HK-Steve Now getting CPU tasks that are not getting any credit for......... Man What is going on??????? 2 different computers, dumping tasks.............. Windows 7 Pro or Windows server 2012 OS.. Never seen this before...........Is Central sending all the bad tasks to everyone else?????? Opps, was that some trash talking right there!!!!!!!! ******************************* Date: 2015-11-03 ******************************* 14:15:54:WARNING:WU01:FS00:Server did not like results, dumping 15:26:18:WARNING:WU00:FS00:Server did not like results, dumping 18:15:02:WARNING:WU00:FS00:Server did not like results, dumping ******************************* Date: 2015-11-03 ******************************* 19:23:47:WARNING:WU01:FS00:Server did not like results, dumping
I don't know which projects and server, but it could be the same problem as a couple of weeks ago, see: SMP (CPU) Server 171.64.65.124... Server did not like results, dumping. It has just been reported on the Folding Forum: - Project 9018 (Run 491, Clone 7, Gen 93) Server did not like results, dumping- Two smp disliked by server [171.64.65.124] Edit: Changed the link of the first Folding Forum post, because it is merged with the second post now.

troy8dPrizes can be added up until the point the selection process has begun. Once prize selection has begun the prize pool will be locked, as it would be unfair to have someone not select a prize because it was not available when they went through the selection process.
Yes, those are the obvious implications of the process. The prize selection process begins soon after every team has completed this year's challenge! 
If we wait until after every team has completed the challenge, it will be another week beyond that before most people find out if/what they have won. That makes the whole thing anticlimactic. Past experience has shown that people lose interest by that point. If it were up to me, the prize pool would be locked roughly a week before the end of the contest. Otherwise there isn't really much point to the prize picker tool - might as well just go back to PMs.

That is a good point Punchy. In the past when PMs were used (and the process was much longer and more drawn out), the drawing was held near the end of the contest and the (slow) distribution began immediately thereafter. Given the efficiency of your prize picker we should still have the goal of having the drawing at the contest comes to an end, with prize selection beginning approximately a week before then to make sure everyone has enough time to pick a prize. At current rates that is just over a week before prize selection begins and thus the prize pool is locked. Thank you for that that very insightful input (as always) Punchy.

LearjetMinako Win10 users, check your folding rigs. My laptop installed Win10 updates which caused the GPU to fail. Just restart the rig for the updates to be applied and get back to folding.
One more reason I will not upgrade to Windows 10, you cannot turn off Windows Updates and set it to manual updates.
True. I prefer to choose what and when to install updates. Microsoft is even being forceful for Win7 users by downloading the Win10 upgrade and try to install it with the regular updates. You just gotta hit the decline button when prompted on the upgrade. The laptop came with Win8.1, which I hated even more than Win10. If I really had to, I could install Win7 as I have a spare key for it.

Yeah, for me too. We're being sabotaged in the Eastern Zone especially in the Philly area. I have had two bad WU since the contest started.

i think some of that is because it's the beginning of the month and people are just doing their 1.5mil for the evga bucks. You can see how at the end of sep there was a low point and Oct had a drop off around the 11th.

Gunsvnvmc Titan X will not go in the PCIE slot it sits on top of the USB headers so put the pc back together and just now got it folding again.
that sucks man what are you going to do? edit: 110 million points for the team today way to go guys also 15 people with over 1 million ppd average currently
Will finish the contest then look for a new motherboard that will do 4 way SLI so the three Titans will fit in it. Move the the motherboard that will only hold two GPUs into the PC that blue screens on me every couple of days. Sell the Intel 2600K CPU and junk the old motherboard and ram.
I maybe interested in putting that old system to good use crunching WCG looking for a cure for AIDS and EBOLI. Shoot me a PM as to what you would want for it.

Yeah, also been seeing "Empty work server assignment" errors again popping in the logs, but so far has resolved in an hour or much less. I wish Pande Group would get its act together, otherwise as GPUs get more powerful this will become an ever bigger problem. bcavnaugh Core 21 P9208 seems to be a winner right now. +150000.0 for Credit, no status for PPD though. 8 Hours to complete. Almost reminds me of the old BA days.
Yeah, no freaking kidding! I started getting Core 21 projects on the 1st and my Titan Black chews through them in a third less time than the Core 18's require. The Core 21 projects are obliterating the PPD average I gave for the contest. I didn't intend to lowball my estimate  Sure wish I could get these all the time, running no flags and getting a 40/60 mix at the moment.

I have two Core x21 projects running now and both are averaging around an eight hour time to completion. They are certainly dragging my ppd down. I am now under 640,000 ppd after averaging nearly 800,000 ppd for what seems like forever.

So sorry to say that my system will be offline until some time tomorrow, my 780Ti keeps failing WU's not just Core21. I have removed the client-type flag completely, and have seen no real change. I have ordered a 980Ti which should arrive tomorrow and i will starting folding again ASAP! Hope not to have let my teammates down too much :P I should be able with the new card to catch up again :)

No worries aimon. Sorry you're having issues but you're not letting anybody down. I think ordering another card goes beyond the call of duty and you are going to love the upgrade. Hope to see you chewing up proteins and spitting out WUs real soon. Good luck with the new hardware.

Who would I need to PM to change gift donation regions? I did 2 sets of ram and figure I should have made them world wide. The rest of the stuff is big enough and heavy enough that shipping would get expensive really quick. And if anyone has questions about the test bench or the cable extensions I put up send me a PM and I'll answer asap.

Don't feel bad, it's not your fault. If you have an overclock, some WU don't agree with it. I really enjoy my 980's ,so the TI should be pretty Schweet! GL!!

Looks like the "empty work assignment server" problem is getting worse. One of my machines has had the CPU idling for 4 hours and still waiting.  If a competition wasn't going on I'd just turn the rig off at this point, because last time they had this problem it took a week to resolve and I saw machines waiting entire days sometimes for SMP projects.

Well I add some 780's into the mix. Mostly to see how well they do on Core 21 and also to keep up and over take Gunsvnvmc by the weekend.  Also I need to restart my 980HC Rig because of a Core 21 taking 100% of the GPU 100% of the time and seeing video slowness and non responsive Desktop. So in doing this I might drop in PPD for today.

I've had this happen, it is on the verge of failing. A quick pause always fixed it for me.
I've had this happen several times as well, and the pause/unpause that un4givn85 mentioned works most every time to get it back on track.
