Xfire and FL

More information could be useful, as what you’re saying is quite cryptic.

1. What DX9 mod?
2. Force Xfire to switch to DX9? What do you mean by that?

Remember FL is natively a DX8 game and that any hack that makes it DX9 uses a lot of odd techniques which Xfire may not like.

I thought FL was a DX9 game, as that is the DX version that came bundled with the game…

Its in DX8, but DX9 was already released when the games comes into the store.

Yeah thats really Microsoft^^

I always encountered some bad crashes with xfire if I activate, OR EVEN DEACTIVATE FL modifications

Uninstall Xfire, install it again, while itano circus still stays activated, this might help.

What Alimarin is talking about is correct. With the bloom shader that Itano Circus uses, Xfire does not interact with Freelancer correctly. I seem to remember Xfire having a shader override switch in each game’s options. (Where you go to manually detect games.) Maybe that could work? I’ve never tried it myself.

You need to use the refresh button a lot, at one point FL will use the proper adapter (again, it’s FL ::) )

Otherwise, you need to disable IPv6, but that can cause trouble on Vista/7.

As for Xfire, I seriously doubt you’ll get it running. The ENBSeries hack is just that, a hack; it allows primitive features of DX9 on a game which otherwise is and will stay DX8. The whole code and executable relies on DX8, so Xfire considers it as that.

FL works through Hamachi?? sweet…

and yes… the ENB comes with its fair share of “problems”…
but its soooooo… worth it!! ;D lol does that mean Flak & my mod can
now be considered “dx9” mods… hehe… alongside itano

@Xarian_Prime:

FL works through Hamachi?? sweet…

yes
and i heard of an FL Network on hamachi…
idk how much players pls in there…

PS: afik Freelancer grafics is in DX8, but it uses a few things of DX9, too…

Only through ENBSeries. Vanilla Freelancer (and mods not using ENBSeries) is strictly DX8. You can’t be “half-DX9”.

I agree ;D
