Download Xfire 1.90

Xfire yesterday released version 1.90 of its eponymous chat program, which is mainly intended for avid gamers. It is possible to chat in Xfire both inside and outside games via text and speech. Furthermore, statistics are kept of the performance in various games, you can see which games the people from your contact list are playing at that moment and game patches and demos can be downloaded via a private P2P network. At the moment, just over a thousand games are supported, 175 of which are the so-called ‘one click join‘ and over 500 ‘in game chat‘ support. The changelog for this release shows the following changes:
