If u want to make a video worth watching then explain how to permanently disable xfire game detection for all games on xfire xtartup..

"some crash problems" ? obviously you are a great program expert :) haha

[mario11168]

@djevlendk Where did I say I was a program expert?

Right. Your statement is invalid.

[RockRabbitsTV]

mann muss xfire einfach nur als admin ausführen, dann gehts

[lilalolpop]

fly for fun :D

[Skaarjz]

Guys Vista kinda gay too me my windows XP can detect all of my GAMES

[mario11168]

@Skaarjz That's only because every single game today is made for XP. That's gonna change over the next few years though.

[YoFreakable]

[TheWimmser]

You have hidden the Tabs, press ALT button if you are on the folder and you see up those things..  Tools->Folder Options and Show Hidden Folders

[Assasins30Media]

i cant find the xfire/games...

[Cainbale01]

my xfire doesnt work for battlefield bad company 2, and I cant find the "DISABLE FOR VISTA" sentence in the text document 'xfire_games', why?

[mario11168]

I don't think this exists anymore, it's an old video. For BCBF2, you're probably playing in DX10 graphics instead of DX9. Go into Xfire>Tools>Options>Games and find BCBF2 as an installed game. Then on the right you should find "Direct X Technology" or something like that, then set it to DX10 if it's on DX9, or the other way around.

[Cainbale01]

@mario11168 ah, that's no prob, I fixed fraps full so recording isn't a problem anymore, but thanks anyway

[Cainbale01]

Hi, I can't find the text "DISABLE FOR VISTA" for any game in the text document 'xfire_games', why? and xfire is still disabled because I can't record or notice anything at all in the game Battlefield Bad Company 2, PLEASE HELP!!!

[besthalo2player]

when i connect my games to xfire, it has horrible lag, it says its connectedd on the out-game xfire, but in-game xfire it isnt connected. Any help!

[likeXtheXunder]

[RobinMoviesOffical]

[bobob0000]

[viruceae]

[youngin843]

i cant find the xfire_games folder thing

[liveuk]

Before teaching learn!

[stickgore]

why wont it work for SA-MP

[RickyVanchez300]

yeah how to i get this to work with halo 2???

[mario11168]

I don't think Xfire is disabled for Halo 2..

[KPSpark]

@mario11168 Same here. Only Halo 2 did work with Xfire for a while, it just recently stopped working for some reason. Any ideas?

[mario11168]

@KPSpark No idea

[yoessa325]

xfire wont detect starcraft i've tried manual detection and reinstalling nothing helps. can you help

[mario11168]

Starcraft doesn't work well with Xfire. I would just forget it and play the game :)

[BigBrother1993]

i own vista i enjoy it and play top spec games alot

[mario11168]

I don't know why people say Vista sucks. It works 10x better than XP.

[BigBrother1993]

cuz they dont try it and asume the worse

[cetko13]

well, i use many DOS-based apps, and some automatically initialize in fullscreen(vista is not compatible with DOS fullscreen) try worms armageddon if you don't believe me

[lmcgregoruk]

Most Worms games I played didn't work very well in XP.

Besides Worms Armageddon is NOT a DOS based game, its a win9x based game. And if you want to use ACTUAL DOS games such as worms and worms reinforcements, try DosBox.

[darkmasterofssbb]

well

i have xp and vista

my thought

vista has better graphics and stuff

but it crshs alot (depends what u do )

were xp has crap qulity and bearly crash's (unless u have a virus)

oh and vista has ulmost NO virus's

[mario11168]

Vista has less problems than XP in my experience, and yeah it has like no viruses lol.

[ZaloxxGTAS]

=/ I have windows 7 and it doesnt work =/

[mario11168]

And you're surprised?

[ZaloxxGTAS]

Yes and no

[Blindar]

vista is for people who are computer illiterate

[mario11168]

Lol, those are Macs.

Vista's for people who actually use other things before saying they're bad. If you ask me, Vista is way better than XP. Why? Vista doesn't screw up every second, it doesn't have a broken search tool, and it doesn't take a year to close MS Word.

[Zuon94]

Whenever I run EDuke32 (Duke Nukem 3D,) it seems xfire just won't work. I haven't really tried any other games, because there aren't really any others that I could just Run, play a few seconds, and exit out. The reason why is because I want to test out Xfire's video recorder, but as far as I can tell, there are no icons or sounds letting you know if Xfire is running.

I don't think it should be disabled if it shows up in Xfire's game database, but whatever.

[crysisman14]

crappy vid.

[mario11168]

You like Crysis, so no wonder.

[TarikProductions]

Why not , Crysis pwns Fly for fun. But I understand, cuz vista is not made for big games such as Crysis & ,...eeh..eeh what ever

[mario11168]

The only people who say Vista sucks are people who don't use it. My Vista runs Crysis on Very High in DX10 just perfectly fine, with no lag what so ever. Vista feels no different than XP other than needing more RAM..

[newman30000010]

i have Vista and XP :P

[mario11168]

Uh OK?

Every. Single. Person. I know has an XP computer if they have a Vista.. No big surprise.

[hawker445]

HOW THEHELL DO YOU START A SESSION FOR GAMEs??????

[mario11168]

What are you talking about?

I'm not sure if you even should be, seeing how you can't use spaces correctly, and you put a ton of "?" after your question.

[hawker445]

how to you start game sessions such as "il2 sturmovik" on xfire?

[tontray]

few porblems tell them to put ENABLE_FOR_VISTA Or Delete It Totally And Aftert The Flase Thing Make A New Line And Put RunElvated=1

[beanerico]

mine doesnt have the ingame thing

plz reply

[mario11168]

You have to restart Xfire and possibly your computer, and be sure to do it again after every update Xfire releases.

[xTheSaintx93]

yes i relize that its just for those who don't know how to thats a easier way to get in the folder.

[xTheSaintx93]

I don't know how to enable it but you can type this in: C:\ProgramData

[mario11168]

ProgramData is for Vista users only, and you have to enable hidden folders.

[TisJokar]

Nice, thanks for help.

[DarkPrince4492]

and yes i have vista

[DarkPrince4492]

my game and such work but what the problem is when i take a pic,video,broadcast all i get is a black screen anyone know what i can do to correct this?

[JasonNightingale]

I got Xfire on my D:\, programdata remains on the C:\

Some stuff you might wanna know.

1.ProgramData is always on the C: drive and almost always C:\ProgramData.

2. You can simply enter that C:\ProgramData in the adress bar of windows explorer, same result.

3. I have never needed to do this for some reason (using vista but everything is fine).

[bl00dyh4z4rd]

i have windows but i dont kno if any 1 can help but when i downloaded xfire and download soldier front with x fire i cant find soldier front i cant play soldier front with x fire can someone help me? or tell me wat i need to change or do please someone help :l

[tootsieroll875]

God ur stupid u dont even teach how to fucking find program data

[mario11168]

If you don't know how to enable hidden folders, you shouldn't be editing files that could screw up Xfire.

[tornadomen]

when i install flyff do i need to install xfire also so that i can play flyff???? because I am having a problem when logging in that says "you cannot connect from outside the service of flyff"

[mario11168]

No you don't have to do that, and if you are using Vista FlyFF and Xfire were said to have problems. They are disabled so the problems don't happen. If you aren't then you might wanna restart your computer or something.

[SpartanNick255]

i love flyff i play a little and im a lvl 33 mage and a lvl 23 merc

[mario11168]

29 assist XD

[Squallleonheartfan]

Thanks You helped me!! u deserve a Subscription from me!!

[Lawlfales]

Just put "ProgramData" after the drive.

[mario11168]

Riiight that was it thanks.

[Lawlfales]
