BOINC v8 and BAM!

[Alex Piskun (Contact)]

I posted this in the BAM! forum. https://www.boincstats.com/forum/18/13049

Has anyone else seen this behavior with BOINC v8 and BAM!?

It seems that there is an issue with BOINC version 8 Beta and BAM!
Several of my computers ran out of work while attached to BAM! and detaching solved the problem immediately.
Here is a good example where account manager prefs wouldn't allow Asteroids GPU work (CPU work from other projects will also get starved) and after stop using account manager is selected, work is downloaded.
I haven't seen this behavior with version 7 BOINC hosts and still have a feeling it's a BAM! bug but could be easily convinced its a BOINC bug.
