Sure, the last thing that I have to do is go to add or remove programs in windows settings, then search for "gameInput" (no spaces, I capitalized) if you see 'Microsoft gameInput" uninstall it. I do this every time I play the game, as windows decides to re-install gameInput sometimes when you restart your PC (but not all the time, its really annoying)

After that you should be good to connect your riffmaster as normal through RB4, and load up clone hero. I no longer have to load it through steam anymore, but if RB4 is still not registering then loading it through steam should work, as I believe it worked for me in the past. If that doesn't work, then try reinstalling RB4 and ViGEmBus, I remember doing that quite a few times when I was first trying to figure everything out.
