    All of my files that I have downloaded with DIM are all zip files until today there are alot of files that just say DSX and are 1 KB which alot of them are old files that I downloaded long ago but are dated today ...I think DIM has a serious problem beyond the Download failed message

    Those DSX files are supposed to be there, there's one included with each zip.   They're used for checking for product updates and are all being updated every time you check online.  So there's no problem here.

    I am just wondering why the accompanying zip file is no longer there,  I searched through the folder and they are gone which is strange as they are old files unless I just missed them ?  plus I have nothing installed in DS as I recently uninstalled everything to redo my setup.

    Anything on the Ready to Install tab?

    Only the 4 I listed as failed downloads and some updates for DS beta and DS 4.12, I also checked any I had hidden and they do not correspond with any of the dsx files I have .... so strange!

    Well my DIM won't even open now. Tried the past fifteen minutes. I can only get to the sign in page, then nothing.

    Tried to shut down and restart mine, everything seems to work fine.  I think we can expect some periodic temporary downtime when they are trying to fix it, as long as there still are people with problems.

    Maybe your DIM was set to delete zips after install at one point?

    You could try to delete all the dsx files, maybe it thinks the zips also are there when they are there.  (what I mean maybe it won't download zips it thinks already are there).

    I've just lost another £20 trying to order through Paypal. What a joke!

    Yeah, I look at it as a good sign. This happened a few days ago when quite a few of us had nothing to show in the download column, then I got shut out and voila everything worked. There's got to be down time when things are tweaked. :)  But I OUTSMARTED IT. When it was up half an hour ago, I got most the new products to my external harddrive, for my copy, then also selected the ones I wanted and installed them. So I can putz while I wait. 

    Just wanted to say a special thanks to the moderators on a Saturday who are working their hinies off reporting all this. :)

    The quote system seems a bit wonky, that was not my post.indecision

    Edit: @Novica - I do share the sentiment towards the moderators.

    That big white furry thing wink in your avatar looks like a watchdog...

    Edit: something is wrong with quoting. Look what it did to mine! Novica, you have many aliases!

    @barbult  Well I just figured Ci Pwff wanted to play with watchdog79's avatar. I would suggest your avatar sit that play session out. Pwff loves to chase birds!  And so far as being a watchdog- he's just a tripping hazard for any burglars. 

    Yeah, that's some funky quoting. Don't tell me the forums are going wonky now too!

    I would love to see your, erm... Puppy Dog (according to Google translator) as a store product. Then we could make that scene happen.smiley

    And now we're back to yesterday's sale page. The same thing happened a couple of days ago, and it never came back.

  • NovicaNovica Posts: 23,925

    @watchdog79  LOL well Google doesn't do Welsh very well. It means literally Dog (Ci) Puff  (Pwff) but like Spanish, the way it's translated is Puff Dog or Puffy Dog. I think that's right, Chohole is the expert on that language. :)   I would love to have a Samoyed as a store product, to add to the dog breeds.

    DIM still not coming up, so they must be working on it. 

  • evacynevacyn Posts: 989

    Well, my brief moment where things appeared in DIM's 'Ready for Download' pane (and would promptly crash) is over, and now I'm back to having none of my downloads showing. 

    Really hoping this works soon...

    Adding Interactive License to any owned product is still not getting the discount, so for DAZ Originals $50 or $35 or $10 in the cart instead of $5 as it should be.

     

  • My "special gift" coupon isn't very special...it doesn't work. "Coupon code is not valid." Guess I'll have to pass on getting the Genesis 3 bundle I liked. sad

    And my saved credit card info doesn't work either, though PayPal still does.

    Regardless of my personal frustrations, thanks to those who are working to get this sorted.

  • maikdeckermaikdecker Posts: 3,037

    Utterly frustrating to have to each item of my wishlist in the FotS - if the wishlist button appears in my browser - because no price reduction whatsoever are shown, with % off being anywhere between 0 and 80%

    Please, get that stuff going... Even the election seems to have ended already...

    I haven't seen the giant or any thumbnails

    I tried it is just not happening in my DIM and never has

    You have to download them yourself, right click on file in DIM, select Retrieve Thumbnail

    yes done
    and that is soo cool

    Did you use it yesterday, by any chance? In Dazlandia, "all weekend" actually means "the one day you use the coupon because we're not gonna reset it," so if you used it yesterday then you're SOL for the remaining days.

    Otherwise, try refreshing the cart a bunch of times. That's what it was taking at the start for some people to get it to work. No guarantees, I just woke up and have no idea what chaos the site is in right now, but if your bundle is from the selection Daz provided it could be worth a try.

    If your saved credit card info exists from before the changeover, try deleting it from your Payment Methods and then adding it again at checkout.

    Yes, same with all the other codes. I did hope that they change this after the CAIRO-GIFTS marketing disaster. Some people live and learn. Some only live....

    I hope I am not repeating something already mentioned as a known issue, but has anyone else noticed that some Product Library items point to the wrong products?

    I purchased the Ballet Poses for G8M and they point to Lucie Character for Poser. (see image attached)

    Did you already use it yesterday? It works only once.

    Also, coupons are now case sensitive, so make sure the case is correct.

    Bingo. All coupons are one use for the entire weekend, when they really should be giving us new ones each day, promising an all-PFAD from the entire festival at $1.99 catch-up sale (I know I missed out on a few because they decided to update the site during what was supposed to be the catch-up sale, which was subsequently broken for the duration), and pretty much groveling and doing everything they can to restore good will. Free bundles and major discounts on a few items every day, plus a significant extension of PC+ memberships for every single day ours have not worked properly, would be a reasonable start.

    I brought up CAIRO-GIFTS specifically in the other thread, like... that wasn't that far in the past, it can't possibly have slipped out of the marketing department's memory already. Then again, there were never really any consequences for that apart from people being really angry on the forums, and Daz doesn't bother reading the forums.

    If ignorance is bliss, incompetence and ignorance together must be nirvanic

     

    Anyway, for those having coupon problems: If you used them yesterday, they won't work today. Daz meant one use for the entire duration that they advertise the coupon, not one use per day.

    For those who were worried about getting their Gift Card Codes:

    Even if for some reason you don't get an e-mail with the code, all customers can now go to:
    My Account  > Orders > pull up your order > find code here

    To get their code from their accounts. heart

    the code promo to get a "free" genesis 3 or 2 pro bundle with 2 new stuffs is not working for me also neither the "start bundle it's giving a error, neither code is working

     

    also still waiting for a fix for the "interactive license" which was only partially fixed, while it's working for "single stuffs without a "bundle" for bundle stuffs it's still bugged, you only have the license marked in the bundle when you check the products inside the bundle it's not "marked".

    No, I tried using it this afternoon. Tried refreshing innumerable times. Tried changing the hyphen to an underscore. Just says it's invalid.

    No, only used it this afternoon. Copied/pasted it from the site notice. EDIT: Pasted it "as is" and also as plain text. Also tried typing it in. frown
