Solenoid delay woes for Future Pinball and FX

[tvel44]

Hello! Getting back into VP after being out of the loop for a few years--- and feel like I forgot how to do anything. ha-- but I've been working my way back to having a functional machine, solving problems and getting things back in order is great! I have run across a few issues though, and see as I might, I just cannot figure them out.  I'm hoping someone might be able to help… biggest issue currently is my doflinx for FX and dof for Future Pinball. I'm running a i7-10700K, 16 RAM, with a GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3080. 4k playfield 120hz, 4k backglass 60hz, DMD and Topper not 4k, 60hz. I have the machine decked out with all the toys, real flipper mechanics, and addressables and matrix. Everything seems to run great in VPX– toys seem to be on point. But when I log into Future Pinball or Pinball FX of FX3, the issues begin:

 

1. Some of the solenoids/mechanics seem to be delayed. The right flipper in particular--  it seems to fire off every other time. Or I hit it, and the solenoid goes off 2 seconds later. It’s sporadic though– sometimes it works as it should, other times I get nothing at all... and then it goes off a bit later. I don’t have this issue at all in VPX.  

2. No addressables or matrix— these worked at one time-- now they stopped loading up completely (in Future Pinball only)

3. Lag in both the DMD and backscreen– some graphic artifacts too. I don’t have this type of lag for most puppack for VPX.  Could it be my pc specs?  

 

As for PinballFX, addressables and matrix are working, but the solenoid delay issue happens here too. 

 

Pulling my hair out-- any thoughts?
