XLArig v5.2.1 doesn't work on Windows 10
TannerSutherlin opened this issue · 5 comments
When I run the program it quickly comes up with a cmd prompt screen and closes out. No error messages.
I've run the program as administrator and set an exclusion on windows security settings. I've also tried to turn off my Anti Virus altogether but nothing seems to work to get it to run.
Does anyone know any solutions/workarounds?
please put this into the 1st line on your script : @cd /d "%~dp0"
It tells windows to go to the directory where the script is launched instead of C:\Windows\system32.
That way you can run it as admin.
---[Edit]---
Or are you just launching the miner without having anything configured ?
That didn't work either. It still just quickly pops up and goes away. I've configured a start.bat file where I put my wallet and pool address in.
This is what it looks like (I took my wallet address out):
@cd /d "%~dp0"
xlarig.exe --donate-level 1 -o -pool scala.herominers.com:10131 -u
-wallet address -p DesktopRig -a panthera -k
pause
Edit: I can get it started by clicking on the start.bat file but not by the XLArig program. I still get the error: "DNS Error "Unknown code or service"
Your script should work like this :
@cd /d "%~dp0"
xlarig.exe --donate-level 1 -o scala.herominers.com:10131 -u wallet_address -p DesktopRig -a panthera -k
pause
Be careful to not add a - after an argument because the miner will believe it's the setting so a -o -pool won't work.
Interesting, it's working now. I guess I just had to put the pool address without adding the -pool in front of it. Thanks!
no problem ;)
