Forum:The Vault & Xfire Partnership

From The Vault

Take the Fallout wiki in-game with Xfire by pressing Scroll Lock + W! Fresh from a partnership with Xfire, we are proud to announce that The Vault will serve as the default in-game web browser for Xfire while playing any of the Fallout titles on the PC. That’s right, no more alt-tabbing, throw away your second monitor, close your laptop, put your pants back on…er, you get the picture. Check out Xfire’s browser page for more details.

Been living in a cave and haven’t heard of ‘em? Xfire is the number #1 gaming application for PC gamers. In under 6MB, Xfire enhances a users gaming through in game chat, stat tracking and guild hosting. Xfire also allows users to live broadcast their gameplay, capture and upload in-game video and screenshots. Recently Xfire also went live with Pro Voice, which provides free server-hosted voice chat accessible in and out of game. So having Xfire with you in-game is pretty much like having MacGyver in your guild.

Used the XFire browser from within FO3 today, was a pretty nice feature considering the problems I've had with Alt-Tab'ing out previously. Finding and using things like the interactive map, and the information available in the wiki specifically was especially useful. --Geministorm 19:07, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

You can already do this with Steam

In-game browsing is a feature found on several game-based chat clients (Xfire,PlayXpert and Steam), however, how many of them default to The Vault while playing any of the Fallout series? The great feature of this is not the browsing, it that Xfire is driving traffic to the wiki, and helping out the community.

Except Steam only let's you browse it's own community. -DragonJTS^{Leave me a message} 00:07, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Except Steam lets you browse the web.
