It works for me.


Is the Plugin still in your plugin directory?
Is it loaded in Plugin options?
Do you see it in settings?

It is in plugins dir, but i can't see it in options/plugins. I had the same problem with jabber when updated miranda but not jabber plugin. But now updated all and no xfire

Xfire servers are down for a while now.. they closed their "business"
Xfire, the chat app, no longer exists. see: http://social.xfire.com/

Seems like they were bought by someone new and that just for their name... all other services got closed without much warning or time for it. (as in case of the social app, 2 day warning for profile export before they vaporized it altogether)

So the Xfire plugin might require a rewrite now :P IIRC not even the game detection works before the plugin is connected... so you can't even use it to set your status anymore. Would be nice though if this plugin could integrate Raptr and Evolve and maybe finally get an in-game overlay...

I don't understand either, it works fine for me (64bit version though, but it shouldn't matter).
Can you try with a clean profile please?

Interesting.. from your version info:
Quote
Unloadable Plugins (2):
DbChecker.dll v.0.0.0.0 [14 Aug 2015 10:54:26] - <unknown>
Xfire.dll v.0.0.0.0 [14 Aug 2015 0:35:10] - <unknown>
I'm just not sure why :(


Can you open "List of available components" and download all msvcr*.dll there?

There weren't many updates to it.. besides most developers use a rather limited set of plugins. A lot of them are "maintained" (at least if users report bugs.. otherwise at least working with API changes) but otherwise untested... So I might be the only one with source access that actually uses XFire :P

Though XFire was buggy for me for over a year now... sometimes not detecting games at all, or detecting a random game as running while I've got Steam open^^ The entire game detection needs to be rewritten (also for performance reasons) but I'm not currently in the mood for it nor got the time.
But for me, chat was never my primary goal... game detection was. (in Miranda IM times, I've even had my currently running game as well as my status added to my signature thanks to mbot..)

watcher, well, if XFire is dead then plugin is useless and perhaps we should remove it completely...
