As for 4d) is Aurora also connected to mobile server? The bottom left mobile icon on Aurora should be green.
For the games I personally only have Midnight Suns, I will take a look at it.
Yes. It starts as red on SD then I connect via mobile app and it turns green.
I've also tried it with Aurora running on the SD and laptop and also just on the SD.
If it matters, both the SD and laptop seem to use the same ID and password to connect.
As for the other stuff, keep in mind. I literally have brain damage and have trouble processing things, so a lot/all of it could be user error. I try not to rule that out anymore and I might just be doing something seriously wrong.
It's why I hesitate to submit a bug report nd waste your time until I can confirm with other people if it IS user error or a bug.
