Xfire Release 1.115
2009-09-29 11:11 AM PDT
As you could have anticipated from the beta post and the comment Hans wrote in post about lots of stuff, Xfire version 1.115 was coming and now it's here.
According to the Release notes for 1.115 the changes for this version are quite closely the things I mentioned last Friday when reminding of the availability of beta version.
As you can see above, one thing this new Xfire version brought was the ability to give a title to one's Live broadcast. When you press the broadcasting key binding, Xfire will display you the dialog you see above where you can type in the title you want. It defaults to the game name. As obvious as it is, there are two buttons, one to accept the title and start broadcasting, the other to cancel and not start streaming the video.
Fear not, that was not the only addition to the broadcast feature! Some performance improvements are also included and I saw some kind of hint that they are still working on some behind the stage -things regarding this feature. I think we'll see what will happen in future.
So the Xfire In-Game now has a dialog asking for broadcast title. It would be quite boring if that was the only new thing added there, now wouldn't it? Xfire thinks as much and therefore another, quite a demanded by the community, feature was added too: the ability to add friends while in game! Click here for a screenshot!
Not only can you send out friend invites, you can now also receive them in game and naturally can either accept or deny them. When I tested these features during the beta, I did notice some little bugs with it, though. The most severe one of them would probably be the fact that if you do not answer to the invite, as in you don't accept or deny it, then the invite will be automatically rejected when you stop playing. Of course these bugs were reported and I would expect them to be fixed soon, probably for the Xfire 1.116 version.
A game that was recently advertised on Steam and looks kind of unique but cool is also now supported by Xfire. I just wonder how did the game get its name. I mean, it's clearly the longest game name on Xfire to the date: "AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity"
If someone has it installed, can they show me a screenshot on how it looks like on the Xfire's launch menu or in the infoview panel?
