I just replaced my 275 with a 470 in my main rig. I deleted the file and reconfiged for GPU3 added the FERMI flag. But it's not picking up any WU's. What did I do wrong?
From that screenshot you are running the GPU3 client and it is getting core 15 WUs. What I would try in this case: 1. Stop the client 2. Client -> GPU0 -> Delete WU 3. Delete FahCore_15.exe from the GPU0 folder 4. Restart the client EDIT: I also noticed a few other things you should be aware of: 1. The machine ID set for GPU0 is supposed to be 3, not 2 (may cause issues since the SMP client is given 2 by default) 2. That WU shows up as Anonymous for team 0, while the Tracker is showing your user/team combo. Something is seriously wrong with the client.cfg files. If you know how to fix it manually then that works, but otherwise you can redownload the FAH clients by doing Setup -> Download FAH Clients. Note that this WILL delete all the current WUs, so you might want to wait for those to finish first.

Thanks for the reply, I guess it didn't like me putting in the 470. I did loose a bigadv that was 90% finished. It wouldn't start because of the conflict od machine ID's

I guess I will just have to live with the one xml page for now unless in the future you support SFTP or changing the name of the local file
Thanks for the great program.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to change teams in the tracker while a WU is in progress?
I know when I changed users to fold for DutchForce I found I needed to reinstall the tracker.
Now I just want to help the W7Forums guy reach the team rank of 1200 so EOC will track their individual stats or whatever it is he said their goal was. I figured I'd give him a few days of help since I'd already reached 250K and had awhile before folding for brcromer later this month.
I'm about to go out for the evening, I'd like to make the change if it's possible while still running, so when the current WU's finish it'll start giving credit to the W7 team.
TIA,
JD

Any changes to the Tracker's config will take effect for the next WU. This applies even if the client is running when the setting is changed. This is one of the major advantages to using -oneunit on all the clients. If you want to make a setting apply sooner (like 7 cores instead of 8 for SMP) then you can simply restart the client to have the changes take effect immediately.

I just updated to 3.39 and now I cant see the whole window and I have no resizing options? Tried restarting to no avail? Program is working as CPU and GPUs are at 100%
Ok, that's just plain messed up. There is no code in the Tracker that ever resizes that window. Try reinstalling it (by either moving the exe to a new folder or just deleting everything else.) If that doesn't work then I really don't what to tell you other than the problem is specific to your system configuration. If I can't reproduce the issue it's VERY hard to fix anything.
I find myself in a very similar situation. I'm not sure how it happened, but it had nothing to do with an update. My clients are still working as I monitor two rigs through HFM.NET. When would be the best time for me to follow your advice since I assume reinstalling will kill whatever work units are currently running. Should I try ending the tracker in Task Manager and see what happens when I restart it? TIA, JD

If this happens you can end the Tracker is task manager. Then, you will need to end all instances of FAH.exe, FAH_GPU2.exe, and FAH_GPU3.exe. DO NOT end the FahCore_xx.exe processes, they will exit on their own in 5-10 seconds after the client is closed. You shouldn't end up losing any WUs.

One more question jedi... Is there any chance you'd consider making it possible to control multiple users/teams on one machine via your Tracker? I'm currently helping a small team and plan to take part in the Tribute to brc4romer as well. My current setup is two machines each running your Tracker app to control 3 clients each. Rig1 is two GPU's and an SMP2 client and Rig2 is 3 GPU clients. If I had more flexibility in controlling these clients through the Tracker I could devote 2 clients to each of the users/teams I wanted to fold for. I'd like to fold with the SMP client and one GPU for myself, two GPU's for brcromer, and two GPU's for the W7forums team I'm giving a boost to. If it's too much trouble I understand, but if you've ever thought of it before here's one post supporting the need for it.

The main problem with doing this is that it greatly increases the complexity of the reconfig. Right now I have code that just loops through all the clients doing the same thing over and over. It's not that I couldn't do it, but the only way this feature will ever come about is through a command line option to disable the Tracker's reconfig. Basically you would have to set up the client.cfg files manually.

Hey Jedi, any idea why a 8600gt would be reporting a Unstable machine error in your client? http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=770022 Don't know if you've seen the thread and would love to get it working.

This error has nothing to do with the Tracker. The client is exiting after sending back a WU that failed with an UNSTABLE_MACHINE error. All the Tracker does in this case is report that this failure has occurred. If you ran the FAH client by itself you would have the same problem.

^Could be an unstable overclock, a game running whilst folding on teh same GPU, an EUE, could be many things, deffinatly not the tracker though.

Thank you for such an awesome program. I can't believe I didn't find this program earlier. I love that it downloads the clients wherever the install folder is. I have an SSD and it was a pain to move the clients off the SSD to a HDD.

So I finished a bigadv today and my CPU picked up another WU. It completed 4%
In that time period my 470 finished a WU with a machine ID of 3 the next WU it started up as machine ID 1
Now my bigadv stopped saying machine ID 2 was being used. I can't get it started back up.
I haven't changed anything.
What happened?

You need to get the client.cfg file fixed. There are a couple of ways to do this. I'm trying to think of which is the quickest, but they all take a little time and effort, and one is pretty quick but can be disastrous if you're not very careful. I'll stay away from that tricky one. 1. Stop all folding on that rig. 2. Exit Tracker. 3. Copy all sub-folders to a temporary location (remember where that is). 4. Start Tracker again. 5. In the Setup menu, click on Download FAH Clients. (This deletes all current work in the subfolders, that is why you need to make a copy first.) 6. Exit Tracker once more. 7. Move the necessary files back to their appropriate sub-folders. (FAHlog.txt, MyFolding.html, queue.dat, starttime.txt, userinfo.txt, and the work, TEMP, Completed WUs, and Failed WUs folders) 8. Start Tracker again. 9. Start your folding clients back up. 10. Enjoy the accumulation of points and the satisfaction of doing good science.  Had to stop at 10 steps, I just can't cope with those 12 step programs. howdy2u2

jedi95 will have the final say on this, but I really don't think that it has anything to do with the Tracker. Tracker is there to do the set-up and start the clients, it doesn't do anything with the results. The client always has full control over the retrieval, folding, and return of the work units. It really is starting to sound like your ISP might be jerking you around a bit. Or it might be a new anomaly in folding that needs to get worked out.

idk i'm having the same issues ever since I installed the tracker. With the old client there would be a delay of up to a couple hours, but with the tracker it can take 8+ hours for a WU to show up in my stats. When I open up the FAHlog, the last entry is for 3:02pm.

I had to uninstall tracker completly and reinstall. I could'nt get it to download a new SMP client, it kept saying that I was not connected to the internet (which I was).
I love this program but have had several issues that I would have been able to resolve on my own using the console client. I'm sure with a little tweeking it will be rock solid. The nice thing is the set up only takes 5 minutes so when I do have to reinstall it's not that big a deal.
I've made several attempts to change the machine ID in the config file but it never saves.

The reason I have no fix for this is that I can't reproduce machine ID changes by the Tracker. The only time the machine ID should ever end up getting changed is if the file is edited manually. There is no code in the Tracker that changes an existing machine ID. Unless you can figure out what exactly you are doing that results in the machine ID getting changed, I really can't help you. I recommend enabling the "save logs from completed WUs" option so that you can figure out when the machine ID gets changed. Then, I will need all the FAHlog.txt files from the affected client(s) and LOG.txt. That should give me a better idea of what is going on.

I've had the machine ID change on me before, and it seems like it happens when you start all clients at the same time. Maybe there is something that gets the clients confused at that time. Could you set Tracker to put a small delay between starting each client and see if that stops the problems?

I don't think starting multiple clients at once could cause this issue. I will test starting all 9 clients at the same time to see what happens later. If that doesn't cause a problem then it's something else.

I doubt it, since game settings won't affect the Tracker or the clients.

SMP bigadv issue....
Tracker says it's running and when you click on SMP, the Client Action field says "Working." 100% load on 7 cores. However the % complete has not changed in over an hour. TPF is 40mins so it should have incremented by 1 by now.
I've stopped and restart the job. I've stopped, closed tracker, open tracker and restart the job. No luck! Suggestions?
