"don't need"... Your client idles, so we have to presume there's no work. To confirm, go to BOINC Manager Tasks view and check that the first button on left says "Show Active Tasks". Even if your games are not active, if any of the <exclude_app> are loaded, BOINC would also stop, but there would be a "suspend computation" type message.
The log information requested would give us information in detail why there is no need, and what resources are idling. Also visit the client_state.xml file and copy past the below sample section in a reply. <time_stats> <on_frac>0.992394</on_frac> <connected_frac>0.808680</connected_frac> <cpu_and_network_available_frac>0.808032</cpu_and_network_available_frac> <active_frac>0.999174</active_frac> <gpu_active_frac>0.999174</gpu_active_frac> <client_start_time>1359629530.176544</client_start_time> <previous_uptime>20155.710838</previous_uptime> <last_update>1359649679.870039</last_update> </time_stats> |

This line is suspicious, but the "don't need" message would be something like "work fetch suspended", which you can see in the projects tab.

Client_state.xml
<time_stats> <on_frac>0.738016</on_frac> <connected_frac>0.997255</connected_frac> <cpu_and_network_available_frac>0.998151</cpu_and_network_available_frac> <active_frac>0.975237</active_frac> <gpu_active_frac>0.975237</gpu_active_frac> <client_start_time>1359652099.030342</client_start_time> <previous_uptime>1390.819956</previous_uptime> <last_update>1359653481.440287</last_update> </time_stats> If either game was running my CPU would be above 50% anyways, even at idle most likely, but I have changed the CPU to run always (setting: 0). I have no tasks to run and it doesn't want to fetch new work after updating. |

This is in my quick view the critical line as per my last post:
1/31/2013 9:10:20 AM | World Community Grid | [work_fetch] fetch share 0.000 (blocked by prefs) Open the Local Preferences and hit the Clear button and OK, so we know that any local prefs are not causing the issue, only any web setting, which were last changed on Jan.22, 9 days ago. |

This part is still hitting my log every second:
1/31/2013 10:12:56 AM | | [suspend] net_susp 0 file_xfer_susp 0 reason 0 1/31/2013 10:12:56 AM | | [network_status] status: don't need connection I cleared my preferences and it still gives me that same statement, that it is blocked. Should I try uninstalling and deleting the folder? |

If changing the Activity menu option "Network Activity Always Available" is not making things move, then go ahead, uninstall, delete the data_dir and subs and install again. Do boot after the uninstall and delete.
What else was there in your cc_config.xml [before you delete]? I'd really like to understand why this is. |

Don't wait on me... just go ahead and do the reinstall stuff. Assume you made no change to cc_config.xml before this happened, Yours'has a few lines I've never used before...
<http_transfer_timeout>300</http_transfer_timeout> <http_transfer_timeout_bps>10</http_transfer_timeout_bps> <rec_half_life_days>10.000000</rec_half_life_days> ... but doing the RTFM, is seems the 3rd one with value 10 is default [Did you use BOINCTasks to populate this file?] Wondered what the net stats section was in the client_state.xml too. Sample: <net_stats> <bwup>33517.844203</bwup> <avg_up>42492457.119347</avg_up> <avg_time_up>1359658537.965483</avg_time_up> <bwdown>110583.869323</bwdown> <avg_down>398873.161640</avg_down> <avg_time_down>1359629562.487391</avg_time_down> </net_stats> |
