Thread: No Xfire within DDO

I start X-Fire before any games, Launch DDO from X-Fire, X-Fire Shows I am playing DDO, it shows Friends that are playing DDO.

No X-Fire functions are available in game, I have to alt+tab to X-fire in order to respond to messages, or to answer or start voice chat.

It does not function within DDO.

I use the US version of DDO, it did the same thing on the Mod9 beta.

Any other game I start, the X-Fire ingame window shows up, and I have full control of X-Fire.

Game in Full Screen or Windowed Mode, same result. Any other game, it works like it should.

Other people that I play DDO with have the same issues, I've tried changing keyboard commands, uninstalling and reinstalling, no difference.


Suggestions Please.

You have to switch to DX9 in-game if you want it to work right.

I thought that maybe it'd work if you just changed the settings with xfire by doing this:
"You can change the settings to use directx 10 in an ini file.
Goto C:\ProgramData\Xfire and edit xfire_games
Search for Dungeons &
Change D3D9 to D3D10 (line w/ InGameRenderer)
Save, restart xfire etc etc."

However, the overlay stuff doesn't work, the scroll-lock commands do though. I took two screenshots of my login screen :P
Bah. How stinky =(

An eta on Xfire compatability with DDO DX10 wuold be nice. The game looks so much better in DX10.

Oh great, I might be able to get it to take screenshots in dx10!

Now if it'd only show accurate time played. Sucks that it "lost" 10 hours of gameplay over the last few days while there's a contest on.

EDIT: It found 3 of the lost hours. And screenshots are working now, thanks.

I forgot to mention I run Windows 7 so it's DX11, I'll check and see if the DX10 stuff is listed and if that makes a difference, it's really frustrating cause there aren't any problems with any other games I regularly play.

Disabling the DX10 seems to have done the trick, tried playing with the ini file a bit doesn't seem to have changed much.

did a test vid and some test screen shots, ss seemed to a little dark but everything seems to be working now.

hopefully we get a fix for DX11 soon.

Thanks for the help.

is there anyway at all to get our lost hours back??? i had bout 8-12 hours today, and it didnt record any of it, which sux, since this contest is about the hours logged in, even tho i been using xfire for 2yrs now in ddo. not we can get extra stuff from it, and it not counting hours :/

Thanks to this forum I dropped from DX10 to DX9 and xfire in game started working. Any Idea when this will be fixed so that I can go back to playing with dx10 and still have my xfire?

Xfire does not support dx10 rendering for this game. The game either refuses to start or crashes upon xfire's rendering, therefore, dx10 interface is not available to this game.

I can't find the files I need to change to fix this...

EDIT: Got it THANKS

ok it WAS working but with the new update it stopped again...how to fix this time?

Still can't get it to work would really like to be able to SS and take Vids of raids...

Does NO ONE have a solution to this problem?!?

Necro to a 3 year old thread (that has already been solved over 2 months ago) nicely done...
