I think you\’re already on my friends list anyway, but the time difference makes it difficult to hook up a game :(

I\’ve got some news from the programming team regarding online problems:

\”This is most likely to be a router/firewall configuration problem. If
SPI mode is enabled on the router then you will be able to communicate
with the PSN servers for matchmaking, but it will prevent you from
establishing a peer to peer connection with your opponents. Making sure
that all parties have this setting disables might help with this
problem. Some routers may call this mode something like \’strict NAT\’
instead of SPI.\”

Custom music is on the way, as for Endurance Mode, the secret is to build your multiplier with an unbroken potting streak, watch the new tutorials videos for more information:

Umm let me think…

1. Bank Shot (object ball bounce of cushion and goes in pocket)

2. Kick Shot (Cue ball bounces off cushion and hits object ball into pocket)

3. Combo (chain 2 or more object balls together and sink the last in the chain)

4. Multiball (sink 2 or more balls in one shot)

5. Jumpshot (jump the Cueball over 1 or more objects balls and sink a ball)

Yep… you\’re right. It\’s 5! To get thr trophies some of the shots require you to pull off a certain score while doing the skill shot (except jump shot), and Ultimate Skill Shot requires an even higher score using any skill shot.

Rob did you leave us? I find it difficult to find an online match…I know people must have this game….i try Quick and Custom and it takes forever if we even get anyone…A lobby would be nice….Custom music would be great or at least some music…..The BEST thing about this game is how myself, my wife, and my daughter can all log in our PSN accounts and play…Finding our 4th seems to be a struggle though…Feel free to add me as friend if you play Inferno Online….5 Minute Endurance is tough, All skill shots we will get…Last 2 trophies we need…Love this game!

I do not know if this has been addressed but, It seems as though I am having a bit of difficulty when I quit this game.

It will act as if it is going back to the XMB and the screen will remain black, then my PS3 gives out two beeps and locks my PS3 to where I have to hold the power button down to restart my PS3.

Hey Rob….A couple questions…1. How many skill shots are there?…The video makes it look like 6, help menu shows 4 , I think 5?…Does this have to be done online?…2000 point didn’t…..

Rob, still having problems with online – sometimes it takes a while to find a match, but the big problem is crashing my PS3 completely, requiring a power-off restart (and once it even de-registered my controller).

It happens when in the lobby setting up a match – as soon as I hit the Ready X button, everything stops and freezes solid – the other player reports being stuck in the lobby waiting for me to get ready. Always happens in just this manner.

I usually play ranked 9-ball quick matches; it’s happened sometimes twice in a row and about 1 time out of every 10-15 matches. Have similar reports from a couple of other players I’ve been matched with.
