Degraded fixes

I think most people are having an issue with salad saying its degraded, it could be because of the 1.1.4 version. If you tried the things below then i dont think you can do anything else other than waiting for salad to fix it.

  • Make sure you have supported hardware, and disable the unsupported gpu/cpu. Igpus (integraded gpus) are NOT supported. If youre not sure, send a screenshot of the performance tab from salad.
  • Restart salad
  • Make sure salad is whitelisted in your antivirus(es) [https://support.salad.com/category/30-anti-virus]
  • Try restarting the saladbowl service. First close salad, Task manager > Services > SaladBowl > Right click > Restart. Wait 10~ seconds before opening salad.
  • Restart pc
  • Reinstall salad

If nothing works it could be a bug, or you can just ignore it.

go to the performance tab, scroll down to resource preferences, and disable gpu

great
now read this

this is a copy pasted message because way too many people have the same "problem"

If you dont have a supported gpu (usually happens to laptops, since they have igpus) the only way for you to earn is through cpu containers (and/or bandwidth sharing). The way containers work is kinda hard to explain, but for simplicity your cpu needs to get a job in order to earn. You cant do anything to get a job faster, you just have to wait. You will not earn if you dont have a job.
But unfortunately, you will most likely not get a cpu job very fast right now. While you cant estimate when you will get a job, some people have waited days for one. The pinned message in #community-support explains this.
You should also read this to learn how containers actually work: #community-support message
Obviously make sure you have containers set up. Click the profile picture on salad > settings > enable container environment.
