The reason I ask, is because if there is nothing apart from web-based activation security, the hackers will rip it to shreds in 2 weeks flat !

Logical, I think.
Free??
If you're aware it's a commercial product, no honest person consider it free! Actually, some of us wouldn't even know about hacked or cracked software. We don't look for it as it's not in our interest, and not our job ...
Then it's not even an issue of specualtion. However, sadly, developers need secure their work more in these times.

Re: Houdini 6 has been released
Damir Desevac: did you modify Move Overhead parameter?
That position was clearly drawish when Houdini's flag fell.
Lag and delay has to be accounted for during network matches.

Re: Houdini 6 has been released
Hello Damir,
If you experience time losses in games without time increment, you should increase the Move Overhead parameter.
Apparently you have huge lag ("Lag: Av=0.36s, max=3.0s"), you'll have to experiment a bit to see which amount of Move Overhead can cope with that.

Re: Houdini 6 has been released
thanks for your suggestion Robert. I will try and increase Move Overhead parameter.

Re: Houdini 6 has been released
Just an fyi I had trouble running the installer on my 24 core Windows 2016 server edition. I had to go into the executable properties and select the unlock feature.

Re: Houdini 6 has been released
I would be very keen to see a Linux version.
I do realize that it is a much smaller market, and it would probably take a lot of work to redo SMP primitives.
But it would also make the port to Mac much easier, since the Mac is Posix under the covers.
Of course, that is another small market so it may not be worth the bother.

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

What is the rest of your configuration? For example, are you using any table bases?Damir wrote:Now my Houdini 6 is running like a single core.
It's not easy for me to give a meaningful reply without additional information.
