fx3 steam update 12-9-2021

[barryodog]

fx3 update has disabled my dof feedback on pinup popper tables [fx3]

Re ghosted my system now i have feedback again!

Solution, never  plug in to internet again?

Yeah, after every FX update DOFLinx has to be updated.  Normally it's done pretty quick, so hopefully it will get updated shortly.

Don't forget to see if your PINUPPLAYER.INI file was overwritten and removed the pointer to your sound card.  I had to add my line back in at the bottom:

 

[SYSTEM]
SoundDeviceIndex=2

I cannot find PINUPPLAYER.INI file, were would this be located?

[DanLShane]

Find your PinUPSystem folder; it's in there.

Yes, just open the INI file in Notepad and add those two lines to the bottom of the text.  This instruciton tells PupPlayer to use the sound device that Windows recognizes as the secondary audio device that drives your surround sound feedback. Depending on how many audio devices Windows sees you may need to change the value to 1, 2, or 3.  In my case the Realtek audio card what drives my SSF speakers.

OK i tried 1,2 and 3, still nothing, VPX is still working thankfully! I dont know what else to try

[DanLShane]

Did FX3 SSF ever work for you?  Did you follow TerryRed's instructions on using PinupPlayer to introduce SSF into FX3?  Without that you will not have SSF and all sound effects will come through your backbox speakers.

 

Added: Looking at your previous posts it appears you did have the feature working before the latest FX3 version update.

I just reimaged my cab back with fx3 working and there is no [SYSTEM] in that ini

[DanLShane]

That means you either have only one audio card in your system or the SSF audio device is already set as primary.  The [SYSTEM} field is only required if Windows incorrectly tags your audio device order.

 

Glad to hear you got it working.  I'm rebuilding my cab PC right now because Windows 11 borked the audio and video.  Going back to Windows 10.

I never did figure it out, just use fx3 offline, It's a real pain in the butt.
