lczero v0.8 does not run in Fritz 16

[pohl4711]

Lczero 0.8 (CPU and GPU) does not run in Fritz 16 (not possible to create an UCI-engine). Not with or without inBetween-adapter. v0.7 runs in Fritz 16, but since the networks are 15x192, v0.7 only works in Fritz 16, when inBetween-adapter is used.
In Fritz 13 v0.7 and v0.8 are working without any problems and without inBetween-adapter.

Is this with syzygy enabled?
I noticed that the already slow startup time nearly has doubled with 5men only syzygy at least on my hardware.

I am not even sure it will run anymore in cutechess-cli with that startup time.
Had no time to test it yet - only tried it from commandline so far.

Edit:
Still runs in CuteChess-Cli, but starts late after 18 seconds the first time,
second time 10 seconds (Prefetching!)
(This was with syzygy 5men, they just don't show up in the debug from cute.)

No, I never use Syzygy-Bases.

Lczero 0.8 (CPU and GPU) does not run in Fritz 16 (not possible to create an UCI-engine). Not with or without inBetween-adapter. v0.7 runs in Fritz 16, but since the networks are 15x192, v0.7 only works in Fritz 16, when inBetween-adapter is used.
In Fritz 13 v0.7 and v0.8 are working without any problems and without inBetween-adapter.

No issues with Fritz14 GUI, although loading the engine is clearly taking longer than before. Aside from that, no issues. I do use inBetween.

In german CSS , J.Hartmann wrote, that in Fritz 15 lczero v0.8 is running, too.
Only Fritz 16 is the problem.

Did you run the tuner manually before using fritz? Remember that the 1st time you load the engine, it will run the (shortened) self-tuning routine and that will take longer than a normal start. Maybe that's why fritz is not working anymore?

Of course. I tuned lczero before. And in Fritz 13 it is running perfectly. Only in Fritz 16 v0.8 is not running.

Version 8 will not load in my Fritz 16 either, I thought it was just me.lol I tried everything even in administrator mode. So do we have to reinstall Fritz 12?

Hi Stefan,

I had a similar issue in Fritz 16, though not in Komodo 11 or Houdini 6 interface. To solve this, I used Polyglot.

http://hgm.nubati.net/polyglot.exe

And used the following in the Polyglot.ini file:

[PolyGlot]
EngineCommand=lczero.exe -t3 --uci
EngineDir=.
Log=true
LogFile=polyglot.log
ShowTbHits=false
Book=false
[Engine]
Hash=1024
SyzygyPath=

Please note that this is with the GPU version of v0.8 and tuned for -t3 as I use a GTX1060. Feel free to modify that parameter.

Place both Polyglot.exe and Polyglot.ini in the LCZero folder, and install Polyglot.exe as the UCI engine.

Cheers,

Albert

sorry to turn this into a tech support 101 thread, but i'm having issues with the leela & polyglot .exe's opening a command prompt for a flash & promptly closing it. only thing i know to do is run as administrator, which just repeats the problem...anyone know what might be the issue?
