Code:
GPUEngine: Launch: an illegal memory access was encountered

if i tray to create a single adress / key pair it works realy fast on my 3070 card, but from a input list with only 20 full adresses, the illegal memory access pops up.

The problem, if I remember correctly, is the RIPEMD160 function when trying to do more than one address. So, you need to create the string function; meaning, take off like 7 or 8 characters on your addresses in your list and see if that works.

Example:
turn address:
139743984739847328974982472347398
into
1397439847398473289749824

I do not know if it works with the latest release of VanitySearch but I know it works with version 17.

Illegal memory accesses in VanitySearch too? Damn I wish that the name of functions were printed to standard output as a habit. (Bitcrack and Kangaroo are guilty of this non-practice too.) Errors like this make it hard for me to find the source, although according to you the buggy code is somewhere in a RIPEMD160 function.
