Two Instances on HT

[Ridewithme38]

Ok i wanna try this but i can't get it too work....i downloaded a second client(Although there both 5.04 Beta) renamed and put it in a different directory(I've got one in c:\folding\myfolder and the other in c:\Folding\MyFoldertoo add the -local flag to my second instance of folding and set the machine id on the new instance as 2...i want to run both of them as a service...


But when i run it like this...both cores seem to stop??
What am i doing wrong??

EDIT: Just realized i didn't add the -local flag on the second instance...reloaded and trying again

Get it working?

[Ridewithme38]

Nope...just basicly gave up...with both instances running it completely stops either from doing anything....very strange
If you have any ideas please let me know...i've done everything in the first post is there anything i forgot?
It's getting late here i'm going to sleep on it see if i get any ideas!

When you open task manage (CTRL-ALT-DEL) does it show FAHCONSOLE and FAHCORE_XX ?? Is FAHCORE running or at 0%?

[Ridewithme38]

They both run at 50% the log just spends hours and doesn't move at all

are you running the verbosity 9 flag?

Sometimes it takes up to 30 minutes for the log to update.

first make sure HT is enabled...just had to make sure
Next, did you rename the cleint? Your not supposed to rename the client, just the folder it goes into. Also, try the -local flag on both instances, i know it says you dont have to, but it may be worth a try...
You set it as a service...then do you restart your computer...make sure all your settings are correct, then try restarting your computer, maybe that will clear somthin up?
Thats all i can think of for now, and Drive Euro's suggestion of verbosity 9 flag

All you were supposed to rename is the folder in which you installed the second client. I have two folders aptly name "FAH1" and "FAH2". I made a shortcut to each and pointed that shortcut to the FAH502 console in their respective folder and added the flags " -local -advmethods -forceasm -verbosity 9". Then when I started them I used a different machine ID on each instance to make them unique. Opened the task manager and changed the affinity of the FAHCore and FAH Console to use a different cpu id. There should be two instances of each. Make one set use "CPU 1" and the other set use "CPU 0". That's it.

There are so many conflicting feelings about HT and folding and i was basicly only planning on doing it till the QMD's come back....thanks for all the help guys but i think i've given up on this thought
