Nope. Bomber and I tried it with Chrome, Firefox, IE and in none of those browsers worked. Then he connected to his vps and I connected to my root and it didnt work either, so i guess it just doesnt work lol
They've been updating that page like 5 times, anyway...
EDIT Now it does
Also,

So now I'm curious. Not to derail the thread or anything, but what are you guys going to use now, since Xfire is gone?
I would find it nice to have a member-shoutbox or something like that on this site
Oh man farewell Xfire.
I guess their competitor Steam took the upper hand.
They are using some sort of queue time to retrieve user's files, so maybe you didn't access to the page because too much people were trying to access the archives.
QuotePlease wait - Your archive is being processed...
You are #1105 in queue
Note: You can close this window and visit later; Your data is still being processed in the background.
Very disappointing to see this. I've logged over 11k hours so I'm trying to import them to either evolve or raptr but it might not work in time :(
Anyway, I'm not sure what our clan will use for IM now. I don't like steam so I'll probably continue using something that has a plugin for pidgin. If I find a way to transfer xfire hours to something else I'll post it here.
I saved some videos from xfire before this happened and will try to upload them later. Maybe led can host an xfire pics/video archive in the download section, or would this take too much space? We should try to save cull's videos, battlebelk's, and any other important ones if possible. The SWBF community relied heavily on xfire for communication and now that it's gone we will have to find something else.
It could also create a lot of content for a potential SWBFGamers Youtube channel.
We have our own screen shot gallery that we can use for individual shots.
We can upload archives of videos, but we should be somewhat selective.

I found a way to save the videos.
You need this tool (it's possible without, but it's much easier with the tool)
VideoCacheViewEvery video you stream in your browser is actually already downloaded to your computer. Into the cache.
I saved almost every BattleBelk video:
- Chameleon DT
- Chameleon
- Grumbling Tauntaun
- Laser Party 2
- Laser Party
- Retarded Rocket
- Sticky Nade
One is missing: (idk why, but this video is buggy in my cache and I can't export it to .mp4)
Wireframe ATATThe screenshot gallery does not work for me. I'll try it later.
Edit:
If I got all BattleBelk files, I'm gonna create an archive and Upload it to my mediafire account and/or to swbfgamers if allowed
http://crash.xfire.com/profile/
you can save your profile page by going this link add your username after the profile/
http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/39a41v/xfire_social_profiles_shutdown_save_your/
it looks like this might work for saving screenshots and videos selectively also. save what you can while its still up.
to save xfire video you can copy the URL here
http://www.clipconverter.cc/
it will download as mp4 but it might be slower than viathan's method or using the export feature.
how can i to the page on the opening post? I've looked on the xfire site and tried looking at my profile but I can't find anything
Cull uploaded about 120 videos. I think we have to use the exporter here :o
I have all videos of BattleBelk now, just the screenshots are missing.
@BlackWater,
try this link:

Also, if you have used your computer to record videos, there is a local cache at

You can verify xfire account through raptr by right clicking the icon and going to "friends & accounts" then click the wrench icon "add account" type in your xfire user and pass then it will verify your xfire ID in the account details -> identities & achievements. i clicked sync xfire hours with raptr so it might add them in a few hours if not its probably too late to import them.

QuoteUnfortunately, Xfire discontinued our ability to support the connection some time ago and we are unable to sync profiles and hours. I apologize for the inconvenience.
I'm 3708 in queue... I predict a 24 hour wait at current rates and I bet they turn everything off before they finish...
It will certainly be harder to organise battlefront games now, I expect it's too late for someone to save the chat client now with so little warning so this is the end of an era.
It's sad that I've got 144 friends on X-fire that I've talked to at some point and most of them I will now have no way to contact or speak to again.
If anyone wants to add me I'm on Origin (glynh92)for the new battlefront and I accept a few friend requests on Steam (gdh92/glynh in game)
I wish we could have had more notice--there are a lot of people I will likely lose contact with.
I would like to see the community decide as a whole where we will be relocating, rather than everyone going to this-or-that IM program.
*Plays world's smallest violin*
Im going to miss xfire, reunited with alot of people on there. :'(
Notification from Xfire (in case you didn't receive it):
Dear Xfire users - It is with sadness that we must announce that the Xfire Social services will be shutdown on Friday (June 12th). Please visit social.xfire.com to download your video/screenshot data. We apologize for the short notice - Xfire Community Team
I was wondering when the date would be!
anyone interested in a steam group? the bob clan have one but i think one for swbfgamers.com would be awesome!
Ive made a steam group:

agreed, maybe an industrious/knowledgeable person should list the options and pros/cons.

Yes, a lot of the very old AaTc members that returned for the new battlefront were reunited via xfire. This is just terrible timing with EABF coming up and lots of old players returning. The first place they would go is xfire. We need to find a good alternative quickly. I think Steam would likely be a good candidate even though I don't have it yet.
Woot #5379
It's only dropping by 50 max an hour at the moment, if they stop on Friday there's going to be alot of upset people .
QuoteUPDATE: We are aware of an issue where archives only contain a metadata file. We are also aware that the queue is taking too long to go down. We are working to fix these issues soon.
Maybe the speed will pick up some soon.

Same here, even a brief disconnect from the internet does that too. I was at #1900 something last night, now I'm back at #2417.
I had no disconnect from the internet and I'm now #14162 :o
Cull aka Keenmike's xfire files are 800mb in a 7z that finally downloaded. If Led wants to host them here PM me the FTP details and I'll upload it from the root. Otherwise I can try to upload it somewhere else.
Mine just downloaded while I was out, it doesn't help your internet connections but it means you at least don't have to stay around, it gives you one big 7zip folder that contains everything - the only downside is you lose all the pictures names and descriptions.
The speed has also increased since last night.
On a side note there must be another gdh92 on evolve already :(
Edit: Apparently I used Evolve in the past :slap:
Has someone the screenshots of BattleBelk yet?
Well it's friday and I'm #11730 so it looks like I will be one of the many not getting their screenshots.
well its saturday on 13th june here :p .
I managed to get mine.
If there are some shots you really need, you can right click and "save as".
Does not work (for me), because the sources that the xFire gallery needs (javascripts etc) are gone. It does not load the images, only in a very low resolution.
Anyway, I have now all files of BattleBelk.
:cheers:
Yeah I can see the thumbnails for mine but not the full sized picture when I click on it.
The chat client stopped yesterday but it seems ok again today, I wonder how long for...
Off topic: Why is it whichever site I go to these days seems to have a post by Unit33. :)
Quote from: XfireWe announced the closure date to be June 12th, but that was for the webservers. The Xfire client services will be terminated at any day or time in the very near future.
Lol...
Very sad about this. I've used Xfire for a long time and was just updating mine before all this happened.
I'm gonna try and salvage what I can from my profile, but I'm going to be migrating to Overwolf & Teamspeak. They seem to be filling that kinda roll Xfire was doing (and better at this point I might add). Once all my machines are back in working order I'll likely be hanging out in the SWBFGamers sever that Led has been so kind to host. If Overwolf is as robust as I'm assuming, it should work very well as a replacement.
PS: Not to take us off topic, but if a lot of us do go to Overwolf we should petition that SWBF1 be added to the overlay support. Cause if you scroll down to the Battlefront games only BF2 is supported. http://www.overwolf.com/supported-games/
Just to note for the future, if we do end up going that route. :tu:

-no video and screen shots that auto upload (that I am aware of)
-you have to spend $5 to be able to friend and chat with people
Don't get me wrong--I like Steam, but it is not a direct replacement.

Well the difference is there's a bit more options with Xfire since you were able to take screenshots, videos and even manage live streaming through it if you wanted to. I mean most people use Twitch now, but some of the stuff all ready to use in Xfire was nice. My combo was Steam and Xfire up till this point. For whatever games Steam didn't support, Xfire could usually track and provide an overlay (with screenshot support). Also for those of us who liked the tracker it was handy to have an application that would log your hours.
Just hoping Overwolf might have some of these features to compensate for the loss. :bye:

What do you mean by chat logging? As far as I am aware steam shows previous conversations while x-fire doesn't. It is true that videos and screenshots don't auto upload though, and you do have to buy a game to access some functions (granted this could be unappealing for some people)
Steam also has additional functions like viewing game info and automatically joining friends games, watching friends games etc.
Granted I know little about the other options so perhaps they have these functions as well.

Really? Oh man, the only reason I got Steam in the first place was to play GMod with a friend, and he gifted it to me the day i signed up, so I guess I already passed that money limit even though I haven't bought anything myself.

Xfire would (with the option set) save chats to a text file that you could access later. If steam has this, I would like to know.
Game and server info and joining a friends game were also supported by xfire, so I didn't mention them ;)

The big downside to Xfire was of course that it didn't actually have any games you could buy. Steam does log about a page/half page of your own sent messages (when opening the message window to said friend). It is really good for leaving text for someone though. I've depended on it a lot in the past to send people stuff when they were offline, as you get a notification about the received messages when you log back in.
I think the actual client might be down now. I can't log in.

Yeah the social.xfire thing is gone too. It just has "Thanks again for using Xfire, and we look forward to see you in a tournament in the near future." instead of the form for downloading screenshots and videos. Goodbye xfire. :confused:

It's been like this since yesterday morning... but yea it's down
Now let us all express our grief and condolences in a moment of silence... ... ... .. .
And now we gotta face facts: Which client are we all heading to? I already have Origin/Steam/Evolve, though do take note if you don't choose Steam, odds are I won't be active on the other.
A poll would be great.
Evolve is senseless. Because using it just for its chat function..
Origin is a must have for everyone who want to buy the new SWBF.
Steam is a great place for a community. With chatrooms, private chats etc. I would vote for steam.
Steam has a lot of swbf2 players. At least EU.
We met the 1/th of june to know how we'd contact each other and we decided to use that TS and a group they created afterwards
I originally thought EvolveHQ would be the best option, but now that I've tried Steam a bit more, I prefer it over the other messaging platforms.
Quote from: Viathan on June 29, 2015, 03:07:49 AM

I can put a poll up within the next few hours.
If anyone has any Xfire alternatives that are not listed in
this (http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=9273.0) thread, let me know so I can add it to the poll.
If you're doing a poll I would suggest being able to select multiple options, I don't think everyone's going to agree the best but hopefully our other choices will match up.
this chat/voice client is alright. http://www.getgsc.com/ has a friends list it also lists the servers.

When you have the Xfire program up it still comes up with "Xfire In-game Offline" As in Xfire isn't connected to the internet. I still believe you are able to take screen shots since Xfire In-game still works, not 100% sure though.
You can also take screenshots with Steam but not videos.
