Cheat Happens

Hi all

I recently factory reset my steam deck as every time I tried to launch the steam deck paid version of aurora it was not finding it despite the installation.

I have since reinstalled it and it's launching. Problem is the aurora launcher is coming up over the game but appears to be non responsive. I cannot press the activate trainer button nor minimise it and the game is heard in the background but I have to force aurora shut.

I've tried the tool options from desktop to change aurora to force in background etc but it doesn't seem to be saving / sticking to these options.

I've tried from desktop mode too but it is incredibly difficult to switch between aurora and game and is the same issue as above on deck game mode.

I've only installed proton experimental and nothing else.

I've also tried to load aurora in desktop mode and link to my phone so I can remotely deal with the cheat menu but it doesn't seem to be working properly there either.

Can anyone assist / has any suggestions?

There's a whole thread for you to ask steam deck related questions there. Link and Link

If it's occurring in Desktop mode then switch your graphics settings to windowed.

I would recommend you to download whatever protons versions for 7.X, 8.X, and the latest version. It's good to have different versions incase the latest version doesn't work.

As for dealing with switching windows in desktop mode, I would link one of your back buttons to alt+tab.
