DAZ constantly crashing

in Daz Studio Discussion

One of my assets must be corrupted because DAZ is constantly crashing when trying to do an IRAY preview. It depends on what clothes I put on Gen 9 that causes it to crash. It wasn't doing it before so I think that its one of my assets thats corrupting DAZ. My character, when I pose it, get deformed becasue other character properties get mixed in. How do I problem solve this? How do I know which asset is corrupting DAZ? Do I start removing assets one by one until everything works? There has to be a way to figure it out, yes?

    Are the fans spinning? Have you checked temperatues, with something like GPU-Z or HW Monitor?

    not a computer problem. its a software issue. Characters work fine. Certiain clothes, hair and objects cause Daz to crash. as soon as I change the viewport from texture to NVidia. Daz disappears and a tiny window with "please wait" text and a tiny moving green bar on the bottom appears then I get a bigger window on the bottom with "Daz crashed..." see pic.

    I been using DAZ since 2014 or so. I sort of familiar with it and I know that sometimes I'll load a new asset which causes Daz problems. I usually unload it and Daz returns back to normal. However I've forgotten what is new and I have a bit of G9 content to delete and repload so I'm wondering how to troubleshoot Daz and find the culprit?

    I also recently returned to DAZ after several years, updated to DS6, and when I try to render get the same issue/crash. Never had this happen in the past; hoping there is some element of user error and rustiness that I can work out. (also apologies if this double posts).

    Click the More button, save the crash report, and attach it to a post.

    Your driver coulkd do with updating, you are curently limited to CPU rendering in which case your 32 GB of memory may be runing out, or theer may siomply be a bug/crash-triggering incompatibility:

    2026-08-06 14:54:43.845 [WARNING] :: \src\pluginsource\DzIrayRender\dzneuraymgr.cpp(418): Iray [WARNING] - CUDA:RENDER ::   0.0   CUDA   rend warn : CUDA module initialization failed.
    2026-08-06 14:54:43.845 [WARNING] :: \src\pluginsource\DzIrayRender\dzneuraymgr.cpp(418): Iray [WARNING] - CUDA:RENDER ::   0.0   CUDA   rend warn : The version of your CUDA driver is 12.5, but 12.9 is the required minimum
    2026-08-06 14:54:43.846 [WARNING] :: \src\pluginsource\DzIrayRender\dzneuraymgr.cpp(418): Iray [WARNING] - CUDA:RENDER ::   0.0   CUDA   rend warn : Please update your display driver (current version 555.97) (www.nvidia.com) to at least 576.02.

    the crash certainly appears to be driver related:

    <error>

    <what>ACCESS_VIOLATION</what>

    <process>

    <name>DAZStudio.exe</name>

    <id>10372</id>

    </process>

    <module>C:\WINDOWS\system32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nvam.inf_amd64_2de11fe4ede98697\nvcuda64.dll</module>

    <address>0033:00000000E9399D8B</address>

    That seemed to fix it. Thanks, I owe your a beer.
