Is anyone still seeing this issue, or did that happen to fix it? ID: 48516 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I'm seeing all wu's being marked as invalid...as are others! I think that's an application problem. Are they immediately erroring out? On my end it looks like workunits are being reported and validated correctly. ID: 48518 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Thought you might have made a change as I was running an app_info and 2 concurrent wu's, so I got rid of the app_info and restarted. Still being marked as invalid.

Resetting didn't help and neither detaching / reattaching. Uninstalled Boinc and a complete re-install did the trick for me. Running n-body merrily now...just have to wait for the validation trick... Still don't know hy it seems to work. And apologies to my wingmen for all the aborted tasks... ID: 48599 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The GPU WU's run again at my rig and are validated and granted credit as well. But thet are running in high priorty while the deadline is May 16th and they only take 01:55 to complete. And they cued up, before one maximum two where ready and then send to your database and I got new ones. Last week everything was running like a rocket.
