Unrecognized Game through Xfire

[Derek]

If you are still having problems with In-Game messaging since the latest Xfire update, please enable in game debugging and send us a log file by doing the following:

1. Make sure Xfire is not running.
2. Go to the Xfire root directory (C:\Program Files\Xfire is the default)
3. Open the ua_plugin.ini file.
4. The first few lines should look like this:
[-1]
LongName=Unknown Game
ShortName=unknown
Icon=unknown.ico
CanBeUpForGame=TRUE

5. Add the line InGameDebug=1 so it now looks like this.
[-1]
InGameDebug=1
LongName=Unknown Game
ShortName=unknown
Icon=unknown.ico
CanBeUpForGame=TRUE

6. Close and Save the .ini file.

Now Xfire will create debugging logs every time you run it. Run the game you are having trouble with. Try using Scroll Lock + X to bring up Xfire In Game. Quit the game and look for the debug log in your Xfire directory.

Attach the log file to an email titled “Toucan Log” to [e-mail] and include your system specs and which games you cannot get In Game messages with.
