Issues with Leela ver,0.26.3-RC2

[corres]

I tried to make a test with it but about in the 10 % of games it stopped to work.
Nevertheless, it proved being fast, about 50 % faster than the older versions.
So I am waiting for the RC 3 version...

I can confirm that there is a problem. In my 300 games "SuFi for the poor" testrun with lc0 0.26.3rc2, I had a stop and crash after 200 games. After restarting, the remaining 100 games were played without problems.

Note
What I write above is relate to the cuda backend version.
With cudnn backend the speed enhancement is only about 30 % but it works more stable.

We can download the Leela ver.0.26.3 last version from lczero.org
Maybe it is better...

It is pity, but the end release of Leela ver.0.26.3 show the same issues than the RC versions.
Maybe the developers of Leela modified too many in the source of Leela (ver.0.25.1) and it is hard to handle the modifications accordingly.
Maybe it would be better to return to ver.0.25.1 line - it was a very good Leela.

I have played many games with both 0.26.3 and 0.26.3-rc2 without issues. I have only had issues with rc1, and this was due to a rc1 issue only.

What GPU are use using, and firmware? And what windows version? If you are using older versions of either. This can be the issues. You may need to update both to an acceptable version level. This could be your issue. I hope this helps.

"The new cuda package comes with cuda 11.1 dlls and requires at least version 456.38 of the windows Nvidia drivers, and should give better performance on RTX cards and in particular the new RTX 30XX cards."

They make to play on TCEC the version of 0.26.3 RC1...
Maybe the source code of 0.26.3 RC1 playing on TCEC is not exactly what we can download from the site of lczero.org
