I don't understand, you've already posted the same links twice, I haven't seen any changes...

It was a bug related to polyglot book.. user reported on Linux i Fixed it in 5min.

but you never report.. how i solve your problem?

Thanks

You didn't solve it, it keeps crashing after 4 or 5 games played, I've already given up on this engine.
Thank you...

Please tell me if you want other builds also.
I uploaded the following ARCH for windows.

1. DON-SSE4.1
2. DON-AVX2
3-. DON-BMI2
3*. DON-BMI2-COMP
4-. DON-AVXVNNI
4*. DON-AVXVNNI-COMP

5*. DON-AVX512-COMP

*NOTE: *COMP = Compressed version
- ~50% lower memory usage, typically 1–2% faster.

DON has these 4 options for book:

option name OwnBook type check default false
option name BookFile type string default <empty>
option name BookProbeDepth type spin default 100 min 1 max 256
option name BookPickBest type check default true

The last one:
option name BookPickBest type check default true

set it to false if you want random moves but still closer to best move.
set it to true if you want always best move.

Thanks

The first two were perfect, let's see the next ones...fingers crossed!

Third game, fourteenth move, it froze! I give up, let's pretend this engine never existed, unless you ask Jim to compile it for you, maybe his technique will yield better results.

Good luck!

Are you still facing Issue with SSE4.1 build?

or problem solved ?

Thanks

All builds are faulty and don't work for me, except for ssse3.

It hasn't been resolved; the program crashes after 4 to 5 games played. Wouldn't it be possible to compile it in AVX (not AVX2), only AVX? This problem occurred with Playntchess and was resolved by compiling it in AVX.
