For now go back to version 1.8.0.2 as it uses another way to contact the server for current algorithm rates. The newer ones work on my ASUS Z270 motherboard but they don't work on my Gigabyte Z97

it may hang on getting SMA, or it may get no results and act like it can't connect, so get an older version from this address, scroll down till you see 1.8.0.2

Hang on

namespace NiceHashMiner.Devices
{
class CPUComputeDevice : ComputeDevice
{
PerformanceCounter cpuCounter;

    public override float Load {
        get {
            try {
                if (cpuCounter != null) return cpuCounter.NextValue(); <--- this line
            } catch (Exception e) { Helpers.ConsolePrint("CPUDIAG", e.ToString()); }
            return 0;
        }
    }

This appears to be a common problem with PerformanceCounter NextValue

Constant such problem

add Pull request #625

@Sav87 made few fixes, so NHML can use another way of getting SMA data if primary method fails.
I've compiled his fixes and made this release:

@xtrime-ru That didn't work for me :( Going back to 1.8.0.2 seems to work for now. I really hope they fix this soon :(

[xtrime-ru]

@x2ruff4u A lot of users have no issues after fix. Today was some problems with nicehash api (its backup method in fix), maybe you tried fix while api was having issues... But im glad to know that you have backup plan :)

Well there's a few different versions of 1.8.1.5 does it matter which? I just tried it again and still hangs on the error which is odd. I was mining fine and I keep 2 profiles for mining, one with limits so I can use my pc and the other with no limits while I sleep full speed mining. This error happened out of nowhere and I didn't do anything odd.

[xtrime-ru]

@x2ruff4u I've tested fix on latest 1.8.1.5 https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMinerLegacy/releases/tag/1.8.1.5
and on 1.8.2 pre-2

Are you sure you replaced 20 files in nicehash folder from .zip?
Can you send screenshot of error?

[x2ruff4u]

@xtrime-ru Okay I did a fresh download of that version and just moved the files to that folder and now it's working! Maybe I had some odd configuration which was messing with it before. Thanks so much!!!

[xtrime-ru]

@x2ruff4u glad to hear!
Also your version could be old and without some files, wich new exe with fix was trying to run in middle of mining.

I think you can try to add your configs, there is no changes in fixed exe in that area.

Still getting the same problem after trying the NiceHashMinerLegacy 1.8.1.5 with SMA fix. Tried downloading various versions and they all get stuck at the " Getting NiceHash SMA Information". Is there something else I need to check? Everything was fine yesterday.
