HI! I have some problems, when I change my hosts preferences to work or school.
It's not working, these hosts are still working as home, of course I update them.

Does anyone has the same problem?

It's an error in Boinc. It always uses home, no matter what you choose.

You can change it manually:
Exit Boinc (File, Exit).
Edit client_state.xml with Notepad or some other plain text editor.
Change home in the line at the end:
<host_venue>home</host_venue>

into school or office.

Thanks, I edited this file, bus it seems, it's not working properly.
I have work and school prefs with "not work while computer in use" turned yes.
And nothing like this happen.
It still have 100% load on my processor.
Another bug?

Make sure once you've edited the file & restarted BOINC to Update, then it will download the preferences you have set. Otherwise you'll have to wait till BOINC updates itself.
