Steam Deck Discussion

Hi

I managed to correctly install the steam deck version of Aurora

I have selected to run aurora in the game properties

I have set the correct proton to use for said game in the Aurora settings

I load the game in windowed mode

Aurora and the game start ok but the Aurora launcher just freezes on the home page of the launcher and doesn't let me select any of the options

And once I minimise the Aurora launcher it just goes black

I have previously run Aurora fine on my deck so I don't know why it's not working after a fresh install and a fresh factory reset of my deck

I have reinstalled aurora because I factory reset my deck

Cannot understand why it keeps freezing at the home screen of the launcher

Please advise when possible

Regards Lloyd

Hi ljhr85

When you restore Steam Deck you lost the proton versions your previous system settings. So I will start with first enabling Developer Mode on the Steam Deck settings. Next I would use Protonup-QT and download different proton versions and try those. Lastly, run it on desktop.

First off, great work. Love seeing more linux stuff even if it's just for the steam deck.

Second, I know there is no official support for linux desktops but I did want to ask if anyone in the community has tried it anyway. I'm thinking of trying and tinkering knowing well that it may not work.

I'm running Linux Mint (edge) and keep it up to date. 21.3 x86_64

Has anyone tried and had any luck with the steam deck version even though it's not officially supported?

I know we have a few who tried it and reported issues which I've addressed so they were able to use it. But I dont know if they are using Mint distribution. If you want to buy it and use it outside the steam deck, you bear the risk all by yourself
