F@H: Only getting "small" units

[MechEng]

Hi...

Usually I have been having units in the range of 241 point per unit (ppu), but now for some reason I only seem to be getting units of 57 ppu or less???
Anyone else noticed something like this?

It also seems to result in my Points Per Day (PPD) decreasing, if I can trust the daily/weekly averages in FAHLogStats. Usually my PPD was almost 200PPD, but now they seem to be about 130-150PPD.



In case of questions my ImagePath in registry looks like this:
X:\DC\F@H\F@H_Console1\FAH502-Console.exe -svcstart -local -verbosity 9 -forceasm -advmethods

and my client.cfg:
[settings]
username=MechEng
team=198
asknet=no
bigpackets=yes
machineid=1
local=42

[http]
active=no
host=localhost
port=8080
usereg=yes

[core]
priority=0
checkpoint=30

Exactly the same situation here. It is normal to see the focus of the project move from type to type like this.... not a problem... just F@H.

(I miss those 199PPD WUs)

Thats just about what I expected, I just wanted to hear if I had possibly missed something...
Thank you very much for your feedback though. :thumbsup:

What actually made me wonder was this:

The assignment server does take machine performance into account in making assignments, thereby allowing slower machines to receive more appropriate work units.

As I don't think my PC is that slow, I would anticipate it to get the larger units, but...

When you have configure to accept BigWUs and there are not any on the server, lately you get those small Gromacs. This will change eventually.

You might be able to get those 241 point Tinkers if you reconfigure to not get BigWUs. But then you miss a small chance of snagging a bonus point BigWU.

Heh yeah, same thing here . I really miss those 360 point WUs, my production has dropped significantly.

How do you get the details on your WU? I'm using the GUI client for windows.

I use FAHLogStats to view the details, and also to keep an eye on my clients and their production.
