DAZ to Blender bridge installed via DIM but not available in DAZ Studio 6

The title says it all really.

I've tried using DAZ Studio 4.24 for this but it crashes ever since I've been using DAZ Studio 6.

I've tried asking DAZ Studio 6 AI chat about it but it's quite bad imo.

I've tried asking GPT-5 but it's leading me on a wild goose chase (yet again I might add).

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks.

    Was wondering when someone would ask as DAZ didn't update the bridges for DS6. The bridges need to be recompiled with the new SDK, at minimum, probably need some modifications too. What you can do is retrieve a older version based on script, without the plugin, and see if that works, but again it's likely it needs to be updated.

    Or use diffeomorphic.

    Thanks Padone. I think what I'd rather do is go back to using DS 4.24 for the DAZ to Blender bridge. Does anyone know why DS 6 causes DS 4.x to stop working? It crashes every time I try to run it now. Do I really have to uninstall DS 6 and maybe reinstall DS 4.24 to get it to work again?

    Cheers.

    Edit: I uninstalled DS 6 in DIM, then DIM crashed, so I restarted and uninstalled DIM, restarted and installed DIM, uninstalled DS 4.24 in DIM, restarted and installed DS 4.24 in DIM. It all seems to work fine now and the DAZ to Blender bridge appears in the File - Send to... menu.

    There's a bunch of users having troubles installing or uninstalling DS6, never heard of it crashing DS4 that's new, they should be able to run together from what DAZ tells us. Personally I don't have a 50xx card so no reason to get through the trouble.

    I have DS4 general release, DS4 beta, DS6 beta and DS6 general release installed on my system and there is absolutely no problem running them all. I don't kow why OP had a problem with DS4 but they are all separate installs and normally don't interfere with each other.

    Are you getting any errors when this is happening? Can you post your log file in a txt document and attach it to a post?

    Yeah, I don't know why but they don't seem to be good bedfellows on my PC. I'm using an RTX 3080 Ti by the way and DS6 works well, apart from the bridge thing.

    Maybe I should uninstall and reinstall everything DAZ 3D by now.

    To do that I'd need to reinstall DS6 to recreate the error, but I'll do that soon and post the log file. Thanks.

    Edit: I just reinstalled DS6 and both DS6 and DS4 work now. It must be since I reinstalled DIM before that.
