Hi All

I made a few days ago a little helper app to fix some of the issues I was having with Cast XMR miner.
On Vega cards hashrate would drop down for no reason after some time.
Also before getting the "full power" of Vega cards, I would have to disable/enable the Vegacards in device manager on every startup.

CastFixer.exe features:

ver 0.1:
- Easy GUI interface
- Mines on cryptonight algo using the cast_xmr-vega miner
- Supports Vega56/64, RX series (470,480,570,580) that I tested
- Before starting it auto disable/enable Vega cards in device manager.
- Monitors current hash rate, if it drops under a definied hash amount the miner do a "soft restart"
- If a "Soft restart" does not work, the app does a "hard restart" (disabling/enabling automatically the Vega cards in device manager)
- Requires admin rights to do the hardware work. If you put it to start with windows it is best to disable UAC - this is how I do it, so it dosen't ask for admin rights again.
- Requires .Net 4.5 framework from Microsoft

*If you have a multi-GPU system - make sure to check the list of GPUs and their respective Cast miner Device IDs are setup property.

Any suggestions appreciated Smiley
