tamajon commented 2 years ago

good morning, when I try to install thorium the installer stops for no reason and the installation fails

Alex313031 commented 2 years ago

@tamajon What release are you using? What OS are you using? What CPU do you have?

tamajon commented 2 years ago

the portable version worked fine 8th Release - M100.0.4865.0 AVX2 windows 8.1 x64 celeron 847

Alex313031 commented 2 years ago

@tamajon hmmmm thats strange. That release is an AVX2 release, but your celeron only supports AVX. I would have said this is why it didn't work. But if the portable version works, I guess thats good. But it also means that for some reason that build is not using AVX2 instructions. In any case, next release will be a normal AVX release, and hopefully I will have worked out the icon bug. Have you experienced this, where the icon on the taskbar is a yellow "warning icon" rather than the correct Thoirum logo?

tamajon commented 2 years ago

In the portable version that I was able to run I had no problems with the icon, it was fine. Now I will try to install the new version, thanks for your effort

thorium 10th Release - M101.0.4918.0 crash for me intel core i5 tiger-lake U (with AVX2 and AVX512) windows 11 (but thorium 9th Release - M100.0.4888 work fine)

Alex313031 commented 2 years ago

Try the latest AVX2 release. Rince robrich has stopped making chromium releases, I have committed to make windows avx and avx2 releases, and made a new repo for the avx2 releases. https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-AVX2/

Try the latest release in there.

thorium 10th Release - M101.0.4918.0, installer crash Windows 8.1 x64 Celeron 847 (with AVX)

Alex313031 commented 2 years ago

@paulatreides-web How is it now with the latest releases?

@tamajon Celeron 847 does NOT have AVX even though it is Sandy Bridge (2nd gen core). They disabled AVX and even SSE4.2 on Celeron and Intel Atom, as well as some Pentiums, up until skylake.

Alex313031 commented 2 years ago

@paulatreides-web hows it comin?

@tamajon Correction, some celerons and pentiums below skylake DO have SSE4.2, but still no AVX. If you dont believe me, see here https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/56056/intel-celeron-processor-847-2m-cache-1-10-ghz.html under "Advanced Technologies" at "Instruction Set Extensions", where it only lists sse4.1 and sse4.2. Also here on wikipedia > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Celeron_processors#Sandy_Bridge_based_Celerons_2
