For the last couple of months Aurorai keeps freezing after 1 or 2 switches from the game to Aurorai and back. When I start up a game with Aurorai it works fine at first. I can switch on some cheats and play the game but when I switch back (or use the overlay) everything freezes and it shows 0 fps in the overlay. I can switch back to the game and after a couple of seconds it will resume but Aurorai will remain frozen. I've tried disabling the overlay (I can't seem to save this option in Aurorai so it keeps coming back after a restart), reinstalling everything, controlling via the mobile app so I don't have to switch and turned developer mode off and on but nothing seems to resolve it. I've searched in the forums and I found maybe 2 other posts about it but with no reply so it doesn't seem an often recurring problem so maybe i'm doing something wrong but I don't really know. It used to work fine before the big update of Aurora.

@zico1990: Have you tried a different Proton version? Most if not all issues around "this happens on Steamdeck (linux) only" have something to do with Proton. A newer Proton version may solve it. Or it runs better on an older proton version. Its worth to give it a try.
