It should not be closing the dos window... there's still something going wrong.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the command prompt window close if cgminer was launched from a shortcut?  I don't see how cgminer could prevent that, as it is normal behavior.  OTOH, I'm not sure the command prompt window would close even if cgminer crashed out when the command line was fed to an open window.  IOW, I'm not sure that it is relevant whether the command prompt window closes or not.

You're not wrong. I'm the windows n00b here. I didn't realise he was running it from a .bat file without opening the dos prompt manually first.

It could also just be a shortcut (as opposed to a batch file), however, I don't know if he is either, but I don't think command prompt would close if he wasn't, which was more my point.  The behavior of the command prompt window probably only indicates that the program terminated after being launched from a shortcut (or a batch file with an exit command) and not evidence as to whether or not the termination was clean.  So it might be best to have users try again without a shortcut (or even to just uncheck close on exit in the shortcut) to see what the final output was and whether or not it looks like a clean termination.  Another option might be to check errorlevel, but I haven't done that in so long I don't remember how or if it is possible in such a scenario.

Yes, I do have it change the settings.  Here's my command line:

cgminer -o http://127.0.0.1:9332 -u xxx-p xxx--auto-gpu --gpu-engine 750-960 --gpu-memclock 250 --temp-target 80 --gpu-vddc 1.1 -g 1
But did you reboot or manually set them back after using the previous version that didn't set them back due to the crash?  CGMINER sets them back to where they were when it started, it doesn't know the defaults.
I set them back to their mfg defaults using the Catalyst Control Center, then ran cgminer to see if it restored them (which it didn't).
Shafted.

Hmmm.  Not sure what that means in this context.

You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

My kernel is version 3.2.x, so wouldn't it be kinda late for 2.2.7? Tongue

I have Windows 7 x64, AMD Catalyst 12.2 Pre-Certified Driver, 2 x 6970.

When starting cgminer 2.2.6 I get this error message:

Code:

Reverted to Nvidia 280.26 drivers and CGMiner works without crashing again. Sad to see the loss of CPU mining from it though.

More AMD breakage coming up. As Diapolo hinted earlier, there is a new AMD driver 12.2 with an SDK that claims to be sdk 2.6 but  comes up with the version number 898.1. It breaks cgminer completely making it unable to build any binaries.  Angry I have yet to investigate why but please do not upgrade unless you already have .bin files that work. I'm going to start a collection of bin files that people may be able to download and they'll be housed here:
Alternatively you could install upgrade but (in windows) select custom install and UNCHECK SDK.  Not sure if 12.2 has any notable changes compared to 12.1 but if it does that is way to get "improved" (Huh with AMD deproved) and keep existing SDK installation.
Yes, for now one should uncheck OpenCL Runtime during Catalyst upgrade until CGMINER is fixed.
My first look made me scream on another fact, they did heavy work on their OpenCL compiler, which tends to behave again very differently compared to former versions ... seems like more work in the future Cheesy (it looks like they preffer vector GPRs over scalar GPRs with the new runtime as there are massive shifts in GPR usage).
Well I believe I've fixed this in my git tree, and I've uploaded an exe into that temp directory as always. If someone is brave enough to try the latest driver 12.2 with its sdk on 64 bit windows with this executable I'd be mighty grateful:

Worked for me on latest drivers (12.2) with 7970.

Awesome awesome, thanks. This is big enough a fix to warrant yet another quick release. How did it perform compared to the older sdk 2.6 ?

It already does use the bins anyway... I just need to change the message so people know how to create new bins if desired.

Sapphire 5830 here, using newest drivers. Cgminer works exactly the same as it did on the old driver, hash speed and all (besides the BIG WARNING suggesting I use a previous driver when you start it, anyway)

Interesting. You're finding 5830 as fast on the new SDK as the old one? What clock speeds and what hashrate? Thanks.

It can only tell what version is currently installed, not what the kernel was compiled with.

Con, I can confirm 2.2.6 Test works with 898.1 on Windows ... binaries are generated fine!
Did some tests with current diakgcn and it seems performance should not change with latest OpenCL runtime, but perhaps there are new ways to squeeze out a bit more performance Cheesy.

Edit: Which intensity do you use, when comparing kernel performance?

Just downloaded and installed newest driver, and downloaded and ran newest cgminer. No compiling, since I'm on Windows. Overclocked to 950 Mhz, memory underclocked to 300 Mhz, intensity at 9. Used to average 270 Mhash, and still do. I don't know what kind of bad issues I was supposed to experience, but just letting you know there aren't any issues with mine.

I opened the compressed downloaded file, and copies all the contents into my old cgminer directory, overwriting all files. If the .bin file is part of the download, the yes. If it wasn't, then no. I don't know for sure Sad
