Bitcoin Core v31.0 VS2022 builds: smooth sailing or instant brick?

[Halynochka]

Anyone messed around with the v31.0 builds on VS2022 yet? I’m debating upgrading my setup but I’m paranoid about bricking my node. Post your results—did it run smooth or crash and burn?

I've been using the VS2022 builds on Win10 with no issues so far, running multiple nodes with around 100GB of data. Only thing I've noticed is increased CPU usage on my Ryzen 5800X, but that's expected with the newer version. Maybe someone with a weaker rig can chime in and see if they're experiencing any bricking issues.

I'm running v31.0 on my Win10 machine and haven't experienced any issues yet, but I do have to admit I'm using the pre-built installer from bitnodes.io. If you're using a custom build from VS2022, you might want to double-check your dependencies and compilation flags, it could be a configuration problem.

I've had no issues with v31.0 on VS2022 on Win10, even with the wallet functionality, but I did have to add the necessary dependencies manually in the project settings. Make sure to also link against the correct libraries, otherwise you might run into linker errors. Also, if you're using Docker, you might need to re-generate the image after installing the new version.

I've been running the VS2022 build of Bitcoin Core v31.0 for a week now and havent seen any major issues, just the usual minor glitches that get ironed out in the first few days. Overall it's been a pretty smooth upgrade from v30. My node sync time was a bit slower than expected but that's about it.

I just upgraded to VS2022 builds and so far so good, no issues with my node syncing. Been running for a few hours now and everything looks stable, but I'll keep an eye on it. Has anyone else noticed any perf improvements with the new build?

Finally got around to compiling on VS2022 and no issues at all. Runs like a charm, definitely not a brick for me.

Been using the v31.0 VS2022 builds on my Windows 10 rig for a week now and haven't encountered any issues, but that's not to say I'm using it for anything extreme like mining. The GUI seems a bit more responsive than the older version, but that's just my opinion. Anyone else out there running these builds successfully with a mining setup?

Compiled mine this morning and it’s running buttery smooth, no hiccups yet. Still, I’m keeping a cold backup handy just in case this thing decides to brick during reindex.

Been running the VS2022 build on my main rig for a few days and it’s been smooth sailing, no bricks yet. Just make sure you back up your wallet.dat before you switch, can’t be too safe. Anyone else noticing the sync feels a bit snappier or is it just placebo?

Ran the build this morning and it’s surprisingly smooth, no bricking here. Just make sure your Boost libs are up to date or you’ll be debugging for a hot minute.

Been running the v31.0 VS2022 build since yesterday and it’s been buttery smooth, no crashes at all. Sync speed feels snappier too. You're good to update.

I've installed the VS2022 build on my machine and it's been humming along fine so far. Ran a stress test for a few hours and didn't notice any issues. Just make sure you're using the latest Windows SDK and everything should be good to go.
