question guys: i've was checking the "lag tips" topic and it said to rename the bf2 folder for better performance and it is working better now. But xfire doesnt work ingame now. It says bf2 isnt installed and i totally understand why, its searching the bf2.exe but i renamed it. So what i want to know is, how to make xfire work again so i will receive ingame messages and dont have to alt+tab.
Thanks

Umm, what sort of performance increase does this 'renaming' do?

I think this was in BAdHQ's Lag reduction tips...

Oh, is that the thing where you name BF2 like "BF21.exe" ? If so, just redirect your BF2.exe on XFire to BF21.exe - look on the help page and you should find out how.
