Monitoring engine update with support for RTX 5k series

Fixed : A very rare running condition could lead OCCT to start without a schedule

Fixed : OCCT diagnostic would not switch properly schedules when run back to back

Updated monitoring engine for better compability with newer hardware

Fixed : additional sensors were picked as CPU sensors where they really weren't, leading to comparison issues. Thanks Jonatan !

Fixed : The latency/bandwidth result graph in Custom mode will limit its height for readability

Fixed : The real-time graph ticks on the Y-axis were inconsistent and off sometimes ( Thanks PaimonRen !)

Fixed : Newer Ryzen CPUs will have their TJunction detected properly, resulting in accurate real-time monitoring bars

Fixed : The power test log would be missing the lines from the individual tests

Fixed : the CMD version was unable to start a custom certificate by name ( Thanks Kai ! )

Fixed : OCCT would refuse starting a custom certificate if no metadata was declared ( Thanks Skatterbencher ! )

Fixed : The number of performance core and efficient cores was badly detected, leading to bad core cycling in the CPU test and improper core display

Fixed : OCCT would refuse to start on setups without any graphic driver being installed

Fixed : On some mobile Ryzen CPUs, the temperature wasn't displayed in the live monitoring bar

Fixed : The core cycling feature would sometime ignore higher count cores when testing or load the wrong cores

Fixed : The core cycling feature will now work properly on setups with a large number of cores ( Threadrippers, etc )

Allowed for setting the test affinity in the combined test - this allows for better handling of concurrent runs

The 3D test will now have a headstart of several seconds in a combined test to ensure proper initialization

Fixed : if an error occured right when the test stopped, it was properly counted by the counter due to a wrong ordering of events

Fixed : The per-core error count was reported as 0 in the log under some circumstances ( it was properly displayed in the total)

Revamped the way OCCT handles scroll, and each section now has its own scroll bar if needed

Fixed : A collapsed Section of the Monitoring section would reopen on selecting a new sensor (Thanks Siim !)

The start button is now always aligned to the bottom to deal with the new scrolling methods

Fixed : A test schedule would fail to load if it had more than 150 periods

Fixed : A number type metadata was always considered mandatory.

Fixed : a regression in the remote diagnostic client was hidnering normal operation

Fixed : Diagnostic session client would show the test bar when no diagnostic session schedule was defined

Fixed : The maximum value in the live monitoring bar wasn't properly set to the maximum measured which resulted in red bars on lower values than expected. This was especially proeminent on Power readings. Thanks PaimonRen !

Fixed : The VRAM test was selecting the wrong GPU to test on setups with both an AMD GPU, an AMD iGPU, and a recent driver. Thanks Ethan ! 

Fixed : The combined test wasn't selecting properly the CPU test when saving the schedule to a file and loading it. Thanks Eric !

Official release supporting Enterprise+, our groundbreaking new release, allowing users to access OCBASE, a cloud offering enabling them to compare, assess build quality of their setups before shipping

OCCT introduces a new Diagnostic edition, reserved to Enterprise+ subscribers, allowing them to diagnose hardware issues remotely

Revamped a lot of the underlying mechanics of OCCT to account for those updates

Fixes a ton of small issues related with sizing, especially with textboxes

Fixed : THe duration will be properly displayed as Automatic / Infinite when a benchmark is used in a schedule in the Enterprise edition

Lots of small bugfixes ( Comments in certificates are no longer centered, ... )

Fixed : Results will now appear properly when upload is disabled

Benchmarks tied to a private Certificate are also made private. They will be made public when the certificate is public. A mechanism to make them private/public individually will be added later on.

Fixed : running benchmarks in a schedule would discard the configuration if the benchmark was not the first period

Stability certificate can now be made private or public upon generation. Private certificates are uploaded and created, take a slot, but will only be visible to the owner. It can be made public from the dashboard on Ocbase.

Fixed : Changing the selected period in the enterprise edition report will properly update the monitoring table

Fixed : Changing the period will no longer reset the filters and selected sensors in the enterprise report

Fixed : if a schedule was only comprised of benchmarks, the report would fail to load

Fixed : not selecting any sensor will properly display an empty graph instead of the previously selected sensor in the HTML report

Revamped the communication between the test for reactivity and robustness. It also paves the way for the upcoming Linux edition

Introducing the "Combined" test allowing you to launch several tests in parallel - some make a lot of sense, some don't ( Running CPU and Memory at the same time is a BAD idea as they will compete for resources - using CPU + RAM is advised )

Greatly improved OCCT's startup time, especially on older setups

OCCT will now do its best to work around some silly antivirus locking temp files or purging them before use.

Updated the underlying technology of the UI ( Major update if there's any ) which led us to reimplement a lot of stuff - paving the way for the future. CPU Usage of the UI is lower than ever

Updated brand identity and looks for the UI, to reflect our new brand identity. OCCT has never been looking so amazing !

You can now chose between Direct3D and OpenGL as a renderer option. Direct3D is the default, but suffers from flickers with Nvidia cards due to a bug in either Nvidia drivers or Windows that hasn't been fixed for more than a year now. It's the same bug as Chrome. You can switch to OpenGL to avoid those, but the UI will use more RAM sadly.

Added VRAM usage support to the top monitoring bar

Fixed : You can now disable the "Physical memory used" sensor in the table

Coolermaster collaboration ended sadly - the option for the coolermaster skin has been removed and won't be present in v13 anymore. Maybe it will come back in the future !

Split the CPU test to CPU and CPU+RAM ( CPU Small (v12) => CPU (v13), CPU Medium and Large (v12) => CPU + RAM (v13)). This is to better outline which component the test is actually testing

Introduced a new mode for the Latency & Bandwidth benchmark, testing a lot of different data set points, going up to 1GB. You'll now have full curves for identifying breakpoints !

Major update to the HTML report : graphics, technology, memory used

The HTML report graph tooltip will now properly report values exactly at the hovered point ( previous hovers were off by a few points )

Fixed a memory leak that could occur in the HTNL report when comparing

Fixed : L3 Cache size was badly detected on 7950X CPUs, leading to a L3 Latency/Bandwidth benchmark crash

Fixed : When a test was cancelled, OCCT would close with a return code of 0 instead of 1 when using auto-close=true

Fixed : OCCT would return a bogus return code when exiting the command-line version after retrying an upload

Updated HwInfo engine to better support newer hardware

Introduced two new command-line switches : --overwrite-report-file (for test) and --overwrite-upload-result-file (for stability certificates). They will allow you to overwrite the existing report file instead of creating a new one and appending a number. Default is false to keep the current behavior.

When running a stability certificate, the upload result file will now be written in case of success and error, containing information about the error encountered.

If auto-close is set and the upload fails, OCCT won't auto-close and stay open to allow you to retry the upload

Fixed : the report wasn't properly saved when auto-close was set to true

Fixed : the report can now be generated several times per run

For stability certificates, added a retry upload in case there's an issue with the process

Using the command-line edition, you can now save a small JSON file containing the stability certificate upload result ( --save-upload-result=<true/false> and --upload-result-file=<path to the file>). Documentation will be updated very soon

Refactored the way OCCT checks for a test proper execution and strengthened it. It will avoid very rare race-conditions

Fixed : the previous error counter would display immediately upon starting a test

The benchmarks are now optional - if they somehow fail to execute properly, the certificate will still be generated

Fixed : The monitoring only test configured with launching an external program will no longer fail when started without scripts

The HwInfo version number is now dynamic so I don't forget to update it manually anymore

Fixed : The vram test UI will properly load the "Test all GPU" value when switching periods / loading a schedule

Fixed : Sync issue between threads that should load the same physical core ( Thanks artemus ! )

Fixed : A lingering process was present when you tried to start OCCT twice

Added Snapshot polling support. This allow HwInfo to more accurately get the CPU frequency and uses much less CPU cycles to do so. Enabled by default.

Fixed : During stability certificates, errors were properly detected and reacted upon, but failed to show in the log and indicator

Fixed : error count in the log would repesent the total numbers of errors detected and not the new error count

Fixed : Final fix to the GUI slow updates during Memory stress tests

Fixed : when maximized, the test names were missing from the period display. What a weird bug to be honest.

When a single period is present in a schedule, the delete and move buttons are now hidden (they didn't do anything anyway)

Fixed : Some translations issues on Stability certificate descriptions and tooltips

Improvements on disk-related tasks to improve UI reactivity under high load scenarios

Fixed : The memory test in Auto thread modes could result in very large hangs on the GUI side.

Fixed : The test was not properly "killing itself" when the GUI was crashed

Fixed : In the report, 3D adaptive was using its internal name when displayed in the period selection combobox

Fixed : selecting a 3D Adaptive period   in the period selection area was outputting errors

Fixed : The default report filename wasn't properly formatted

Fixed : debug code reached production and generated errors on the CPU test. Sorry.

Added sound support in OCCT, announcing any error detected using our first voice performer : GLaDOS !

Fixed : AMD GPUs were showing as "gfx" in OpenCL tests ( Vram and Compute)

Added proper error messages when HwInfo cannot be initialized or when OCCT cannot write in the temp folder

Fixed : OCCT was refusing to start on setups without proper OpenCL support - which is usually due to missing or very old drivers

Fixed : Auto thread mode sometimes didn't start the proper amount of threads

Fixed : Coolermaster UI related glitches ( thanks Serhii ! )

Fixed : Forgot to remove 3D adaptive from the list of benefits in the stability certificate section

Fixed : If a CPU is lacking a particular CPU cache level ( for example, no L3 cache ), the bench won't display the option anymore and won't try to give figures for it when it's really missing.

Fixed : the latency benchmark would fail to give bandwidth figure in some cases due to a large page error

Removed dependencies to windows cryptographic functions

Replaced the "busy" indicator with a new one to lower the UI usage by using a 2FPS animation for this indicator. Especially useful for the new memory latency benchmark

Updated HwInfo engine to the latest version

Much better support for the top-level bar for AMD GPUs (some sensors were missing previously)

OCCT now allows you to disable monitoring again, as in v11

Revamped the advanced thread section ! The CPU test will allow you to do per-core testing, exclude core, and ecven launch several threads per core. This will definitely get you covered for all your per-core testing needs !

Fixed issues with multi-GPU support - will now work flawlessly

Test is now available in the Free edition of OCCT

Fixed the GPU selection algorithm and this test will now work on GPU that aren't 3D capable ( Nvidia A100, etc.)

New benchmark : Latency/Bandwidth ! This test will tell you latency, read and write bandwidth for Memory, L1, L2, and L3 cache

Revamped the Upload mechanism, cutting down memory requirements for very big uploads (platinum certificates) and time required for preparing the data for upload

Fixed : A StackOverflow exception might occur on setup with large numbers of sensors when uploading platinum stability certificates

Fixed : the graphs might be missing after a successful benchmark upload

Fixed : Auto-starting a Stability certificate without having a config file present would start a Bronze level certificate regardless of the level chosen, in the GUI edition only

Fixed : The autoupdate would sometimes fail due to being too fast and clashing with other processes analyzing files. Sadly, this will be fixed when auto-updating from 12.0.13 to later versions

Fixed : negative font offsets are now properly remembered

Fixed : The summary would be stuck displaying SSE when instead of the selected instruction set. This was just a display issue.

Fixed : The last readings file would not be created in OCCT's temp folder

Fixed : When OCCT isn't configured to stop on the first error found, the schedule status would be set to finished, instead of error detected, when error occured. This lead to bogus exit codes in command-line.

Fixed : Auto-starting a stability certificate using command-line uin the GUI edition would be stuck with bronze level. Silver and others could not be selected. This did not occur with the command-line edition of OCCT.

Fixed : OCCT would sometimes refuse to start on older CPUs

Fixed : the graphs were not showing without license

Fixed : An exception may occur if your system had no 3d-capable GPU

The language translation option is now properly hidden again

Fixed : There's no constraint on the minimum interval when loading OCCT's settings anymore. The newer timer used doesn't allow concurrent refreshes, so the minimum refresh time doesn't have to be constrained anymore

Fixed : The enterprise edition would sometimes refuse to start if your CPU had more than 32 cores

Both the UI and the Command-line version will have an exit code corresponding to the test status (only if --auto-close is used for the UI edition). Codes are as follows : Finished = 0, Cancelled =1,Overheat = 2,Crashed = 3,ErrorFound = 4, WheaErrorFound = 5

Fixed : OCCT would not properly close if no test was launched prior

The cursor will switch to wait status while OCCT's cleaning up before closing

Fixed : When the window was closed, the process responsible for stopping the running tests and saving the report might have been interrupted

Fixed : The last location used for saving a screenshot is now properly remembered

Fixed : Auto starting a test would sometimes not display the test timer if the window was maximized

Fixed : if a report file with the same name already existed, OCCT would wrongly save it as #2#3, instead of #3 right away

Fixed : The sensor rules file was not properly loaded on startup, and OCCT would use its default rules

Fixed : When a WHEA error was detected and no compute error, the text status would still say "no error(s) detected". They properly appeared in the test log, and the indicator was yellow as intended, but this led to confusion.

Added Serial number reporting for Memory modules

Fixed : When no GPU was detected, the intended message didn't show up

Fixed : an issue was rarely preventing the benchmarks from finishing properly

Fixed : The summary did not display the current benchmark running

Fixed : The test status in the PNG report for the personal edition was not reflecting the last test run

Fixed : Serial numbers for Memory were missing from the json and HTML report

Fix : pressing space during a stability certificate won't restart the timer.

Fixed : Unsupported instruction sets would appear in the dropdown

Tentative fix : AVX512 would display weird behavior in advanced thread mode

Fixed : Schedules created with v11 would not load properly

Fixed : Autoupdate was still kicking in when it is not yet supported

Fixed a regression introduced in 12.0.3 : OCCT would fail to start on computer where it was never started before

Fixed : the monitoring driver may have been in use before starting OCCT

Fixed : The upload to ocbase setting was ignored 

Fixed : The font size setting wasn't kept after a restart

Fixed : After restarting a test that detected errors quickly, OCCT would detect a negative number of errors

Fixed : The instruction set wouldn't appear in the Power test summary

Removed the CPU and 3D test start log lines in the power test to avoid confusion

"Run all" CPU benchmark is now the default (without a config file)

System - Bronze stability certificate is now selected by default

Fixed : The autoupdate will properly restart OCCT and stop displaying a cmd box upon updating. As the issue is in the client, OCCT 12.0.0 and 12.0.1 will still exhibit this bug when auto updating to 12.0.2 or later versions. Starting from 12.0.2, this behavior will be gone.

The top-level bar will now remember the CPU&GPU selected

The top-level bar will try to auto-select a relevant GPU instead of the first one, which was often the iGPU

Added motherboard infos to system information

Fixed an exception that could occur if the number of physical cores and logical cores was badly detected ( mostly on older CPUs)

Added an option to save a debug file with system information and monitoring information - will come in handy to improve the top level bar auto-sensor picking

Fixed : the duration was off in the text of the UI ( the stability certificate durations were right, this is just a display issue )

Not forgetting about you translators, bugfixes are occuring in a side branch, please bear with me !

Fixed : The Drive flag for monitoring wasn't working

Fixed : The about window was not displaying license status and HwInfo version

Fixed : A memory leak would occur when OCCT was minimized and the graphs were displayed

Fixed : a dependency was missing, causing a crash of the test when started on bare Windows installations

Fixed : The GPU select option (and test all GPUs) was missing from the Power test

Rewrote 70% of the application - switched to net core. UI will feel much more reactive, will use less CPU, at the cost of some memory usage

Removed a lot of dependencies - OCCT has never been THAT portable

Added the ability to launch an external program to OCCT through the Monitoring Only test

Introducing a brand new UI with lots of features. The most proeminent is the top-level monitoring bar that is slated to improve a lot over time !

You can now more easily filter monitoring values. Use the right click to do so !

Graphs can be clicked to pinpoint values accurately. Give it a shot

Introducing GPU, System, and System (no 3D) stablity certificates

Added report comparison feature - contact us for more detail

The translation system will be released in an upcoming version of OCCT - this is english only for the time being. Sorry for that delay - it definitely needs some more time

Fixed a regression introduced in 11.0.22 related to stability certificate upload

Fixed a regression introduced in 11.0.22 leading to a crash when saving reports

Updated monitoring engine to deal with the recent security update released for Windows 11

Fixed : the window was still somewhat resizeable when monitoring was disabled for a short time

FIX : The serial numbers for some components were missing in the JSON report

Fixed : The upload would still occur if it was disabled in the settings

Added a fallback to another endpoint to the upload in case it fails

Fixed : The GUI would refuse to start if no GPU was detected

Instruction Set : Auto will be set to AVX2 instead of 512 as this option has proven to be much better at error detection ( for now )

The initialization time won't be counted in the global timer anymore. This means the test will apply the loqad change roughly 2s after starting, time for it to initialize

Fixed : Much smoother curve on older GPUs

Fixed : the load was set too low on RTX4090, resulting is a steep jump between 99% and 100%

The test will have a much better scaling on newer GPUs ( RTX4090 especially )

Fixed : uploading would fail in edge cases ( those issues are tough to reproduce )

Fixed : a rare bug would prevent stability certificate from uploading properly

Fixed : OCCT Command-line would error out when loading its config file and revert to the default values

Fixed : The memory available for testing was reported as 1GB instead of its real value

Fixed the upload issue - the previous fixes from 11.0.14 are now back in the main branch

Revamped the way OCCT is listing GPUs for better compatibility with ARC GPUs

Fixed : threads were competiting too much for a single resources, resulting in a loss of efficiency in high thread, small data set scenarios ( thanks Anders from Asetek ! )

Fixed : If a duration was exactly 00:00:00, the report would display it as "invalid duration" in the log

Release 11.0.14 has a critical issue with uploading that will take time to diagnose. 11.0.13 has been relabeled as 11.0.15 to give me some time to diagnose the issue. Sorry !

Big update & support for newer CPUs and GPUs ( Arc770,RTX4k...)
