Steam games not working?

[A§H»WillRok]

If you start having any problems like mandalor try the following:

[19:14] A§H»WillRok [Major]: did you try closing xfire and running the games?
[19:14] A§H»Mandalr [Lieutenant]: no
[19:14] A§H»Mandalr [Lieutenant]: ill try that after this
[19:14] A§H»WillRok [Major]: cause when tucker and i went to play borderlands 2 the other day
[19:14] A§H»WillRok [Major]: xfire was crashing it
[19:14] A§H»Mandalr [Lieutenant]: mmm
[19:14] A§H»WillRok [Major]: but it worked when we closed xfire
[19:17] A§H»Mandalr [Lieutenant]: mmm
[19:17] A§H»Mandalr [Lieutenant]: did you reinstall xfire after?
[19:17] A§H»WillRok [Major]: no
[19:17] A§H»WillRok [Major]: just exit xfire
[19:17] A§H»WillRok [Major]: dont uninstall
[19:17] A§H»Mandalr [Lieutenant]: It's just kinda strange that all my steam games wouldn't work
[19:17] A§H»Mandalr [Lieutenant]: almost
[19:17] A§H»WillRok [Major]: just go into the system tray
[19:17] A§H»WillRok [Major]: right click xfire
[19:17] A§H»WillRok [Major]: exit
[19:18] A§H»WillRok [Major]: once its not running
[19:18] A§H»WillRok [Major]: try starting a steam game


It seems like steam and/or steam games have came out with an update that makes it so that xfire prevents some steam games from working.

+1 Thanks Will

Just disappointed I can't use xfire to record hours D:
I appreciate all the help as well from Stealth, Xoth, and expecially Jook.

I'm glad you finally got it working!
Annnd i'm glad that i got an honorable mention.

There's even a greater solution. ^>^ Kudos to Jook.

Head to your xfire, click on tools, then options, and then click on the tab reading "Games". Then disable xfire-in-game for each of the games that crash. Jook told me about it yesterday and it didn't work for some reason but I tried it again today and it works like a charm. Just try not to skip the animations of the games, like the opening logos and stuff cuz that tends to crash it sitll.

So just disable xfire in game, and xfire will still record hours

I've never had this happen to me, XIG works with all of the steam games I have. Which games does it not work on Mandalor?

Hay mand, Raptr should still record your game times if you link your xfire and steam to it. You don't need xfire running ether.
