PR:BF2 Xfire Support

Post by BloodyDeed »

Hi guys,

I hope you guys enjoyed our latest update and you are already playing on your favorite server again.
Since we're using different executable in PR 1.0 we were finally able to request getting added to the Xfire Game List.

For the ones who wonder what Xfire is: It's a free messenger which detects your games, show your current one to friends and let you chat ingame using an overlay.
Image
It offers several other features like an ingame browser and server overviews.

You can download the latest version on their website. Feel free to download and add me to have a chat, my name is "bloodydeed".

Cheers

I wonder how many people still use xfire. The PR team is using it a lot, but most of my other friends are only using Steam anymore. Never liked Steam that much though, makes a worse dedicated messenger by far.

Spec, quite a few PR clans and communities are using Xfire. Its easy to use and allows simple method of contacting people directly. The new version (Xfire 2.0) is horrible, but so far the patches apply to the old software as well so were all good.
I don't know anyone outside PR who uses xfire tho :D

Loving it, can't wait to rack up some hours.

So cool!.

I was actually a bit worried Xfire wouldn't show up I was playing Battlefield 2 while running PR... but then I saw a "Friend of a Friend" playing "Project Reality: BF2" and I was quite surprised.


Fantastic!.
