How to get Xfire working ingame of Battlefield 3

... keep in mind that chatting ingame within Xfire causes "undesirable side effects". Every input to the Xfire chat has directly effects to the game.
But at least it's good enough for take some screenshots, creating videos and broadcasts :)
I'll keep you updated if I (or somebody else) found a way to "fix" this issue.
