Steam Deck Discussion

I just paid and downloaded the tool and I get an error about the anti cheat on every game I try to launch via the aurora compatibility. Any insights?

ignore figured it out

The tool for steam deck doesn't work with midnight suns. I'm not sure why. The steamtinkerlaunch method works but launching with the tool only launcher aurora, not the game (even though the tool says the game is running). Ran it in various proton options, desktop and game mode, and in windows mode. Nothing works.
Tool works for other games though so it's still good. Just isn't compatible with midnight suns for some reason.

Im pretty sure its because of the 2k launcher. I remember reading some very specific workarounds Valve had to do to make it to work on Proton. Maybe Steamtinker also have workarounds for it.

There are guides on the internet how to bypass the 2k launcher. You can try one of these:

I just tried the bypass and unfortunately it didn't work. I would recommend everyone to use the Steam Tinker Launch method if they want to use this game

Ah I forgot... 2k games refuse to launch if there is an "Aurora" process. I probably should have chosen a different name for the SD tool executable...

I also jsut bought the Aurora Tool and having the same issue. What did you do to figure this out? I am getting the easy anti cheat error when trying to run AC Valhalla.

Did you find a fix for that?
I'm playing For the King. The game launches and the aurora launcher pops up and I can use both freely but, there's no aurora trainer. It says...
Aurora status: running
Game status: running
There's no errors in the log. It just says the proton version I'm using (I've tried all the ones in my list) and "Launching: FTK.exe
Still can't get it to work. I only got it because on my steam deck Aurora suddenly stopped working with steam tinker launcher. It still works with the stand alone trainers, just not the all-in-one.

@Bumblebean: Is this only on "For The King" ? Also the first one or For the king 2 ?

//edit: I just tried it myself on "For The King 1" in desktop mode with Proton 8 and SD tool. Both game and Aurora open fine. So I would need more information from you
