A question: does XFire run/launch freelancer - i.e you run Xfire and ask it to start Freelancer?
FYI - the reason for changing the name of freelancer is to get most(all) people to run the updater - especially the folk who don't change their shortcuts. Unfortunately I didn't think of the case where people launch Freelancer from the XFire (didn't know you could do it). There are other ways I could change the system to launch the updater - but they have some disadvantages - if this becomes a major issue then I guess I'll need to go down these paths.
