Xfire.exe command line parameters

In addition to start Xfire by using just the Xfire.exe, you can give Xfire some command line parameters to enhance functionality.

Xfire.exe
Starts Xfire normally if it is not already running. Does nothing if Xfire is already active.
Xfire.exe
Xfire.exe /server <address>
Makes Xfire to connect to server you specify instead of connecting to cs.xfire.com. This is useful when using proxy servers, such as Multi-IM from XfirePlus. This command line parameter was introduced in Xfire version 1.60. Does nothing if Xfire is already active.
Xfire.exe /server 127.0.0.1
Xfire.exe /url <full url>
Pass an Xfire URL to Xfire. This can be used to set a custom status, add a friend, join a server or add a file to download list. This command line is automatically invoked when you use xfire: pseudo-protocol. If Xfire is not running, it will be started.
xfire:status?text=My custom status
Xfire.exe /url xfire:status?text=My custom status
Xfire.exe /multiple
Allows running multiple instances of Xfire. Xfire is not designed to be running multiple copies simultaneously on same computer and using this parameter is therefore strongly discouraged as it could potentially mess up your Xfire installation (worst case scenario).
Xfire.exe /minimized
Starts Xfire in minimized mode, i.e. does not bring up the main window. This only has any effect if the "Start minimized" is not checked in Options.
Xfire.exe /quit
Quits Xfire. If there is already an instance of Xfire running, it is exited. If Xfire was not running, this command line option has no effect.
Xfire.exe /nosetcwd
When started with this option Xfire will not set its working directory to the place Xfire is installed to. This is only useful for developers or for debugging purposes to fake Xfire the installation folder.
Xfire.exe /u3configure
Xfire.exe /u3cleanup
Do Xfire registry mainteinance.
Xfire.exe /update_failure
The automatic updater starts Xfire with this flag to inform it that the last update attempt failed.
Xfire.exe /update_success
The automatic updater starts Xfire with this flag to inform it that the last update attempt was successful.
