SMP Client will not run

**jasonz0rz** · February 4th, 2009, 05:27 PM

clicking on the fah6.exe shortcut allows a DOS window to appear for a split second on the desktop, then it dissapears - normally the client runs in a minimized DOS window. this was working fine up until i unplugged my PC (turned off the client with control c prior to shutting down) to hook everything up to a new UPS. other than that, no changes have been made.

Hi jason, did you update the SMP client?? The 6.23 client stopped working Feb 2. You must use the older 5.91 or 92 client - at the very bottom of this page:

Please follow the instructions

Wrong Vern!
6.22 stopped
6.23's expiration date was extended.

Yes, ^
6.23 squeezes out a touch more PPD then the older clients. I'd go for the newer one myself.

ACK - I DID say 6.23!**

, sorry for putting out bad info.

i could have sworn i went with 6.23. how do i check?

**jasonz0rz** · February 4th, 2009, 09:04 PM

woops, you're right! it's 6.22 (thanks log files!)

would standard remove through control panel and install from that link preserve log files and work completed?

Uninstalling takes the everything out of the folder. I always just redo everything. It's easier, but there are other ways. But you really want someone else to explain that to you, I am teh suck at it!

I actually reinstalled the SMP client, dropped in the 6.23 Binary, ran the set up program, and then ran the 6.23 binary and set up SMP again.
Don't forget to close it (Ctrl+C), and restart it to get SMP running at full speed.

Fahcore_7 and Fahcore_78 both died on me. Fahcore_a1 is working fine. If they die on you just let it run, it will find a new core.
