AssertionError: The virtual device could not connect to ViGEmBus.

I just finished the setup process for the installation and checking that it all works. Following the tutorial found here: https://github.com/trackmania-rl/tmrl/blob/master/readme/get_started.md
I've been trying to follow along with the, "If you want to test the pre-trained AI for raw screenshots" section. And after doing everything it tells me and putting in the command: python -m tmrl --test. It always does nothing and finishes with the error: AssertionError: The virtual device could not connect to ViGEmBus. I don't know much about how this works, so forgive me if I'm being dumb. I looked at some other people who had similar problems and they just started talking nonsense I couldn't understand so if someone could help me out that would be amazing. Thanks!

Hi, the error you encounter comes from the vgamepad library which apparently failed to install properly. Did pip prompt you with the vigembus installation?

It did prompt me with the installation. I can try to uninstall and reinstall the gamepad library and try again. I'll see if that might work.

That did work. Thank you!
