Hi guys,
First of all, @DDH69 thank you very much for the great work!!!
I have updated my working system to V8.0.
It actually worked quite well, but I seem to have overlooked a small detail somewhere.
As you can see in the log, DOFLinx starts without errors and the start of PinballFX is also recognized.
However, it seems that the start of a table is not recognized.
Does anyone have an idea what I might have forgotten?
Maybe something in directoutputconfig100.ini?
Here is my log:

I'd be interested to see your DOFLinx.INI file. I helped someone yesterday with the same symptoms. I had them save (rename) their DOFLinx.INI and put in place the one from the \config folder in the DOFLinx.zip, that fixed it for them. Can you try that?

Hi,
now I used your DOFLinx.ini from the config folder, I only modified the necessary parameters:
#### # The config file for DOFLinx Starter MAME and Pinball FX #### # 0 = OFF (normal operation), 1 = ON - When ON a window will appear and a log file will be created in the EXE directory. DEBUG=1 # location of your files and systems COLOUR_FILE=C:\DirectOutput\config\colours.ini DIRECTOUTPUTGLOBAL=C:\DirectOutput\config\GlobalConfig_b2sserver.xml PATH_FX=C:\DirectOutput\FX\ PATH_FX_B2S=C:\DirectOutput\FX_B2S\ PATH_B2S_SERVER=C:\Visual Pinball\Tables\ #PATH_MAME=C:\DirectOutput\FX_B2S\ #PATH_PIXELCADE=C:\Pixelcade\ #PATH_HI2TXT=C:\HI2TXT\ #MAME_FOLDER=C:\MAME\ #PIXELCADE_MENU_HISCORE=1 PINCONTROL2_UNIVERSE=0 PINCONTROL2_BROADCAST=192.168.178.50 DIRECTOUTPUTCONFIG=c:\DirectOutput\config\directoutputconfig100.ini # When to activate, and more specifically what is the MAME process to kick things off PROCESSES=PinballFX-Win64-Shipping #MAME_PROCESS=Mame64

I'm just uploading V8.02 which has a tiny bit more logging, so a new log of the issue from that might help.
I hate to say it, but it really looks like an issue at the PinballFX setup side of things. Given we can all miss something, do you mind post a screen shot of;
1. Your folder containing PinballFX-Win64-Shipping
2. Your DOFLinx setting inside PinballFX from the cabinet setup section

But I promise that is is switched on. I turned it off and on again, but it didn't helps
Sadly I can't send you screenshots
Should I reinstall the whole Steam-stuff?

DOFLinx is checking the DOFLinxSettings.ini file. If you search for that file on the drive with PinballFX installed you can look inside it. I've attached a zipped version of my file. Save your current one first, but you may just be able to edit this. I haven't played around too much with how PinballFX does its settings, but its clearly a PinballFX setup issue.
I wouldn't reinstall yet. I'd go into PinballFX and disable, exit, restart, PinballFX enable, then check that DOFLinxSettings.ini file within the PinballFX folders.

What exactly do you check when you printout this?
"!!!! DOFLinx is not enabled within PinballFX"
To get to this message DOFLinx has found a file called ..\..\Mods\Cabinet\DOFLinxSettings.ini relative to where PinballFX-Win64-Shipping.exe resides. It then scans that file for "IsEnabled=True" , is that is not found the message is displayed.

exactly there is my DOFLinxSetting.ini
I wish I could send you a screenshot, but I'm not allowed to send files, here, don't know why
But I found something strange.
I renamed the ini to let PinballFX create a new one.
DOFLinx recognized that (see log)

Well the file looks fine. The checking in DOFLinx is new, so the fault may be there. For the moment I don't think the answer is down this path.
If you're OK to, try the latest beta. Again, for others reading along, this is not for you.

I tested with your new release, but with no (for me) visible differences:

OK, I've found the bug that is falsely reporting this
01-Mai-24 18:26:59.746 - !!!! DOFLinx is not enabled within PinballFX
Nothing to worry about, simply false reporting, ignore it for now.
The problem remains that there are no messages coming from PinballFX to DOFLinx. The next step is to determine if they are not being sent, or not being received. To do this I've attached a test message sender that I used with Zen when developing the solution. Its a simple console application run from the command prompt that will allow us to see if DOFLinx is receiving messages. To do the test;
1. Create a test folder
2. Unzip the attached into it
3. Run DOFLinx with DEBUG=1
4. Run ConsoleSend.exe
5. Look at the log, you should get 4 lines, the first being "Trigger message received while not connected = G,65"
Feel free to post the log, but if you see 4 messages when you run the utility then DOFLinx is receiving OK. The test can be rerun without any problem.
If you have the screen space to do so, the next step is to start PinballFX, select and start a game, then run ConsoleSend.exe - this is the log that really interests me as I'm 99.99% sure the first one will work OK.

It seems that DOFLinx has a problem with receiving.
I tried it with and without started Pinball FX.
ConsoleSend.exe always responding this:
Send some messages Unable to send OnGameChange message Unable to send OnGameChange message Unable to send OnStatusChange message Unable to send OnEvent message

It looks much better now!
Your messages are now arriving at DOFLinx.
It also works with PinballFX now.
In desperation I tried to see if starting DOFLinx in administrator mode would change anything.
After it didn't work, I unchecked the box again.
And now it works.
However, I have no explanation for this.
I suspect some kind of problem in Windows.
However. Fortunately, it's basically working now :-)
Many thanks for everything!!!
