Negative Sun Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I used to use Gamespy but I've recently downloaded Xfire and it seems quite good, but I am not that familiar with it yet... So which do you think is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I use Xfire. It's small, quick and easy and the lads I play with easily se what I'm doing and can send a couple of in-game chat messages or join the server. Besides, profile keeps track what I'm playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swphreak Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I dislike both. I prefer ingame clients or direct IP connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigundr Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Direct IP connections SUCK! Me and my friend on Tuesday were trying to play AOE II witha direct IP and the goddam thing wouldn't let us. (Don't say anything smart Phreak). I like Xfire though. preferablly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Obi-Wan Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I used to use Xfire, but I didn't really like it. So, I don't really use any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiE23 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Xfire because of the game tracking. But I hate how it always looses connection to the server and then pops up telling me to sign back in. It's stupid becuase on the site they say they will keep it so you have to log in manually so "it doesn't cause unwanted game lag." Yah, I'm sure everyone is happier that instead of half a second of un-noticable lag they instead need to alt-tab the game to sign back in and depending on the game hope that doesn't crash the computer when they do it.

Alegis Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Strange, automatically regains connection here. (Without any minimizing etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow_Nest Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 I wouldnt support anything that requires GameSpy now... So my vote goes to Xfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negative Sun Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 I dislike both. I prefer ingame clients or direct IP connections. I've tried that for JA, but it wouldn't let me, for some reason the server list doesn't show up ingame... I do like the NWN ingame client though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alegis Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 (Blanden, village near Louvain, which isn't that far from Brussels. Born and raised until age of 4 in US myself) Gametracking doesn't seem to be that accurate for some SP games (although it does note whenever I'm playing it). For multiplayer for clans I find this a must have tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
