I have a recent SMP2 client installed and neither FahSpy or HFM report the bonus calculation. I installed the client several times, it is processing normally and the frame times seem to be on the mark for this system, yet monitoring programs are reporting a bonus factor of 1.0. I see only the base PPD calculated and this hasn't changed with half a dozen WUs completed so far. Has anyone else seen this kind of anomaly?
 
And are you sure you are getting WUs that are eligible for the bonus? i.e. are you sure you haven't just been very unlucky and gotten a streak of A1s?
 
Get new client info?

Update HFM?
I could update HFM but FahSpy is also reporting the same anomaly and it is definitely up to date. The other SMP2 clients are not affected in either monitoring app. This is a SMP2 client running the -smp 3 -advmethods flag.

Here's the latest log:

And are you sure you are getting WUs that are eligible for the bonus? i.e. are you sure you haven't just been very unlucky and gotten a streak of A1s?
Yes, they are A3 WUs.
 
Dumb question, but did you enter your passkey when you set this one up?

Yes on every installation. It's even reported by FahSpy even if the PPD is way off..
