Hey there! I’m trying to run my project natively on steam deck, but after using the launch option, I see the following error:
LogPlayLevel: UAT: Password: System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot read keys when either application does not have a console or when console input has been redirected. Try Console.Read.
Additional info:
- I have installed the required SDK for linux: v22_clang-16.0.6-centos7
- The project is in c++, and I use Jetbrains Rider to compile and run the editor
- If I package the project for windows, I can send it to the Deck and it works fine using proton, but I want a faster way to debug, that’s why I want to fix the native launch option
- Also tried running the project from vistual studio 2022, and using the “external console” option in Rider
Here is the full output log:
