I have several wu where my computers have a really long runtime (close to 10 hrs instead of the usual ~5 hrs).
----------------------------------------These wu were all valid but received low credit. A deeper look at these wu reveiled that the wingman had CPU time of 0 (zero) and therefore a low credit. But my real sorrow is: How can the wingman return those wu as valid? Example: MCM1_0022002_4573 MCM1_0022002_4035 MCM1_0022002_3371  |

Not the first time the CPU or Elapsed got lost in hyperspace, but otherwise these tasks' output is valid. Yes it blows the lid on credit, but then, what's [Credit]new ;o)
----------------------------------------BTW, what are the client version / OS combo's of those wingman? Edit: Oh, we had a strange credit event lasting several days for MCM right after the server out on the 7th [when techs fixed the download stuck issue, again]. See https://bit.ly/WCGMCM1. The underlying credit statistics seems to heavily overreact to greater than small changes. [No point in expounding on the matter  ].[Edit 1 times, last edit by SekeRob* at Apr 11, 2016 9:37:14 AM] |

Looks like your wingman is running quite an old Linux, in a virtual environment at that. Result log would reveal the client version that device has/had.

The result log of my wingman starts with:
----------------------------------------<core_client_version>7.5.0</core_client_version> |

That is the number of the very first alpha build towards 7.6 beta and public release versions.
