Steamlink, ESO

Walkerie · 29 Nov 2017 at 12:38

Hi

I have a steamlink setup in the lounge which works fine with most games using my wireless ps4 controller.

I dont have eso for steam so its linked via non steam game and launches fine. I login select gamepad mode on pc and then go downstairs to living room. I can see my character ingame and all the icons are ps4 but the controller doesnt do anything at all.

Any ideas? would virtualhere solve this? ive tried all different settings

it seems to work on PC directly if connected via a cable and using DS4windows. any clues?

Ah okay...

I got Origin games working by starting the client first and then minimising the client and starting the game from a non steam game shortcut in steam.

I think? ESO uses it's own client for launching if you do not have the Steam version? So suggest it would be worth doing something like the above.

It would be easier to re-buy the game in Steam. It was ~£5 in the Steam sale. You just need it to be launch able via Steam, you can still log into your normal account from there afaik.

Ive got morrowind too would that be able to change over?

No. Seperate platforms do not link like that. You can own the sims 3 with every single expansion on origin but if u want it on Steam u must buy it all again.

I'm not sure, I did what I said but I don't have Morrowind. There's a free weekend starting tomorrow (30th) on Steam. You could add it to your Steam account, and see how it would work out.

was just about to reply to say that as well. so this is ideal, if it doesnt work on steam then ive got some sort of other issue

Cant comment on the ps4 controller but I used a xbox wired controller, basically had to reconfigure all my controls upstairs at the comp each time before going downstairs.. It drove me nuts after 3 day and i just gave up playing it on the steam link. Mines was the non steam version. Its been that long i cant give a better description of how i did it sorry.

Works perfectly with steams version of ESO. Unfortunately I linked a new account rather than my old one so contacted support to see if I can reset it.
