Xfire Fix

For those who use Xfire, this fixes the bug of the game not being detected.

Just paste this over the Empries Mod launch information in your xfire_games.ini file.

Also make sure to restart your Xfire as well.

Code:

[4832]
LongName=Empires
ShortName=hl2emp
LauncherDirKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam\InstallPath
LauncherExe=steam.exe
DetectExe=SteamApps\*\source sdk base\HL2.exe
CommandLineMustContain[0]="\SourceMods\empires"
InstallHint=steamapps\SourceMods\Empires\resource\empiresd.ttf
LauncherPasswordArgs=+password 
_GAME_HOST_PASSWORD%
LauncherNetworkArgs="
_LAUNCHER_PASSWORD_ARGS% +connect 
_GAME_HOST_NAME%:
_GAME_HOST_PORT%"
Launch=
_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% -gameidlaunch 14521852205289439447 -game "
_LAUNCHER_EXE_DIR%\SteamApps\SourceMods\empires" 
_LAUNCHER_EXTRA_ARGS% 
_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS%
ServerStatusType=SOURCE
ServerEncodingType=UTF8
InGameRenderer=D3D9
InGameFlags=ENABLE_MOUSE|USE_DINPUT_MOUSE

 

Nice one matey!

 

Thanks dude.

 

I can't take credit for this. I found it in this Xfire Forums post:

The latest xfire update ganked this fix. You have to re-paste it in.

 

They should just add this fix in the update. Silly X-fire.

 

They should!

(Figured people might still need to see this thread.)

 

Just an update, since 2.2 is broken in xfire.

Replace DetectExe with:

DetectExe=SteamApps\*\source sdk base 2007\HL2.exe
