Add Diablo 4 to Steam

In this section, we will take you through the steps to fix the error by adding Diablo 4 to Steam.

First, you have to add the game to your list of games on Steam and then you can simply launch it from there.
This action should hopefully resolve any issues you were facing with the game.
If you have the game on a different platform like Battle.net and want to launch it through Steam, then open Steam and click Add a Game in the bottom left corner.
Select Add a non-Steam game. Use the Browse option to navigate to the directory where the game is installed.
Choose the main game executable file e.g., Diablo.exe, and click Open.
This will add the game to your Steam library.
If the game is not already enabled in your Steam library, you must enable it.
The game should now appear in your Steam library as a non-Steam game e.g., Diablo. You can launch it by clicking on the game in your library.

After that, launch the game to test if this adjustment resolves the issues you were facing.
If you own the game on Steam, then search for it in your library, right-click it, and access the properties. Follow the same steps on the controller tab to enable or disable Steam Input as necessary.

If you own the game on Battlenet and are experiencing issues, you have to close Steam entirely.

This software may help resolve issues with the game. It’s important to note that DS4 Windows and X360ce are separate pieces of software, and their use depends on your specific controller and needs.
