I have an issue with X-Fire whenever a new map is loading it crashes my game's resolution. My screen gets stuck, if I am lucky it lowers my resolution and the game recovers. However, if I quit the game after the recovery the screen will go blank, as if there is a handle on an object not properly released from memory. Screen Resolution: 2048x1152 GFX Card: Radeon HD 7870 If it recovers, it lowers my resolution to 1080, 720p, 480p or some times downright 600x400, WTF? It doesn't do it right away, most of the time it will do it on a new map load. A stable alternate is Overwolf which works with TeamSpeak but its a little finicky to use. Any ideas why this happens? I think it has to do with my screen resolution but playing at 1680x1050, which is what it lowered to once, didn't work for too long either. On another note, does anyone use a 4K monitor? Does Xfire work well for you? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

My gaming desktop has an AMD while my gaming/workhorse laptop has NVIDIA and it crashes the game on both. On the laptop it did it, after i lowered my resolution to get better FPS and possibly reduce screen jitter. I have not found a working solution yet. I will be emailing Xfire supoprt. The worst part is that there isn't even any crash log I can analyze as to what's causing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

For whatever reason when you set it through settings it never worked. Now the game doesn't crash, I will do some more testing. On another note, it takes the functionality Screen Capture or Video making functionality away from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

After your pc is done with his start-up part then close complete xfire then change your screen resolution to 1 step lower resolution. Then start-up xfire is all is working fine then close again xfire complete and change your screen resolution to the one you want and start-up xfire. Remember xfire must be complete off so no on-line or background parts when you change the resolution You can try this no harm to the pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started using AMD's Gaming Evolved Raptr overlay software that is light weight and more stable than Xfire. It connects to my Xfire account and just works. Now I can take screen shots or make videos whatever I want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
