A.I. shoots for you while in multiplayer..
Well the title is a bit misleading but let me explain why....

Yesterday, Milly asked me a question if I have seen anything strange or out of the ordinary, I believe he even asked me if I have seen anything close to the game playing for you ( I answered no) i have many many hrs on this game, so im pretty convinced i would have seen such a bug..the only time i have ever seen such a thing was when you create a lobby and while in 'replay' mode, someone joins.. you get the AI bug...

Well as soon as i entered (Beta) i played boxofTricks, well today i joined multiplayer and a few times it seemed as tho the game was shooting for me, next shot same thing i couldnt shoot, but the stick would just "Shoot thecue" anyways... then i noticed its not the A.I. doing this... it is somehow locking down the 'Left click key'.. so when you move your mouse.. it shoots,
I don't know if this was the issue at hand to be reported or not.... but this is what it seems to be doing.. also.. this never happened before the (Beta)..

================================

Hypothosis,
I have a Logitech performance MX mouse, within this software it comes with its own drivers and software, the software allows you to keybind your buttons on your mouse.....

one of the features it has "by default' is an Application switcher, its almost like the "tab" feature in most browers where the screen "Swaps out" to another screen....
while in pool nation if you accedently hit this key, in my situation its my (thumb key on my mouse), the screen switches like it supposed too, you switch back everything looks normal, but the "Left Click button" on the mouse seems to be "stuck"? it does not respond, but the mouse Arrow is fully responsive, ...

At this time and if you are not aware that this happened it may just apear to you as if the "A.I" is taking the shot" for you, while it's your turn because it was caused by just moving your mouse. and the game "thinking" your in "Shoot action mode" by holding left click.

just my report would be, this only happened to me in the beta copy, i have hit that app switcher in the other copy before, and always had full control of the mouse afterwards.

maybe something in this build? don't know.

I will tell you why i think this might be the problem, while this bug is happening, if you move the mouse in "any direction" without holding a button or key, the power bar grows, this is why i think it has to do with it being "confusing to others" thinking it was A.I doing this.

while its your turn, just by moving the mouse you get a "power bar that you see growing" and while your observing your sreen and saying to yourself (what the heck?) the mouse your moving you accedently move forward and it "taks a shot" and at that moment, you don't know why.

this could get confusing to others thinking this is A.I.

I will remove the bind that came 'default with the mouse' and see if it happens again, if it does then this post was a waiste of time LOL

There is a compatibility issue between the two builds - the beta build and the build thats on Steam. You are best not playing online matches with the beta build unitl fixed.
