I have had Lunatics 44 installed since it came out and I started getting the message concerning V7 the other day. Yikes, did I mis-remember? Thought 0.44 introduced the v8 stuff and nuked v7. Or is that 0.45 to be? And if so, how has anyone been running any MBs, since v7 work dried up months ago? Surely everyone didn't manually patch the v8 stuff in... ID: 1817025 ·

Correct, it was with the Lunatics 0.45 Beta that legacy MB V7 was removed from the application install.

You can safely ignore it. ID: 1817062 ·

I discovered that my Win10 boxes were set (default) to allow MS to distribute and install mfr divers. One box just installed NVidia driver 369.09, as opposed to the 368.81 I was running. One problem; no OpenCL support! So if your AP ability goes away, and all AP tasks show aborted, might check that. Full details in the Win 10 Yay or Nay thread. Later, Jim ... ID: 1818345 ·

Just noting the driver upgrade issue in case anyone got bit. ID: 1818366 ·

Blanked... blanked... blanked... Yeah, at least 90% of 'em. Compressibility test, anyone? So just to restate the test, you must catch an AP task that is in queue and has not yet been run, and attempt to zip it. If it's a good AP, it will barely compress, if it's a "stuck bit" unit, it will compress to about 50%. Is that about correct? ID: 1818390 ·

If people could keep an eye open, especially if the next batch contains tapes from later in 2016, please?
