So far I have not had one of the new BHspin2 v0.02 finish. They get to somewhere near the end of the work unit(94-96%) then restart again at 0%

The message logs on all my PC's are full of messages like this..
Task universe_bh2_160803_104_37_20000_1-999999_300000_0 exited with zero status but no 'finished' file
If this happens repeatedly you may need to reset the project.

Has anyone actually completed BHspin2 v0.02 task yet? Cause I sure haven't.
I'm suspending all work here as this is just wasting electricity

A little help please Krzysztof.

I'm looking for the problem.
Probably you can kill the tasks, I will reproduce it when I sort the problem :(
Apologise, this is probably my fault... :(

Same problem across various platforms (Windows 7 64bit, Debian Jesse 64bit).

Please at least recall the erroneous tasks so that we don't have to abort them manually - if at all possible. This is quite important for those who run headless workstations.

Glad I was checking in here after seeing the new version. Got a big batch this morning and still had a big batch when I came home.

I just confirmed none of my WUs finish. They reset to 0 progress after close to 3 minutes.

Windows 10 (64)

Also, Krys, you updated the other apps on the app list but not BHSpin...

Was Android updated too??

Same problem here.
This night I switched my host to Universe@Home without knowing the issue. No BH2 task completed.

Here's one of them: http://universeathome.pl/universe/result.php?resultid=21499390

Please cancel all WU's where BHspin2 application is in version 0.02.
There is major bug in this version.

Same for me: four tasks continuously running for more than 24 hours.
Following your advice, I have canceled the 4 jobs, but it's not enough: still got some CPU activity.
I had to reset the project, but BOINC complained with the following message:
"30/03/2017 19:01:42 | Universe@Home | [error] Couldn't delete file projects/universeathome.pl_universe/BHspin2_2_windows_x86_64.exe.gzt"
I had to start the task manager and manually kill each task that remained active despite the job cancellation and the project reset...
Then, I reset once again the project to get ride of the last file... Yes! Got it!
I will wait a little before restarting the work for this project...

Ooohh... my computing resources are being wasted again :-(.
The tasks look normally in the BOINC Manager (I am on 80% now) but CPU time remains 00:00:00 in BoincView 1.2.5. Est. credits and CPU efficiency is zero as well, est. speed is not showing up. Ultraviolet reionization v0.02 is showing mentioned data without any problem. I hope it helps.
Einstein@home has a separate project for tests (Albert@home). Please, consider making something similar. As for now, whole Universe@home seems to be a test project (testing our patience).

It seems that the Project has successfilly backedup.
since the working Version for BHSpin is(0.01) deeper than the last downloaded (0.02) I had to cancel all running tasks , then reset the Project and at last update the project..

Now everything works fine.
But the not finishing Task Problem from Version 0.01 will appear again.
So I will have an eye on the machines.

Thanks for the information. But I think krzyszp should make a formal announcement of where they are. I don't want to start again and find out the hard way. In particular, when they have a fixed version of 0.02 they should let us know.

Indeed, the 2.0.02 all fail.

Edit:
I killed them; BM said 'Abgebrochen durch Benutzer'.
But for a short time, just befor reporting them, BM said 'Berechnungsfehler'. Looks like the calculation error is not reported correct to BM during runtime.

The error isn't caught by BOINC so it keeps running the app endlessly (or at least until it ages out).

ram usage for the project is in the 7mb range .... could be something to do with memory buffer not being big enough .....
