Aurora Features Requests Discussion

If you want a "proper version" then you will have to talk to Valve.

i feel like the tutorial didnt really explain it properly... but remembering that this is linux and with steam games, you gotta do some steps to make it work.

IN DESKTOP MODE
1. download ProtonUp-Qt
2. install steamtinker and whatever protonge thats recommended for your game through protondb.
3. download aurora and unpack it.
4. run the game for the first time without changing anything, it needs to copy over all the emulation files to make it work on linux.
5. close the game after you made sure that it works on itsown, then go to the game's properties on steam, compatibility and change it to steamtinker, while at it, disable steam overlay for the game.
6. launch the game and open the steamtinker gamemenu, check "use custom command", then pick the aurora.exe file, UNcheck "fork custom command", if "fork custom command" is checked, it will disable all input while in desktop mode. scroll down and check "proton use wined3d".
7. select "save and play"
8. aurora will open, enter your login, check the save password.
9. an error message will open, you can ignore it, just close it.
10. click on your portrait, open "misc" and enable "auto login", disable "enable hardware acceleration (rendering)".
11. close aurora after making your adjustments, the game will open afterwards with input enabled, close it.
12. relaunch the game through steam and open the gamemenu through steamtinker.
13. check "fork custom command" and uncheck "proton use wined3d". then you have the option to select the proton version that your game supports properly, at least according to protondb. once you're done, hit "save and play".
14. the game and aurora should be launching at the same time, or with a delay between them, making sure that aurora logs in automatically, just force quit both and ignore the steamtinker message that shows up for closing the game too quickly.

GAME SCOPE MODE
1. launch the game you've adjusted
2. using the steam button, you can swap between windows, and input on aurora is through touch, and steam button + X (to open the keyboard).

this worked for me every time, so i hope this helps people.
by the way, you do have to repeat this process for every game.

i forgot to add that you can adjust the volume of aurora in its settings, sometimes it likes to repeat the enable/disable/etc'

I've noticed a few people having the same problem I've been having, except no one seems to have an answer for it. I've followed all of the steps to a T. Everything loads and logs in fine, but when I open my game, the Aurora is unclickable in game mode, it just starts interacting with the game while Aurora is displayed over everything. Hopefully someone has a workaround for this.

I had the same problem. The solution was to activate developer mode. I didn't have to do anything in the developer mode, just turning it on was enough.

That wasn't in the video or written instructions, so don't feel bad that you missed it.

Someone earlier mentioned disabling Steam overlay too, but I don't recall having to do that.

I completely forgot to mention that....I did BOTH of those things. Maybe its because Yakuza 0 loads a native controller profile? At this point i'm trying everything lol

i shouldve realised there was more than a single page. pls forgive me XD

I have followed these steps up to login to aurora, but I cannot login as the keypad won't let me input any letters and keeps disappearing and reappearing, what am I missing?
