I set up my doflinx for fx3. Only devices that work on my tables are flipper solenoids. Nothing else works except some of the led buttons that are lit. I was looking at my individual fx3 tables on dof config site and basically only commands were for mx Leds. no bumpers, slingshots, no shaker, no strobe. Wondering if anyone else has other devices firing with their tables other than MXLeds and flippers. So I can't tell if it set up properly. The error log doesn't have any errors.

Sounds like DOFLinx is working in "fallback" mode.  Is this a Steam version of FX3, because that is what it works with.

 

The DOF ROMs only control the addressable LED lighting, all other toys are controlled directly.

 

If you are running the Steam version of FX3 and are still stuck post more information, ie your DOFLinx.INI that you've setup and a DOFLinx.LOG file while DEBUG=2 during a play period where you have the issues.

[jaharr0123]

so put 2 instead of in the script for debug instead of 1 ? I'll post my ini file tomorrow. I have looked at the script over and and compared and can't find any errors. The only thing I can think of is I have device numbers wrong.

You have a version of DOFLinx that was released before the version of Pinball FX3 that you are now running.  From your log

DOFLinx has then reverted to its fallback mode of running what it can, flippers only.

 

While we're still working on PinballFX you should be fine grabbing the current version from the download area.
