Edit: after testing with EA Games, I was able to duplicate the problem by manually resetting the computer time.

The BOINC message isn't actually a problem, of itself - just gives you information that something odd has happened, and the BOINC has coped with it.

I think you're actually seeing a fixed version - it was much worse before. Have a read of my trac ticket [trac]#588[/trac]. In a way, BOINC has done you a favour by helping you pick up a problem in EA Games.


Agreed.. its sensitivity is merely a notice of issues. Thank you for the link.. will check it out and add it to my discussion with EA.

They have some great games, honestly the one I downloaded is just for a 3D test.. but more and better on the horizon. I would actually encourage other gamers to go ahead and start it, but to watch out for the issue and help push for a fix.. there is strength in numbers. Worst case scenario: I might have to suspend crunching while using the computer.. and just remember to CLOSE the Origin software when done.
