XFire and Galactic Civ 2

help us show our addiction

Published on February 24, 2006 By Shalkto In Galactic Civilizations II

Hey guys was thinking when i was looking through my XFire stats i want to show everyone on all the boards i post to jsut how addicted i am to Galactic Civilizations 2. However XFire currently doesnt recognize Galactic Civ 2 they have an email address for requests for new games but they only add them if they recieve enough requests. So since we are all addicts here i was hoping that if any of you use xfire as well would consider sending an email to newgames@xfire.com and asking them to add it to their list of recognized games.

In the meantime, if you simply want to use in-game chat (as a temporary, until it's hopefully officially supported), you can add this to the end of xfire_games.ini -

[9999]
LongName=Galactic Civilizations 2
ShortName=galciv2
LauncherDirKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Drengin.net\GalCiv2\Path
LauncherEXE=GalCiv2.exe
Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% %UA_LAUNCHER_EXTRA_ARGS%
InGameRenderer=D3D9

(Note that any custom additions to xfire_games.ini are removed whenever the file is updated)

There's got to be more people on here who use Xfire. Post in thread Foogsert linked to so they hurry up and add support for GalCiv 2. I want to know how much time I lost to this game
