Invalid data file: Unable to parse the datafile

When this happens with Aquamark and GPUPi, and until it is fixed, here is a workaround:

 

Aquamark:

Disable "System Info" before running the benchmark:

 

 

GPUPi:

Skip CPU and GPU detection when saving the file or submitting:

so when do you save a file with it will it eventually work even if it doesnt now?

Just skip detection.

If the detection is saved within the file, there is no way to undo this without having the private key to decrypt the data. And HWBOT will hate you for submitting CPUs or GPUs that can not 100% be matched with the database, and therefor neclect you like you never ever benched a single system.

 

It's a dangerous game, so when benching new or strange hardware better skip the detection.

When it comes to Aquamark also make sure that your Shell Folders paths (mainly My Documents) do not contain any Unicode characters.
