Only being able to practice in the F2P Lite version was a bug — Pool Nation FX Lite News

We have been notified of the ability to ONLY practice in the FREE version, this should not be the case, however to those of you who downloaded Pool Nation FX on or after the 14th December this is all you would have access to - THIS IS A BUG AND IS NOW FIXED.

We apologise greatly for the confusion here, and can confirm this is now fixed. However if you ever experience such situation again please do get in touch.

To help improve the online experience we have made a number of updates in this patch including the ability for F2P gamers to join all available matches in the pool hall* - this should provide much more variety and a better experience all-round. *For a limited time only

Also in the patch are the following updates:

LITE players can now JOIN any online game type of Full Game user
*Available on a trial basis for a limited time only
*The create match ability stays as was for lite users, you cannot create a match using locked content, this should provide 'full gamer' users more match opportunities and a better online experience all round
Fixed issue with cue distance being set for host instead of client
New 'Screen percentage' graphics option that reduces in game resolution while keeping UI resolution the same.
Fixed issue with shots being skipped when you select 'Resume' on pause menu

Fixed issue with 'not in the correct league' message box showing incorrect info
Fixed issue with cash not being awarded correctly when levelling up
New camera option to view AI shots in free cam mode
Fix issue with clients losing cash after restarting the game from online matches
Play for Cash matches now play in the user's currently set location, not the Pool Hall every time
New pop up screens to help in navigation the menus and online
A key in the online menu for ease of use
New default US 8Ball rule to match official WPA rules (can pot opponents ball if you have hit a legal ball first)
Settings are now accessible from the practice game
Improved the Manual camera to make it smoother

Fix for game modes not being unlocked for some new users

Thank you again for your feedback and support and for helping us get to the bottom of this 'Practice Only' bug.

*Additions to the game in our updates do not have to be a permanent decision, if you as a communiy feel an addition/update doesn't work to provide a better online experience for all we will look at changing/amending it based on community feedback
