Billyjoebob1337 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Hey all, just wondering if DCS is completely compatible with Xfire. It shows that I am playing it to others,but I can't chat ingame, or see what people say to me onscreen *though you should keep your eyes on the heli >_>* Is there a way to get Xfire to record its own videos and to broadcast gameplay, so others can watch me go :joystick: as I go try to learn how to control this heli. I'm not quite sure if this is an issue with Xfire and its update cycle, or if its a patch for DCS to get it to work with xfire.
Waldo_II Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 X-Fire works fine for me. I've even broadcasted a few times. Make sure that X-Fire is watching the right executable, DCS.exe. If it isn't, you may have to point xfire to it manually. If it is just looking for Launcher.exe, it will notice you playing it all the time, but the functions will only work for the menu/editor system, not the engine.
Kurtz Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Doesnt work ingame under Vista. Its a known unresolved problem documented by Xfire devs.

Its a known unresolved problem documented by Xfire devs. I think that would be the problem, seeing as I'm running Vista. I'll also go and see what .exe Xfire is watching for. EDIT: I found a post in the xfire forums about removing a piece of code in Xfire_ingame.ini that disables usage of BS ingame on vista. Making a backup, saving, and trying it. Here goes nothing... EDIT of EDIT: Nope, still doesn't work. Thanks Xfire. >_> Edited October 5, 2009 by Billyjoebob1337

Billyjoebob1337 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) My friend mentioned i should try out Livestream. I'm currently setting it up and I must see how this goes. All indicators say it should work. I'll have to try it in a moment and post/edit on my findings. EDIT: It works great, unless you alt+tab then everything locks up and you need to kill DCS.exe, my friend heard sound and was watching, but I was unaware it cut out after takeoff with no indication, nor could I check what my friend was saying... so I flew on oblivious on the Shooting Range.... at least I hit more targets than ever this time >_< .... I just checked my "On Demand" videos, and my entire flight is recorded... in a few chunks consisting of one minute, and two twenty four minute videos. Odd... Edited October 7, 2009 by Billyjoebob1337
