Benchmate fail.PNG

I fucking hate Benchmate. Fresh install of Win10 22H2 and BM12.1, refuses to work. Worked two days ago when I was running a different motherboard, but that board was having other issues and I needed to swap back to a board that isn't UEFI, so figured I'd do a fresh install as well. Now it just shits itself. Same exact ISO and setup routine as last time.

What should have been one and done in 30 minutes is now an hour and a half of bullshit. Fuck this program, fuck how difficult it has made simple benchmarking. I fucking hate Benchmate.

And yes I went through and set admin rights and took ownership of every single file to try to solve this. That's what I spent 90 minutes doing, and it didn't help.

What is the platform? Are the chipset (smbus) drivers installed?

AM3, 890FX. Yes, this has all the drivers installed to their latest versions. Previous platform was 990FX with effectively the same driver stack. Yes, ACPI 2.0 is supported and enabled. Yes, HPET is supported and enabled. Also yes this configuration has worked in the past with BM11.0.

I appreciate what you are trying to do but I've already wiped this drive clean of Benchmate's shoddy existence and moved back to doing things the hard way in Win7. I'm just so sick of this solution in search of a problem roadblock of a program constantly getting in the way of my fun and turning my pass time into a massive fucking headache that devours my precious little downtime.

HPET in windows, Enabled is only for x265 benchmark, which is not built into benchmate. So you can disable in windows. On in bios is ok, which is how windows sets up as defaults.

You may need to remove manually the old benchmate files left behind and clean the registry.

This happened to me a long time ago, and I can't remember exactly the fix at this moment. I am sorry for that.

There were none to remove. This was a completely fresh install on a freshly formatted drive. So fresh in fact that the packing material the drive arrived in is still sitting on the desk beside me...
 
I get it, when it works it's great when it doesn't you just don't have any alternative, I've got a 6th gen Intel laptop it just refuses to work on claiming hpet isn't there when it is
 
Yup there is a big package of c++ updates you can grab. If I don't install it, I usually get them from a game install.

It is a pita sometimes, I know..

Then maybe the download was fubar. Try winrar too maybe?

You need to copy the install file to C:
And you need to install benchmate to C:

Its limitation/bug with current version which will get fixed next update

Here's what happens if I attempt to install v11.x or v12.x on my Windows 10 build (i5-12600K, 3070Ti). Support couldn't solve the problem and suggested that I wait until the next release to try again. Running 10.12.2 in the meantime. Installs and runs fine on the Windows 11 build, though.
 
I have no problems with Benchmate, @damric has my old C5F AM3+ board and I don't think he has issues with benchmate on it either tmk, and it's also 990FX. Contact the developer perhaps.
