I've found the problem: my notebook has 2 graphic cards, an integrated Intel HD Graphics and a Nvidia GeForce.
By default Windows uses the Intel graphics, and automatically switches to the more powerful GeForce graphics when a program requires it.
This automatic switching usually works for all my other 3D programs (and I have a lot of them), but not for CST-GUI - I've no idea why!?
So CST-GUI works if I manually change the graphics card to the Nvidia GeForce.
Yes, that's also what Mr Claude thinks having read the MMarco bug report. I will possibly have spacetime in next couple days to determine the fix.

Feedback please, because I can't recreate exact 2-GPU systems that failed, but it should be working

Working here, nice 3D board.
90% of coding is debugging, the other 10% is writing bugs.

Another case of it works for me, but not for you, this time for different reasons (permissions).

Pick it up direct from the website

Are you kidding me?
The link to your fixed (?) version is not working, and on your website there's only the previous (not working) version of 21.7.

I'm out - no longer interested in your program - cheers ...

The program is free, given away for fun. No fame, fortune or reward. No contract with you, you pay nothing, you are entitled to nothing and I have no idea who you are even.

Where did you learn to be so rude?

Where did you learn to be so rude?
And where did you learn to be so incompetent?

You post a link to a supposedly corrected program version, and when I tell you that the link doesn't work, you tell me to download the new program version from your website, but it only has the previous, non-functional version.

That's what I call incompetence!
(If I were truly being rude, I would even call that stupidity. ;))

Looks like the correct download link is:https://github.com/ChrisWhittington/Chess-System-Tal-NNUE-2/releases/download/v2.07/CST-GUI-2.07.1.zip
All the best,

Thanks Tibono, this link is correct now!

Unfortunately, the automatic switching to the correct graphics card still doesn't work in this version either.

But I didn't really expect anything different from a program written by AI.

Franz
