I have tried twice to down load 14812_ Genesis Starter Essentials1.6. It will not finish the download. Has anyone else had this problem? The version of DS4 I have now has been the most stable since I have been using Daz. Is this a sign that I should wait for the bugs to get worked out of this update?

Did you clear your browser cache between download attempts.

No. Do I need to?

Yes, if you have a failed or uncompleted download in your cache, any subsequent download attempts will fail at around the same place.

So close your browser, clear your cache before trying again. If you don’t you will just get failed download after failed download.

Thanks, that seems to be working.

Well it started out like it was working then slowed to no speed. It looks like it has expired and I don’t see it in my Itemized Order History. Could there be a connection?

Reset the whole DS 4.5 in your order history.

...so is this still a Beta or a full stable update release?

4.5.1.6 was the last stable release…

Supposedly “stable”.  DAZ3d has a habit of rushing out it’s flagship software 98% complete/fixed & has be doing that since at least version 2.

Name one major software product, in the last ten years, that the ‘gold’/stable/actual release isn’t really a beta in disguise?

I"ve found more ‘usable’/less buggy ‘alpha releases’ in Linux software than some paid for Windows ‘final release version’ software…

Windows 8 has already had 2 updates.

...think I’ll stick with the current version of 4.5 that i have installed.

Still smarting from all the hits I took with 3Advancved.

Glad I’m still using DS 4.0whatever. Maybe in a year or two, 4.5 will actually be ready for prime time and mostly bug free.  

Maybe.

The thing I’m seeing…one of the most common features of those complaining about 4.5 not working…32 bit systems.  4.5 is just at the edge of being able to be run under a 32 bit OS…and in some cases over it. 

Time to face it, folks, 32 bit is DEAD.  Upgrade to 64 bit and save yourself a host of headaches, because I seriously doubt that DS is the only piece of software, if upgraded to the latest version, that is giving you one.  Software has progressed beyond 32 bit, it’s time to make your hardware do so, too.  All major software and many games are 64 bit.
