ATI GPU2 core issue

Due to a bug in ATI GPU2 core version 1.01, the core has a bug in how it stores trr files. This makes the files too large, leading to corruption, leading to no points server side. We released a bug fix core yesterday (version 1.02) and it looks like that fixes the problem.

We are doing an automatic core upgrade today (Saturday) at 9:30am pacific time. If you want to fix this before then, you could manually delete your core. The client will then automatically download a new one (v 1.02).

However, if you see that the WU is still in the queue, you will need to delete the WU, either by using -delete N or just by deleting queue.data. Do not use qfix. It may help the client upload the corrupt data, but the server will discard it anyway.

UPDATE: we've sent an auto update message, so cores should be updating. We have a limited crew over the weekend, but we're keeping an eye on this.

Edit by Mod: Corrected the information about qfix.
