Re: A program that stops FAH when a program/game is launched

MtM
there was no interest in the program so it is made to just suite my needs. I use FAH SMP and it sends the NET STOP FAH command when entering a game and after exiting a game it issues the NET START FAH command. It's been like this since I started this thread and no packets were lost.

Re: A program that stops FAH when a program/game is launched

Also, the need for such a feature is evident with gpu folding, the faster cards can meet their deadlines so easy that you can game while processing a wu ( meaning it should pause automaticly and then continue when the application is closed ) without risking having wu's time out. And folding will st...

Re: A program that stops FAH when a program/game is launched

The correct way to stop the CPU client not installed as a service is: taskkill /F /IM Folding@home-Win32-x86.exe Folding@home-Win32-x86.exe is the controlling program that starts the cores running. Stop that and you stop the cores. You don't really need to use the /T switch to stop the child proces...

Re: A program that stops FAH when a program/game is launched

I have FAH setuped as a service so from the program I just call the command to stop the service. But if FAH is not run as a service than I do not know how to properly terminate it. As this command gives improper core termination in FAH: taskkill /im folding* /t /f Anyone got an idea how to properly ...

Re: A program that stops FAH when a program/game is launched

Well, I run dedicated and non-dedicated systems here.. in two years of folding, I've never seen the need for an application like this... especially a Java based applet, talk about a resource hog. It's only running when Windows Scheduler starts it and after a 1sec it shuts down again. I have set Win...

Re: A program that stops FAH when a program/game is launched

toTOW
the point is that this is not true. I have tried with at least 4 new games and FPS are much lower with FAH on. Don't even get me started on FAH SMP or even FAH GPU.

A program that stops FAH when a program/game is launched

I've written a java program which stops FAH when a certain application is launched and after that certain application is closed it will start FAH again. The applications for which you wish to terminate FAH must be written in a .TXT file. So if anyone is interested let me know and I'll see what I can...

Re: folding between WinXP and Win 7

Add "Services" to the start menu, you are then 5 clicks from stopping or starting it. so i need 2 clicks to start the game and five clicks to stop FAH GPU. that is not an option if there is no better solution then I will write a batch file that will automaticly delete those AMDCAL* files ...

Re: folding between WinXP and Win 7

I do not understand why in WinXP the FAHGPU client always needs to install the AMDCAL* files whereas in Win7 there is no problem if those files are missing it just looks for them in Win7 system directory.

Re: folding between WinXP and Win 7

I need the tray client because when I start games I have to pause folding otherwise games run slow. And with the console client I do not see an easy way to achieve this. Do you?

Re: folding between WinXP and Win 7

there is a problem with the CALs because the ones from the XP produce error in Win 7 and vice versa But the problem is that in WinXP when I delete those CAL files it will automaticly reinstall them when I launch FAH GPU and thus when I boot into Win7 I have to manually delete them again in order for...

folding between WinXP and Win 7

Hello! I am a beta tester for Win 7 and lately I am spending alot of my g33k time on Win 7. So I would like for FAH to resume work where it left of from WinXP or Win 7. And since the AMDCAL*.dll are different in WinXP and Win 7 I have deleted the two files from the APPDATA folder so they now use the...
