Xfire help

[Corpfox]

Does anyone have any idea why would Xfire ruin my internet connection?

A few years ago, downloaded and tried it, from the moment I play a game through the internet, it totally ruin my internet connection that I got annoyed by it. A high speed cable connection (2.5 - 4.0 Mbps) reduced to a 0.5 Mbps connection.

When I uninstalled Xfire, I had no internet connection problems what so ever.

As it shows today, I have played 1 hour of Starcraft: Brood War,
though, not counting the other times I was playing, during on-line in-game Starcraft that gave me many disconnections. -_-

Or as noticed from Steam:



I'm sure your Xfire works, but I don't understand what is so different with mine and yours?

Is it my OS problem again? What is it!?

Check to see if Xfire is automatically downloading game updates for you. If it is, disable it.

Right. One of very few persons that use that OS.

BAH nevermind!

Sick and tired of Xfire ruin my connection altogether.

I will never download it again!

this is really odd corp, cuz I also use 64bit and I don't have any problem with it and my internet connection. I also fail on that test with xfire, but I don't seem to be having any troubles with my connection speeds they still test where they should be.

Xfire ties into the "guts" (for lack of a more technical term) of Windows networking. I know that I wasn't able to run Covenant Eyes and Xfire at the same time if I installed Covenant Eyes first. CE also ties directly in to the TCP/IP networking, though I don't know the specifics.

Perhaps one of our more technically capable forum members could provide more insight?

Nah, I have given up already. I don't need to prove that I've played games for many years since my accounts are still active.

I had problems with xfire completly kicking me out of an online game that I might have been playing........

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didn't work.......

SO......I too have given up on xfire for the mere reason that I was sick of getting kicked out of the game I was playing.........
