For some reason I lose all of my settings including my name. This does not occur when I log straight into the server from the game itself. What am I missing? Can someone assist? Thank you :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Just wondering, I only use xfire to connect to the cod4 xi server Nope, sorry Joe. I'm just going to have to connect using a direct from game method. When I first started playing this game the XI server did not appear on my in game list, now it does for some reason. I usually play COD2 using my Mac but when I want to use Xfire I need to use the Windows 7 section of my comp. Unfortunately there are now several maps that automatically kick me when I play on the Mac. It gets frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
