I tried all supported versions of catalyst on my win 8 machines
Well with bfgminer it seem to work a bit better then cgminer.
No clue what has changed in last updates but even cgminer --ndevs makes it crash
As soon as scrypt is in the config or command line it ends immediate in a crash even without any other parameters like :
Cgminer --scrypt -I12 makes it crash as soon as i enter a pool i downloaded cgminer several times to make sure nothing is wrong with the files.
What i saw is that somehow cgminer seems to get some garbled pool info even though i put it in exact as should.
The tests i set it as :
http://pool:port When i use a config file it errors out and gives me no pool defined after {
While i took from many helpfull people here their supplied copy of working configs and just replaced the pool name and login info with the ones i wanted to try
i even made several other litecoin pool logins and tried all of them and guess what all the same issues
Again this involves both cgminer and bfgminer which absolutely not wanna run anymore on scrypt
I really have tried everything but from catalyst win8 beta till 13.6 cgminer no longer wants to run
The weirdest of it all is, that as long as i can remember i have been mining scrypt succesfull for many weeks several months ago.
I will take one of my old harddrives and will install freaking ubuntu even though i hate that unfriendly linux to see if that does run normal but its still absolute weird.
Before someone says uninstall catalyst with blahblah i have been using guru3d driver sweeper, between each and every version to make sure no residue from previous versions where left behind
