BOINC Suspend and Gaming

Just seen this post over at XS by [XC] riptide.

Thought I would post it here, as it may help out some crunchers here as well.

Solution to your and everyone elses gaming/suspend issues.

Find cc_config.xml

and put in

Code:

<cc_config>
  <options>
     <exclusive_app>Speed.exe</exclusive_app>
     <exclusive_app>Crysis.exe</exclusive_app>
     <exclusive_app>FarCry.exe</exclusive_app>
     <exclusive_app>NFSHP2.exe</exclusive_app>
     <exclusive_app>FarCry2.exe</exclusive_app>
     <exclusive_app>Dirms.exe</exclusive_app>
     <exclusive_app>Spybot.exe</exclusive_app>
  </options>
</cc_config>

If you don't have a cc_config.xml file, simply make one with the above format and drop it into your BOINC directory or put cc_config.xml in the Boinc DATA folder if its Win7/Vista C:\ProgramData\BOINC
Whatever games you want to suspend BOINC.

Click to expand...

Make sure its the actual game.exe that you put in and NOT the launcher.exe
Also make sure you hit Advanced>read Config file in your BoincManager.
Works on v6.4+ of Boinc.

Cheers Riptide, guess we just dont take the time to read all the info, it's too easy to install and go now.
