BOINC Suspend and Gaming

[oily_17]

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


<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.

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.

Just to add I came acorss this tip from a guy called Munday from BOINC UK. It really isn't a tip... it *should* be common knowledge what you can do with the cc_config and config files. Just buried in the manuals I suppose.
