Good that word of the mod should get out to others though it seems the only reply at the moment is by The Magical Bong. :wink:

Maybe a detailed description of the mod should be posted together to encourage people to actually click on the link.

XFire = total Fail.
It crashes (games and itself) and fails at counting game hours. Fails at connecting to internet..
FAIL.

Agreed, 9 out of 10 crashes with Empires were related to Xfire. After every Update, it´s a bit more fuc*ed up.

Why y'all got to be playa haters?

Seriously, I've never had problems with it. Fail, maybe, but not a total fail.

Anyhoo and

Just because it fails a lot doesn't mean people don't use it...

(Haven't used it myself, so I'm indifferent)

For over 600 hours I have on it, I haven't had more than 5 crashes (only in GuildWars, but that's not a problem because of the reconnect feature) and when it doesnt count your playing, restarting fixes it.

I've had VERY few crashes directly related to Xfire itself(Just because Xfire pops up the report doesn't mean Xfire crashed it ;) ), and, as you can tell from my profile, I've been using it for a few years. Mainly the crashes are a result of my system(Specifically, Windows) and trying to play a game that's too advanced for either my graphics card or processor (Like Civilization 4... If I don't turn down the graphics it eventually crashes, Xfire or not).


Though I will say that Xfire takes up some resources, and can crash a game if you're not smart enough to turn off enough other sh*t before playing a demanding game. ;)

I've had quite a few crashes where xfire pops up. According to you, these aren't necessarily xfire's fault, but as soon as I stopped using xfire, I stopped getting as many crashes ;-)

I think I have 900 something hours with xfire on the specialists, never had any problems ingame. Only problem was it seemed to want to take 99% of my cpu to download its updates.

My antivirus software would always decide to update while I was playing a game and fucking kill it for about 2 minutes. Since I got a dual core PC, it doesn't skip a beat even when I'm playing a demanding Source game. :D

Well, then maybe you're just a pile of fail.

My information.
I just realized... I still auto-login on the xfire site with my alternative xfire account (one I made when I lost my main account's password)... and I posted with that. Oh well... ^^
I hope more people become aware of MSC & play it. Especially coders, mappers, skinners, and the such.

It doesn't help that there isn't much happening to attract more people to the mod. :-(

Stop ****ing posting already. This isn't the god damn Facepunch Studios forumboard, and we don't need your dumbass one-liners, let alone the constant "lolownt". Go back to playing Counter-Strike, shoo.

Nice, you got the description for the mod. :) I think the more important thing is getting the attention of those who might help to develop the game/mod. Meaning, new mappers, modelers, skinners and coders. We seem to have quite a few new players in-game already(more and more will probably come on their own; we don't really need to spread the word to get EVEN more), so we should focus on getting new "help" instead.

I think this "help" will come when people see that the mod is still active and POPULAR.

I don't think that has anything to do with the topic. :roll:

Mod's doing pretty well lately, especially for an HL1 mod that, by all rights, should be dead. We seem to have an average of eight players spread about as many servers, maybe 32 players in prime time. Doesn't sound like much, but tis better than the mod's done in awhile, and there are other, better known mods, not doing nearly so well.
