Hi,

Boinc works here only on 32 cores, are there any plans to fix it? I cannot run it twice, it does not work.

Cheers

And you are pretty sure you set up all your preferences correctly, to show that you want to use "On multiprocessors, use at most 100% of the processors" and "On multiprocessors, use at most N processors", where N is a number. What is this number in your case?

Yes, both these values are used, the 'old one' is still in use to set the amount of processors, while the percentage says the gradient. So if that's set to 32, then that's why you're blocked at 32.

This second value is found at the Project Preferences, NOT in BOINC Manager's advanced preferences.
