trouble with doflinx and pinballx

[Benoit33]

 

 

 

Hi all,

If I use DOF linx with pinballX it launches VPX but not the table. If I remove the three directoutput files in the "plugin" folder (.dll, .Lnk, .xml) no worries it launches the table.

Please attach copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files when reporting an error.

Also, please note what version and release candidate of VPX you are using and if the error is occurring with one or more tables.

Thanks.

pinballx 6.00 et 6.57 same issues with all tables

Technicly the DirectOutput plugin is just 1 file. The dll no lnk or xml is needed.

Did you get the issue after  updating DOFlinx ? 

In the download section there is a newer version of the DirectOutput plugin. Which have some improvements. 

Try to remove your doflinx during pinballx start and check if that helps.

I have an issue with DOF plugin when I launch doflinx during load. I found it was a timing issue, so what I do is launching doflinx before pinballx is started, I wait 3 seconds and launch pinballx

The following is part of my startup. This is not the script assigned in pinballx, but this is launched before I launch pinballx.exe

What did you try ?

Disabling doflinx ? Or updating directoutput plugin or delay of doflinx ? 

If you say table doesn't load, what do you see happening ? As the logfile you posted, launch visual pinball and also fx3

Regardless of whether or not the issue is occurring with Pinball FX3 in addition to VPx, the point is that we have seen some issues with specific VPX versions and release candidates.

It is recommended that users indicate which versions of applications when reporting issues to assist the community in proper identification and triage.

Thank you.

with the 5.47 version 32bits no problem...

[Mike_da_Spike]

How about latest 32bit version ?

Your log file is from a 64 bit version.. it could make a lot of difference.
