    Okay, so no performance gain or wu's that need this client. Guess I'll mess with it one day, but it's not a pressing issue for me on Windows.

    Just to let you know Kram, if you update, it will wipe whatever unit you are currently working on.  Make sure you complete the WU you are on, and then update.  I made the mistake of not doing that and lost 2 hours work :/.

    I updated the rig with 2 1060s a few days ago and that rig has been down since. It only recognises the cpu slot. I played with various settings and finally got it to start folding on the 2 cards but the ppd went from 780,000 to less than 135,000 and showed errors. Uninstalled fah through terminal, reloaded nvidia drivers and reinstalled fah, same thing. Booted up windows and started crunching again. Haven't had much time to mess with it to figure out what is going on. Will probably end up wiping the drive and starting fresh on that rig and leaving the other 2 as is.

    There has been a serious issue with Stanford and issuing of GPU WU.  Try rebooting the unit.  I know I had several of mine just stop folding altogether and rebooting was the only way I was able to get them going.  There is actually a thread on the folding at home forums about this issue.

    Rebooted many, many times throughout the above process. I have viewed those forums and others throughout. Waiting til Sunday when I'm off work to deal with this and will most likely start fresh with the last version.

    Think I'll skip this until the wu's require a newer client.

    +1   finish your WU before any PC software changes
     
    Turn off all background software to make corrupted install less likely
     
    Make a restore point first

    It may be worth noting that that rig is using an amd chip n board. Maybe not. Restore point, yes. Should have but didn't lol

    OK, so I actually finished work and made it home before sunset for a change. I started  comparing settings between rigs and found that for some reason the "slightly higher...." option was selected. Not something I ever clicked before, in fact I don't believe I ever even looked at that page. Ticked  "Lowest Possible (recommended)" under folding core priority and things are returning to normal. Almost anyway. But I think that is because a WU was 1/3 completed when I shut it down 3 days ago.
    Configure > Advanced > folding core priority > Lowest Possible (recommended) > save > facepalm  
    ***Edit, following morning- confirmed, back to normal.
    This was the error that was showing but for both slots
    ERROR:WU01:FS01:Failed to start core: OpenCL device matching slot 1 not found, try setting 'opencl-index' manually

    I paused my client, uninstalled it but kept the data folder and installed new client and all worked just fine.

    That's how I updated my other two rigs, had no issues with them doing things that way.

    Are you set to Full in the Client Tool?
    If not it will Stop and Start when you are using your computer.

    That is Normal and is part of Folding when you are set to Full.
    Are you Folding on the CPU?
     
    Not finding your info under mooisay are you Folding under a Different User Name?
