Xfire In-Game Internet Browser

Xfire now has an In-Game internet browser (Alpha), here you can see it running inside COD4.

Because it's in alpha stages, bugs can be expected.

Quote:

"Shh. Here's how to enable and test it in your favorite game. Remember, this is very alpha still so if you enable it and it doesn't work exactly as you expect, we probably already know about the bug.

1. Make sure Xfire is not running (Exit Xfire).
2. In your Xfire folder, open the xfire_games.ini.
3. Find the Guild Wars entry.
4. Copy the text on the InGameFlags line that says:

ENABLE_BROWSER

5. Now find the games.ini entry for the game you wish to enable it on.

Be sure Xfire In-game messaging already works for you in the game you are adding the XIG web browser to.

6. On the InGameFlags line of the game you wish to enable, add a pipe (shift + \ ) and paste the flag on the end of the line so it looks like this (using WoW for my example):

InGameFlags=ENABLE_MOUSE|ENABLE_BROWSER

7. Save the games.ini file and run Xfire.
8. Launch the game and press scroll lock + X to bring up XIG.
9. Click the Options button (wrench icon) and check the box for 'Display In Game Browser'.

Congratulations. If you followed my steps correctly, you should now have a working web browser in your game.

Known issues:

There a few obvious issues like no blinking cursor in text fields (but your can still type in them) and WMV content does not play quite right yet. We've blocked pop-up type windows so downloading files from in game or installing plug-ins (flash etc.) will not work. But we are addressing all these issues in future updates.

Thanks for checking out the XIG Web Browser. Tell us what you think!"

how i open Xfire in-game? pls reply!

[gamesadict]

Scroll Lock + X while in the game.

From there, you get several options for what to do next, as it has a pretty neat UI.

But first of all, make sure you have Xfire correctly installed, and that Xfire has detected your game.

How do I enlarge it?

[gamesadict]

In the bottom right corner of the browser window there is some kind of arrow, click and drag that arrow to enlarge the window.

[machiavelli1109]

How can i enable it????

[gamesadict]

Read the video description. Right now there are more games getting the browser support by default, if the one you want doesnt work, read the instructions in the description.

@SuperNova20202020 Yeha it also thought ti wuld be cool, so i decided to try, there ay be some way u can make the game nt close, but when i tried it just closed the game T_T

[SuperNova20202020]

Really?

Damn, that sort of defeats the object of having a second monitor when gaming with one of them.

[WeztNinja]

Dual moniter is crap! if u clik the second monitor the game closes (dosent stop, but it closes) and i have to re-open every time

[SuperNova20202020]

This is good for when you dont have dual monitors.

I will use this until I get enough money to get a cheap second monitor.
