F.A.Q.

Can this give me a ban in a video game?

Support for all included games is tested to be sure not to trigger any anti-cheats or produce any suspicious behavior. With that said, the software is to be used at your own risk. We cannot prevent game developers from adding anti-cheats or blocking ways Aurora retrieves information from the game.

Are you going to support more devices?

Yes, we will try to support anything that has an SDK.

I can't find an option for my Device in the settings!

Those listed are purely different layouts, if your device is made by a brand that is supported, try selecting a device that has a similar layout to yours and see if that works! If not, check if the integration is connected under 'Device Manager', if you can't get it to connect, check if there is an issue open for your device, if not, feel free to open one.

Are you going to support more games?

Yes, we will be looking into requested games. You can suggest/request game support here.

Are you open to doing collaborations with other RGB projects or game companies?

Definitely! If you have a project that you think can fit Aurora, feel free to send me an e-mail.

I would like to request support for a game, how do I do that?

You can make suggestions by posting an issue here, outlining what you would like to request, and I will look over it.

Some keys in the program state that they are not supported. What does this mean?

It means that changes to those keys are not currently possible. When it's possible to change those keys via SDK, then their support will be added.

Aurora is constantly crashing! Help!

You can report crashes and other issues on Github. Please include a brief explanation of how to reproduce the crash and include the most recent log file. Log files can be located in the "%appdata%/Aurora/Logs" directory, or by going to Settings -> Debug and clicking 'Show Logs Folder'.

I have found a bug. How do I report it?

You can report bugs here, by creating a new Issue here. Before posting an issue, please try and see if there is an issue the same as yours that has already been posted, if not, then feel free to post a new one.

I wish to expand this, fix bugs, and add my own features.

Feel free to fork this repo and make pull requests with your own code. I am open for suggestions for both features and optimization. :)

What is the purpose of this utility?

The main goal of Aurora is to allow RGB peripheral devices to work alongside other RGB peripheral devices from other brands. Meaning, if you own a combination of Logitech, Razer, or Corsair peripheral devices, they should be able to work together.

Secondary goal of Aurora is to integrate RGB lighting into popular games. RGB lighting is a nifty feature that is often underused, and as a result gamers with RGB gear are unable to utilize the lighting effects that they paid for.

How do I get Razer Chroma lights (Overwatch, Apex, etc.) on non razer devices?

Note: This should work for all Aurora supported devices, not just for razer ones.

  1. Make sure you're running build v0.7.0 or above
  2. Open settings, go to the Devices and wrappers tab
  3. Click the sub-tab Razer
  4. Check if the supported version of the chroma sdk is installed and connected successfully
    • 4a. If it is, the text should be green and you can proceed,
    • 4b. If it's not, click the Install button, wait for it to finish and then restart Aurora
    • 4c. When Aurora starts up again, the Connection text should now say Success and turn Green.
  5. Click the profile of the game you want chroma lighting to be visible on (icons on the left side of the window)
  6. Add a "Razer Chroma Layer" to the top of the layer list
  7. Open the game, and make sure it's working!
    • 7a. Open some Chroma games, like Overwatch, the lighting doesn't actually start until you're in-game. Because of this, make sure to go into the training range or similar when testing.

Trooubleshooting:

  1. Aurora shows the sdk as being Connected (in devices and settings) and the razer layer still doesn't work! A: If you've patched the game using aurora's "Apply wrapper patch" button, you need to delete the two dll's Aurora places in the game directory: - RzChromaSDK.dll and RzChromaSDK64.dll
  2. The colors are too dim A: Open the Razer Chroma Layer of the profile you want to change, then tick the "Enable Color Post Process" checkbox and adjust the sliders as you want. 3.I can't find some of the options or menus mentioned A: You most likely don't have the correct build from step 1.
