I am not seeing it on a couple mine of that I checked.

Man, I really don't want to have to make the rounds to check on this... I'll hope for the best tonight and may look into it tomorrow if there are more with issues.

One of the computers that is exhibiting this issue is at work. Wasn't going to stick around Friday night messing around with it, so I just shut it down and went home. One less rig unfortunately for the team.

It seems to have sorted it out on it's own sometime overnight. I had a lot of WUs to dump so that's good news!

Thanks for the stats, ZipSpeed and Peter! :thumbsup:

If you're using an app_info.xml-file there's been some problems with WCG's scheduling-server, and while trying to fix this they introduced your listed error.

At the moment WCG has disabled re-issuing of "lost" tasks, so hopefully you're not getting this error any longer...

Yup, everything is working as it should be again. Contemplating whether I should drive to work to get that offline rig back into the game.

Hmm, interesting. It seems I've been crunching for the wrong Anandtech team for the last month or so. Well that sucks.

It had names I recognised so I figured it was the right one >_<

Boom - Ingleside! Who is that here? Producing a few points :p

It would be cool to have individual rankings like PrimeGrid if that exists... If not, no big deal.

Glad to have onboard the "right" TeAm :) Those are some impressive numbers you are putting in.

Uh-oh. Is this one of those "Team Anandtech" / "TeAm AnandTech" things? I hope I'm crunching for the right team.

I've got my quad-core A6-3670K, not overclocked (2.7Ghz LLano quad-core) on WCG, my Thuban X6 1045T (2.7Ghz hex-core) on WCG, and my G630 (2.7Ghz Sandy Bridge dual-core) on WCG too.

Weird, all my procs are 2.7Ghz.

I was in "Anandtech" rather than "TeAm AnandTech" . . . I think I must've just guessed wrong when I signed up.

Unfortunately my points are going to drop soonish - the Radeon 7850 that's making most of my points has to go back for RMA because it crashes within a minute or two of launching games. . .though it can crunch for days without issues :p

I'm doing WCG for nearly 2 years now, as I'm new on AT, any way to join your team? And will it remove any of my earned scores in previous team?

To join, since you're already running WCG, goto http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamInfo.do?teamId=SHNW8R84S1 and click on the "join now"-link.

All your points earned on other teams will be kept on your other team, and your name will still show-up on the old team but with a "Retired"-date on WCG's own pages. For external stats-sites like Boincstats the old team will keep the credit, but your name will only show on your current team.

Oh, and welcome to the TeAm. :)

No idea on the reason yet, but WCG was down for many hours but is finally up and running again.

Hopefully the outage gave little or no negative impact for the TeAm in the challenge.
