Have You Installed the New 4.0 Console Yet?

[Kov-Ice]

This is the guide, as per the folding-community forums, in case anyone needs it...

For Windows Clients:

To Install the GUI:

• Uninstall 3.x
• Install 4.0
• Be sure to use the same username and team I.D.
• Install to the same folder
• Double check your Startup folder and Start Menu to ensure only one shortcut to F@H

To Install the Console:

• Stop the old FAH3Console.exe
• Drop FAH4Console.exe in the same folder
• Start FAH4Console.exe
• Make sure your shortcuts (if any) refer to FAH4Console.exe

To Install the Console over the GUI:

• Stop the GUI
• Uninstall the GUI
• Follow the instructions for installing the Console above (obviously, there is no FAH3Console.exe to stop)

Make sure you don't accidentally start a 3.x client in the same folder as a 4.x client. V4 has a new queue format that V3 cannot read. Following the above steps, you shouldn't lose any WUs, but this is not guaranteed. I changed over both my GUI and Console with no loss of info. Make a backup of your installation folder (including the Work folder) just to be on the safe side.

I installed it in early december, so far no problems.

I installed version of the console on my linux box and it's going really slow for some reason. It went much faster with version 3. Any ideas out there? TIA.

I think I figured it out. I had a 3D screensaver that took most of the cpu cycles. Probably could have fixed it by bumping the priority on F@H, but getting rid of the screensaver worked too.

Thanks for posting this Kov-Ice!

Be sure you uninstall the old version first....I installed the new one without doing so... and I had 2 F@H programs trying to compete for a while.
