This is what the logfile states:

All tables start up normally via the VPX 64-bits.exe.

 

Is there anyone that could help me with this .. I haven´t change anything lately to the PinballY! settings.

 

Thanks!

 

Cheers,

FD.

Not sure if I can help, but I don't see DOF showing up in my log file until I start a table, or when I exit PinballY (it gives DOF: Shutting Down DOF Client.)

 

In my settings.txt file, I have DOF .= 0. But that's just for PinballY not using DOF when I switch between tables. The tables themselves fire up DOF with no problem.

 

I'm running the same version of PinballY; hope a new update comes soon.

You sure seem to be having a lot of trouble with your PinballY install (while our copies just keep working fine).

 

First you lost that config-file and now this.

 

Makes me wonder if maybe you have some other trouble with your system, like maybe Windows related or even a HDD/SSD problem? Have you read the SMART status of that drive recently?

Thanks licwip & Tesla ..

 

I´ve checked and changed the DOF setting to 0, without result:

No problem with my ssd either:

E:\>wmic diskdrive get status
Status
OK
OK

De- and re-installed PinballY! .. still the same problem.

 

Hope there´s someone out there having experienced the same, and comes up with another suggestion ..

 

Thanks again!

EDIT: All solved .. Thanks again!

Reinstalled PinballY!, and as a result it was set back to default settings ..
