My DS is starting to freeze, it might be that I have installed something like I tried new drivers or something... Reinstalled them now, I think it is ok...

 

Anyway DS freezes when I load it and sometimes at start, sometimes when it is loaded and sometimes when I load scene or for example DAZ Horse 2... I will put error log file... and a screenshot for example of my last freeze (It says below: Power Pose Tool Loaded)...

 

Please help I really need to do some renders :) just missing working with DS, I hope I will not need to reinstall all on my lap top... Btw reinstalled DS with DIM and it improves things untile first new freeze, then it started work bad and freezes more often...

    A fair proportion of the starts are preceeded by database events, mostly failures, so my first suspicion would be a problem relating to the database or communication with the database. Of course last thing written to the log isn't necesarily the last thng DS did, but it is suggestive of a place to start looking.

    It all worked great before few days, I think I have installed new drivers for Nvidia Quadro M200M graphic card, that might have been older that I have used, I did another install yesterday to the latest that are on Nvidia site, if I did it good... And it started then I think... Problem is too that I can't uninstall DS anymore except by DIM, I will upload error message after installation failure...

     

    My DS program files are on C:/Program files/ and my Content files are on my G:\DS Art Works\ where I unpack them manualy... It all worked good for years... I save scene, for example Keep on the Borderlands conversion from old D&D module mostly done with this https://www.daz3d.com/castle-creator and later load it, pose it and render. I did 50 renders by now and now it just wont load anymore, it says 2 files are loaded ok but one is not... Also same thing happened with DAZ Horse 2 or Genesis 1 figure, it just froze...

     

    Problem is after it freezes it then start early freeze and does not pass inital load and freezes as post above at that picture and message Power Pose Tool Loaded... Here is another Screenshot after reinstall... But now it is frozen after load of program and I can't load anything, it is screen from poses I saved to navigate keep.

     

    Any help?

     

    Maybe something would change if I could do reinstall of older DS Versions, or maybe to delete files from DS folder and then try reinstalling. Problem is as I said that I can't do uninstall manually too.

    Have you tried loading other assets?

    Does the log say anything about the loading Help > Troubleshooting > View Log?

    I don't know, I have uploaded log here in first post, I think I will just reinstall Windows, I need to get it back up quick :)...

    It is working again... I deinstalled most of games and programs from my external drives... and it started working again... Probably there was some trouble with memory... I will check to see if it is ok next few days...

    If disc space was tight on the drive with the CMS database (the ContentCluster folder in CMS Settings) then that may have caused an issue

    Ok, thanks, just where it is located? Is it on C: or external HD? It seems it still have trouble, though I think it may be also my 4GB video card as I have lots of game clients loaded in memory and other similar things, It is probably because of it... I am returning my ProFantasy CC3+ Map files and other similar things that I have deinstalled :)... At least I did render for Keep, now I need to make DS work again as it worked before...

     

    Thanks for help...

    Edit>Preferences>CMS Settings will give the ContentCluster path, which does default to C: (in the user's AppData folder).

    Thank You very much Richard... It seems there was trouble with new Nvidia drivers and rendering, I have returned to older Nvidia Quadro M2000M drivers which are better and more stable for rendering which is surprising, and it seems new drivers are not optimal for relatively older lap top like mine :). Probably new drivers also used more memory then I have for renders too, and I fixed all it seems with reinstalling of older drivers and those are Nvidia 537.58-desktop-win10-win11-64bit-international-dch-whql

     

    Thanks again and sorry for too mcuh questioning.
