Hi, i am struggling here, i have installed the blockchain drivers from 23 august and then i selected local driver.
Let the installation reboot and whatever.
Then i run this cast xmr and it doesnt complain about the compute blockchain thing which is good, but then it doesnt proceed, it just exits.

I have tried the installation 2 times, same bloody thing.


  Cast XMR 0.6.0 CryptoNight mining optimized for AMD Radeon Vega GPUs

  Donating 1.5% mining power to developer. Thanks.

  For current stats press 's'
  For seamless exit press 'q'

[20:20:58] Initializing GPU, loading kernel ...
GPU0: Ellesmere | 32 Compute Units

Then it exits, I cant understand this.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Obviously when i have normal regular drivers such as 16.11.x then it starts and it shows me....:
......
[20:21:00] [Suspicious link removed]pute Driver NOT detected.

By installing the AMD [Suspicious link removed]pute Driver upto 80% higher hash
rates can be achieved. For more info check http://www.gandalph3000.com

And it starts mining.



But again, when i install the blockchain drivers , which are supposed to change my life, it doesnt even start mining.
I also noticed that all my mining apps dont work, like mining pool hub and zecminer64 and sgminer , they just start but then exit....

Please assist me in how to install them properly.

I followed a youtube video, clearly it doesnt work.

I think your user name is wrong.  I just use BTCwalletaddress.workername

Everything else looks ok I think.  This is my command line (BTC address changed to protect my privacy):

cast_xmr-vega -G 0 --opencl 1 -S cryptonight.usa.nicehash.com:3355 -u 1Ljdskfhsjdhfjsdfhkjsdhfkdshfksd.castxmr

cast_xmr-vega -S cryptonight.usa.nicehash.com:3355 -u Wallet.Worker/email %* --opencl 1 -G 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7

I use the following lines for enabling/disabling if this helps...  Just be sure to pause between each.

devcon.exe disable *6B761002

devcon.exe enable *6B761002

Just put this at the begining of your bat file. And it will start as admin...

Make sure your running the batch file/devcon as an administrator. If that doesn't work, make sure you have the 64 bit version of devcon if you're running 64 bit windows, and the 32 bit version of devcon if you're running 32 bit windows.

Side note for people who might search this in the future:

The Asus Z270-A WILL NOT RUN 7 Vega. At least not without additional hardware. Its impossible to install the drivers, they'll crash every time no matter how you do it. 6 cards is doable, as long as they're placed in every slot EXCEPT PCIeX16_1. If a card is placed in the first x16 slot, then the drivers will crash while installing if you try to use more than 5 cards. Just a heads up for anyone who might be having this problem.
