Additional Information

• If your computer has a touchscreen monitor (Ex: GPDWin) and you touch the screen, it will make the cursor disappear. You have to move the mouse to re-display the cursor. If using a GPDWin, switch it to mouse mode, move it around, then back to game controller mode.

• All games must use a Windowed fullscreen mode for the overlay to show. Please use 1920 x 1080 game display for the overlay to fit properly.

• If you want to use Steam to stream to your game, add Blizzard_Controller.exe as a game to Steam. After launching Blizzard_Controller, click the button "Start Battle.net". Otherwise I recommend using Rainway, Parsec or Moonlight for ease of use.

• Battle.net must have you logged in and be running in the background prior to Blizzard_Controller launching, or else you'll get a "Required application data not found" error message.

• Games (SC1, SC2, WC3) must be launched by the Steam remote user. Please have the games closed prior to the remote session starting or the controller will not work.

Xbox Controller Controls

• Left Joystick Press: Shift Key (queue work)

The in-game overlay will help guide you to which command button you want to press.
