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.

Tim

Hi all

The randomly selected project for Sprint #18 has now been programmed into the FB website.

Once this Sprint ends there will then be a 4 week break until 17th October when the Sprints will re-start at 22:00 UTC.

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

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

Thanks for sharing the tip @ [BAT] Svennemans, this solved my problem on one computer.

Boinc Version 7.24 and 8.02 on this machine.
