How to get Xfire to work for games on Vista

[The Cheese Lady]

I'm not really a big fan of xfire and they really pissed me off when they disable TF2 on xfire for vista users. But this strange guy made a useful video of how to enable all of the disabled games you want.

I tried it out, and it works. Even though he sounds a little drunk and irritated, he does know what he's talking about...sort of.

Thanks Cheese.


Here's a summary of the video (without the painful presentation):

Find the File to Edit (xfire_games.bak)
1. Open Xfire
2. Click on the Videos (Bottom) Icon on the left
3. Right Click on "Source Videos"
4. Select "Open Directory"

Edit the File
5. Open xfire_games.bak (May need to associate the file type with NotePad)
6. Find the game you want to enable
7. Delete "|DISABLE_FOR_VISTA" under that game (at the end of the section)
8. Save the File
9. Restart Xfire
