I have a game installed on my computer that is supported by Xfire, but when I start playing my status never shows the game. Why does this happen?
If you are running a game on your computer that is on our list of supported games, it will not show up in Xfire if the Windows registry tags are missing or incorrect. If you have relocated the game on your hard drive without doing an actual installation, or installed on a Windows NT-type computer but not as an administrator, this could cause the problem. Xfire uses the game’s registry tags to know where a game is installed, and how to detect it. • To fix this, go to your Tools | Options | Games tab. • Find the games you have on your system in the ‘Not installed’ list. • Highlight the game name and the “Manual Setup” radio button. • Click ‘Browse’. • Find the folder that contains the .exe file for that game and click ‘Ok’. • Click ‘Apply’. Check your Tools | Launch menu to verify that the game is now detected.
