Looks like they are running now. Re-enabled my computers for Asteroid.

New work units available but still the same problem of units taking 20hrs plus and if Boinc is stopped and restarted the offending work unit just starts back at zero. Offending units are ps_181122. ps_190110 seem to reach 100% without a problem. Anyone know whats going on??

Don't know what's going on, but I'm experiencing same symptoms on certain WUs. I've had to abort 4 so far. Several others have run w/o issue.

Same problem here. Aborted a 21 hour task that should have taken 21 minutes. I looked at my wingman here and observed that the same task was automatically pre-empted "EXIT_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED" after 10 days. Truly a waste of computer power. I respectfully request that the "EXIT_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED" parameter be set to some reasonable value. I could not find that option under preferences, I assume it is coded into the program. Suggest an hour or 2.

Found a way to, at least, stop long tasks from executing. I set a rule in BoincTasks to suspend any Asteroids GPU task if it takes over 1 hour and 30 minutes, the "0d,01:30:00" (I show 08:00 in below pic as I did not want to wait that long). The rule, as shown below, would be "After 1:30 hours, wait 10 seconds, then suspend the task for 99 days"

This allows other tasks to use the GPU. Note that the task status is "suspendedby user" and the debug log shows the rules was executed. This rule was applied to a remote computer, ms-7593-1060, which is nice.

HTH

Almost a year now, did this problem ever get fixed? I've not run it since November 2018.
