It's time for another Xfire release! A new
beta version of Xfire is available for testing.
Download Xfire Beta 1.95a nowExit Xfire. Copy 95a.exe to your Xfire data installation directory (usually c:\Program Files\Xfire\ on XP and c:\ProgramData\Xfire on Vista) and run it to update your Xfire. If you don't know how to do this, then you probably should not be attempting to beta test Xfire. To verify that this worked, go to the Help | About box. The beta version of Xfire will report build 33143.
Notes:
- There were quite a few bug fixes with group voice chats, particularly with the Xfire In-Game interface. Try out the mute button as well.
- Try out "flashback" video recording (enable in Tools | Options | Videos). This records video of the last few seconds of game play continuously; hit scroll lock + v to start writing video to disk starting a few seconds in the past. This does use a lot of CPU time, however.
Please restrict discussion of the beta to this blog thread. This is to help us track your feedback. We are interested in your experiences with the new beta, specifically anything that goes horribly wrong. Thanks for your help!
