VASP team,

I am running a GW calculation following the two-step procedure with VASP6. I have noticed that when I increase NBANDS I start to see the following message in my standard output:
The only input that I am changing from one calculation to another is NBANDS, so I am unsure why this occurs when NBANDS is large. Do you have any insight as to what might be going on? Thanks!

Hi,

This is nothing to worry about. Maybe mentioning VASP.5.3 was not the best choice for the output, but in principle, that should occur whenever a WAVECAR is read. Probably changing NBANDS changes if additional bands are initialized, which leads to a slightly different code path. Is that good enough? Or shall I investigate what exactly happens in your calculation? For the latter, please upload a small reproducer.

That is good enough for me, thanks!

Great All the best for your calculation.
