"Unable to match vJoy devices to Windows devices" error
This error pops up for me occasionally, in this particular instance I had shut down the program a few minutes prior to restarting it and got the error. A reboot usually allows me to load it. I'm using release 13.3.
Usually, this is caused by multiple vJoy devices with identical configurations existing. However, if a reboot fixes it then it is more likely that the vJoy device is misbehaving and falsely or not at all reporting information about itself which could trigger the same error.
I'm receiving this error with only 1 vJoy device. I've tried reinstalling both vJoy and Joystick Gremlin, as well as rebooting, but no luck.
ETA: Reinstalled both pieces of software multiple times at this point. I'm also getting the "vJoy not running or incorrectly setup" error, so I'm going to try the debug release as mentioned in #305. The most recent error is "Unable to match vJoy devices to Windows devices," so here's the debug and log.

Can't really say what's going on but it looks like for some reason Gremlin does not receive information about the vJoy devices. Either in time or at all. The debug log seems to indicate that the vJoy device is present and seen but for some reason that information never arrives in Gremlin. Some things to look at is what version of vJoy is used and if there are other programs that acquire the vJoy device which would prevent Gremlin from seeing them.
