I'm getting a message which says "Communicating with BOINC client. Please wait..." with "Retrieving system state; please wait...".

The BOINC manager is disconnected and nothing appears to be happening, all crunching stopped. Pressing 'cancel' against the first message above gets everything going again, but pressumably nothing will happen until I or my micromanager presses the button. This is occurring more and more frequently.

Is anyone else getting this?

I was seeing this earlier today when I tried upgrading BOINC..

I uninstalled it and reinstalled the older version.

Now I know why I stick to 6.6.36 -

.

Yes i have the same, i have been trying many versions and must admit all versions 6.10.x seem to have this problem

I even tried 6.6.38 and that showed the same problem, weird enough i have it only when updating from the gpu projects happen.

So its related to the gpu projects but what causes this i am not sure.

Sadly i have seen it also on 6.6.36 but used a trick to solve it by first install 6.4.5 then after it started once install 6.6.36 over it and then it was error free again.

If i don't quit boinc i will consider moving back to older version.

Its new, its relative fast... my new bicycle

Yep..very painful! I wish they'd get this thing right.....

What version of BOINC? When does it happen, on system start?

I've been keeping up with the latest versions of 6.10.*, and have been seeing it more noticably on 6.10.16, although I think I saw it before that. I've just upgraded to 6.10.17 and have seen the same message almost immediately.

I've also had a PM from someone with no RAC to be able to post here, who cannot get any work becuase of this problem, who are on Linux and I've asked for more details.

I haven't seen it on .17 yet, but many times on .16.

Try going into Windows Task Manager and killing all the BOINC processes: boinc.exe, boincmgr.exe and don't forget to kill boinctray.exe. For some reason boinctray.exe seems to cause problems on some systems, removing it from starting (in msconfig) might solve your problem.
