F.E.A.R + Xfire problems

Hey guys

i recently installed fear on my notebook and seem to be experiencing some difficulties in relationship to xfire, i cant get anymore than 18fps (even on startup screen) and im sure my notebook can handle more than that.
I was reading in the xfire forums that there is an issue with the two and was wondering if any of you have been able to fix the issue, if so id love some advice and how to solve this problem.
Cheers in advance

 

are u using the computer in your sig?

 

yes im using the sxps

 

well i know that when i run darkfall with xfire the game runs poorly. without xfire on, the game plays great.

try running the game with xfire off.

 

i didnt know you could do that, xfire automatically starts when i boot up, is there a way to disable xfire for fear but not the other games etc?

 

it is in options. uncheck "start xfire when windows starts" or something along that line.

you can also just exit xfire when after it starts, and then start it again.

im not sure if it will work, but it is worth a try.

 

cheers for that, ill give it a try as soon as the power comes on....ill let you know how i get on!

 

If your talking about the program Xfire, if you want to use it for other games, but not this game, click tools, then options, then go to the games tab, now on that list find your game, click on it, and check the box on the right that says disable Xfire in game. Click OK and now Xfire won't attach it's self to the game's EXE.

 

thats exactly what i was looking for thanks alot for that, fear runs perfectly now as well so im much appreciated......cheers

 

Yup. FEAR and xfire are no-no.. I turn it off too..
I guess there are some games out there that runs better without xfire..
