    Do you still have Xfire on while gaming?

    If I'm gaming and someone writes to me on xfire, I get pissed off. So I never use xfire anymore when I'm in game and I don't like to be online when I'm doing something else neither so mostly I'm only on xfire when I'm working on the forums.

    Anyone else feel that xfire in-game was a cool idea at first but now its just annoying?

    Always on. I'm pretty much always online on Xfire, eve when I'm not at the computer :p

    I think it's great, and if you can't talk to someone, just say "wait a bit"

      I don't mind it. If you get a message and if you you don't want to talk to the person just ignore it until you get out of game.

        You know you can disable in-game chat for each game... so if you don't like people messaging you whilst you are gaming then just disable it.

        I always game with Xfire on, the whole counting your hours etc. is what I like, but then also because anyone can reach me through Xfire... I don't tend to bother making convo's on MSN/AIM/Xfire, I just have them for contact... hate people who just bug you and ask you what's up then just leave... lol :/

                Yeah I'm always on whilst playing, if I'm playing a SP game and someone is messaged me I'll usually ignore them unless the story is a crock of ****.

                    I've been using it for years now. If you don't want to be disturbed while gaming, just set the option not to display messages in-game.

                      If I am online I am probably on Xfire...so yeah I leave it on.

                      Got Xfire way back when it was first released as a beta, been using it ever since.

                        Nooooooo, its a lag monster for me. I dont know why, but it always stutters out my games. As soon as I turn it off, games work great.

                        I turn it on to keep it up to date and see if anyone is playing then I turn it off to join someone.

                          it starts up and auto logs on when my pc boots up, and i keep it running to see what people are doing, if someone messages me ingame i wont reply instantly and will wait till i have time

                            I used to use it a lot, but when I got vista, at start up you have to give it like admin rights every time, so I disabled auto start when I start up my PC, and then soon forgot about it.

                              Still use it when I game and feel like having people I know join in. Like others have said, I also use the option to disable the chat window while in-game. And for people that spam-chat too much, you just have to be firm and clear with them when you don't want to be bugged.
