Nope ... just you, so far.

I do think I saw another report of "...forceBuffers: clCreateBuffer" but I'll have to look for it.

The message: Error creating array forceBuffers: clCreateBuffer (-61) sounds like the FahCore is encountering some sort of resource limitation. Was the GPU doing some other heavy processing at the time?

Thanks for checking. I'll count this one as a fluke for now.

The GPU was 99% done a workunit and had downloaded the next one. I set the slot to Finish since I was going to use the machine and this is the primary GPU. Firefox was open but not doing anything significant.

This was on a Radeon 6850. I plan to replace it with an RX 480 when they're released at the end of the month.

I saw a similar error message on a HD 6950 ... maybe it has something to do with VLIW architecture limitations that GCN architecture doesn't have ?

What happens if you try to run the WU samples included in FAH Bench 2.2 on you 6850 ?

dhfr and dhfr-implicit complete successfully
nav shows the following error afterwards:

I am reproducing this behavior on the trusty old AMD FirePro V7900 with newest drivers and BIOS, on Windows 10 2004. It's also a TeraScale 3 product from AMD.
