There are a few reasons why the Xfire In-Game Browser may not work in some games. Here are some basic troubleshooting steps to check first: What Xfire skin are you running? Currently the only skin that officially supports the Xfire In-Game Browser is the Xfire Shadow skin (default). First the game must have XIG Browser support. Here is a quick test to see if your game does. Launch your game from the Xfire Tools | Launch menu. Once in game, press Scroll Lock + X to activate Xfire In-Game messaging. On the bottom left corner of the XIG menu you will see the Web Search box. If you can click in this field and type there, then the XIG Browser is enabled. Otherwise that field should be say “disabled”. For a list of games that support XIG Browser please go to FAQ Item #309.
