While unimportant due to the method these shortcuts are being created, it should be noted that the default path for 32-bit versions of Windows is located in C:\Program Files\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\ in 64-bit versions of the operating system.

Just an FYI – pressing F5 toggles between StarCraft legacy and Remastered so the shortcut does not need changing. Steam shortcut codes for Activision's non-Blizzard game titles, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, as well as all of Blizzard's Battlenet launcher games – including StarCraft Remastered, World of Warcraft Classic and Warcraft III: Reforged are listed following the Battlenet Game Shortcut Codes section.įor this guide, I will be using StarCraft to demonstrate: The Steam overlay has been tested and confirmed that ALL games tied to the Battlenet Launcher run flawlessly – even in Big Picture mode, In-Home Streaming and Steam Link hardware. Moreover, the file path will not break with updated versions of the launcher.

This method does not need any scripts, installers, or attempts to bypass the Battlenet Launcher altogether.

When I stumbled upon this process (which I modified from another YouTube video suggestion), I was shocked by how deceptively easy it was. I also wanted to share this with others who were also frustrated by suggested methods that were tedious, outdated or simply did not work. This guide is sort of an updated companion of my YouTube tutorial because I wanted to take screenshots from my favorite Blizzard games and play on my TV using the Steam Link.
