To elaborate on this issue:
XFire only knows about the Renegade EXE being called game.exe. (as it does OOB)
RenGuard's installer moves the Renegade EXE to game2.exe and XFire does not pick up on that
Hence, the crash (RenD3D9 seems to be part of it too, btw)
It is possible to patch your xfire_games.ini (it's in your XFire install folder) to work around this issue; however, you will have to re-apply the patch every time XFire updates itself.
I have spoken to =HT=Gamma about the issue and he will speak to the dev responsible for game support about it...
