vJoy fails in Windows 10 1803 and won't install either

[e270889o]

Just updated, and windows won't let me activate vjoy, and when reinstalling, it fails.

[Ernes58]

Same issue here. Can´t activate vjoy after W10 1803

Need to take look at your log files: SetupAPI.dev.log file.

I heard some talk about PJP JoyIDs breaking in the latest W10 build.
JoyIDs is an app that allows you to manipulate the DirectInput registry keys to change device order.
I think it is also used for legacy (WinMM) stuff.
I am wondering if MS deprecated something?

Same here after update to W10 1803 the only device driver that showed exclamation triangle in device manager , after I removed it and wanted to install again it didn't want to install giving "driver error msg" . As it is part of my Tobii 4C I also alerted Tobii crew regarding this problem so maybe you guys can work this out . Thanks !

As it is part of my Tobii 4C

As what is part of your Tobii 4C? The 4C is an eye tracker ?!?! I fail to see any relation between that and vJoy

Ahh, did not know that Tobii had a vJoy feeder built-in.
FYI, our new version of UCR has support for reading eye gaze and head pose info from the 4C and using it to drive any of the supported forms of output.
Currently, these are:
vJoy (DirectInput only)
ViGEm (Xb360 / DS4)
Titan One (Console)
Interception (Driver-level keyboard + mouse)

[dvojinov]

Thanks for the advice however I'll wait until vJoy is fixed it is needed only for games that doesn't support 4c within the game but get supported over "Tobii Game Hub" like Eurotruck2 / American Trucks , games like Ghost Recon Wildlands , Far Cry 5 working normally .

[evilC]

Right, but my point being that the Tobii feeder only supports DirectInput. If, for example, you needed to emulate XInput (eg emulate right stick on an Xbox controller), Tobii does not seem to support that, whereas UCR does.

[shauleiz]

Seems like 1803 broke the rule that anything signed before July 2015(?) will always be valid. My machine has not been upgraded yet so I can't analyse this. If so, I can only suggest that you disable the diver signature verification of your systems. OR You can sign vJoy for yourselves.

[evilC]

I will speak to Nefarius about re-signing vJoy
I take it that no code changes are required, just a re-build and re-sign?

[dvojinov]

Thanks :) Im so out of this signing and re-signing drivers for quite some time now since I left the boat of Realtek and "DTS Interactive mess" :P (that was the time I needed to disable diver signature verification and do all this things regarding driver signing )

[shauleiz]

The good new is: I upgraded to 1803 and vJoy functions well on my machine. This means that there's no new Microsoft policy. However, many complain that they do have a problem. I took a look at the Setupapi.dev.log (thank you e270889o) and it too does not complain about a licence problem. Here's the culprit:

!!! dvi: Device not started: Device has problem: 0x0a (CM_PROB_FAILED_START), problem status: 0xc000001d.

No idea what it might mean. Probably just need to reboot, but this is just a guess.

[e270889o]

@shauleiz System has been rebooted multiple times.

[dvojinov]

Same here complete uninstall , reboot try to install , installation started then "vJoy driver error" ..no Joy :) I got instructions from Tobii to unplug all my hardware controllers which I have only one Logitech DRIVING FORCE™ GT Steering Wheel then to reboot and try to install vJoy so I did but again didn't go every time the installer start once the driver has to be installed this appears "vJoy driver error" and installation ends unsuccessfully . I had absolutely no problem with previous Creator version.

[e270889o]

In Setupapi.setup.log i have this

[shauleiz]

Exact same problem. Did you try to Disable/Enable through the Device Manager? If this is possible then I'll have to look into the installer or the vJoyConf programme.

[e270889o]

I have remove it in device manager, also uninstall all logitech related software. Clean register. Clean all vjoy references in system32.... no luck

[Ernes58]

Any news? I miss the iRffb... snif

[DragRedSim]

I'm having my own variant of this issue. Installs fine, with one device. Add another device, fine. Attempt to modify the details of that device, both virtual controllers become listed as deleted. Cannot re-add devices, config panel does nothing on clicking "Add Device". vJoy Enabled box is also unticked by default at this time, and ticking it does nothing. Even clicking Reset All does nothing after approving the dialog.

[shauleiz]

This seams like a problem related to reading and writing of configuration from and to the registry. I need to take a look at this. Thanks

[dvojinov]

After a clean w10 installation not refresh or what ever bacakup, restore but full clean with formated SSD vJoy installed but it still doesnt work with Tobii Game Hub as before. This time Game Hub reports "cannot configure vJoy". So although installed seems not to work as before on W10.

[shauleiz]

Well, my machine is version 1803, build 17134.48 I followed your detailed instructions and sorry, everything went just fine. Perhaps you should try the command-prompt programme (vJoyConfig)?

[dvojinov]

hmmm strange! where under Device Manger in 1803, build 17134.48 vJoy should be listed ? Can you make screen shot so I can compare with mine ..looks like it is missing , I believe I saw it before but now doesn't show up now . Although installation reports vJoy installed successfully Im confused now.

[shauleiz]

You should select View->Devices By Connection:

Anyway, I use vJoyList to get the picture:

[dvojinov]

Thank you that was very helpful but now I have no Idea how to get this working as on my end on clean and fresh installed W10 latest 1803 (straight away ) , Vjoy installation reports "success" however its for some reason not active and what ever I pres or check "enable vJoy" it just doesn't work ...I have to mention my Windows are Home edition and everything default .

[dvojinov]

this happens when I want to install the driver manually and then I removed it and try to do another manual installation through Device manager and then this happens

[dvojinov]

Some update in my case , after 3 full windows re-installations and Im done for now . In my specific case the Tobii Game Hub renders vJoy inoperable after attempting to configure it from or lets say within Game Hub to be used with Euro Trucks2 game (dont know for other games and frankly I dont care) . Even when everything is installed all controllers , software and vJoy which is perfectly normal and shows the same as shaulieiz posted the moment Tobii Game Hub accesses vJoy to configure it ....booom!!! ,gone rendered useless and dispapears form "connected devices" and appears in hidden not operational . However after that happens even If I fully uninstall vJoy or manually remove it form that hidden connected devices and want to reinstall it back it gives Installation error and I'm not able to install it back . So as for me that is clearly Tobii Game Hub issue I contacted them and hope they find a way to resolve this and how to get vJoy installation back .

[ziloxaoki]

Hi guys, any solution for that? I am having same issue after updating windows 10 to 1803. Vjoy is not installing and even if I disable the driver signature it doesn't work. I noticed that if I run "vJoyinstall.exer i" it does not throw any error but the driver is not installed, I cannot find the driver in Device Manger but if I run "vJoyinstall.exe r" the driver is installed but it doesn't work, in device manager it appears with a yellow exclamation.

[shauleiz]

I haven't been working on vJoy lately. However, I wander whether it has something to do with the fact that other specific software is installed such as Tobii Game Hub.

[ziloxaoki]

Hi Shaul,

I don't have Tobii Game Hub installed. I use vJoy with an Arduino and an App I built in C# to control the buttons in a steering wheel. I noticed my firewall (Tinywall) has same problem, it just stopped working and I was not able to install it.

[abrozas]

Yep, I also have the same problem. After updating W10 vjoy fails when I tried to save my custom controller. I user it with irffb to adjust the force feedback of my steering wheel. I have tried to reinstall but it doesn't work.

[shauleiz]

Are we all with "home edition"? Is it always with non-default devices (I mean, some configurations applied)?

[ziloxaoki]

I am using Win 10 pro. When I have time I'll try to perform a clean installation and see if it solves the problem.

[dvojinov]

Home + Tobii Hub ,in my case after HUB want to configure vJoy it renders it useless with no way to reinstall vJoy back .

[shauleiz]

Well, here's my guess (I need to confirm it): The problem is not a license problem. It has probably something to do with access to the registry. Since my machine works flawlessly, I will try to compile a comprehensive list of all vJoy-related entries for you to remove before reinstalling vJoy. I will try to do it in the coming 48 hours.

[dvojinov]

Much appreciated even if it is not in 48hrs, thank you. Like I sad on my fresh installed system everything was perfectly ok with vJoy untill Hub accessed it to attempt an automated configuration so eye and head trecking can be used in Eurotruck2 simulator via HUB support and vJoy.

[shauleiz]

I have been going through the code to find where vJoy accesses the registry. Here is what I found: Configuration is under: registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vjoy FFB stuff is under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\PnpResources\Registry\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_1234&PID_BEAD

However, the system itself adds many other entries. Here's what I found: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\DirectInput\VID_1234&PID_BEAD

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2818827853-3098010898-2971523946-1001\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\DirectInput\VID_1234&PID_BEAD

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_1234&PID_BEAD

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\PnpResources\Registry\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_1234&PID_BEAD

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_1234&PID_BEAD

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2818827853-3098010898-2971523946-1001\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_1234&PID_BEAD

Please note that where my machine has S-1-5-21-2818827853-3098010898-2971523946-1001 your machine will have something else. the HKEY_USERS\S* is an arbitrary string.

I suggest that you try to uninstall vJoy, remove all the above entries and try to reinstall afresh. This might just solve the problem (or not).

[dvojinov]

Thank you sir , definitely will try this out and report back my findings .

[Bellsibub]

Hey, just want to let you guys know that I tried your suggested solution and it worked for me!! :D IMPORTANT: You have to restart computer after deleting the keys

Thanks so much ;)

[shauleiz]

@Bellsibub - Good new! Well, I should have thought about rebooting...

[dvojinov]

I can confirm that after flowing the registry cleanup I was able to install vJoy back and everything is working properly with vJoy so that s a progress . In my specific case when I open Tobii Game Hub and let the HUB to configure vJoy it renders it useless , it breaks it down in a way it disappears form connected devices and show up in hidden devices , more so all vJoy related applications report as vJoy isnt installed . For me there isnt much help until this guys form Tobii dont realize what is breaking down vJoy so badly during the configuration procedure . Thank you very much mr.shauleiz .

[ziloxaoki]

Hi Shauleiz, thanks for looking into this.

After cleaning the registry and restarting the computer I was able to install vJoy. But it installs only one device and if I try to add more devices all them just disappear.

[StevenWestJ]

Hi, can confirm that I have what appears to be similar findings (to dvojinov)

I uninstalled vjoy, deleted the keys listed above, rebooted and installed the vjoy again. Installed fine. Opened the monitor and config and it all looked good (enabled, green device in config). Fired up ETS2 and i could for the first time see vjoy as a controller. Im unfamiliar with how i should configure it but I guess thats not really important atm. I went into the config tool that was still open and changed the buttons to '0' and applied it. As soon as I clicked apply, i heard the sound of a device being unplugged. The tool panels greyed out and the vjoy device status in device manager is set to 'Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)'.

Winver win10 pro, 64bit, 1803 17134.48

If you need any log files let me know.

Interesting , that's pretty much my case once Tobii Game Hub wants to configure vJoy same result that has to be connected in some way

Now I was able to add some devices and change the configuration. Steps to add the devices:

• Open the vJoyConf.exe at /x64 folder;
• Click on "Reset All"
• Click on "Enable vJoy"
• Click on "Add Device" If it crashes you just have to click the "Reset all" button and run "vJoyInstall.exe r". The problem occurs randomly, I have to set up 3 devices but it always crashes at some point during the devices configuration, when I click on the "Apply" button.

It seems to crash with some settings combination, specially if I try to set a device with all the effects enabled but only axis X checked, if I try to run these commands it always crashes:

vJoyConfig.exe 1 -f -a -b 20 vJoyConfig.exe 2 -f -a -b 57 vJoyConfig.exe 3 -f -a x -b 0 -e all

There is definitely something wrong with windows 10 1803. I just noticed my Fanatec pedals is having issues too, I cannot access the profile. Many other people are suffering of that problem: https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/windows-10-update-and-its-usb-issues.10748/

Confirmed.

Yes, I can also confirm that the registry key fix helps install vjoy. But when trying to configure a device it fails. Since Gamehub application only uses the vjoyconfig.exe the issue isn't with that software. I could reproduce the configure fail by just using vjoyconfig.exe

Let me know if you any logs from the configure :)
