Gisteren is versie 1.62 van Xfire uitgebracht. Xfire is een chatprogramma voor gamers en stelt je in staat om zowel binnen als buiten spellen te chatten in tekst en spraak, te zien welk spel je vrienden op dit moment aan het spelen zijn en kunnen gamepatches en demo's via een eigen P2P-netwerk worden binnengehaald. Onder de vernieuwingen in deze release treffen we onder andere aan dat anderen onmiddellijk je nieuwe nickname te zien krijgen als je deze veranderd, zijn er diverse bugs verholpen en worden er weer een aantal nieuwe spellen ondersteund. Het volledige changelog ziet er als volgt uit:
Release notes for 1.62[break]
- Nickname changes are now shown to your friends immediately (some of you have waited two years for this feature, so enjoy it!).
- Dial-up users are now opted out of patch downloads by default (go to Tools | Options | Files to change).
- Fixed saving of XfireUser.ini to not save possibly dozens of times on startup and exit; this should make startup and exit much faster, and reduces the likelihood of data corruption.
- xfire: urls in chat windows now function as links.
- Added country flags to profile web pages.
- Fixed Logitech G15 Keyboard support to allow the Logitech LCD Control Panel to permanently disable Xfire support.
- Fixed the problem that caused people with buggy DSL/cable modems to lose internet connectivity when they had lots of favorite or recent Battlefield 2 servers (or friends playing BF2).
- Fixed new chat windows to users you have not chatted with before to not always be set to the top left of the screen.
- While in a voice call, you can now choose to accept or deny an incoming call.
- Fixed balloon tooltips to not try to display when playing a game (Windows XP would instead show a long string of them upon exiting the game); also fixed a Windows 2000 issue.
- Fixed a problem that could cause moved chat windows' locations not to be saved.
- Fixed a graphics problem when changing skins with very similar code.
- Fixed an Xfire In-Game display problem when accidentally running one game while already playing Guild Wars.
- New games supported:
- Company of Heroes Multiplayer Beta
- FEAR Multiplayer
- Battlefield 2142
- Monopoly Tycoon
- Madden 2007
