Duplicate formulas found in files message

shadowhawk1

As the title says I am getting a duplicate formulas error when I try to laod G3. it doesn't interfere with using G3 as far as I can see but it does lock up Studio for about a minute and 45 seconds and causes Studio to ghost out like its getting ready to crash before giving me the error.

"Duplicate formulas found in files. Make sure that the content is properly installed. See the log file for more details."

This started after I tried to install Darkhounds program to transfer morphs from V4/G2 to G3. I removed the folder from the data file but I am still getting the error. I opened the log file and this is the tail end of the log.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated in resolving this issue.

I'd say your problem lays in the Anain&Akasha product that includes those nails listed in your log. Try finding which exact product that is and remove it, then try reinstalling it to see if you're getting the same error.

I am just curious as to why this didn't show up until after I installed the morph converter program though? I removed the folder as a test and that stopped that error but there are other errors that I now need to figure out such as some of the expressions are no longer showing up. Going to redownload G3 and reinstall the starter essentials and see if that fixes the issue.

Sometimes log will list the errors but won't give you a visible warning in a popup, I never figured out by what logic some popups show and some don't. It also could be that by installing/uninstalling different products it affected some of those existing ones in your data folder, but clean install can best tell if product is actually corrupted or not. You could submit a ticket and see if tech support can give you a more specific answer to behavior of your DS, but most the time I just take it as hit or miss and avoid products that give me any kinds of errors, especially on Genesis base(s).

That is a good idea ... I also found another error with a character I purchased at a different site and installed at the same time bot characters are causing the error to pop up but when I remove their folders the errors stop. Guess I will have to see if I can get a refund or report the errors to the other sites vendor.

Thanks for the assistance I had been fighting this for the last couple of hours and completely missed the obvious.
