    No XIG support for some added games?

    Could someone from the staff explain me how it comes that some games already added to Xfire's library receive zero XIG features? I mean especially the older ones I want to play like Age of Empires or Pharaoh. It would very come in handy if all games received XIG support, what stops that?

    I may not work for xfire but i can tell you that not all games support or can use XIG for compatibility issues some older games just can't be used with XIG as there is no way to hook into certain older games like Dos games can't have XIG at all same for most Windows 95 games can't use XIG i hope you understand this now.

    Kinda chaotic post, but it's ok.
    I see no other replies, so I'll ask in other way: Steam can hook pretty much to every game without problems, how is it different from Xfire's hooking method?

    For example, I can't get XIG for Guilty Gear XX: #Reload, but screens, videos and broadcasting functions still do work.

    Sorry about my earlier post. It seems this game should work for XIG, i found it in the xfire_games.ini file i also fixed what you called it, is this the one your talking about:

    [5440_1]
    LongName=Guilty Gear x2 Reload
    ShortName=ggx2r
    LauncherDirDefault=C:\Program Files\ZOO Digital Publishing\GUILTY GEAR X2 #RELOAD\
    LauncherExe=ggx2.exe
    Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% %UA_LAUNCHER_EXTRA_ARGS% %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS%
    InGameRenderer=D3D8
    InGameFlags=USE_PRESENT|ENABLE_MOUSE
    ?
    You might want to try and mess around with the InGameFlags= or the InGameRenderer= to see if you can get XIG to work correctly since i do not own this game i can not test this out myself.
    One question do you know which Renderer this game uses other then the one stated on that code?
