for some reason xfire dont work well for sc.. its like laggy and distorted

 

[Sakuhta]

Yes after the latest update I can't run SC and Xfire together anymore. All the graphics are missing when I log onto Battle.net.

 

[Jiggy]

Yea same here... But its still useful to see whos playing without actually going on... and it works with lots of other games as well...

 

[Sakuhta]

Almost every one I can possibly think of.

I tried to use it today, but when i launced sc with xfire, it always crashes. The whole menu will be totally ****ed up and I can't see what the buttons say!

 

[Wing Zero]

yea sc dont work they tried to make sc work with it but u see what they did

 

[Zeroth]

XFire can run with SC... I have done it! it doesn't run too fast and yes, the buttons are ****ed up, but you can run both together...I'd only use it schedule a game. It also ****s up WC3... I got MAJOR lag with it, but over all it is good...

[Wing Zero]

[WarLin]

no that dint come out right... xfire just looks for the games u have that it is compatible with and when it does it it can record

It does the same crash with BF1942, so I stopped using it. I played it fine with WC3. Haven't tried SC though.

No, you don't know what we're talking about. The lag isn't an issue, and WC is fine. Only the latest patch ruined the graphics in SC.

>< Jiggy talked me into gettin it. Eh, its ok. Good way of keeping track of how long you play games...

i was talking about the buttons in BNet... and in D&D maps on WC3, when you go to the unit chooser place it will lag like hell!

I'm gunna laugh when people start braggin about their 10,000 hours of logged Bnet time on SC and WC3....ugh...we've opened a can of worms. Like almost everybody has this damn thing!

 

[Samsara]

It is a vital necessity in MMORPGs and some fps (for lan hack) . I dont see much of a use in RTS with whispering and all :-/
