Here are some more details on the 1.3 patch from the changelog:
* Advanced Targeting System
o
Different types of target are now weighted so you can more easily target the things you want to interact with (such as games or screens).
o The system now takes much greater account of what the camera is looking at when deciding what you are trying to target.
o If you are having trouble targeting something you can more easily re-target to it using left and right on the d-pad or left stick.
* Pool Improvements
o When lining up a shot you can now raise or lower the cue by moving up or down on the left stick.
o You can also put spin on the cue ball by pressing [CIRCLE] when lining up a shot and then moving the striking position around with the left stick.
+ Strike lower on the cue ball for back spin, higher for top spin and to the left or right for side spin.
* Queuing
o
You can now queue up to play any occupied game that supports queuing.
+ You can only queue for one game at a time. If you join the queue for another game you will leave your current queue.
+ When the game becomes free people waiting to play will be given the chance to play in the order they queued. If you miss your turn to join the game or leave the instance, you will be removed from the queue.
+ While queuing for one game, you can still play other games in the space if they are available.
+ You can check which game you are queued for and your position in the queue under the Queues section of the Menu Pad. You can also choose to leave the queue from here as well.
* Miscellaneous Improvements
o There is a new background image on the front end.
o We have improved when and how we check for items that you own.
As a result the speed with which you log in to Home or move between stores has been improved.
o
Relocation between areas is quicker.
o The collision on bowling pins has been improved.
o The menu available in the Menu Pad has been rearranged to make options easier to find. In particular the Settings menu has been broken into several categories to accommodate all of the new options.
o There are two new options in the Menu Pad for changing how Home is displayed on your television.
+ Screen size and position can be changed under Settings > Adjust Screen Position and Size.
+ The brightness of the screen can be changed under Settings > Adjust Gamma.
o The leader of a club may now blacklist people from being able to join their club, via the admin menu. Anyone who is blacklisted and attempts to join the club will see a message explaining that they cannot join and why.
