Can I suggest that one of you with crash problem,s starts a bug report, if you haven’t, and posts the link here so that the others can add their system details (assuming that it sounds like the same kind of crash)? I have a weaker system and am not getting crashes, so far, so it’s probably going to turn out to be some subtle difference that’s triggering it.

By broken texture maps do you mean Studio cannot find them?

...Studio4 finds them OK, it just doesn’t’ apply them to the figure properly. I am using the Tindra Thompson MAT, as it is the only one I have with a freckled texture.  I tried fixing through the Surfaces tab, I zeroed out the texture and then tried to apply it again, nothing worked.  Even the default texture for the base figure (Steph4) wouldn’t load right.  I have the entire character (Steph4) selected in the scene tab when I try to reset the MAT so it should work just like it does in Studio3A.

I’m not even using Genesis or any of the body shapes for Genesis, just the normal Gen4 figures so I don’t understand why the texture keeps getting messed up.  The only MATs that I can get to load correctly are the standard V4 ones.

That is weird because S4 uses v4 UV.

Which version of DS was the scene file saved from? I doubt it would be old enough to be corrupting its uv maps, but that is what it sounds like.

....3.1.2.32 (the final update to 3A before 4 was rolled out).

In my case, I have 24GB of RAM memory, so hard to say is running out of memory.  And the crashes happens not only in rendering, but sometimes during the posing or even when starting the program.

Thanks for the heads up about the DS 4.5 crashes. Another good reason for me not to upgrade until the bugs are worked out. 

Btw, I wish I had 24GB of RAM. I’m jealous.

KK, switch the view to UV Layout and see how the surfaces look there. Compare with the same in DS3.

...would that be the “Wireframe” or Lit Wireframe” view?

No, there should be an entry fro UV View at the bottom of the list.

He’s talking about the list where you’ll usually see “Perspective”, “Camera 1”, “Left”, “Front”, etc.

...found it.  It is in the Camera View pull down.

However, when I click it all I get is a blank white viewport.

You must make sure you have a surface selected when using the UV view, otherwise DS doesn’t know which UV to show you.

...so I need to go into the surfaces, not the scene tab then.

——-

OK that really didn’t help as I didn’t see any difference in the UVs with nd without the Tindra MAT loaded.  Just focused on the head and face as the full body UV was impossible to look at.

Maybe a SS of what I am seeing (just of the face & head) may help.

You clearly have the Eyes texture applied to the face, why it happened I cannot say.

...I’m totally stymied as I selected the full Steph4 figure in both 3A and in 4 when I applied the MAT.

This has to be an issue with how Studio4 handles older custom texture MATs
