Hi boysanic

I would like to say thank you for your effort to run Minecraft@Home on the BOINC side. It was a long wait until you restarted it again and now we have a constant flow of new WUs. Excellent!

Some high-up may occur, but you will sort it out with our help, I am sure.

Keep your good work going on!

You just need to set an exception for the entire BOINC directory to not be checked by your antivirus.
Thanks, I did this! Started to work... however the error went after a few days, without further intervention from my side. However now I see a similar problem on one of my Linux Computers: It seems to me that it is a problem of interference from another BOINC project (latinsquares), occupying slots.

I get quite a lot of these errors on my Win10 Computers - it seems that others do not have these errors: 
<core_client_version>8.0.2</core_client_version>

Any suggestions? I have already reattached to the project.

There is a problem with Xoroshigo2 v1.05 - Runtime fix. Norton dedects all WUs as Troyan:
Nombre de la amenaza: Win64:Evo-gen [Trj]
Tipo de amenaza: Troyano - Esta amenaza simula ser otra cosa (p. ej., una imagen, un documento u otro archivo) para engañarte, de modo que lo ejecutes e infecte tu equipo.
Estado: Se movió a Cuarentena
Opciones: Informar de una falsa detección
Detectado por: Auto-Protect
En el equipo de: 19/4/25 10:42
Último uso: 19/4/25 10:42
Elemento de inicio: No

Version v1.04 did run without any problems after I made an exemption for the "xoroshigo2_wrapper_1.04_windows_x86_64" file.
The same I made with "xoroshigo2_wrapper_1.05_windows_x86_64" however each time a WU starts it creates a tmp file, something like "cpyB38D.tmp" each time with another name. This tmp file is put to quarantine.

Credit was already quite high for the given run time. I wouldn't suggest going higher. You're fixing the issue. If run times return to a more normal 1-2 hours the deadline is acceptable too.

I just try to figure out which Minecraft to install on the W10 box https://minecraftathome.com/minecrafthome/results.php?hostid=12228 for my 10 year old boy and to be able to see the tallest cactus this project will ever discover at the same time. And no, I never have played Minecraft myself.
