To add at xfire_games.ini under C:\Programs\XFire. You can broadcast video and use the keyboard at the same time now.

Broadcasts fine. Just don't open the xfire interface in-game, or you'll crash.

Anyone get this to work with Vista64 ? I can get it working under XP32 but cant find the same files to modify

[Nicholas 5]

I am on Win7 64bit and i got no xfire_games.ini, i even created a new ini and it dont work, its somewhere else for 64bit users....the question is: Where?

EDIT: Did a search on my pc for it, i found it in

"C:\ProgramData\xFire"

NOTE: You may need to enable Hidden folders to see it.

Thanks for this alef! I have this working, and broadcasting works great. My friends and acquaintances express their gratitude toward you!

I don't know where to mention this, so i made this thread. Everyone who wants to mention their broadcasts should put their broadcast links here.

My friend at the moment is broadcasting arma 2:

Can get it broadcasting BUT can't get access to xfire ingame. ScrollLock+X crashes Arma2. Anyone get any further ?

I recently became aware of another tool that will allow you to broadcast/view broadcasts.

Dyyno

With the Dyyno Broadcast Channel you can broadcast and watch live content — videos, games, images, music, your desktop —while chatting with your friends and colleagues.

Merging into the existing Xfire broadcasting thread.

Search before posting please, it's another forum rule you seem to have missed ;)

What do you think xfire uses to broadcast? ;)

Hello

Is Xfire going to support arma 2 ? Now that it has been released in America i would have thought Xfire would have updated but so far it hasnt happened, Arma was supported. Does anyone know if it is going to be supported or not ?

Dignity.

[ck-claw 1]

What happened with Arma 1 is that once it was released in US wasnt long after xfire supported it!

[Dignity 10]

Ok cheers. I like to use xfire for my fps and to record/live feed videos. I was just wondering incase it slips through Xfire's fingers.

Dignity

[wooly-back-jack 10]

thought xfire would have pulled their finger out by now!

[kremator 1064]

They REALLY need to get their fingers out.

[Gonzo89 10]

They won't add it until it's out in the US, this always happens with the PES series, takes them ages to support.

noticed a friend of a friend playing Arma2 on Xfire but it seems Xfire only wants to support the steam version? :/

If your friend can look in the xfire.ini file and copy all the bits for Arma2 in there we can all all put it in manually.

works, I have done mine. Xfire ingame chat doesn't work though. When Xfire updates it will overwrite anyway :)

[ck-claw 1]

Xfire d/loaded an update for me this morning-looking in the files,ArmA2 is indeed in there!

Suppose just waiting for the d/load/update to kick in?

[overk1ll 10]

Yeah, I noticed the demo doesn't show up either, they are usually on the ball with that.

[Shinobi575 10]

Quick Turtoil for those who dont have any idea WTF is going on.

Go to C:/Program Files/Xfire

Open your " xfire_games " file with Notepad

scroll all the way down till you see this

Delete that the above image and copy and paste this in where that used to be,

[5856_2]

LongName=ARMA 2

ShortName=arma2

LauncherDirKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\InstallPath

LauncherExe=arma2.exe

DetectExe=arma2.exe

LauncherNetworkArgs=-connect=%UA_GAME_HOST_NAME%

_GAME_HOST_PORT%

Launch=

_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH%

_LAUNCHER_EXTRA_ARGS%

_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS%

Save, Exit X-fire, Reopen it,

Go to Tools>Options>Games-if you don't see it in your Installed Games, Scroll down, Click "Not Installed" and find the Arma 2 Icon, Double click and manually find the path where your Arma 2.exe would be, for example mine is C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2. Now you can piss all of your friends off that dont have the game yet :D
