Are you using the track pad, or a separate mouse. I know in the past Ive had issues with the on screen keyboard, and had to use a Bluetooth keyboard. Maybe you're experiencing something similar with your mouse?
@@jaredconyers I think I found the solution. I've been using the trackpad. I could only use screen touch to manage cursor. However, to fix it, you can just simply go to controller settings and set right trackpad as a mouse - this will fix it, but in order to click I have to still use screen, or I'd need to map one of ABXY into mouse click which can cause gameplay worse
Everything works up until 3:15. I install it to my downloads folder to move it to a desktop folder i create, but no files appear except for the original setup.exe, so it just re-installs everytime. Any suggestions?
I'm wondering if it has to do with where you're setting your folder at? There's another option (that's much easier) that I just made a video about, which may be a better option.

I saved mine on my SD card and made a specific folder for bnet and associated games. If it saved to the steam deck, it's probably "somewhere" in the compdata folder: /home/deck/. steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata
@jaredconyers ohh man, I'll be doing that for ever. Luckily right now I'm just a level 10 DK. So, I have a long time before I have to worry too much lol
@@jaredconyers I'm wondering some things about the addon. With using R1 and L1 to switch page for our abilities. Can we make it where we get more pages on that spot and single click each page?
Do you have everything saved on the steam deck? If yes, do you have it in the proper compdata folder: /home/deck/. steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata (then you'll need to find the WoW folder and addons from there)
Your guide worked perfectly. But strangely when I try to start wow in gaming mode the screen goes black and everything restarts. But when I run in desktop mode, everything works perfectly ?
I wonder if the bnet launcher needs an update? When it does, I have difficulties running in gaming mode, and need to go into desktop to update the launcher. Also, are you having the launcher force close once a game starts. If not, I wonder if that's impacting it any
Just followed this without a bluetooth mouse/keyboard with a horrifying combo of the corekeyboard application and using steam+right trackpad to force the mouse cursor in battlenet. I don't have an external drive, so anyone else following this after me .... if you save to C:/ as is the default setting, to add the launcher to steam you need to "show hidden folders" in the file explorer, then /home/deck/. steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata and open the numbered folder with the most recent date access. I'm nothing if not grimly determined to play hearthstone in the most inefficient way possible
I've done this enough times that I just can't do it without a bluetooth mouse/keyboard; using the onscreen one is rough, so kudos for you in making it. Thanks for calling out the compdata location also. I hope you are successful in your Hearthstone playing on this device.
are you doing this with the deck docked to a computer? cause when I do it from the deck itself everytime I try to log into battle net the mouse & keyboard freezes everytime. I could still use the touchscreen but even when I try to input my info it will go away it’s completely useless.
So I was not docked for this. I did use mouse and keyboard (plugged in keyboard via usb c) for the set up process. I was having issues where the on screen keyboard wouldn't allow me to type/log in once battlnet was installed.
@@urassdontlie8 I had the same issue when setting it up. The only thing I was able to do on my end was actually connect a keyboard (via usb c) to help enter my username/password.
Need help, downloaded addons through curse forge but the game doesnt load with any add ons button anyone else had same problem or has solution? the addons are in the correct file (programme files x89) in interface and addons but like mentioned dont show up in game
Just wanted to check, have you launched the game once first? Normally I have to launch the game, quit, and restart before the add-ons folder shows in game
@@jaredconyers Yes I can fully play the game just the addons do not show thats the only issue also tried manual install without curseforge app but no success

Hey man thank for the videos, I’ve install battle net and wow classic on my program files all good I can start the game from my desktop mode but look like it can’t get the console port to work, I’ve follow your instruction but in my wow classic files there is no addons files, I’ve created on but no add on appeir in my game menu :(
I downloaded the installer and placed it as a non steam game, it runs and I install the client, even manage to install diablo 4. But the moment I closed that installer exe form steam, everything got wiped out. No more battle net or Diablo 4 install. What as I doing wrong? Seems to happen to everything, I install using the add non steam game.
Dolphin does not appear to show the file directory for the World of Warcraft folder. I am wondering if this is an issue with proton or Dolphin? Though I can load WoW, I cannot extract addons into the appropriate directory. When I tried modifying access through the terminal as sudo user, it couldn't even see it either. Suggestions (other than get an SD card)?
So I've never actually raided, but Ive done BG's and heroics with no issues. I know a raid may be more intensive (especially larger raids) but I would "think" that you'd be fine
Honestly, force of habit. I've used the Xbox option since before they had a SD option. After I saw your question, I checked between the two options, doesn't look like there's much of a difference except the SD had mappings for a P1/2/3/4. I'm assuming these are for the back paddle buttons, but I couldn't get it to register. But honestly, either option you choose it's pretty much the same.
@@jaredconyers maybe u need to enable the back paddle buttons in the non-steam Battle-net entry itself? kinda how you'd do it with regular games by enabling Steam Input in Controller Settings, etc.
Not yet. I was actually thinking about that the other day, but don't currently own WC3: Reforged. If you do try it, you'll have to let me know how it is!
Unfortunately no (unless you're utilizing Windows on your Steam deck). Bc of the limitations of Linux and Steam OS, it is not compatibile with the Anti-cheat software for Call of Duty.
Nope! While the setup needs to take place in desktop mode, once you actually have it all set up and in your steam library, you can launch the battlement launcher (and then a specific game) from gaming mode.
I'm having issues getting my keyboard to type more than 1 letter before closing the keyboard and when I reopen it, it automatically erases the only letter I could add. Any possible solutions to this? Edit: Disregard. I saw your comment about the use for a keyboard to get past this. I ordered a docking station to I can plug my keyboard and mouse in and hopefully finish watching your video tomorrow with another edit of success! :) Final Edit: I got everything working thanks to your video and by also following along with this video too: th-cam.com/video/M3_TaZNFYXw/w-d-xo.html Thank you again! ^_^
I know you already saw the comment, but yeah, I had a small keyboard I plugged in (usb-c) and used that to complete that step. It was very annoying how the on screen keyboard kept disappearing :/
Thanks so much for the video man. Really well done and explained.
Appreciate it!
2:31 doesn’t work for me here. I’ve tried bunch of proton versions but it always ends up in freeze - I can’t move my cursor at all
