Technical Support Note:Integrating Xfire In-Game with dozens of games is complicated and difficult. If you notice any problems with a game you play immediately after updating Xfire, please try disabling Xfire In-Game by going to the Tools menu, Options, Chat tab, and clear the check box labeled “Show chat messages in game”. Then, exit Xfire through the Xfire menu, Exit. Logging out is not enough–you must exit Xfire and restart it for the change to take effect. You can see which games are supported by Xfire In-Game on our games page.

Enjoy!
