we plan to let the servers be hammered by V7 users trying to download something which is not working on that version

You mean like the ECB and Bazball 2.0?

Nah, better

eventually there will be some new projects or folding cores that the v7 client will not be able to handle I will likely be staying with the 7.6.21 version +LARS browser extension on most of my devices because version 8.4.9 doesn't easily let me control their operating times to avoid the more expens...

Other than major bugs fixes, if it ain't broken, don't fix it

9800x3d cpu comes with iGPU

Once you set it in your settings, dark mode will persist on every PC.

At the moment AMD is using opencl, which is nowhere near as efficient in using AMD hardware. HIP fahcore is in the works. This will bring AMD performance up to par

I'm running v8.4.9 on CachyOS, my settings are 12 threads on my Ryzen 5 7600X, and both my RX 9070 XT GPU and Radeon iGPU are enabled. Ah, you see, now we are not guessing what is happening to your folding system. Since you decided to run Arch based distro, I assume you know your way around Linux. ...

Every time I try to start folding, only one WU is done at a time and the second one is stuck on Assign Wait. How do I fix this? One WU per device only. If you want to fold more you have to have more devices in that computer which can fold. One WU for your CPU, one for GPU. Since my mind reading is ...

Are there any stats on the breakdown of popularity of operating systems for FAH these days? Just curious.

Not by distros.

Boys are working on pre-built rpm to be published, so hopefully we won't need tutorials on how to install the client from tarballs

At the moment whatever projects are not running on v7, that is because of some bug (can't remember exact reason). More and more of internal folders are moving to v8, so naturally v7 will get left out So, that might be the reason why I keep getting mostly the same projects (18260-3 & 16773-5)? N...

I though p18261 wouldn't assign to clients <8.5 ... I might be mixing project numbers. So, some projects aren't being issued to v7 clients? Will this mean that eventually there won't being any projects, perhaps just for newer GPUs, for v7 clients? Eventually, yes. But it will not going to be forcef...

if a client is not allowing you to uncheck something, that something is disabled anyways

Yeah, we need those packages for rpm distros published on website

yes, you are. according to you 261 was working fine on v7 for you
