Problem with futuremark.com

I can't get futuremark.com
http://service.futuremark.com/peacekeeper/results.action?key=1tki
by using KM 1.54 and KM 1.6a4.
I get a blank page only.
All my browsers (IE7, FF 3.64, FF 3.7a5, Iron 5.0.326) can do it without problem.
Any idea?
Thanks.

Futuremark.com is working.
I meant that Peacekeeper service doesn't work only.
Look at link in my first post.

I know what you meant. Peacekeeper works on KM 1.6 & 1.7 for me. Went through the test and everything. Interestingly, 1.7a got a higher score than 1.6a, so I'm guessing it's gecko related since 1.7a uses 1.9.2. The graphics(space flight) portion was noticably smoother in 1.7a on my PC.

KM 1.7a works for me on Peacekeeper page too.
But KM 1.54 and KM 1.6a4 - not. I tried differents User Agent with no results.
Puzzle!

@old navy,

Maybe try with new alpha stings. I managed to find some that worked. After initial observation like You. If You get one that is comparable measured You can IMHO calculate the rest.

Seems to work with a mixture of whitelist (wants a real browser name that it knows, did not accept KMlite name = Unknown browser) and keeps a has been measured already browser list.


Chrome 4.1.489.... / 1782 (used to compare my PC with the PCs already measured)
1.6.a4 / 1226
1.7.a1 / 1502
1.1.6 / 301 // maybe You can get an 1.1.4 or so string to work. grinning smiley
a. 1.5. / 318 // with GRE compiled to use mozcrt19.dll = slightly faster.
Pale Moon 3.6.3 / 1598

Pale Moon is a Firefox optimised for Windows - had to use another string to get it measured. Based on comparisons from the past I assume that a final K-Meleon 1.7 will be about 10 - 15% faster (when Dorian optimizes in the same way). smiling smiley

Thank you, guenter.
I have tried all your string suggestions, but, unfortunately, they didn't work for me with 1.54 and 1.6a4. Peacekeeper kicked it out.
To be honest it is not so important for me to test K-Meleon on this website. I wanted only to know why these release didn't work on Peacekeeper. About 3-4 months ago I could test KM 1.54 (or 1.53 I don't remember exactly) and know the results.
Thanks again.

Sorry to hear sad smiley

How about:

1.5.5a1 or 1.6.a5? Or the 1.1 to 1.1.5 strings. They later are real strings that could be used - guess nobody has ever measured the older K-Meleon versions. & You can use them as fake strings for Your 1.5.x and 1.6.x that do not work.
I hope so anyway.

p.s. It will gave me the values from another PC if I tried to measure with a string that was tested already or a value from another Unknown Browser when I used a fictive string that was in the white list.

Obviously the page has a bug - some of the values are CPU specific. It is not the same browser that is fastest on every system. Another browser with other compiler or code optimization can better adapted to some CPU.

So it idially should measure all requested browsers for each system.
If I remember right the page once did it that way?

@guenter,
1.5.5a1, 1.6.a5,1.1 to 1.1.5 strings don't work too. I found the list of all K-M strings beginning from v.0.7 to v.1.54 and tried many of them without any success.
I tried get into Peacekeeper test from my another OS - W2k SP4, from rigs of my grandsons - Dell Dimension 8200 (XP SP2) and homemade PC with P4 3.06 Ghz (XP SP2) using K-M 1.54 with the same results. This page don't want to accept KM at least up to version 1.7x.

Strange. Tested w/1.6a & 1.7a using default UA and no problems w/Peacekeeper. Didn't test w/1.5.x because I don't use it anymore. 1.6a is just as stable for me. WinXP SP3
