    Xfire 1.44 Released

    The popular little program that allows users to chat and play with their in-game friends, Xfire, has hit the big 1.44. The new update includes enhanced friend grouping and a new infoview game skin for CS: Source.
    • New infoview game skin for Counter-Strike: Source.

    • Improved file searching on the files page.

    • The client ad should no longer refresh while you're in a full screen game.

    • You can now drag and drop your friend groups in the interface to organize them however you wish.

    • Added player name coloring in the infoview for Quake 3-based games.

    • Fixed a spurious "voice chat disconnected" message when you weren't even in a voice chat.

    • You will no longer be set auto-AFK if you're active in a voice chat.

    • Major cleanup of the Servers tab code... it should run a bit faster now.

    • Fixed CS:S server info player name and server name parsing to correctly show non-ASCII characters.
    [break="more changes? you know it!"]
    • Fixed the clicking sound when drawing the infoview on some machines.

    • Several quality enhancements for (beta) one-to-one voice chat, including multiple quality settings (in Tools | Options | Voice).

    • Added support for Counter-Strike 1.6 server info for old servers as well as new VAC2-enabled servers.

    • New games supported: Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome, Sudden Strike II, Scrapland, Mortyr 2, Homeworld Cataclysm, Fate, Dungeon Siege II, Blue Shift, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Soaked, Control Monger, and FEAR SP Demo.
    The update comes during a period where Xfire experienced 100,000 simultaneous users online and over two million registrations. Congrats to the Xfire staff and fanbase on their accomplishment!

      I remember when I though Xfire was spyware when it came with the new NS installation. Now since Friends is terrible even when it's actually working, Xfire fills the void quite well.

                    That's what happens when you play CS on your ass for ten years.

                      i'm not going to quit bitching until they release a Valve Source title supporting Linux. Or ArenaNet releases an expansion to Guild Wars.
