Update: DrkPWNer has released a patcher so you do not need to do it manually each time.
I rebuilt my Xfire Patcher from the ground up in .NET just because I saw this post. 
My Xfire Patcher: http://www.drkstudios.net/?file=downloads&fid=1

Felt I might as well save some people the trouble of manually doing it for now.
Original post:
There seem to have been some problems with the combination of Renguard, Xfire and Directx9. Here's a solution, posted by HTTbird.
Work-around for this issue (only needed if you use RenGuard, XFire, and RenD3D9):
1) Open up xfire_games.ini in Notepad (it is in your XFire installation folder).
2) Find the Renegade entry in that file (hit Control-F and then just ask it to find Renegade).
Note: There are actually two (consecutive) entries for Renegade, the first is for a stand-alone or Battle Pack install and the second is used for the version of Renegade that comes with TFD.
3) Change the 'LauncherExe' value to game2.exe from game.exe and change the 'Renderer' value to 'D3D9' from 'D3D8'.
4) Save your changes and close Notepad.
5) Restart XFire.
Note: You will need to apply this update every time XFire updates itself; the updater overwrites xfire_games.ini instead of patching it like it ought to.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Changing the renderer is unnecessary, just the EXE change is sufficient. Also, we have resolved the issue in development and a release will be made after some other issues are also fixed.
I'm the bawss.

It's not going to take us a year, ass. Besides, our soon-to-be-released fix works around XFire's issue, not vice versa.
I'm the bawss.
