Getting some bad WU's

The last few days I've been getting some low point wu's on my dual core.

I used to get nothing but 2653 I think. They were all 1760 pointers. Now I'm getting 3043, and similar. Only worth 14xx points.

What's up with that?

Anyone else notice that?

That's always been the way, sometimes a new core has higher points and some lower than the average. Don't feel too bad, I've been getting a bunch of units on my older machines that are worth only 15 points. They crank out fairly fast but doesn't match doing a 300 to 500 point unit.

I just got spoiled at having the nice ones since I started. I almost expect them now. It's like the rising of the sun, it's supposed to happen. LOL

I just checked , I've finished 23 of those, it's not too bad, they've got a relative short turn-around
And I've got a few of those 44XX one the one console machine I have . Only 15 points per Wu. What a pain.

I had two 14xx pointers, but now it has moved back to doing 2653, which it has always done.

I have that computer turned off this week, since I'm not home, but hopefully when I get backon Saturday, it will give me the 2653 again.

I feel better knowing I'm not the only one getting those.

I've had the same problem for a few months. I tried reinstalling F@H, but I still get really low point values. Is there anyway to change this?

I have no idea.

I got home and started getting the 2653 again.

Moved my computer from NY to Florida on a new install and got 2653 as well.

Not sure what's going on, but if you really want to, you could stop it when you get a low pointer, and then delete the work folder and then restart fah.exe and see if it gives you a good one.
