Thread: Look at that, finally Xfire and OpenSauce are friends again! (but not rly)

    Look at that, finally Xfire and OpenSauce are friends again! (but not rly)

    If you guys didn't already know, If you were using OpenSauce while Xfire was open, Halo would crash because of the Overlay system used in games when Xfire is running (Chat, Broadcast, etc.)

    However, I believe that I might not be the first one to discover this, but whatever.

    Anyway, Xfire AND OpenSauce can be on at the same time, just follow these directions:

    1. Open Xfire.
    2. Click on Tools, then Options.
    3. Click on the Games Tab.
    4. Under Installed Games, find Halo Custom Edition.
    5. Once found, look over to the bottom right, the box that says "Advanced Options".
    6. Under that box is a checkbox named: Disable Xfire In-Game. Check that box!
    7. Congratulations, you can now successfully use Xfire while Open Sauce is being used!

    This "tutorial" can also work on other program's using directx overlays (like Mumble, the VOIP program)

    Hope I helped you guys out

    Yeah, but now you cant use screenshots, video, or broadcast.

    Not that big of a deal. And if you still want to chat with others, run in windowed mode.

    Sigh. I thought this was going to be a fix so both could be used to their full extent (Xfire in-game + OpenSauce).

    I've had Xfire set up this way for a long time.

    I have to keep it this way too so I can use Yelo and Version Changer.

    way to get people hopes up.

    This defeats the purpose of using XFire.

    Only reason I don't bother with OS is then I wouldn't have XIG. That and the fact that it's HEK doesn't like about 5 of my programs.
