  • Xfire's Monthly Update

    Xfire hit the elusive version 1.56 mark with an update coming last night. The update adds the usual feature additions and more games are now supported. The release notes page features a couple of links for the mentioned SDK and the technical notes.
    • Added real gaming statistics (e.g. kill/death ratios) for Quake 3. Available on profile pages starting on May 18, 2006, with more to come.

    • Added the ability to change your downloads directory under Tools | Options | Files.

    • Added remote screenshots to the files tab. They update automatically when you edit your screenshots via the Xfire application or on the website.

    • Added a menu option in the Windows Explorer Send To menu to send files through Xfire.

      Things like stats and player profiles is exactly what Steam should be doing. Steam is perfect for this kind of thing, I think Valve have been a bit complacent here, letting XFire make all the cool moves. It can't be that long before it's a fully fledged digital distribution service can it?



      Oh, and theclq absolutely rocked.
