Beta Testing / Problem installing 2.00 on Win...

Last post by Corsair - January 15, 2026, 09:51:43 AM

Hi Fred,

same problem than 1.96, the installation is fine, all files updates, but the main .exe file is no copied to the installation folder.

I had to install in another machine win11 x64 and compare the content in the folder for arm64, and seen than all files has been updated, except the bointask64.exe.

for the time being I had copied the new exe to the installation folder and now running 2.0 in windows 11 arm64.
already told, bear in mind, that x64 programs are emulated and running in windows arm64.

Questions / BoincTasks JS V:2.8.3 not show...

Last post by Criswo - January 15, 2026, 12:56:09 AM

Hello All,

I wonder if I am doing wrong but I can't figure out where that might be ....
It seems that BoincTasks JS sometimes does not show all Tasks on a machine.
E.g. the status line reports 93 Tasks but only 5 of them are displayed (all missing ones are "Ready To Start").
Also sometimes the amount of "Ready To Report" is not matching the numbers in the status line.
Any idea how to fix that?

Thank you!
Cheers
Chris

and I have "date limite" as a date when I check "display in days"
So (my) logic says it is inverted

I changed the text into Show deadline as day month year, to make it more obvious.

The initialising project has now disappeared  he was only visible on the new graph, nowhere else.

I have "date limite" displayed in days when the option "display in days" is unchecked ("afficher la date limite en jours" = "diplay limit date in days")



and I have "date limite" as a date when I check "display in days"



So (my) logic says it is inverted

Weird, you do not have "Initialising" in the statistics graph?
But do you see Initialising in the History tab.
The missing projects, do they have any tasks in the Tasks tab or History tab.

The deadline shows as 1d,.... unchecked.
And as the full day Jan 09, 2026, 06:43:02 PM while checked.

I always have that "initialising" project whatever I do, it only appears in that new graph, even if I restart BTJs. And I actually cannot relate to any project, though it seems the logic to select projects is not the same as in the general statistics graph (where the project list is much longer). But it's only a small issue of course, I just wanted to inform. But there is a question about the logic you are using to select the project list.

Regarding the deadline, so you confirm it is working "inverted" and you have to actually untick when you would want to tick the checkbox to have the expected behaviour ? Because this is what is happening for me.

Wish List / Percentage CPU usage incorrect...

Last post by hucker - January 03, 2026, 03:46:25 PM

The numbers in brackets indicate less than 100% of 4 threads in use.  The correct answer should be 82%, by calculating (CPU time / wall time / CPU threads) * 100

I think what you might have done is forget to divide by the CPU threads, which gives 328%, which was then capped at 100%.
