I created an account just to reply to this in case others have the same problem I did trying to unlink accounts.  A simple uninstall of pinball fx3 will not unlink your account as settings are saved in a folder that is not removed during an uninstall.

 

HOW TO UNLINK ACCOUNTS IN PINBALL FX3 (assumes you have the Vol5 CODEX release):

1. Uninstall the game

2. Delete the game data folder: %SystemDrive%\Users\Public\Documents\Steam\CODEX\442120

(So replace %SystemDrive% with whatever your drive is.  Probably C:)

3. Just to be safe, look in your Documents directory for a Zen Studios folder and delete that as well

4. Reinstall the game.  Account should be unlinked.

 

 

whats your problem? can you play 99 tables online and save your progress?

This worked for me with "Pinball FX3 Williams Pinball Volume 6 MULTi5-ElAmigos"! Thanks. It didn't work the first time I tried it, but it's because an account was linked in the settings (even though I never actually did that). Once I unlinked it, it worked fine.

English translation:

1. Backup the EXE
2. Find 45 F4 64 A3 00 00 00 00 8B F1 0F BE 86 F8 02 00 00 8D 9E F8 02 00 00 83 F8 07 0F 87 13 02 00 00 FF 24 in the EXE and replace 0F BE 86 F8 02 00 00 with B8 05 00 00 00 90 90. For me this was at offset 354B5A
3. Find 45 F4 64 A3 00 00 00 00 8B F9 8B 87 BC 00 00 00 83 F8 1F 0F 8F A7 03 00 00 0F 84 57 02 00 00 83 in the EXE and replace 8B 87 BC 00 00 00 with 31 C0 90 90 90 90. For me this was at offset 355A6A

After doing that, follow the steps in the original post:

1. Start Pinball FX3
2. Click the pinball table icon at the top
3. Enter any activation code. The game will hang with a looping sound
4. Press Alt+F4 to exit
5. Once you restart it, it should be activated

Working for me, cabinet + online game!. "VOLUME 6 ELAMIGOS" THX!

Hi I have tested with the different exe shared in this topic but the vertical cabinet mode remains blocked.

I deleted this Delete the game data folder:% SystemDrive% \ Users \ Public \ Documents \ Steam \ CODEX \ 442120

But it recreates automatically. 

I have the pinball fx3 pack5

 

Can someone share their exe that works to unlock vertical cabinet mode please

The problem was I tried to link accounts once and it failed, then after that point it would constantly nag me at start up about accounts not being linked.  I could not remove the nag screen even after I uninstalled and reinstalled.  It didn't stop me from playing or saving progress, but it was annoying.  I finally fixed it in the way I described above.   And no, there are only 96 tables, not 99.  It's too bad all of the good stuff that seemed to happen with your installation were magical and you don't know the steps to repeat them.  Good for you though!

The one posted earlier works for me:

https://mega.nz/file/RmxxEKIC#s9JSw0u_JV9LbM_FIYgKxwAn3FVU_Rs2WQ1o_HRD_iI

 

Steps:

1. Copy the Patched .exe from the 1.)Patched .exe folder to your install directory.  

2. From the "2.) Ready-to-go unlocker for each crack" folder, go into CODEX subfolder and all the way down until you get to the stats.ini file.  Copy that stats.ini file to the equivalent folder on your HD (which was created when you installed the game):

%SystemDrive%\Users\Public\Documents\Steam\CODEX\442120

3. Start the game. Look to the rightside of the main menu -- Do you see a 'pinball machine' icon?   If you do and clicking on it gives you options for orientation and DMD positioning, then cabinet mode is unlocked and you're good to go. If you see a form entering your zen code, then it didn't work.

yeah as i said the only thing i know is i updated 9downloaded a new pinball fx3 thing with codex meaning it wont go online) but added the 'el' one with less tables which this 1 does go online and and literally chucked the extra tables into my tables folder and that worked, but i tried that 1 before and it didnt work so its not magic, just luck

Hello I have both the ElAmigos version 5 and currently 6. But every time I start the FX3 exe the program tries to connect "Connecting" the whole thing takes a good 2 minutes. Only after that I can try again or cancel. (Retry/Cancel)

After Cancel I can start the tables.

How do I make it so that the program starts immediately and I do not have to wait in the Connecting. The PC/Cabinet is in offline mode...so there is no internet connection.

Someone has an idea

Here is the patch info to unlock cabinet for the latest Indy release

 

1. Make a copy of the .exe (ctrl+c/ctrl+v)

2. Edit the copy of the file with a hex editor

 

Offset: 00377D7A
Original: 0F BE 86 F8 02 00 00
Patch: B8 05 00 00 00 90 90

 

Offset: 00378C8A
Original: 8B 87 BC 00 00 00
Patch: 31 C0 90 90 90 90

3. Run the PATCHED game, click the pinball icon, enter a random number and click activate. Game will hang, that means it worked! Close the game with Alt+F4

4. Now the cabinet mode is unlocked, just run the UNPATCHED game in command line: "Pinball FX3.exe" -offline -class -table_WMS_Indiana_Jones

Hello everyone.
I apologize in advance for my English, I am using a translator.
I come to you with a query, I am looking for a way to have the "cabinet mode" in Pinball FX3 (pirate version of ElAmigos) with the patch by the same author dated 03/10/2022.
Could you help me?
Greetings from Uruguay :D

[sidjones]

I used the original unlocked files from the first page of the thread with the current skidrow indy exe. Replaced the exe and replaced the stats.ini.  hit the cabinet icon, entered a code.  Force closed.  Reopened.  And it was in cabinet mode.

It would not keep the cabinet code active unless I launched the game with the -offline argument.

Is there a way to force that in one of the ini files?

well for the latest update with the plaza version .. this is what i been using

https://mega.nz/file/XxYg3QDI#EQ1uoks4zcobhMnKsxgVLFBxE1Br1QpvjtT67Ik3qjQ

use the patched exe (backup up the original one)

than copy the unlocker file to  C:\Users\Public\Documents\Steam\CODEX\442120 ... since u r using plaza so  will use the codex version ...

 

than all u need to do is start game and activate the cabinet mode with any number and it will ask u to link account click yes and now it should be working when u exit and go back just unlink account and u r good to go.

Thank you so much man !

Hi

 

I did not want to start a new thread.  Has anyone got Pup Packs to work with FX3

 

Nailbusters site says they only work with official FX3 launched via Steam - is that correct - as I downloaded FX3 from here

 

Downloaded the Baller Installer and changed the launch paramters from Steam to the crack.exe but it would not launch via the frontend

Any suggestions please?

Thanks
