Hi all

I have attempted to make contact with the Project Admin at the randomly selected project for Sprint #17.

I await confirmation that their server will be able to cope with the expected high number of task downloads once the Sprint starts.

Anyone else getting "Scheduler request failed" messages from Gerasim?
I'm not getting any tasks.

[EDIT]: looks like a boincstats BAM! error, detaching the managed project & reattaching manually works.
Maybe a tip for others having a similar issue...

Hi

I've not had any issues getting either CPU or GPU tasks.

What version are you running? The newer versions 7.24 up might be the problem. Try 7.20 or 7.16
