I getting missing VC .dll messages when I get WU 13456 on my GTX 1080 cards, ALL of them (10 cards), I have 2 RTX 2080 cards that do fine.
This WU comes from WS 54.157.202.86.

Oh no!

Can you give s any more information about which DLLs it thinks are missing? And perhaps a log showing which version of the core is being downloaded or used (should be 0.0.14)?

Thanks so much for helping us track this down.

It's not an issue with the work unit.
Core 22 version 0.0.14 requires a runtime package which may, or may not, have been installed on your computer.

Thanks, @aetch! We _should_ be distributing any runtime packages that are necessary for 0.0.14---if not, that's a bug, and on us to fix!

Thanks for the pointer!

John,

In my case it was MSVCP140.dll and then api-ms-win-crt-runtime-|1-1-0.dll that were missing. (it's been different .dlls for others)

On one computer I had to install several Microsoft packages to get that P13456 to Fold:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable
Windows Update KB2999226-x64

See my answer (and John's too) here : viewtopic.php?p=352578#p352578

I wonder if maybe updating the video drivers might add the .dll's? I say this because the 2 RTX 2080 cards don't get this error as they are using the latest drivers.

Did some digging, all of my GTX 1080 cards is using core22 0.0.13, the RTX 2080 cards is using core22 0.0.14. I'm going to update the video driver on 1 of my PC's with GTX 1080 and see what happens.

p.s. forgot to add client V7.4.4

Hi,

i get an other error Message relating to Cuda:

I am seeing the same issue as Tashgan ... Using RTX3070, latest driver, windows 10 pro build 19043 fully patched ... reinstall nvidia drivers and reboot didn't resolve issue.

Edit:

Back checked logs ... apologies this has been happening since the new core was downloaded - should have spotted sooner but doesn't show as "error" in advanced control error filter and the default to OpenCL running with ppd higher than the 18108 wus on cuda the kit had been running led me not to check/question whether there was any issue - should have spotted it was Moonshot and circa 600k lower ppd than those usually are !!

Additional Edit:

There also appears to be another cuda related issue reported here https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php? ... 05#p352604 ... also pm'd John to give him heads up on these posts.

Posted: **Fri Jul 30, 2021 3:16 pm**

@Tashgan @Neil-B: Thanks for the heads up!
Thankfully, it looks like it falls back to OpenCL smoothly.

Any chance either of you have the CUDA Toolkit installed? If so, which version(s)?

~ John Chodera // MSKCC

Posted: **Fri Jul 30, 2021 3:24 pm**

No cuda toolkit installed here ... I'd guess this may be happening to a lot of folders as the failover to opencl means it isn't immediately obvious unless one is monitoring logs/ppd carefully

Posted: **Fri Jul 30, 2021 3:55 pm**

Thanks for the feedback!

We built core22 0.0.14 against CUDA 10.2, and I realize that support for RTX 30x0s was only added in CUDA 11.1:
https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/cuda- ... 30-series/

We likely need to build 0.0.15 against the latest CUDA 11 to ensure CUDA will work with the latest, fastest GPUs.

@WhitehawkEQ: I don't see an issue in that log---did you mean to send another log snippet?

@JohnChodera .. Interesting about the cuda version numbers .. iirc .13 reported it was using cuda on my 3070 .. did .14 step back version or was it my imagination? .. or has it moved to a version that explicitly blocks 30*0 series?

Edit: Just Checked and .13 did report/imply cuda was in use
