Joystick Gremlin Fails to Launch when adding 2 vjoy devices.

[SudoQueen86]

Hi, hoping I can get some help here. Joystick Gremlin works fine if I only have one vJoy device enabled, however, as soon as I add a second, I get an error at launch stating 'Unable to match vJoy devices to windows devices.'

When I look in the system log, I see this:

I can see where it is having issue seeing the vJoy devices. Is there anything I can do to resolve this issue? I cannot use the software without setting up two devices.

To be recognized the devices need to be different to be distinguished . Eg remove a button from one or change the number of hats of one device.

Still having the same issue. I changed the number of hats/axis/buttons to not match the other at all and it still won't launch:

There might also be something odd with your vJoy install as the particular error states that vJoy device isn't properly seen by the input library. Something that can work at times with that is a bunch of removing and adding the vjoy device with reboots in between.
