We've just pushed out a new version:
https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/releases/tag/v1.4.1a

It includes a fix for issues with the re-connection to the NH stratum servers on Equihash, DaggerHashimoto and CryptoNight.

We uploaded the binary for v1.4.1a compiled with CUDA 9.1.  

Excavator compiled with CUDA 9.1 outperforms the one compiled with CUDA 8.0 on some algorithms.

Benchmark results can be found here:

sorry i am confuse what's update ? 2 day agow 1.4.1.a > now you say new update but same version ? what's the catch ? & in other way 1.4.1.a Equihash still crash, stall & personaly i give up let a miner run & need to watch all the time because not know when it will crash is become ...

- excavator_v1.4.1a_NVIDIA_Win64.zip =  8.0, 9.0 ??!?!?!
- excavator_v1.4.1a_NVIDIA_Win64_CUDA_9.1.zip only with 9.1 ?!?!?

anyway hope you will fix it in a future

The difference between the excavator_v1.4.1a_NVIDIA_Win64.zip and excavator_v1.4.1a_NVIDIA_Win64_CUDA_9.1.zip is that the latter is compiled with CUDA 9.1. I uploaded both versions since the excavator compiled with CUDA 9.1 reaches higher hashrates on some algorithms compared to the version compiled with CUDA 8.0. These are just two different binaries for the same version.
