Steam Deck Discussion

I would not call it an "update" but something "NEW" is on the way.

Thank you guys. I really appreciate your work! Parents Like me don‘t have much time and gaming can sometimes be frustrating. Just want you to let you know you‘re really improving someones quality of free time, so thanks for that.

Right now we are shooting for a MONDAY launch. More details will be provided at that time.

Introducing the CH Aurora SteamDeck Tool

Cheat Happens is proud to announce the release of our latest custom-made software, the Aurora SteamDeck Tool. This is a NATIVE Linux/SteamOS launcher that is specifically designed to make AURORA ten times easier to install and use on Valve's Steam Deck.


Key Features:

- One-Click Installation Including Downloading Aurora if Necessary
- Single Sign On
- Auto Start Aurora with Game by Default
- Optionally Start Aurora in Background
- Optionally Start Aurora Delayed
- Customizable Settings Per Game Including Preferred Proton Version
- Auto Update
- Easy Way to Use it with UPlay or Epic Launcher(s)
(- More Features Coming Soon!)

The best possible way to convey how helpful this software is by watching these two short demo/tutorial videos:


 



 


Still not convinced? We are currently in an OPEN BETA phase of the tool where anyone and everyone may download it and check it out.

In order to use this tool you must have a Cheat Happens member account (Link). In order to use all of the cheats in Aurora you will also need a Cheat Happens PREMIUM ACCOUNT (monthly or higher - Link). Please be aware that this is not some kind of universal launcher like SteamTinker. It has been specifically designed for use with our Aurora all-in-one trainer management software.

This thread will serve as an open discussion and troubleshooting for the app. We may open up a dedicated message board in the future.

Lastly, please understand that this tool is NOT REQUIRED to get Aurora up and running on the Steam Deck. We have instructions (Link), a video tutorial (Link) and helpful FAQ (Link) on how to do this on your own, however many users get tripped up on one or more of these manual tasks which is why we created this tool.

We truly hope this tool makes your experience with your Steam Deck and Aurora a much better one. It was a HUGE effort to bring this to market.

I start the game on steam deck (desktop mode) and Aurora run right away but not loading (Aurora Status: Stopped, Game Status: Stopped); that's make the game won't load and stuck on launching forever. I closed the game; however, the game re-launch automatically; now the Aurora start to work using proton 8.0 and the game launching normally. I tried the option "Delay in seconds" but it's not working. If I launching the game on game mode, the device freeze. Game won't load and stuck on the Aurora screen like I described above. I need to restart the device and uncheck force the game running with Aurora.

you might want to mention that in the thread for that program Link

I'm trying to use Aurora Steamdeck Tool on my laptop (with Arch, Wayland/hyprland), but I am having issues installing it.
During installation, when I try to change the install directory, by clicking the "...", it doesn't update, it'll keep the "/home/deck/Downloads/Aurora", and I don't have that since it's not on a Steam Deck.
Running it through the terminal gives the message "Unhandled Exception: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/home/deck' is denied.", among other messages afterward (it's quite a long string of text, so unless someone wants it all, I'll spare you 😅.
Is there something I can do to force a folder change? Edit the installer? Anything?

This tool is written for LINUX/STEAMOS, not WINDOWS. It was made exclusively for the Steam Deck!! WHY IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TRYING TO RUN IT ON YOUR LAPTOP? IT SERVES NO PURPOSE. Sometimes I wonder why we even try. /sigh
