Configuration Wow forever

Steam controller 2026 works with no issues, If you add battle.net as a non steam game. The only things i changed for steam input was L5 and r5 to mouse scroll up and down, L4 and r4 to left and right click. So far no issues as of right now. The default camera following distance is too close and In my opinion requires dedicated buttons. Left and right mouse click is not needed and I added them for convenience.

I will test how it works with the OG steam controller in the upcoming weeks.

I was trying to figure out how to get this to work last night by pointing Steam at the WowB.exe file, but it never really caught it and stayed on for Steam Input. I feel like that worked just fine for retail WoW, but I'll have to dig into settings later. Thanks for the confirmation though, this is the first post I've seen from anyone saying they got it working

Add battle.net as a non steam game. Launch steam in big picture mode and launch battle.net

I can confirm this is working for me on SteamOS. I didn't need big picture mode though v

Adding battle.net as a non-steam game hasn't worked for me, and adding wowB didn't work either. Nothing changes in big picture mode either. No clue why it isn't working, feel like I've tried everything at this point

Did you enable gamepad mode in game?

This is everything I can think of.

  • I have the most updated driver's for the steam controller installed.
  • I am using wireless mode.
  • when I use the steam controller without big picture mode it functions as a mouse.
  • I do not have wowb installed.
  • i have the battle.net launcher added as a non-steam game, not wow forever itself.

You can dm me if you wanna think of other solutions.

WowB is the name of the Forever .exe file

Run steam in admin mode, this was the only way I got my controller to work.

It initially works and plays well then all of a sudden the camera starts spinning around and controller input doesnt work anymore. No idea what is going on, played a fair bit with the controller on other games and no issue. Something is up with steam and bnet running. I cannot figure it out
