Hmmm ... I copied what you posted and told it to read the local config file and got:

I guess the new version breaks it?
6.10 is substantially newer than 6.2, you should probably upgrade.

Or does WCG not keeping up with the times?
You have the same problem I did. The suspend stuff only works with 6.4 and later.

Thanks particle:up: very nice
i personally don't play any games, but you can add starcaft 2 to the list. it's not too CPU demanding, but it might help.
Got it work >.>
WCG should update that client.
They SHOULD do a few things, but the wheels at IBM turn slowly. ;)
What did you do to get it to work?Quote:

I downloaded the client from WCG instead of Boinc ;)Quote:

So now, when a game is loading, it draws a little CPU (I think I set 15% because 25% just isn't ever reached on a hexacore :ROTF: ), BOINC shuts off for a few seconds, game loads quickly, BOINC auto-reenables, bingo :)
Just very few games where BOINC really needs to be shut off to play. NFS series is a good example, and some shooters. RTS are all fine, for example - currently playing the new C&C 4.
@SoulsCollective:
Pfff, most of these games show no difference at all with BOINC running - SupremeCommander 2 for example :p:
No wonder your output is so low, with THAT ccconfig file :sofa: :p:
Interesting, I find RTS titles to be the most CPU-intensive.Quote:

Heh, nope, that would be due to not returning any results for the past five months due to rising summer temps (and therefore air-con and therefore electricity costs) down here.Quote:

They are - but that doesn't mean they lag when BOINC is running in the background. Some shooters and ALL NFS series games do, for some reason :shakes:Quote:

So I had to exit BOINC and forgot to re-enable.. there went my Blueberry Pie yesterday :rolleyes:
So to make sure that doesn't happen again, I put it in exclusive apps along with NFS and a few others I know don't run with BOINC. Just tried starting it up, and it works :)
