Asked By johnnierbailey 60 points N/A Posted on - 11/27/2012

Hello,

I tried to log in Xfire and received an error message. Have a look at the error message below.

Is it a compatibility issue? What does it mean? I do not understand the error message. Have you any idea?

Please help me to get a remedy of this issue.

Thanks you.

Hello Mr. Johnnierbailey,

 

From the error above, I assumed that you are connecting with a windows live ID that is not supported region.

The possible solution for this error are:

1. Use a windows live ID from the supported region, like USA which is commonly used for testing beta program
2. Change your location of access by using web proxy.

Hope this helps,

What this basically means is that XBOX-LIVE does not support your user location. For example, if you are registered in Japan and the service or game is only offered in the US, then you are going to get that error.

What a lot of people do is to simply create a new user-ID that is registered in the US. That is where most apps and services are offered.
