F@H running, no icon in taskbar

Post by samuelellis »

Morning

I have a bit of an issue with a F@H install i just did. It is on my gaming machine. it seems to have installed but when it is launched i get no icon in the taskbar so I have no way to get to the web config/advanced config page.

I have been to %appdata%/FAHclient to see what is in the logfiles but I cant see a logfile, has anyone seen this before?

If it's actually starting, don't worry about the icon. Microsoft has changed their support methods for tray icons several times and I'm pretty sure our latest code doesn't work with all versions of Windows.

The problem is that it is starting, i can see it running in task manager but I have no way to manage it so I cant tell it to use my GPU as well

As i have no icon I cant right click it and go to the advanced config and even if i type in client.foldingathome.org in a web browser it comes up saying it cant see the client

search for a program called FAHcontrol on your computer, if you didn't download & install it then it might be worth trying it out, its a more advanced version of the web control in its own little prgram.. I don't like using the web control as its not as easy to fine tune what you can do.
