Next Attempt: Unknown

[arthurdn]

I am in FAH since 2008...
I like it, I LOVE it.
But FAH developers, please, respect donors.

"Next Attempt: Unknown" - this is frustrating.
Write time till next task please instead of this.
And 1-5+ hours before next attempt - this is not fair...

+Latest version starts well on some PCs, but on other it requires reinstallation or manual start each time after reboot.

Next attempt unknown shows up when I am folding. Logically it makes sense as the next attempt will occur once the WU has completed. However, it can be a friendlier message like "After current WU finishes" time can be provided but it varies depending on the TPF and if the system is shutdown or not. IMO, simpler to keep it as "After current WU finishes"

Please note that the V7 was developed several years ago... at that time, if the WU can't be uploaded, it was due to a physical server issue which involves human intervention. If it happened over weekend, it could involve few days. Thus, the timer was meant to deal with server outages, not the current situation where the demand has overshadowed the supply. Having said this, the latest beta has adjustments to address this new situation.

The latest version works fine if you know what to do next. CPU folding is fine. For GPU folding, you can either manually download the GPUs.txt file and restart the client or reboot the system and it will automatically download the GPUs.txt file after a while. The latest beta has fixed this issue too.

Also, keep in mind that currently there is a single F@H Developer... not a team of developers. Work is being done to involve the community so we just have to wait and see what happens
