Folding Forum

The v7 client did not have accounts to log into, this is new to the v8 client. I would have to look up which point version added the feature. SO you would be creating a new account, no password or account would exist on the server for you if you just upgraded from v7. The download page for the clien...

I asked, never got a go-ahead to post it as a Public Beta as there were problems with it.

This version is not ready for release, and any problems with it you should ask about on the GitHub. The current release version is v8.5.5 and can be downloaded from here - https://foldingathome.org/start-folding/ There is a v8.5.6 that was released to internal testing, it may or may not be released ...

A google search shows Arch Linux doesn't use a single ICD loader as is used by other Linux distributions. The current information is that there is ocl-icd and several vendor supplied loaders.

try:

$ ls /etc/OpenCL/vendors

to see which are loaded on your system.

You may find more information about the error in the Windows error logs. You will need to adjust from the UTC time shown in the folding log to local time in the Windows log.

In 2020 there was no registry of usernames, they were not necessarily unique, and they were not linked to email addresses. So if you recall the username from then, that is the first step. Any passkey would have been recorded in the passkey database based on the username and email address you used to...

In addition that generation of iGPU does not include hardware FP64 support which current GPU folding cores require.

Also check that it isn't going into a power saving mode and slowing down processing. Depending on the OS and version systems may do that unless disabled when no interactive usage is detected by the OS.

I have the same issue with an ARC 140T GPU. AI says: Missing Double Precision (FP64)! Yes, the AI response is accurate this time. Intel did not include hardware support in that generation of iGPUs for FP64 processing, and as I recall the software support through the driver was only available using ...

The developer is looking into the problem, no ETA at this time.

Yes, that is one of the things that was done differently in v8 based on the experience with the defaults in v7. another is that the client does not start folding after an installation until you enable folding.

I have looked closer at your configuration, did this system originally have a different GPU that you replaced with the 5080? It has been a while since I looked at a v7 log, but did you set values for pci-bus and psi-slot: 21:31:36: <!-- Folding Slots --> 21:31:36: <slot id='0' type='CPU'> 21:31:36: ...

The v7 client inserted a date stamp into the log every 6 hours as I recall. It was not directly controllable by an open setting in Web Control or FAHControl, but an Expert option could be set to change how many seconds would go between date stamps. There is a difference between what you see in the l...

Did you update the drivers through Windows Update or by downloading them from Nvidia? That will make a difference as MS just provides the video drivers, not the full driver package with OpenCL and CUDA support. You may have to restart the system after updating with drivers from Nvidia. Possibly dese...

If you could leave in the beginning section of the log which lists hardware and software for the system, we can help you better.
