I logged in and Xfire started to automatically update, why?
Xfire typically updates every three weeks. The updates are of course free like Xfire. We are constantly making changes to the Xfire software, such as new features or bugs fixes. These changes are to both the Xfire software as well as its servers. This is why it is not an option to disable the update as it may contain critical fixes and will help ensure stability. If you are able to receive a file through the Xfire Download system then you will get the updater file a few days ahead of everyone else. That means when we update you will already have the file ready to go and will not have to wait to download it. It will simply update and you’ll be able to log in immediately.
