Am I imagining things or am I just being extremely forgetful but is the old green gone now? There was a dark and a light green. Is the old dark green gone?

The textured tables (ie the ones with light) have all been swapped. The initial tables were supposed to be very similar, but the arcade version is currently a bit too light. I can make it a bit darker.

Im not overly excited about the tables with lights. They are too bright and hurt my eyes when I play in the dark

I dont know about the arcade table the only table i was on was the regular table and the colours just seemed different than previously, whether by design or accident. I wasnt really 100% sure though had I just forgotten what the colours were previously because the tone is fairly simple yet different

Sorry but I absolutely hate the new tables.. Can't play well at all on them. I'm literally having nightmare games..

Earlier I even missed the most basic of browns, it was right next to the pocket! I could pot it with my eyes closed usually!

The colour of the cloth is blinding.

Following feedback from here and pool there's demand for "flat" tables (without light) - so I'm looking at a way to add this in a next phase, and if so, for snooker I will use these instead of the old tables.


Is this what you mean Jack?

Yeh it's the bright light that's blasting onto the table, it's really off putting.

I gotta say though I do like the new carom table.

I have to agree, they are all (even the 'larger' tables, and powersnooker) are all just far too bright in the middle of the table, the old styles were much more subtle and a nicer effect, IMHO)... No real world table has a 500W centre lamp ;)

These new ones are not very usable, and headache inducing, for me anyway!

Please bring the old styles back, even if just an option!

Snooker deserves a well colored table....full green !

the 1st green just needs to be darker and the light needs toning down a bit, its all it needs

Argh :/ how to ruin something great with a simple, but awful, change :(

The new ones seem to induce eye strain and headaches far too quickly and I can't see any benefit to them.

If we must have the new ones, even if they are eventually toned down, please bring back the old ones as an option

It seems the budgies may have some allergy to the new table, but as said above -

Its just confined to the arcade table. Its the regular table aswell.

The original table is more subtle with the lights.

The crux of the problem (for me aswell as the budgies) is that its completely changed how we view/line up a shot. Everybody has table colour preferences and I have had discussions with players in the past who cannot play near as well on different colour tables than they are used to.

Give the option to have the old dark green

Did you purposely mean to make the pockets tighter Nick?

The lighting has been adjusted now (subtle like before), and the colours are pretty much identical as before, as was intended.

(They should have been that way before but for some reason they came out much too light.)

Note all tables are fully created now, even the flat one, so this means the game loads even faster, and there is no delay to download new tables as you cycle between them.

In addition the "rocket ball" bug should be resolved.

It looks like you have made the spots and baulk line / D lighter too.... it's much kinder on the eyes with the old colours though
