A saved solution of 9944 loads as 9919 in the updated client, but, loads fine as 9944 in a NON updated client. What's up with that? I'm glad I only updated 1 client thus far. I run them all in their own folder, so, my others aren't affected.
so it loads as 9919 in the 'devprev' client, but 9944 in the 'main' client?
Does your solution contain an pi-helix?

I haven't a clue what a pi-helix is.
I just know what I like the look of and which recipes appear to be productive. The science is a complete unknown to me, including most of the related terms.
Odds are, there isn't since it is a relatively low score for 550 in comparison to others. I've heard these pi-helixes create a higher score. Do you have a link showing what one looks like?
Here's a link to a pi-helix: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_helix
The issue you bring up "I just know…which recipes appear to be productive" is what this update is trying to fix.
There was a bug in Rosetta that scores these pi helices way too much, and this was discovered by Foldit player recipes that highlighted this error.
We fixed the bug, and this update now corrects the error.
Right now it's only in "devprev", but soon (tomorrow I believe) it will be in "main" and everyone will have the exact same score function and everyone's solution will load the same way.
This may cause a few recipes to be less productive, however!
Why on earth would you guys provide a fix that doesn't roll out for all at once? Talk about unfair. I'm sure you have your reasons, but, it doesn't make sense to me. None of the clients should work without this fix if that is the case. JMO
Btw, thanks for the link. ;)
This update is NOT optional.
It will go on main in 24hrs.
Then all scores from NOT updated client will NOT count!
I hope that is the way it works… that's the only fair thing to do. I would like to know the exact time this occurs so that I can stop all recipes and update immediately.
I've just had the same thing loading an evo for 550 on the updated DevPrev client.
Evo score is 10437 but loads as 10424 while the requirement for evolving stays at 10439
Structure does not have any helices at all
i'm not completely sure what it is either but as I understand it, it is like a helix but with a bigger diameter. And this kind of helix was scoring to good and people knew that and used it to make good scores and produced solutions which are high scoring but useless.
