As far as the Decimator discussion goes, I think if you had BOUGHT DS Pro, then the decimator came with it. If you got the free version, it did not.
I’ve just bought Decimator and ordered the update, though the downloads for same are mysteriously unavailable.
I’m gonna try to update and hope for the best… thanks y’all, and thank you in advance for the fix.
The code for Decimator is built into DS4.5, but you need a paid serial number to activate it. So you don’t need to install anything, just plug in the serial. Same for Animate2, although in that case you get a 30-day trial.
Well, I upgraded from DS 4 to DS 4.5 and now my genx plug-in no longer works. Any ideas to fix it? I hope they don’t expect me to just roll over and buy it again. I only had it for about 5 or 6 months.
I heard that there was an issue with duplicate file something and you, basically, had to reinstall everything from scratch so I wasn’t upgrading because of that. Been scared to do it too since I, finally, seem to have a fairly stable version of DS after years of it being more problematic than not.

This only affected .dsf content. It had nothing to do with other “legacy” content. Only those items installed as .dsf files prior to the bug being found would need to be re-installed. For most people, that was only a few things.
DUF dosen’t save hair (auto follow) morphs right
When loading old daz files I have issues fairly regularly. ANd when saving as DUF I get different issues. certain clothing items don’t load/render, entire characters don’t load(but are shown in the scene tab), characters get ripped to pieces, props load in the wrong places
I have a LOT of items that get duplicate id warnings. I’ve been using the script to fix as I go, but it’s far more than a “few” items
When I save not sure why I have to always pick a file name, what a waste of time.
But overall things are good, the improved autofit and improved speed of saving files is appreciated. Being able to work with a duf file on a different computer than the one that created it is also very useful.

Exploded characters in .duf files can be fixed by saving the .duf file again. I understand that the current beta (.137) fixes some .du problems, but I haven’t tried it yet.

It’s a lot of Genesis clothing and hair that was released before March 2012. There’s a link in my .sig to Jay_NOLA’s thread with current version numbers for Genesis items. I’ve been updating since March, so it’s been gradual for me.

GO to Edit > Preferences and put in something for the author identification—you don’t have to put in everything. They put that in to prevent people from accidentally overwriting purchased items, but if the author stuff is blank it makes you do that for everything.

The thing is that that is everything I have installed. So that would be quite a few things. So I am still wondering how much I would have to reinstall. The last year and a few months of content would be painful to reinstall.

Only reinstall the “bad” content as you encounter it. I doubt that you’ll be using everything in your runtime in the same scenes.
No but that means I have to re-download it when I am in the middle of doing something and that is kind of frustrating. Plus I am just wondering how bad a problem it is.

Depends on the user I would say. Some say its really small but I know it’s hit me a lot more often then others have stated. But as someone mentioned its in content created before a certain date, I guess I just happen to have a lot of that…

Hey Ghost,
When the “Duplicate Formulas Found” window pops up simply click “Ok” and continue with what you are doing. That’s it. Everything will still work as it should. Redownload whenever you have time.
I agree with Coldrake. People panic when they see this pop-up but don’t realise that nothing is wrong so they go out and re-download everything.The content still works perfectly fine. Only re-download content that gives issues or do not appear.
