Komodo 12.2.2 Release

[mjlef]

We released Komodo 12.2.2. Active subscribers and Komodo 1.2 buyers can get the update by going to komodochess.com, click "my account", logging in and redownloading your purchase. Although the zip file will show komodo-12.2, you will find Komodo 12.2. inside.

A note to any testers: the fix only affected MP searches (Threads greater than 1). In some cases when running MP searches, Komodo would not free up a thread, which would rob time when an opponent engine was running, which is not fair. So you can keep single thread results but please toss out and retest any MP runs. We are sorry for the bug which was caused by a switch to a new compiler and having some thread control lines with undefined behavior.

Hello,
Komodo 12.2.2. is not running well on the new Chessbase15. It reports unusual high node counts and reaches high depths very slowly.
On Hiarcs Chess Explorer everything works fine. And I just checked it's working with ChessOK Aquarium too.

Works fine in ChessGUI.
Often searches deeper than SF in the opening and middlegame, but not in the endgame.

Hi !

Have you set: "Priority Below Normal" ?
How much RAM is free after starting Komodo ?

Hi too,
about half of my 32 GB RAM is still free. Yes it is running in below normal priority.
When I peeked at the task manager I noticed that Windows Defender is running on 50% - 70% as soon as I start Komodo. I think this might be the issue here. I'll check this out...
Thanks, Michael

Hi !

Strange that Windows Defender is not running if you use
Hiarcs Chess Explorer and ChessOK Aquarium ...
What happens if you run Komodo on the console ?

Yes, strange indeed. I deactivated Windows Defender but the problem persists. I'll check the console mode next.

Perhaps ChessBase 15 try to connect the net for update or other things ?

Console mode is running perfectly. After

"setoption name Threads value 12
info string Threads now set to 12
go infinite"

I get up to 13,000,000 nps in the start position and depth 33 after a few seconds.

Going offline didn't change a thing. Komodo is running full throttle on ChessBase15 but getting nowhere (low depths).
