SoB: Need some help

[Spacehead]

Last week i finished a test & got another one from my queue & it started processing as normal. When i flushed my queue the next day the finished test never showed as being sent to the server.
I logged into my account on the SoB site & there is the test in question, showing only 97% finished & the new one i started at 1%.

After stopping & starting the client i see i'm now re-processing the test that should be finished, but it's starting from the beginning.

This test i'm re-processing is now at ~24% done. Should i keep going with it or dump it & get a new one? I just want to make sure i'll end up getting credit for it. My stats numbers are way low for the week & now Free-DC shows me with no production(negative, in fact) for the week.

Again, not so much concerned with the stats(i think that'll work itself out) i just want to get proper credit for this test.

OK, from my first post... i finished re-processing that test in question & it did show up in my stats as finished this time.

So the client started a new test & was at 12% complete this morning. I had shut down the client earlier today to do some things & when i start it up again this evening it shows as starting the test from the beginning. I look around & see it's not even the test that was at 12%... it's a new test.

So i do the procedure for the lost test fix & restart the client. Again its starting from 0% but processing a different test. I can't say for a fact but i think its the test i originally had the problem with.

I only have one "Z" file in my SoB directory(z5771790) & the registry info shows the correct numbers for the 12% test


Test that shows at 12% done:
k= 22699
n= 15771790


Problem test:
k=55459
n= 15103354


Any ideas on how to fix this?

OK, i did some digging threw my 'sb.log' file this morning.


On July 26 i finish a test & get a new one. Note the k & n values of the new test.

I usually turn off my computer during hot days so at some point things get messed up & look what test shows as finishing. I never noticed anything was wrong.

I wish I could help, but I have no idea.

Anyone, anyone at all?

Are you running the beta client, or the standard sb250.exe client?

sb250.exe client
Single instance, not running as a service.

Started a thread over on the SoB forums too.. There's some info in that thread that's not in this one.

Looks like i have 2 cache entries for SoB in my registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
-->SOFTWARE
--->LhDn
---->sob
----->cache (k=22699, n=15771790) <-- this is the one i want
----->cache2 (k=55459, n=15103354) <-- this is the problem test

I don't like messing with my registry if at all possible. Does this sound like i'll fix my problem?
