OK, here we go. I have a problem with DOF and I cannot figure out how to fix it.

The problem is I cannot get DOF to work on about a third of the Original Tables I have installed.

I am currently running:

Visual Pinball: 10.8 rev 2015 (6163503) 64 bit

Vpinmame: 3.5 ver 1.42

B2S: v2.1.3.327

DOF: v3.0

FlexDMD: v1.9.1.0

 

I will list the tables and maybe someone can narrow down the problem.

 

Original Tables that work with DOF.

Blood Machines,  Diablo,  GOTGalaxy,  Halloween 1978-1981,  Happy Potter,  IT,  Jaws,  Deadpool,  Minions,  Predator,  Rambo,  Red Sonja, SOAnarchy,  Southpark, Speed Racer,  The Goonies,  Terminator Salvation,  The Magnificent Seven,  TNA,  Tron Legacy,  Wizard Of OZ.

 

Original Tables not working with DOF:

Hip Hop,  John Wick, Jumanji,  Need For Speed,  Pirates Life,  Resident Evil,  Streets Of Rage,  Swamp Thing,  Terminator 1,  The Exorcist.

One other table also has no DOF. Terminator 2 G5K v1.25, however version 1.1d is working with DOF.

Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated

[brarnienim00]

Hmmm. Nothing. No suggestions. Damn.

[fhjui]

I had read your thread but don't have the one solution to fix that. But...

whats this DOF 3.0 version? That's not the correct one. You have to install the recent R3++ version 3.2 from mjr. The recent version has a combined installation of 32bit and 64bit component. No more frickeling to configure the 64bit part.

OK. Thanks. I'll check out later after work

[brarnienim00]

So i downloaded the 32 and 64 20250329 files,

Neither of them will install. Tried all types of directory paths.

I obviously have something wrong with my setup. this is the error I'm receiving

FEATURE TRYING TO USE ON NETWORK RESOURCE IS UNAVAILABLE.

ENTER AN ALTERNATE PATHT TO FOLDER CONTAINING THE INSTALLATION PACKAGE DOF INSTALL FILE - DIRECT OUTPUT RELEASE 20240901

 

My Directoutput directory is straight under C:

[fhjui]

Hmm, a bit of a challenge.

I suspect you previously installed DOF from a network drive.

My tip: never install software from a network drive; it's better to copy the installation files to a separate directory on C:\ (e.g., C:\Software), so nothing can get lost.

The Windows installer saves this source directory, and if it's no longer there, or if the file has been moved or deleted, errors like this one can occur.

Many MSI packages—if the programmer has provided it—offer the option to "repair" the software, uninstall it, or add or remove features. The MSI file is still required for this.

But to isolate the error, I would suggest to run the DOF installation of one of the packages with logging parameters.

• Open the command prompt with "Win+R", type cmd, press enter
• assuming the psi package is in your download dir. ,then run the MSI package manually: msiexec /i "DirectOutput-mjr-x64-release-20241105.msi" /L*V "DOF64.log"
  here as an example for the 64bit version.
• Then post the log file here, and we'll take a look.

[brarnienim00]

Ok. As soon as I read your answer it struck me. I partitioned my drive and stored backup files on it.

I found the file it was looking for, pointed to that file when it asked, and it seems to have installed with no errors.

I will now try the no dof tables and see if they are now working.

Will let you know.

OH. AND THANKS so much.

I'd shout you a beer if you were in Australia.

[fhjui]

there must be something wrong with the parameters you have entered.

check the parameter, there is no space between  /L*V, the "i" paramter is necessary because windows installer must know what to do with the package.

Would suggest to copy the msi file into a new directory, create a batch file with this command, add pause at the end, run cmd and run this batch file.

example for 64bit version:

msiexec /i "DirectOutput-mjr-x64-release-20250329.msi" /L*V "DOF64.log"
pause

 

I have tested exactly the command from above, works flawless.

But please use the recent DOF version from mjr, DirectOutput-mjr-x64-release-20250329.msi. The version I mentioned above is beta.

[brarnienim00]

I copied the 20250329 msi file to the root directory c: then ran the above. It then came up with Change(greyed out), Repair or Remove. I chose Repair and that seemed to work OK.

I then tried a couple the tables again that currently have no DOF working, john wick and pirates life.

However it is still the same, DOF isn't working.

[brarnienim00]

Just wondering if there is anything else I could try.

Thanks

Might seem a bit stupid.

But where are the table log files located?

TERMINATOR 2 - ONLY SLINGSHOT BUMPERS WORKING. (Flippers not, Rumbler not)

I tried 3 original tables with DOF not working. The directoutput.log doesn't update when run the tables. Tried John Wick, The Exorcist and Pirates Life.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong!

Post your GlobalConfig_B2SServer.xml File
And you said the Log file was in your Tables Folder?
