Aurora Bug Reports Discussion

@GrizzlyUK: This occurs if hardware acceleration is used. You said its disabled. have you restarted Aurora after disabling it? Are you using any external software which uses overlays or draws stuff above games or other software (I feel like a robot repeating this question over and over again for the last few days)?

You say you were running Cyberpunk. Does this only occur on this game? Has this game received an update? You have updated your drivers 5 days ago, have this happened since then?

I hadn't made any changes to the Aurora settings recently, so no, I didn't disable hardware acceleration. I have restarted Aurora after the two crashes, but I made no changes to the settings at all, so I hadn't disabled hardware acceleration after either crash. Both times that Aurora crashed I was playing Cyberpunk, using the latest trainer both times. I did do some alt-tabbing to use my browser (Firefox 107.0 now) to check some locations on the official Cyberpunk Interactive map, but other than that there was nothing different to what I normally have running. I have Steam running in the background but I rarely use the Steam overlay.

As for game updates to Cyberpunk, patch 1.61 is the latest and that was released on 8th November. Prior to that was patch 1.6 which released on 6th September. The game trainer for Cyberpunk was updated on 11/10/2022 for game patch 1.61, even though the previous game trainer (1.6 09-08-2022, updated 09/17/2022) was working perfectly fine with game patch 1.61. Aurora was also updated recently, as I recall mine updated on the 14th November, before the first crash. I remember that because I wondered if the new update might have been the cause of that crash at first, but ruled that out after checking these boards for any crash reports for Aurora 1.5.2. I haven't yet tried any other games while having any Aurora trainers running.

As I stated in my previous post, the first crash was on the 14th November (after Aurora had updated) and then the second crash was earlier today, 16th November. Both times that Aurora crashed I was playing Cyberpunk. As I also mentioned, I updated my graphics drivers on 10th November and I played Cyberpunk a number of times between 10th November and 14th November without any issues.

So, to put all of these events in date order:
8th November: Cyberpunk patch 1.61 released
10th November: updated graphics drivers / Cyberpunk trainer updated for game patch 1.61
14th November: Aurora updated, shortly after that Aurora crashed while playing Cyberpunk
16th November: Aurora crashed while playing Cyberpunk

After I'd posted my first report about these crashes I resumed playing Cyberpunk with Aurora running and using the latest trainer. I was able to play for almost 4 hours without any issues before I had to stop playing. But Aurora hardware acceleration was disabled for that game session.

About 5 minutes ago I received a notification that new graphics drivers are ready to install, so I've installed them. I am now on: GeForce Game Ready Driver 526.98 released 11/16/2022. Guess I'll have test these new drivers to see if they might help in some way.

I think that's everything, but if I did miss anything please let me know!

If it happens again, try disabling HW acceleration in Aurora settings (then restart Aurora to apply).

I'm trying to understand how to do this.

Can you explain it better for me to understand?

When in Aurora click your avatar (settings), go to Misc, uncheck the box next to "Enable Hardware Acceleration (Rendering)", click Close. Then restart Aurora 😎

But that's the problem. My Aurora does not open. So how to get the settings changed.

Launch aurora with command line " -nodx" (without quotes)
OR
go to %appdata%\Cheat Happens\Aurora open "Global Settings.json" file with a text editor, search for the line "EnableHardwareAcceleration" and set "true" to "false".

I could access it by utilizing the second method.

After changing it, Aurora is for the moment working again.

I will keep you posted.

Thank you!
