Looking for VR Input Emulator... ERROR
Looking for SteamVR...Success! Looking for VR Input Emulator...
Never finds Emulator, it's installed correctly and even shows up as a menu option within VR
Make sure you're up to date. The newest playspace mover prints a URL to an exe that typically fixes that bug.
I'd get you the URL but I'm on my phone right now and going to bed. You can also find it in the source code. It's a Google doc link.
Found and ran: Boost6005BugFixApplier.exe
It still inputs "Looking for VR Input Emulator..." without working.
I've re-installed The VR Input Emulator twice, and the Advanced Settings, and it's the most recent versions of the installer i could find for both programs.
Oof. Then I'm unsure. Sorry. It uses boost interprocess comminations to communicate if that helps
I am currently having this issue and have tried the fix. Any workarounds? i'd even reinstall windows to test
You probably should not reinstall windows, part of of the bug is that your Windows error log is empty. Reinstalling Windows would probably clear your error log (causing the bug).
If you ran the bug fix applier from here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Gn3IOm6GbkINplbEenu0zTr3DkB1E8Hc, and it still doesn't work, then I don't know what to do. Sorry!
Oh you should also try this fix: https://github.com/sharkyh20/OpenVR-InputEmulator/releases/tag/SteamVR-Fix
finding a workaround atm as the fixes didnt fix. After following a reddit post, playspace mover no longer immediately says it can't find input emulator, but instead just keeps searching. I'm hoping to find a complete fix soon, I will try to keep updating with progress https://www.reddit.com/r/Vive/comments/a12pim/safe_mode_a_living_hell/ease8jk/ So far I believe its a problem with steam starting in safe mode but i have not found a fix yet. the link above solves playspace posting the link for the bug fix applier but it still wont find input emulator.
I also have this problem. Is here anyone that knows how to fix this? I've contacted many people and they have no idea what the problem is, Neither do I.
I was running into input emulator issues until I used this driver fix. Not sure if it will help.

currently testing and think i found a huge issue people may be doing. Are people still using this version of advanced settings? : https://github.com/naelstrof/VRPlayspaceMover/releases
I fixed my playspace mover by: using this version of advanced settings https://github.com/OpenVR-Advanced-Settings/OpenVR-AdvancedSettings/releases Updating SteamVR out of beta and to version 1.2.7 repeatedly crashing my computer (idk why) Losing access to camera (idk why) and using the most recent release of VRPlaysspaceMover found on this github's release pages. NOTHING was run as admin and I did NOT have to set the file to read only.
I wouldn't mark this thread as closed due to the amount of variables and the unknown exact fix.
Just letting you know that It's still not working for me. Steam VR is not in safe mode either, I've also downloaded the patch and other ''fixes'' but my placespacemover.exe is still stuck on ''Looking For VR Input Emulator.'' I really hope someone could help me.I haven't been able to use playspacemover since Steam VR got that update....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20oCnsgM9fI Step by step guide. I did not make this video but this worked for me and the maker made it with the idea of of going through the process semi pain free. Only difference i noticed in my files was that under the drivers i only had the .exe file not the text document. the file with both is in the description of the video. Hope this helps resolve the issues with not being able to launch playspace mover. Video Maker says that this should work almost everytime just follow him through the steps cause he even breaks his steam to replicate the issue and takes you through very thoroughly.
I know this is an old post but I have noticed that if steam VR ever crashes it blocks some apps and it did that with open VR for me! I went into my steamVR settings and had to go to start up and shut down than click choose start up overlay apps and select advanced settings and VR input emulator.
I had this issue and dug around trying to find a fix and found this post. Here's what my issue was. Fix: Launch SteamVR>Click 3 dash menu>settings> Advanced settings "Show"> Startup / Shutdown > "Manage Add-Ons"> 00vrinputemulator "On"
When I did this, I restarted SteamVR and launched it by running playspace mover again Hope this helps!
