Re: Snooker Championship settings

Actually, the situation you described is very much possible in VP4, and that's exactly the pocket looseness problem I was referring to. If this forum has file attachment option I'd attach some save games for you to see, where the ball hits a rail first and then still goes into the pocket, which is w...

Re: Snooker Championship settings

Hugh I did most of the VP4 Snooker testing - physics, game rules, pocket tightness, table speed, pocket cuts, etc' - corner pockets are actually too forgiving and we have photographic evidence of that in the bug tracker in the form of re-playable save games. According to Steve this cannot be fixed d...

Re: Virtual Pool Mobile for Android smartphones

I see market description has been updated. Too bad Snooker is not one of the available games :please: Until it's added - count me out on this one.

Re: Windows 7 support for VP3

Dual booting via a second partition on your HDD will not duplicate anything on your current W7 installation. You'll just get two versions to choose from (as long as boot.ini is updated) on booting the machine. But I FULLY understand your caution if you've not done this before - creating partitions ...

Re: Windows 7 support for VP3

I appreciate the advise. I'm in no position to screw around with my system by installing another copy of Winblows on the same hard drive, which would modify boot record, duplicate system and documents folders, create extra user profiles etc'. Right now this is my primary and only computer and it has...

Latest Windows operating system, supported for VP3 by Celeris is Windows XP. Windows XP was released in February 2002 and we're in the second half of 2010 - are we ser...

Re: Windows 7 support for VP3

1. Ask them to export the "Application" and "System" log from their Windows Event Viewer and send it to you. Very likely one of these 2 or both will have application or service or isolated dll which is failing. 2. Create and send them debug build - executable of vp3.exe only, whi...

Because Win7 handles the video completely differently than W...

Re: Virtual Pool Mobile for Android smartphones

Camera - not sure exactly where the cutoff is but with phone optics my guess is once you get past about 5 or 6MP does not matter, can't tell the difference. On point and shoot cameras the cutoff is in the 8-10MP range depending on the optics. I can tether my iPhone to my laptop and connect to the i...

Re: Virtual Pool Mobile for Android smartphones

VPM for Android is not in the making at the moment. Google made a poor decision in going with Java and Web apps as that is not very good for games.

Re: Windows 7 support for VP3

We probably will give it a try, not sure how soon. Sounds like a graphics driver issue though NVidia is usually pretty good. The current VP3DL uses a very old version of D3D so that could cause some issues. Multi-monitor can also cause issues though it should not unless perhaps the multt-monitor mo...

Windows 7 support for VP3

Did a quick search - seems like no one has brought this up so far. Given the fact, Windows 7 was already released to hardware & software manufacturers and MSDN subscribers on August 3rd, and the release date for the rest of end users is October 22nd - I think it's about time to pop the question....
