camera settings as well. No symptom with earlier versions. Only the rails sometimes made the cuetip moving upwards, which is physically correct, I would say. I reinstalled the .0.5 ve...

Re: Random crashes on startup
Ah, very good, I will download that tomorrow, its 0230 over here. Those crashes really messed up my perfect Windows reliability index history!

Random crashes on startup
I am unhappy to report that since today the game also no longer reliably starts when clicking the icon, instead produces "the game is no longer functional error" message (translated from the German). This was never an issue before the update. On average I now need three attempts to restart...

Re: VP4 - cuetip no longer autocentered
Just an idea. Could it be that the CO maybe made the last stroke with the English and Draw and Follow settings that the player sees when taking over, and that these last effects used by the CO just get carried over to the player, somehow? Maybe worth to examine.

Re: VP4 - cuetip no longer autocentered
I believe there is a bug introduced with this version. Some people reported left or right English being applied to their shot when a CO was shooting before. Haven't seen it happen to me though. Someone said it was always after a CO Snooker break shot, couldn't confirm that so far. It's probably in ...

Re: VP4 - cuetip no longer autocentered
It is a wanted feature, basically when the cueball is close to rail the game automatically adds some top spin (which is the natural thing to do in real), I believe it's there to save time (as the player would naturally add some top manually in those spots), personally don't like it. It's been discu...

Re: VP4 - cuetip no longer autocentered
Changing the menu setting for camera perspective during CO play has no effect on the symptom.

Re: VP4 - cuetip no longer autocentered
Until today I have not altered camera options for CO playing at all. Never had. But I do that, if only to see whether it makes any difference.

VP4 - cuetip no longer autocentered
After the recent update for VP4, it seems the tip of the cue no longer is automatically centered exactly on the cue ball's centre, but the exact position varies randomly around the ball's center...?! I note there is a slight variation, effectively resulting in some English applied at times. Is this ...

VP3DL: unlocking tables
I played VP3 since over ten years (Jeanette Lee version), now got VP4, and I love it. My mother, 64, loved it too, when seeing it, but since I manage her laptop and since I was not certain whether it would run VP4 (it's a Samsung R509, Vista), I got her VP3DL 3.3.1.1, due to lower graphics specs and...
