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.

Update: Zero buttons make vJoy crash. I'm quite sure this is a new problem that brought to us by 1803 although this is probably a vJoy bug. I cannot change the driver but I will try to find a workaround in the configuration tools.

For the moment the procedure to revive vJoy is simplified:

1. Remove registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vjoy
2. Reboot computer
3. Install vJoy.

Thanks shauleiz, it solved all my problems. As long as I don't set any device buttons to 0 everything works as expected.

Cheers,

Thank you , that's a good find , it wont help me much as I depend on Tobbi Game Hub and obliviously it configures by default with Zero buttons which means every time I revive vJoy Game Hub will brake it down . I will contact Tobii and see if they have an alternative for that .

@shauleiz Nefarius has indicated before that he is willing to sign a new driver for you, so we have options there...

@dvojinov do not despair. I can still change the configuration tools. I can think of 3 things right now:

• There's a bug in the configtool in the output in the specific case of 0 - so I'll fix it.
• The bug is in the driver - so instead of zero-value in the buttons section I will remove the button section.
• If all is lost - I will redefine vJoy as 1-128 buttons.

@evilC He did. Well, If the configuration tools will not do the trick I'll have (unwillingly) to fix the driver.

[shauleiz]

Good news. The bug is in the configuration tools. I manually changed the registry entry an this is what I get: pic Fixing it should not be a problem. I will let you know when you can have it for testing

Could you please the files for this zip file and use them to replace your currently installed files. Once approved I'd like to build a new vJoy package.

with the zip its working for me.

Steps i followed, uninstalled vjoy, deleted the reg key, rebooted and installed. Replaced for files in the x64 folder (guess the others are if you have a 32bit os). Fired up the tobii game hub and when i clicked 'configure' it created a new device. Went into ETS2 and its showing as a device in the setting and when loaded in works there too.

Thank you for all the hard work <3

Much appreciated , after I followed advised installation with cleaning of the registry I installed vJoy with no problem . 1.checkd connected devices it was shown as normal 2.Replaced the original files with the NEW from the zip and did restart

3. checked all vJoy components all reported normal and functional
4. open up Tobii Game Hub and selected Eurtruck2 to be configurated by the HUB
5. The HUB successfully configurated vJoy and what ever else has to be done
6. fired up Eurotrucks 2 and both Eye tracking and Head tracking working properly as before

That worked for me and my Tobii 4c Tracker including all respective Tobii software and games that has to be supported,

Thank you .

[shauleiz]

Thank you all for this fantastic co-operation. I have just published a new release (Build 39) The issue is being closed.

I just downloaded what is referred to as vJoy 2.1.8.39 from the download page but checking the file it says 2.1.8.38 which is also the reported version when checking the app via the Windows Control Panel-Programs.

Just want to make sure the file I downloaded actually is the latest version (2.1.8.39)?

I noticed how this thread is quite old and I'm on Windows 1809 when writing this. Came here since I'm using vJoy with a Brunner CLS-E yoke and noticed how the buttons on my Brunner yoke no longer were working. When checking installed programs under the Windows Control Panel, vJoy Device Driver was no longer on the list even when I certainly didn't uninstall it myself. I'm guessing it might have happened after some recent Windows update...

Will see how the version I just downloaded works. It hang at the end of the installation but after I restarted my computer, it's back on the Control Panel-Programs list so I have my hopes up :-)
