Default Update your SMP beta client before it expires Oct 1

The SMP beta clients expire on Oct 1.

There is no big change to the Win SMP client ... just an update to the expiry date - it is still v 5.91.
Don't confuse it with the v6 text version for windows ... this only support the unicore client.

The Linux SMP client is now V6 and this is the first public beta for the v6 client. I am not sure if anyone other than 3.0Chalrlie and myself are using linux smp on the team.

The soon to expire clients will keep running with the old versions until you stop it. It will not restart until you update the client.

With the v6 smp client, it is now a unified unicore and smp client so to continue folding smp with it you MUST USE the -SMP switch when you launch it. It will carry on folding a wu in pregess from the previous client but for saftey backup the work directory and queue.dat file first so you don't lose any progress if something goes wrong.

Grrrrrrr.............

I shut the bloody thing down at 99% because of a windoze update (didn't want to lose the whole thing if the update re-booted during installation) and now it won't start up again!!!!!!!! :( (Damn "other time zone!!!!).

I was going to do the VMware thing tomorrow and not worry about the next WU, but now I'll have to install the new smp to get this complete!!!!!

Same thing happened to me tonight on my E2140 rig - played around with vmware and when came the time to restart F@H, it was a no go. Copied the Work folder and the Queue file, deleted everything else, d'l the new 5.91, re-installed, pasted over both folder and file, and it's back crunching without a hickup.

It was at 88%...

Double grrrrrrr.........

Managed to complete both units, and updated the client, but now neither WU will upload (servers listed as "reject"), nor will they grab a new WU (Keep getting assigned to 0.0.0.0 which apparently is server side rather than mine......

Wish this hadn't happened during the update. Now I'm not sure if it's my end or theirs....... :(

I'm confused by the OP. I'm currently using 5.91 beta 4 SMP text client for Windows, are you saying I need to upgrade?

Looks like it.... beta 4 was the one released back in june/july.

Hope you have better luck than I did.

So all I did was make a backup of my fah directory and then copy the new fah.exe into my old one and it fired right up.

After I had quit my old one and tried to restart it it came up saying "Beta expired"
