Download Xfire 1.62

Version 1.62 of Xfire was released yesterday. Xfire is a chat program for gamers and allows you to chat in text and voice both in and out of games, see what game your friends are currently playing and download game patches and demos via a private P2P network . Among the innovations in this release we find, among other things, that others immediately see your new nickname when you change it, various bugs have been fixed and a number of new games are supported. The full changelog looks like this:

Release notes for 1.62

• Nickname changes are now shown to your friends immediately (some of you have waited two years for this feature, so enjoy it!).
• Dial-up users are now opted out of patch downloads by default (go to Tools | Options | Files to change).
• Fixed saving of XfireUser.ini to not save possibly dozens of times on startup and exit; this should make startup and exit much faster, and reduces the likelihood of data corruption.
• xfire: urls in chat windows now function as links.
• Added country flags to profile web page.
• Fixed Logitech G15 Keyboard support to allow the Logitech LCD Control Panel to permanently disable Xfire support.
• Fixed the problem that caused people with buggy DSL/cable modems to lose internet connectivity when they had lots of favorite or recent Battlefield 2 servers (or friends playing BF2).
• Fixed new chat windows to users you have not chatted with before to not always be set to the top left of the screen.
• While in a voice call, you can now choose to accept or deny an incoming call.
• Fixed balloon tooltips to not try to display when playing a game (Windows XP would instead show a long string of them upon exiting the game); also fixed a Windows 2000 issue.
• Fixed a problem that could cause moved chat windows’ locations not to be saved.
• Fixed a graphics problem when changing skins with very similar code.
• Fixed an Xfire In-Game display problem when accidentally running one game while already playing Guild Wars.
• New games supported:
  • Company of Heroes Multiplayer Beta
  • FEAR Multiplayer
  • Battlefield 2142
  • Monopoly Tycoon
  • Madden 2007
