Can anyone help with the hardware acceleration?

running just the admin-start.bat I get

Build time: 2017-06-20 22:37:05
Build number: 410
Provided startup commandline:
        excavator  -c default_command_file.json

[18:54:08][0x00001528][info] Log started
[18:54:08][0x00001528][info] opencl | Loaded phymem for direct PCIe access.
Press any key to continue . . .

Do i need to edit this bat file for excavator?

If i right click and run the original bat file as admin, I get a constant loop of "Excavator has crashed"



Which video card are you using? I'd like to see your command file as well.



This is my command file


[
   {"time":0,"commands":[      
      {"id":1,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["daggerhashimoto","daggerhashimoto.eu.nicehash.com:3353","MYBTCADDRESS.gpurig1"]},
      {"id":2,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["sia","sia.eu.nicehash.com:3360","MYBTCADDRESS.gpurig1"]}
   ]},
   {"time":3,"commands":[
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","1"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","2"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","3"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","4"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","5"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","6"]}
   ]},
   {"time":10,"loop":10,"commands":[
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.print.speed","params":["0"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.print.speed","params":["1"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.print.speed","params":["2"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.print.speed","params":["3"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.print.speed","params":["4"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.print.speed","params":["5"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.print.speed","params":["6"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"algorithm.print.speeds","params":["0"]}
   ]}
]

I was using the 17.4.4 Crimson package with the 16.9 drivers.
I thought that was causing the issue

I am now running 17.6.2 with ATK patcher applied and windows in test mode

Running claymore now

System specs
http://prntscr.com/fmps24

Hardware

6 x rx480 Strix (samsung)
1 x rx 480 MSI

I reset all bios / clocks to stock and still the same thing

I can run with modded bios and no hardware acceleration and get around 184-188 MH/S

Any help would be much appreciated.


You need to add workers for Sia, too. Try:

Code:
[
{"time":0,"commands":[
{"id":1,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["daggerhashimoto","daggerhashimoto.eu.nicehash.com:3353","MYBTCADDRESS.gpurig1"]},
{"id":2,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["sia","sia.eu.nicehash.com:3360","MYBTCADDRESS.gpurig1"]}
]},
{"time":3,"commands":[
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","1"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","2"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","3"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","4"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","5"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","6"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["1","0"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["1","1"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["1","2"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["1","3"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["1","4"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["1","5"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["1","6"]}
]},
{"time":10,"loop":10,"commands":[
{"id":1,"method":"algorithm.print.speeds","params":[]}
]}
]
