Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
Joined up to the team. I don't think i'm showing on the team page yet though. But then I haven't completed my first WU.
Bring up the options menu (triangle), select "Identity" and then "Join an Existing Team" and input 98618.
I joined up!
Its kind of a confusing program. I cant do anything other than enter my name and team number. Everything else has been grayed out on my mac. I don't see the point of the protein 3d demo. How do I find my folding stats?

^ your options are in System Preferences, you need to log out, then back in to run it.

Excellent!
I have installed it on a few machines already. (PC and Mac) So far I like the feel of InCrease 2.4 the best. I love being able to have a pause button.
I still have yet to finish with one WU's. I hear that the first task takes a while. It could be a few days.
Tomorrow I will have a few more macs running it. I'm setting up a maya rendering farm at work. I may as well stress test the machines in the mean time.
Wish me luck

It took a few days but I finally got some WU's in. After seeing how long it takes a G5 1.8ghz to finish up with one WU, I think I will opt out on the idea of setting any of the G4's. All Macs are holding strong.
Whats your set up ZenPirate?

Well, I've been a bit bad lately... central air electricity takes preference over folding
I run on a Playstation 3, and I run big work units on my overlcoked Vista box (1.8 core 2 duo @ 3.0ghz)
I ran on my Macbook Pro, but the machine is with moving around too much to be worth leaving it plugging away 24-7

I hear ya, Staying cool in the summer is indeed a preference that we share.
I'm curious how well the PS3 runs. Does it handle the heat well? Do you keep it running 24/7?
It looks like our team is quickly making its way up the ranks.

How do you choose what kind of work units you are processing? It seems like the first WU I processed on all of the machines where huge 1700 pointers, however lately they just seem to be little 200-300 pointers.
Is the current one not working for you?Bah. Still no new client version for me to try
Sweet! I'm up to 30k now. Thought it would take another two days
40k perhaps by Monday?

Mike's getting some high point units. Better watch out though, I'm powering through with the new nvidia GPU beta client..which are a PITA to get going... I'm pushing a work unit about every hour, but they're low point units. Still a much higher ppd than the PS3 client.
Nice! You may just catch up with me soon.
I've got a quad core 3ghz mac pro running at 118pph. The other 2 machines are running at 54pph. I shut down all of the G5 macs because they where way too slow. It took them 3 days to do what takes the iMacs 13 hours to finish a work load.
Just for kicks, I ran 9 machines (17 CPU's) last week end and that's basically why my points jumped up by 20k. I wont be doing that again any time soon though. It was just a stress test for the rendering machines.
