Since the server blue-screened and had to be rolled back to an old backup, I've been getting constant errors when attempting SRBase workloads. The program "TF 0.29 (opencl_ati_101)" always runs for 9 to 10 seconds, then errors out with a "calculation error". I've already tried restarting the project in the hopes that it was just a corrupted file from the crash, but to no avail. All other projects I'm contributing are working correctly, even the GPU-based ones. Any clues of what may be happening?

There is no change in apps since crash, must be on your side. Mine is running on RX5500XT. Try to copy the app outside boinc and run mfakto.exe -st. Your selftests failed.

Driver problem? What driver is installed?

Standard AMD drivers, version 24.10.1 If other projects are running with the card then we need an update soon for mfakto. The devs are working on it with 6000+ serie. Our coder has tested it on a smaller 6xxx card and it was working.

Looks like my self-tests are indeed failing - problem being that they didn't use to fail before: Microsoft has the infuriating habit of overwriting AMD drivers (perhaps even Nvidia drivers and Intel drivers too) with their own castrated (no OpenCL) versions. My RX 6400 card only produces errors on TF, as does the Radeon 780M IGP of my Ryzen 7 8700G. Where is that mfakto.ini that I need to update? Why don't the developers show a more pro-active attitude? If AMD launches a new range of APUs and/or cards, they will be used.

Our coder has tested it on a smaller 6xxx card and it was working. The 7000-series is out and the 8000-series is waiting round the corner. Time for an app that is based upon capabilities, not an entry in an *.ini file.

If you want to try to test with beta1, run mfakto.exe -st in a separate folder. https://download.mersenne.ca/mfakto/windows I hope most of the errors are gone in beta2+ but still in development.

Since the server blue-screened and had to be rolled back to an old backup, I've been getting constant errors when attempting SRBase workloads. The program "TF 0.29 (opencl_ati_101)" always runs for 9 to 10 seconds, then errors out with a "calculation error". I've already tried restarting the project in the hopes that it was just a corrupted file from the crash, but to no avail. All other projects I'm contributing are working correctly, even the GPU-based ones. Any clues of what may be happening?
