Exception: Could not get assignment.

Post by Oceanrift »

Hi guys. I've been having having problems getting slot 00 (CPU) to retrieve work assignments ever since I installed my new GPU. I tried reinstalling the program and am able to retreive work assignments for both the CPU and GPU but after the CPU finishes the first work assignment the problem starts again. Any help would be appreciated. Here is my system info:

Welcome to the folding support forum.

With your system having an i7 for a CPU, moving the power slider to Full has the client requesting WU's for 7 threads. These used to be more commonly available, but due to high rates of failure at that thread setting current projects do not assign for that. Either leave the slider at Medium, or change the CPU thread setting in FAHControl to 6 and you should get assignments for your CPU slot.

The next version of the client currently in public beta testing will automatically adjust CPU requests to an available WU instead of not getting an assignment.
