Folding Forum

I'm happy to say I did not run into that situation when I upgraded my hackintosh to v8.5.5. The machine has a GPU usable under Linux, but it still showed up unchecked running macOS.

I made the mistake of checking the GPU-enabled box in 8.4.9 needlessly, and 8.5.5 compounded my issue by not giving me a box to uncheck.

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

This resolved my issue as well. Thank you!

Except this appears to be a bug that was keeping the client from being assigned work. Would need to see what exactly was sent to the servers in the WU request by the client. If it was for an unsupported GPU, or in the case of those reporting here for an unsupported OS for GPU projects, it would keep them from getting an assignment.
