Although the "Tasks checkpoint to disk at most every X seconds" is set to 60, the client_state.xml file is updated maybe every randomly 30+ minutes.
This is not happening with 6.6.41 version.

This is not happening with 6.6.41 version.

But do the tasks checkpoint every 60 secs?, do a cc_config as following and drop it in your Boinc Data folder, then in Boinc, click advanced/read config file:

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
<checkpoint_debug>1</checkpoint_debug>
</log_flags> 
</cc_config>

The client_state.xml in likely to be only updated when the tasks finish, get reported, or fresh wu's received, etc, and not when they checkpoint.

With <checkpoint_debug>1</checkpoint_debug> I did saw the checkpoints logged on Messages every 60 seconds, but the client_state.xml file was not updated as it did with earlier versions than 6.10.17.
I saw that this update procedure has been moved to the boinc_task_state.xml found on the slot folder of the workunit, which is being updated -as a file- every 60 seconds. Did I got it right?
