I'm frequently getting the error "Heat Control Config file not found". I'm trying to limit the GPU slightly, but to no avail. TIA!

 
Do you have multiple GPUs? If so then this error will occur when starting any GPU that has no settings defined. Also, Heat Control DOES NOT WORK on core 15 WUs, so it can't be used on Fermi cards. I will fix that error showing up in the next release.

Nope, I only got 1 gpu. I am also folding on a gtx 260. So Its not a core 15 WU. I get this problem all the time and it seems to come and go as it pleases. Just looking for a cure all.

I do not know if anyone has suggested this but could make it so there is a way we can choose what drive we fold on? I am suggesting this because I read that it is not so good to fold on a SSD.

This is very easy to do since the Tracker runs all the clients out of the folder it is set up in. Just move the Tracker's main folder onto your other HDD and run it from there.

I moved the folding @home folder does that mean that tracker will fold from there?

Just remember, the Tracker does NOT do anything to FAH clients installed manually. If you just moved the folder that the normal standalone FAH client uses then this won't do what you want. You have to move the folder that contains FAH GPU Tracker V2.exe.

This program is fantastic.  I have three systems with SSDs and they're all setup to fold.  I wanted to reinstall them so the working directory wasn't killing my SSDs and this program is going to save me a ton of time.  Setup my main system using a storage drive and just ran the executable and it did everything for me.  Created an xml and threw it up on my website and now I can setup some systems at work in like 2 minutes. 

No need to reinstall it, just move the whole folder, it will work from where ever you decide to drag it to. Even a Thumb Drive.
 
Also make sure you have permission at work to fold on those systems. There are cases where people have gotten in deep trouble for "wasting" company resources, bandwidth, electricity, etc...

Update installed, very neat update procedure too, kudos to you!

Gpu0 userstats.xml is borked does this affect anything?

will this automatically setup the gpu clients to run on the separate gpu's because I have tried the guide and cannot get mine to work?

Hi,
 
I can't get Tracker to run my quad core Q6600 in SMP. Instead, it sees it only as a single core cpu. It sees my GPU OK.
 
I'm running Windows XP (x64).
 
The software runs fine on my other two systems, which have a Q9450 (Vista x64) and a Q9650 cpu Windows 7 Ultimate x64).
 
Is there an issue w/either the Q6600 or the operating system, XP (X64)?
 
Thanks 
.

I just updated to 3.41 and when i launch the program i get a .NET framework error. here is a screenshot.
 
i said to ignore but then i cant start any of my clients. the buttons are just greyed out.
 

Thank you for the FAH GPU Tracker V2, I love it! 

So Jedi,
Whats the difference between game pausing and just shutting down that client when you game?
I tried using the game pause before but i don't think it actually paused anything.

Technically speaking it just stops the clients automatically, but setting the status to "Paused" in the interface clarifies that the client is only stopped temporarily. In 3.43 Gaming Pause could fail to detect games in several common circumstances. This has been fixed in 3.44.
 
The systray FAH clients actually pause the WU. The FahCore continues running but with 0% load. This can still cause lag in games though, since the data remains in RAM. This option is better if you only intend to stop folding for a few minutes, but shutting down the client completely makes more sense for gaming since most people will play games for more than 5 minutes at a time.

I just let them continue to run when gaming, never even know they are running when doing so and when I'm done gaming I have a WU or possibly 2 done.

 
Fermi based GPUs handle this a lot better the the previous generations. I am not sure where I read this but Fermi GPUs are supposed to be able to context switch between compute and graphics 10x faster than GT200 based cards. This could also be due to core 15, which is used for all Fermi WUs.

Is there any way to change the status.xml file name to status2.xml while saving so I can have the stats of two or more computers on my web server, I thought about just saving them in different folders but I would rather keep everything in one.

 
Yes, you simply put the filename in the FTP server address box. You can't change the name of the local file, but in your case this doesn't matter.
