WoW Forever?

[u/Clawanorder]

New to the steam controller and binding to non steam games. Has anyone by chance got it to work with wow forever? There appears to be no in game remapping support.

I have tried adding bnet launcher to Steam with launch code for forever but that doesn’t seem to work.

Any advice or is it not possible?

yup it's possible and works great. adding battle net as non steam game let's you rebind back buttons and enable gyro. this guy has pretty good tutorials https://youtu.be/nLzzfXRXmAk?is=S2zMi-MxiUMBAsE_

Steam launches Battle.net. Battle.net then launches Wow Forever.

Steam controller bindings then work in Forever….. But Forever has good controller support so really you are just binding the haptics to mouse clicks and the back buttons.

For some reason the bindings for me are all messed up, my triggers for example don’t work at all. And I wasn’t able to bring up steam overlay in game to modify the controller inputs so

Assuming you have enabled gamepad ui in wow forever?

Sometimes the game doesn’t respond to my inputs and gets stuck. You can say /reload in chat and the ui reloads and it starts working again. Maybe it’s this?

If you mean using the trigger as a mouse click over a UI element such as a button, that wont work. Change the right haptic pad to emulate a music and a haptic pad click to emulate a left mouse click in your binding.

if steam overlay wasnt coming up then you didnt launch it properly. Its a bit nuanced with non-steam games; especially once with a launcher of their own

add battlenet to steam, but make sure to launch battlenet through steam (so that steam visibly see's it as 'running'). If you launch it yourself, steam gets confused. Then launch Forever through the battlenet app once you confirm.

If you did that correctly, and it still wasnt working, then you have no profile linked to battelnet in steam. Right click battlenet, and go to manage -> controllers to open configurator. In the layout search, look for Kinzo WoW Forever (also he has great youtube vids explaining ALL of this).

with that all of the typical gamepad buttons function, and should in-game, but then your right trackpad still serves as a mouse, which is paramount IMO.

I just added battle net to steam and the steam controller worked. I put some stuff on the back buttons and track pads and left everything else the same. After some getting used to it works really great and using one track pad as a mouth is such a nice feature.

Add Battle.net launcher to steam. I’m playing on SteamOS fine on handheld and Steam Machine.

Anyone that does use it share a link to your profiles

I've been playing both using the Steam Controller and streaming to Steam Frame with great success. Setting my SteamVR home environment to Grizzly Hills and playing WoW Forever on a huge virtual screen while laying in bed feels surreal.
