What might be wrong regarding the translation issue for different users might be the so-called chaperone settings.

You can find the file with these settings here:

C:\Users\LP-Research\AppData\Local\LP-Research\LPVR-CAD\driver\lpvr_duo\resources\chaperone_info.json

where LP-Research needs to be the name of your user.

The file contents look like this:

{    "jsonid" : "chaperone_info",    "universes" : [     {       "collision_bounds": [],       "play_area": [ 1, 1 ],       "seated": {         "translation": [ 0, 0, 0 ],         "yaw": 0       },       "standing": {         "translation": [ 0, 0, 0 ],         "yaw": 0       },       "time": "Thu Jul 04 13:37:37 2005",       "universeID": "281613759"     }    ],    "version" : 5 }

Make sure translation and yaw are 0. These parameters are set during the SteamVR room calibration. Therefore avoid doing a room calibration, even if SteamVR asks you to. I suspect SteamVR asked you to do a room calibration when installing it for a new users.
