So, i was checking the error log and I came accross this error:
2019-05-17 00:08:03.823 WARNING: fileinput\dzassetdaz.cpp(7814): Could not find reference: Genesis8Female:/data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%208/Female/Morphs/3D%20Universe/G8F/ctrlMouthOH.dsf#ctrlMouthOH?value
2019-05-17 00:08:03.823 WARNING: fileinput\dzassetdaz.cpp(1447): Failed to create alias!
I don't have the faintest clue where this reference is coming from though. I can't find anything anywhere about this dsf, not even what product/item might contain it.
Any Ideas?

This is the error from the 4.11 beta log:

It says 3D Universe - do you have any Genesis 8 Female products from 3D Universe?
Yes, but none of them have that dsf. I can't even find what product or item is calling that reference.
I think it is some product that has a corrective morph, or something, that is set up to use the one it can't find, but it doesn't matter, you don't have it. Many products have "supported shapes" for base characters or other products with morphs. If you don't have those specific products, the references cannot be resolved, but they will never be used if you don't have the product that uses them in the first place, so no harm to your system.
I had exactly same error WARNING: fileinput\dzassetdaz.cpp(7814): Could not find reference: Genesis8Female:/data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%208/Female/Morphs/3D%20Universe/G8F/ctrlMouthOH.dsf#ctrlMouthOH?value
and had been trying to cure it for a while. Eventually cleared it. I did two things don't know which one worked.
First I deleted all 3D Universe characters from my People Genesis 8 characters folder and also deleted all 3D Universe from the My Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs\3D Universe
strangely in the Data folder I did not have a G8F folder.
The Second thing I did that might well have been the cure was I re installed the Genesis 8 Female Head and Body morphs.
I was hoping that this would have speeded up the loading of my Genesis 8 but she still takes just over 2 mins to get ready - women :)
As I said, these warnings (not errors per se) are harmless, there's no need to go to great lengths trying to resolve them.
i'm seeing zillion duplicate fprmu;a errors for ly_briallen
Harmless or not they do show a large flaw is Studio's design, or more specific the CMS.
The problem is usually corrupt or badly done metadata, add the CMS which is a thick as a brick big brother system, and you have Studio being forced to try and load crap that doesn't exist where it's being told to look for it.
These messages have nothing to do with the CMS. There's a link in the .dsf file saying link with property X (ERC links get saved with either the controller property or the sub-component) and property X is not present (the .dsf file is not installed). The warnings may be useful for a content creator troubleshooting, so they shouldn't be suppressed, but they can be ignored by general users.
The warning i get alot is
2019-05-18 19:31:06.473 *** Scene Cleared ***

I always asumed it had to do with old 3dl sss maps or texture profiles because of the SRGB profile . but when ever I have a crash when i am rendeingr its always these last warning messages that are the last thing recorded in the log .
It's irrelevant to pretty much anything - it's just a message from the image handling library about the PNG thumbnails etc. It has, I think, been suppressed in recent builds of DS.
The point isn't whether or not the warning is harmless, it's to identify the source of the warning. Up till now, I've been able to identify where almost every warning I've come across is coming from, and solved the issue causing the warning. This is the first time I've gotten a warning message that so far isn't solvable.
OK, found it and fixed it. 3DU's Paige character, the alias_head_ectrl_3dug8fpaigemouthah.dsf file had an incorrectly set target channel.
how do you fix a target channel? thanks!
You have to decompress the dsf file, then find the "target_channel" line.
In this case, I changed the entry for "target_channel" from this: "Genesis8Female:/data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%208/Female/Morphs/3D%20Universe/G8F/ctrlMouthOH.dsf#ctrlMouthOH?value" to this:
"Genesis8Female:/data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%208/Female/Morphs/3D%20Universe/G8FPaige/eCTRL_3duG8FPaigeMouthAH.dsf#eCTRL_3duG8FPaigeMouthAH?value".
Thanks a lot for the explanation and the fix.
I also get similar warnings and hope to fix them at some point.
Good to see, that not only I have such problems.
For now, I have just uninstalled LY Briallen, but hope to fix it later on.
I posted the fix for LY Briallen here: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/301656/domino-hd-for-g3-g8-load-errors#latest
similar errors too if anyone can help me,thanks in advance.errors just started like 2 days ago nothing new installed
You can still get the error messages if you're using an asset you haven't used before.
