Updated Metadata- Now getting duplicate formula errors

kirbawirba

So I changed my login preferences to update metadata automatically and now I'm getting duplicate formula errors on every figure I load in.  Don't know if its coincidence as I also DL'd some newly installed characters, but its now a problem.

 

I've looked through the forums and have found fixes for older versions of Daz, and some things that seemed to help for Gen 1 figures, but, it doesn't seem to help with Gen 9 characters, and some even warn about applying the fix suggested to anything newer.

 

Its only happening when loading a Gen 9.  Gen 2-8.1 male/female is not affected.

 

Any help would be appreciated

Update Metadata does nothng to the actual content, t wll just let DS know abaout products you own but don't have installed and may also chnage thngs lke categories on content - but nothng about the insidies of the files. Duplicate Formulas s very much an nternals of the fles thiing, usually a name conflict between two different products. Help>Troubleshooting>View Log Fle should tell you which files are in cconflict.

There are now multiple files that seem to be duplicated, some from older things already downloaded a long time ago, and they are morphs, some just for body parts, some for eyelashes, and almost all are from characters that aren't even made by the same PA. What's the safest way to reconcile the duplicates, considering some are from the generic Gen 9 morphs? Also, why did they just now start duplicating? Is there a way to avoid this in the future?  Its never happened to me before.

Is that from the log fle? The issue is duplicate formulas (a formula is a link between two properties, such as a full character preset and the component head and body morphs) and if there are name conflicts two sets of properties can have the same link X to Y instruction, whiich causes the error. Open the log file and search for duplicate.

I just saw from the log that multiple things were duplicated.  I uninstalled MB's Reanne, which I purchased right before the error started, and now the error is gone. Looks like that was the problem. Can I just try to reinstall her, or does MB need to fix something in the files themselves to prevent this from happening?

Re-installing the product won't help... the issue will persists. You can fix the DSF file in data folder yourself... but better fill a support ticket in here: https://bugs.daz3d.com

Awesome! Thanks for the link!

As an update, the issue in question had to do with Reann by MB. Uninstalling the model fixed the problem. The bug has been reported, verified, and is now being forwarded. Hopefully, the issue will be resolved. Reann is amazing, and I hope to have her working properly soon!
