Hello everybody.
Since the 1.3.37a update from AlterIW, people are having trouble making XFire detect MW2 or getting the in-game function to work.
Here's a lil tut to help you out.
1st Step: Open the file xfire_games with NotePad. The file is located in ProgramData->Xfire
2nd Step: Locate Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer on the list. (To be easier press Ctrl + L and type 5993, which is MW2's number.)
3rd Step: Replace The MW2 Multiplayer text with the following.
[5993]
LongName=Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer
ShortName=codmw2m
LauncherDirKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Activis ion\Modern Warfare 2\Path
LauncherExe=iw4mp.exe
DetectExe=iw4mp.dat
Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% %UA_LAUNCHER_EXTRA_ARGS% %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS%
InGameRenderer=D3D9
InGameFlags=USE_PRESENT|USE_SWAPCHAIN|ENABLE_MOUSE |USE_DINPUT_MOUSE
4th Step: Save the File
5th and Final Step: Start up XFire and let it search for the Games that are installed.
If you did all the steps correctly MW2 should be detected and up for some frags.
I hope I helped with this tutorial.
