Now with the pc i had and got it laods under 5 Seconds It's obvious then that your "low-end" Macbook is/was a mark up my low-end PC. It literally takes 40-70 seconds to start up Steam after several attempts.. on a good day it'll do 20 seconds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IJzzo 1,072 Report post Posted June 11, 2015 Well Xfire was great as long as it got maintained. After Viacom sold it (Summer 2010) nobody did any shit for it but keep it running. Steam was kinda far behind at this time. But they basically copied all the features from update to update and made Xfire almost obsolete. Xfire on the other hand received no longer development. Kinda sad but true. Edit: Titan-Gaming created probably Xfire2 which is still buggy. However I'm still wondering how I record video in Steam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QueNNch 515 Report post Posted June 11, 2015 This is indeed sad news. Don't know why did they need to shut down the messenger as it only made the brand Xfire more popular. Now they want to get into the esports business but they don't realise that their rival ESL also has a messenger (with integrated anticheat and auto server joining). They just scrapped one of their biggest strengths, the community. EDIT: I noticed their website has improved a lot with all the tournament stuff going on. It seems like they shut down messenger to maybe... save on server costs? Don't think so because apparently it was peer-to-peer o.0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IJzzo 1,072 Report post Posted June 11, 2015 Well they kill what they bought for money. The Community. Really a dick move. I hope they will die completely once nobody cares anymore for them. To clone what Steam does had more likely worked I think. Because people and infrastructure had been already there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IJzzo 1,072 Report post Posted June 29, 2015 What is done is done... I doubt you can ever hope to get it back. The only thing we can hope is that their league thing doesn't survive for long. But well unlike the old Xfire it won't costs much money to keep a website alive. Finally I don't want to know how much Chris Kirmse's heart bleeds...
