    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.

    RE: No Xfire within DDO

    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.

    RE: No Xfire within DDO

    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?

    RE: No Xfire within DDO

    I just got windows 7 and I had the same issues, though it has been solved thanks to this thread. I too would love some support for DX10 so that we can play this game properly with awesome settings (again, I'd add, because I'm pretty sure I played it with DX10 graphics before...:\ Is it just an issue that Win 7 has?)

    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.

    RE: No Xfire within DDO

    This worked for me. Go back to DX9 and it now works like it should. Seems kinda strange but oh well. Any idea if/when this will be updated?

    Re: No Xfire within DDO

    Xfire or game update ? Which one broke the support ?

    Also, please open Xfire, Options, Games tab and look at the selected renderer for the game. Xfire supports DX9, DX10 and DX11 renderers for the game, please select the good one according to your game.
