Help? Problem with Meridian Modular Asteroid Mining Tunnels

Haddixx

I'm having trouble with the Meridian Modular Asteroid Mining Tunnels and wondering if anyone else if having the problem.  It crashes Daz everytime I try a render.  Doing some troubleshooting it appears to be the floor of the set that causes the crash.  I haven't tried every piece in the set but if I load "Aeridian AMT - Straight Tunnel with Columns" and hide the "Tunnel Floor" it renders fine.  Add the "Tunnel Floor" back in and crash.  I'm running Daz 4.12.1.76 on a OSX (64bit) on a 2018 Macbook Pro.  I'm wondering if this is a Mac problem or a Daz problem.  Anyone else have this problem?  Nothing shows up in the logs to give me any clue, below is a snippet with the restart after the crash at the bottom.  Any thoughts?  Is this worthy of a problem ticket?

FYI, I looked on the DAZ website and saw the FAQ to clear the DS and DSON cache if Daz Studio is crashing when rendering.  I tried that with no luck.

There is a known issue with the Beta that affects the Muelsfell Mulitlayer Shader as well as several other custom shaders.  Internally we have a version that has fixed this issue, but I can't say when it will go live.  Hopefully very soon.

Meanwhile you can either swap out the multilayer shader on the terrain for a standard Iray one, or use the live version of DS instead of the beta.  Sorry for the inconvenience, but that is what the beta is for -- to test for problems.

Got it!  Thank you so much.  Glad to hear a fix is in the works.  Appreciate the quick response.
