Debugging Diablo 3 with Steam Link and Steam Controller

So I really wanted to use my Steam Controller to play Diablo 3. However, when I added it to Steam and then launched it in Steam Link with the Controller, the sound came through fine, but the Steam Link would not display the actual game playing. Here are some quick recommendations

  • When you add Diablo 3 to steam, go ahead and click the auto program link that pops up, once it has been added to the library: Right Click > Properties > Target > and change this from the Diablo III Launcher.exe to Diablo III.exe. 
  • If you did this properly you should actually see the Diablo III Icon switch from the Red Icon to the Blue Reaper of Souls one, it also means you will have to manually sign into your Blizzard account when the game first launches
  • Since I had the launcher set before, the steam controller was only in the desktop configuration, but once you have it launching the actual game you can see the community configurations for it. The very top one with the most downloads is quite good
  • Once I switched it to the game instead of the launcher it also worked for Steam Link fine.
