frood is running main on Mac, and the title bar of his client says "game_dynamic" where it should say "foldit". Mike is running devprev on Mac, and his title bar says "foldit" like it should. Is it possible the latest main client for Mac was built from a wrong source file?
Is anyone else running main on Mac, and what does the title bar of your game client say?
re 1296
It would appear that there are issues with showing old shares. I have taken fresh clients between the current and both the previous puzzles. The shares from 1249 show in 1274 (both 'foldit' clients) but shares from these are not shown in 1296 (game_dynamic) I had to open 1296 in the oldest client and reshare in order to see it in the current client.
I am running the current main client on a macbook pro and I have Game_Dynamic at the top of the screen. I can't remember precisely when it appeared, but it was within the last two or three updates, which I always take immediately.
I do not however appear to be having the same set of issues as Frood. My client and irc, (touchwood), seems relatively stable.
I decided to try changing from main to devprev again (I have not been able to get the edit to stick for some time now.
Success - the edit stuck.
I opened the client and inspected the release ID - alas it remains the main client as listed in my original feedback.
I have double checked the options.txt file and it clearly says "devprev"
I confirm the window still shows game_dynamic
TBO I did not think this would change anything - but thought I'd check anyway.
I'm running the latest main update on Mac, and my game title bar says Foldit, but my Mac finder bar says game_dynamic. (as the attached screenshot shows). This started showing up between July 31st and August 2 of this year (looking at mac crashlogs and log.txt, on July 31st the lines that were supposed to say Foldit said Foldit, on August 2 these same lines said game_dynamic and I noticed at the time the game_dynamic on the game title bar like frood does now. I was having problems with a HD going bad on my machine so wrote off the issues to that… but it appears it didn't have anything to do with the HD problem.
I can confirm odd behavior in the latest client. Build:
20161004-39881adc28-osx_x86
Seems to be "sleeping" when minimized. Minimal activity (less than prior to new client)
Maximized puzzles behave somewhat as expected, high activity and GPU fan audible.
However, average minimized activity "should be" about 24% based on historic experience, but when minimized that activity drops off radically.
I am noticing that upon maximizing that it looks like not much has happened in recipes… they seem simply to stall, slow down to almost stopped. (whereas prior minimized puzzles kept working, these simply don't appear to be doing that.)
This is not normal.
.png files attached showing the chart.
FYI - energy saver is set to prevent computer from sleeping when display is off, and I have nothing set to sleep the hard drives.
Log.txt file included in case it helps. Period just before posting log was about 5 minutes of minimized activity, prior to that I had all 4 clients (usually run that many without problems) maximized.
Also please note how foldit shows up in the monitor list images I attached… as "game_dynamic"
Being curious and stubborn, I decided to see if I could rule out the mac OS as an issue. To do that I had to install Sierra as I have no earlier OS backup.
And what should happen but the following (compare this to the after-minimizing png I posted above. While the mac finder title bar still says "game_dynamic," the game runs as expected minimized.
So it appears the current client doesn't play well with El Capitan.
