yes, this is a known issue with fastchess, which needs an update. One user reported upgrading the compiler help, but I'm not sure.

You can simply update MSYS2 to update the compiler.

If you have installed the worker with choco, download the installer and run the file 04_update_msys2_choco_admin.cmd https://github.com/ppigazzini/fishtest-worker-setup/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

If you have installed the worker with winget download the installer and run the file 04_update_msys2.cmd https://github.com/ppigazzini/fishtest-worker-setup/archive/refs/heads/winget.zip

Updating didn't work, but reinstalling fistest and worker did work.

Thank you

This is weird. This suggests that deleting the testing directory is what did the trick. I don't understand how that could make a difference in this case.

yea idk about the testing dir, maybe this helps ? idk https://github.com/Disservin/fastchess/pull/900

gcc 10 vs gcc 15. IMO the msys2 was so outdated that the packages signing keys were expired/rotated. In that case pacman -Syu fails silently without a keyring update with pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring
