I've been noticing some weirdness with NVidia. Tasks beginning with prefix blcXY_ execute normally. Tasks beginning with 11mr or 15oc get stuck at 0.0006% (precisely) and eventually are timed out and self-abort, or have to be manually aborted. Have witnessed this behavior on driver versions 431, 440, and latest, both Game Ready and Studio, on two separate machines (though both have GTX 1070s). Not sure what this signifies/if I'm missing something here.

ED: Of course this problem is well known and somehow I missed the omnibus thread. But I already tried the older drivers, to no avail. I guess I can try again...

ED2: Did not specifically try 431.60, did try 430.86. Will try again using DDU this time.

ED3: 431.60 does in fact work. I used DDU to completely remove the 441 drivers while in safe mode, and then reran lunatics for good measure.

DDU can be found here:

You need to read this thread and the 1st page should tell it all as nothing has changed to this date.

Cheers.

Yup, as soon as I posted I saw, natch (hence my edits). After having tried 431.36 just now, after running a complete removal with DDU and rerunning lunatics for good measure, everything is working again.
