Controller bindings often reset to defaults instead of using personal bindings

[JLJTGR]

Describe the bug Maybe once a week for at least a couple years I would notice that my personal bindings would get reset to the "OVRAS Knuckles Default" instead of my personal bindings. I only notice this when trying to use the custom bindings and I don't use them every day... so I may not notice the real frequency.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start SteamVR via Steam
2. Try to use a button or gesture from a custom control binding
3. Open the VR dashboard, OVRAS section/icon
4. Click Bindings, back out to the selection screen

Expected behavior The button combo/gesture previously configured in OVRAS should work. The correct bindings in the "CHANGE BINDINGS FOR OVR ADVANCED SETTINGS" should be selected/active.

Additional context I think when it breaks, in vrserver.txt, I see some random lines saying: [Info] - Determined this is a legacy app. Then later on it says:

When it's working properly, it only ever says [Info] - Determined this is a steamvr_input app. breaks-log-snippet.txt working-log-snippet.txt

Being 100% clear this is 100% actually a Valve/Steam Bug.

have you moved your steam or steamvr install?

SteamVR has always been at C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR and OVRAS has always been at C:\Games\OpenVR-AdvancedSettings.

Do you think using the Steam version of OVRAS installed on the same C: library would help at all? I originally went with the GitHub version to prevent Steam from constantly reporting that I was "playing" OVRAS and also multiplying my overall bi-weekly played time. One hour in a VR game could report 4 hours of play time.... SteamVR+fpsVR*+OVRAS+game.
