Yup it is update and extend the expiry date for WIN SMP folks. If you don't update the first time you close the client after the 1st of October and bang expired client an ex client :eek:

    Thanks for the headsup spike.

    All I did was stop f@h and install the beta5 client right over the beta4 client w/o uninstalling beta4 and it works perfectly.

    If you SMP client is not opening make sure to get this update and install it... all will go back to normal. Clients will auto close and not run under the old version.

    Boy, that's the truth! I found out the hard way, after pulling hair and scratching my head for a long time.

    INSTALL the newest revision if you haven't already done so!

    Perhaps the SSE was turned off for some reason at the previous start, check the log file.

    Yep I know, they releases new SMP every 2-3 month or so.
    Mostly they just extend the beta execution time permit.

    btw, I use FAH -verbosity 9 -forceasm -advmethods, when running SMP.

    Even if Standford says -advmethods should'nt be used, it has never turned on me folding with AMD opteron.
