Dear Murpholino,
Although other factors may be involved, your observations may
have something to do with the fact that you are using the 20250409
build of XDS, about which we sent the following message to all users
of autoPROC yesterday:
==
Dear all,
we've now had a chance to run more tests on the current 20250409 XDS
binary: the autoPROC website at
https://www.globalphasing.com/autoproc/wiki/index.cgi?ComparisonProcessing202504
contains the Wilson plots for the same set of PDB examples used
before. You will see the effect of the different XDS binaries and why
we currently recommend the 20230630 XDS binary (or the 20250327 one)
over others or the 20250409 one, as many of the latter show physically
implausible features in their Wilson plots. Our previous findings were
communicated to Wolfgang Kabsch and we expect an updated/fixed version
soon.
Kind regards
The autoPROC developers
==
All our observations point towards the recurrence in this binary
of a problem similar to an earlier one (encountered in previous builds
but eliminated in the 20250327 build) that led to spurious positive
biases in the integrated intensities and in the I/sigI values. Yours
seem to be concordant with ours, so you could try and see what happens
if you use 20250327.
If you are interested in the full story of our assessment of
previous XDS versions, you might want to take a look at

With best wishes,
Gerard.
