What's new in OCCT 12.1.18.99
Mar 27, 2024
- Monitoring:
- Updated monitoring engine
- SysInfo:
- Fixed : 14900KS were reported as 14900K
New in OCCT 12.1.17.99 (Mar 15, 2024)
- Main:
- Fixed : L3 Cache size was badly detected on 7950X CPUs, leading to a L3 Latency/Bandwidth benchmark crash
New in OCCT 12.1.16.99 (Mar 11, 2024)
- Ui:
- Various, minor bugfixes related to UI
- Enterprise:
- Fixed : When a test was cancelled, OCCT would close with a return code of 0 instead of 1 when using auto-close=true
- Fixed : OCCT would return a bogus return code when exiting the command-line version after retrying an upload
New in OCCT 12.1.15.99 (Jan 22, 2024)
- Monitoring:
- Updated HwInfo engine to better support newer hardware
- Enterprise:
- Introduced two new command-line switches : --overwrite-report-file (for test) and --overwrite-upload-result-file (for stability certificates). They will allow you to overwrite the existing report file instead of creating a new one and appending a number. Default is false to keep the current behavior.
- When running a stability certificate, the upload result file will now be written in case of success and error, containing information about the error encountered.
- If auto-close is set and the upload fails, OCCT won't auto-close and stay open to allow you to retry the upload
New in OCCT 12.1.13.99 (Dec 12, 2023)
- For stability certificates, added a retry upload in case there's an issue with the process
- Using the command-line edition, you can now save a small JSON file containing the stability certificate upload result ( --save-upload-result=<true/false> and --upload-result-file=<path to the file>). Documentation will be updated very soon
New in OCCT 12.1.12.99 (Dec 3, 2023)
- Main:
- Refactored the way OCCT checks for a test proper execution and strengthened it. It will avoid very rare race-conditions
- Cpu:
- Fixed : the previous error counter would display immediately upon starting a test
- StabilityCertificate:
- The benchmarks are now optional - if they somehow fail to execute properly, the certificate will still be generated
New in OCCT 12.1.11.99 (Nov 16, 2023)
- Main:
- Fixed : The monitoring only test configured with launching an external program will no longer fail when started without scripts
- Monitoring:
- The HwInfo version number is now dynamic so I don't forget to update it manually anymore
- Vram:
- Fixed : The vram test UI will properly load the "Test all GPU" value when switching periods / loading a schedule
New in OCCT 12.1.9.99 (Oct 9, 2023)
- Main:
- Fixed : A lingering process was present when you tried to start OCCT twice
- Monitoring:
- Added Snapshot polling support. This allow HwInfo to more accurately get the CPU frequency and uses much less CPU cycles to do so. Enabled by default.
- Linpack:
- Fixed : During stability certificates, errors were properly detected and reacted upon, but failed to show in the log and indicator
- Linpack:
- Fixed : error count in the log would repesent the total numbers of errors detected and not the new error count
- Memory:
- Fixed : Final fix to the GUI slow updates during Memory stress tests
- Enterprise:
- Fixed : when maximized, the test names were missing from the period display. What a weird bug to be honest.
- When a single period is present in a schedule, the delete and move buttons are now hidden (they didn't do anything anyway)
New in OCCT 12.1.8.99 (Oct 3, 2023)
- Ui:
- Fixed : Some translations issues on Stability certificate descriptions and tooltips
- Improvements on disk-related tasks to improve UI reactivity under high load scenarios
- Memory:
- Fixed : The memory test in Auto thread modes could result in very large hangs on the GUI side.
- Fixed : The test was not properly "killing itself" when the GUI was crashed
- Report:
- Fixed : In the report, 3D adaptive was using its internal name when displayed in the period selection combobox
- Fixed : selecting a 3D Adaptive period in the period selection area was outputting errors
- Fixed : The default report filename wasn't properly formatted
New in OCCT 12.1.4.99 (Sep 22, 2023)
- Cpu:
- Fixed : Auto thread mode sometimes didn't start the proper amount of threads
New in OCCT 12.1.3.99 (Sep 21, 2023)
- Ui:
- Fixed: Coolermaster UI related glitches ( thanks Serhii ! )
- StabilityCertificate:
- Fixed: Forgot to remove 3D adaptive from the list of benefits in the stability certificate section
New in OCCT 12.0.15.99 (Sep 4, 2023)
- Main:
- Revamped the Upload mechanism, cutting down memory requirements for very big uploads (platinum certificates) and time required for preparing the data for upload
- Fixed : A StackOverflow exception might occur on setup with large numbers of sensors when uploading platinum stability certificates
- Benchmark:
- Fixed : the graphs might be missing after a successful benchmark upload
New in OCCT 12.0.13.99 (Aug 23, 2023)
- Main:
- Fixed : The autoupdate would sometimes fail due to being too fast and clashing with other processes analyzing files. Sadly, this will be fixed when auto-updating from 12.0.13 to later versions
- Ui:
- Fixed : negative font offsets are now properly remembered
- Power:
- Fixed : The summary would be stuck displaying SSE when instead of the selected instruction set. This was just a display issue.
- Enterprise:
- Fixed : The last readings file would not be created in OCCT's temp folder
- Fixed : When OCCT isn't configured to stop on the first error found, the schedule status would be set to finished, instead of error detected, when error occured. This lead to bogus exit codes in command-line.
- Fixed : Auto-starting a stability certificate using command-line uin the GUI edition would be stuck with bronze level. Silver and others could not be selected. This did not occur with the command-line edition of OCCT.
New in OCCT 12.0.12.99 (Aug 15, 2023)
- Main:
- Various, minor bugfixes
- Fixed : OCCT would sometimes refuse to start on older CPUs
New in OCCT 12.0.10.99 (Jun 22, 2023)
- Main:
- Fixed : An exception may occur if your system had no 3d-capable GPU
- Ui:
- The language translation option is now properly hidden again
- Monitoring:
- Fixed : There's no constraint on the minimum interval when loading OCCT's settings anymore. The newer timer used doesn't allow concurrent refreshes, so the minimum refresh time doesn't have to be constrained anymore
- Enterprise:
- Fixed : The enterprise edition would sometimes refuse to start if your CPU had more than 32 cores
- Both the UI and the Command-line version will have an exit code corresponding to the test status (only if --auto-close is used for the UI edition). Codes are as follows : Finished = 0, Cancelled =1,Overheat = 2,Crashed = 3,ErrorFound = 4, WheaErrorFound = 5
New in OCCT 12.0.8.99 (Jun 14, 2023)
- Main:
- Fixed : When the window was closed, the process responsible for stopping the running tests and saving the report might have been interrupted
- Ui:
- Fixed : The last location used for saving a screenshot is now properly remembered
- Enterprise:
- Fixed : Auto starting a test would sometimes not display the test timer if the window was maximized
- Fixed : if a report file with the same name already existed, OCCT would wrongly save it as #2#3, instead of #3 right away
- Fixed : The sensor rules file was not properly loaded on startup, and OCCT would use its default rules
New in OCCT 12.0.7.99 (Jun 9, 2023)
- Main:
- Fixed : When a WHEA error was detected and no compute error, the text status would still say "no error(s) detected". They properly appeared in the test log, and the indicator was yellow as intended, but this led to confusion.
- SysInfo:
- Added Serial number reporting for Memory modules
- SysInfo:
- Fixed : When no GPU was detected, the intended message didn't show up
- Benchmark:
- Fixed : an issue was rarely preventing the benchmarks from finishing properly
- MemoryBenchmark:
- Fixed : The summary did not display the current benchmark running
- Report:
- Fixed : The test status in the PNG report for the personal edition was not reflecting the last test run
- Enterprise:
- Fixed : Serial numbers for Memory were missing from the json and HTML report
New in OCCT 12.0.6.99 (Jun 1, 2023)
- Main:
- Fix : pressing space during a stability certificate won't restart the timer.
New in OCCT 12.0.5.99 (May 30, 2023)
- Cpu:
- Fixed : Unsupported instruction sets would appear in the dropdown
- Tentative fix : AVX512 would display weird behavior in advanced thread mode
- Enterprise:
- Fixed : Schedules created with v11 would not load properly
- Fixed : Autoupdate was still kicking in when it is not yet supported
New in OCCT 12.0.4 (May 29, 2023)
- Fixed a regression introduced in 12.0.3 : OCCT would fail to start on computer where it was never started before
New in OCCT 12.0.2 (May 21, 2023)
- Main:
- Fixed : The autoupdate will properly restart OCCT and stop displaying a cmd box upon updating. As the issue is in the client, OCCT 12.0.0 and 12.0.1 will still exhibit this bug when auto updating to 12.0.2 or later versions. Starting from 12.0.2, this behavior will be gone.
- Monitoring:
- The top-level bar will now remember the CPU&GPU selected
- The top-level bar will try to auto-select a relevant GPU instead of the first one, which was often the iGPU
- SysInfo:
- Added motherboard infos to system information
- Fixed an exception that could occur if the number of physical cores and logical cores was badly detected ( mostly on older CPUs)
- Settings:
- Added an option to save a debug file with system information and monitoring information - will come in handy to improve the top level bar auto-sensor picking
- Stability Certificate:
- Fixed : the duration was off in the text of the UI ( the stability certificate durations were right, this is just a display issue )
- Translation:
- Not forgetting about you translators, bugfixes are occuring in a side branch, please bear with me !
New in OCCT 12.0.1 (May 17, 2023)
- Main:
- Fixed : The Drive flag for monitoring wasn't working
- Ui:
- Fixed : The about window was not displaying license status and HwInfo versio
- Fixed : A memory leak would occur when OCCT was minimized and the graphs were displayed

New in OCCT 11.0.19 (Jan 8, 2023)
- Main:
- Fixed : The upload would still occur if it was disabled in the settings
- Added a fallback to another endpoint to the upload in case it fails
- Monitoring:
- Engine updated
New in OCCT 11.0.18 (Dec 13, 2022)
- Main:
- Improved upload error logging
- Fixed : The GUI would refuse to start if no GPU was detected
- Cpu:
- Instruction Set : Auto will be set to AVX2 instead of 512 as this option has proven to be much better at error detection ( for now )
- Gpu3DAdaptive:
- The initialization time won't be counted in the global timer anymore. This means the test will apply the loqad change roughly 2s after starting, time for it to initialize
- Fixed : Much smoother curve on older GPUs
- Fixed : the load was set too low on RTX4090, resulting is a steep jump between 99% and 100%
- The test will have a much better scaling on newer GPUs ( RTX4090 especially )
- Benchmark:
- Fixed : uploading would fail in edge cases ( those issues are tough to reproduce )
- StabilityCertificate:
- Fixed : a rare bug would prevent stability certificate from uploading properly
- Enterprise:
- Fixed : OCCT Command-line would error out when loading its config file and revert to the default values
New in OCCT 11.0.17 (Nov 14, 2022)
- Vram:
- Fixed : The memory available for testing was reported as 1GB instead of its real value
New in OCCT 11.0.16 (Nov 10, 2022)
- Main:
- Fixed the upload issue - the previous fixes from 11.0.14 are now back in the main branch
- Main:
- Revamped the way OCCT is listing GPUs for better compatibility with ARC GPUs
- Cpu:
- Fixed : threads were competiting too much for a single resources, resulting in a loss of efficiency in high thread, small data set scenarios ( thanks Anders from Asetek ! )
- Report:
- Fixed : If a duration was exactly 00:00:00, the report would display it as "invalid duration" in the log
New in OCCT 11.0.15 (Nov 10, 2022)
- Main:
- Release 11.0.14 has a critical issue with uploading that will take time to diagnose. 11.0.13 has been relabeled as 11.0.15 to give me some time to diagnose the issue. Sorry !
New in OCCT 11.0.14 (Nov 10, 2022)
- Main:
- Revamped the way OCCT is listing GPUs for better compatibility with ARC GPUs
- Cpu:
- Fixed : threads were competiting too much for a single resources, resulting in a loss of efficiency in high thread, small data set scenarios ( thanks Anders from Asetek ! )
- Report:

- Fix : the test would refuse to start on a second GPU if it wasn't launch on the first GPU at least once ( Thanks PCSpecialist & Devin Hartley ! )
New in OCCT 11.0.12 (Sep 4, 2022)
- OCCT now creates a file named "LastMonitoringValues.json" in its temp folder which will always contains the latest sensor information ( Values, minimum, maximum...)
- Fixed : The enterprise report would not properly display the total amount of memory available
- Fixed : Saving the report now doesn't hang the GUI, and the cursor will be in a waiting state, as this process can last quite a while. A better fix will be coming later on, with, ideally, a progress bar.
New in OCCT 11.0.11 (Aug 3, 2022)
- Fixed : a regression caused the csv file only to contain enabled sensors. It will now contain all sensors regardless if they're enabled or not, as intended.
New in OCCT 11.0.10 (Aug 1, 2022)
- Gpu3DAdaptive:
- Fixed : when chaining several periods of 3D adaptive running on several GPUs, the test would be wrongly flagged as crashed
- Tentative fix : wrong GPU order was used when several GPUs are present and tested at once
- When no GPU is selected and the system has several, only the first one will be used (instead of all of them)
New in OCCT 11.0.9 (Jun 25, 2022)
- Memory:
- Fixed : on CPUs with E and P-cores, all the threads of the Memory test were assigned to E-cores for an unknown reason. Their affinity is now fixed to get around that issue.
- Pro:
- Fixed : in case there was a LOT of lines in the report, OCCT would fail to generate the report. The report is now limited to 13000 pixels (which is already quite something)
- Enterprise:
- Fixed : the status was wrongly set in the JSON file following 11.0.8 fixes
- Fixed : the date and times were not properly displayed in logs if they were above 24 hours.
- "test" is now the default verb if you don't specify one
New in OCCT 11.0.8 (Jun 16, 2022)
- Enterprise:
- Fixed : when the report was saved on a slow drive, there was a chance that the saving was interrupted before being fully completed

- Enterprise:
- Fixed : Gpu Standard settings were not properly loaded and saved in schedules
- Translation:
- Fixed : Ukrainian and Russian translations text wrapping ( Thanks Serhii ! )
New in OCCT 11.0.5 (Jun 8, 2022)
- Fixed : in Windows Audit mode, Physical GPUs were considered Virtual, due to DirectX not populating properly its registry values. This is now handled correctly. Thanks Victor !

- Fixed : the command line edition would skip the prerequisite copy step if the GUI edition was never run on that computer
New in OCCT 11.0.0 (May 31, 2022)
- Main:
- Rewrote and optimized OCCT's core scheduler
- Every test (but linpack) now detect if the GUI has crashed and stops accordingly

- Ui:
- Sliders can now be controlled using up and down on your keyboard for precise selection
- Lots of updates and minor bugfixes
- Gpu3DAdaptive:
- Introducing the revolutionary 3D test, based on Unreal engine, with dynamic load options !
- Gpu3DAdaptive:
- Introducing Variable mode, where the load will gradually increase from a set value to another, at a rate you specify. Test your whole GPU Curve with a single click !
- Introducing Switch mode, where the load will switch very fast between two set values. Perfect for generating transient loads !
- Benchmark:
- Added a retry button in case the upload fails
- StabilityCertificate:
- Introducing Stability certificates, allowing you to test your components using a predefined test, and share your report online to prove your computer is stable. GPU and System stability certificates will come later !
- Available for CPU & Memory at first, in Bronze / Silver / Gold / Platinum levels
- The number of slots per license is limited ( each report consumes a slot). The number of slots depends on your license, and Patreon sub level. I had to do this as a single certificate can be heavy, and storing that data is costly sadly.
- You can manage the slots in your account menu
- Enterprise:
- Added verbs to the command-line options of OCCT GUI & Command line ( use --help for more info )
- Greatly updated the report - it is now much closer to the stability certificate display of my website

New in OCCT 10.1.7 (Apr 29, 2022)
- Main:
- Minor bugfixes
- Monitoring:
- Fixed : without a license, if this part of OCCT was left open, the popups would pile up and you had to wait and click X popups. Now, only one of them will be displayed.
- Cpu:
- Only the first core will be checked by default instead of every core. This part of the UI screams for clarification.

- Test processes should now end all the time when the main GUI is closed during a test
- Avoided a rare case where a test would be reported as "in error" and immediatly reported as "testing", even if stopped (the error and graphs were correctly generated though). THe status label was updated one extra time. Occured very rarely.
- Translation :
- Added Romanian, Russian and Japanese translations
