I believe that the global_prefs_override.xml file is supposed to look exactly like the global_prefs.xml file in structure. Your global_prefs_override.xml file is not an XML file because it does not have one top level tag. It needs to be wrapped in <global_prefernces> </global_preferneces>.

I investigated the configuration files located in C:\ProgramData\Boinc, and also validated that read_global_prefs_override is set. In my config files (global_prefs and global_prefs_override), max_cpus is set to 1, but still there are four tasks running, using all the processor cores. What could cause this issue? I attached the configuration files and the output of boinccmd.exe --get_tasks. with best regards, Emi ________________________________________ Von: boinc_dev [[email protected]] im Auftrag von David Anderson [[email protected]] Gesendet: Dienstag, 5.

It's written by the set_global_prefs_override() GUI RPC. As the name implies, values specified here override those in global_prefs.xml. Note: after calling set_global_prefs_override(), you must call read_global_prefs_override() to have the new preferences take effect. -- David On 05-Mar-2013 12:02 PM, Jöbstl, Emanuel wrote: > Hello Boinc Devs, > > Again, I need some help: > > 1) > > I noticed that my local Boinc preferences are being overwritten with the > preferences from the project server.
