On modern Windows, primarily later versions of Windows 10 and all versions of Windows 11, sometimes XIG may immediately cause a crash to desktop for your game. This blog post will begin to catalog known games where this happens and what to do, and will change over time.

[b]FIXES FO...

Hello, if you were wondering how you can enable In-Game for CS2, here I offer you some explanation.

Currently, you must launch directly from "cs2.exe", either by making a shortcut to your desktop (not from Steam) or by launching Counter-Strike 2 from Xfire.

However, this will not be all, as a difficult decision had to be made in determining how best to track hours for all users... users who don't have a shortcut to "cs2.exe" or exclusively launch through Xfire... most people would launch from Steam or the Steam provided shortcut, understandably.

If you want to enable XIG for CS2, simply locate your xfire_games.ini file at:
C:\ProgramData\Xfire

Open in Notepad and search (CTRL+F) for "Counter-Strike 2", then look for what you see in the image below:


This blog post may be updated in the future.

EDIT: Client update released!

Hello all! I have a quick and simple update you can test right now! This will eventually be rolled out in a future client update and fix a lot of 64-bit games out there, helping with their detection, and most importantly, Xfire In-Game!

Simply download this file:
Download xfire_toucan64_46139.xll

Then copy/move this file into the main Xfire installation directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Xfire

Now restart Xfire, allowing Xfire to update and redetect your games. That's it!

Here are some games recently tested:
Dead Frontier
Dead Frontier 2
Ryse: Son of Rome
Star Citizen
PEAK
Zero Hour
EverQuest
DOOM (2016)
Pirates of the Caribbean Online
Guild Wars 2
