Hello everyone, and thank you for viewing this how-to video.
In this tutorial, I will show you how to easily add the Steam overlay to Blizzard games
without the need of scripts or installers, and the file path will not break
whenever there is a new version of the Battle.net Launcher.
I will be demonstrating this process with Hearthstone... a free Blizzard game
that I have not tested prior to putting together this video.
First, click on Games in your Steam client
and select Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library.
From there, a list of installed programs will populate.
Locate Battle.net and check the empty box in front of it,
then click Add Selected Programs.
Go to your Games Library and look for Battle.net.
Once found, right click and select Properties.
In the Target field, notice Battle.net Launcher.exe
Remove "Launcher" in the Target field until it says battle.net.exe (without any spaces).
Next, click on the end quotation and add a space,
and then type: battlenet:// followed by the abbreviation
of the Blizzard game you would like to run with the Steam overlay.
For example, to run Hearthstone with the Steam overlay,
the Target shortcut should look similar to
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net\Battle.net.exe" battlenet://WTCG
...or wherever the drive and install location may be.
Not only will this default to the selected Blizzard game in the Battle.net Launcher,
it will download necessary game updates before running.
Be sure to change the name of your Battle.net shortcut
so it will display the Blizzard game in your Steam status to your friends.
It is also recommended to exit the Battle.net Launcher completely
before launching a Blizzard game from Steam, otherwise your "In Non-Steam Game" status
will not update when exiting the game instead of the Launcher.
This can be configured from the General section in your Battle.net Launcher's Settings.
A side note... It could take up to 30 seconds for your Steam status to reset after exiting the game.
I have tested and uploaded in-game screenshots from
Diablo 3, Overwatch, and Heroes of the Storm
from the Steam overlay without any issues.
I would assume this works similarly for all Blizzard games
tied to the Battle.net Launcher,
but I am not 100% certain as I do not own every Blizzard game to confirm.
If you have World of Warcraft or Starcraft 2 and would like to try to
add a Steam overlay using this method, please let me know by
posting your results in the comments. I would very much appreciate it!
Abbreviations for each Blizzard game to put into the non-Steam games shortcut are in the description below.
Thank you everyone for watching and Happy Gaming!
