Random crashes on startup

[Skybird]

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, but I also have it starting immediately - or after the 5th attempt.

The off-centre position of the cuetip when taking over fro m the CO, is one thing. This issue now is a very different - and a major one.

Not happy anymore. Give me back the version before the recent update.

There will be an update shortly that hopefully fixes the issues.
In the meantime it may be better if you go back to the previous version:

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

There's a public beta test for 4112, that addresses crashes occuring with 4111.

The test is a full version and requires and uninstall/reinstall of VP4.
There is no guarantee it will work but if 4111 is unplayable for you, you may want to give it a try.

This is what is fixed:

Crash for Quick Play
Crash for Avast AV
Shooting with mouse button
Delay in auto-zoom
Auto aim snooker phase 2

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!

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).
