Chalet[]
A living room in a house in the alps.
Arena[]
A tournament-like arena, minus any crowd.
Graphics Quality[]
Graphic settings with icon highlighted
Options for graphics quality can be chosen from the graphic settings menu, either as presets or customised.
Graphics quality settings and spectator view
In a custom profile, render scale and anti-aliasing can be customised. Many players are less concerned with graphics quality as they are by any potential for performance impact, as the game at lowest quality settings is easily clear enough for gameplay purposes.
Spectator view[]
On PCVR headsets and Oculus Quest while tethered, the desktop window can display either a first person view of what the player sees or a 3rd person spectator view from a fixed point and direction. This is the most popular source of video for streaming, youtube videos etc., but it does involve an additional view needs to be rendered and may involve a performance drop.
You can control the direction of view by holding down left mouse button and dragging, and keyboard q/e correspond to motion down and up, w/s to forward and backwards, a/d to left and right. Spacebar cycles between preset positions.
Colour customisation[]
Located in Graphics Settings, the table and ball's colour can be changed and saved as presets. A popular combination is a dark or black table to best contrast an extremely visible bright green ball.
Players' appearance[]
By default, your "mask" is your headset, however various custom masks can be used.
AI appearance[]
The AI appearance is the same as your oculus avatar or a preset avatar in steam, wearing whichever headset you are using.
Miscellaneous[]
Table settings related to appearance,
Two cosmetic over-the-table options can be chosen:
- To have a service indicator pointing to the player who is due to serve, and
- To display the current score on the table when a point is not active.
In addition, "show void point" allows you the option of seeing when a point is cancelled because a ball toss did not result in a bat/ball collision.
