I never send a bug report, how do we do that. So far I have 2 issues.
One with the Renderstudio Infinite cove and one with OOT Hair blending.
To submit a bug:
http://www.daz3d.com/help/help-contact-us
Ah, there is the issue! It works only on IRay! Ok, thanks, you solved the mistery!
I've been skimming through the thread and didn't see an answer to timmins.william's question about 3Delight changes. Did I miss it?
I like to wait a week or two before installing a new release... and let everybody else deal with the bug headaches first.
No offense, I do that with any new software.
... There wouldn't, by any chance, be an update to the Daz Studio manual, would there?
OK. thank you SO much for replying. I'll go ahead and install then. I have the previous version backed up anyways so at least I can go back if I need to! It's a real buggar to locate all those install files in my huge download library, I must say, took me over 1/2 hour to get DS, the plugins and default resources zips and .dsx files. YIKES.
yes, on mac, CUDA drivers is a separate package to download and install.
Still contains support for encrypted content (other than scripts, which is fair enough), and DAZ haven't renounced content encryption and pledged that encyption support is just legacy content decryption, so I will still not be installing any 4.9, and will contune with 4.8. (Yes I know one doesn't have to use Connect when using 4.9; but I will not install content encryption supporting software on principle until and unless DAZ completely renoujce content encyption.)
As (a) I don't use Smart Content, (b) I just use folder view in the content pane (for a start with I have a LOT of content from the last 14 years not from DAZ and not in the database, and I need a consistent way to find it all), and (c) after comparison experiments and looking at other people's Iray renders I decided to stick with 3Delight for rendering*, there isn't even a temptation to stray from my staying with 4.8 on principle.
* BTW, a number of PAs and DAZ have missed out on several hundred dollars of purchases from me last year for content I would have bought if it had come with 3DL materials as well, but it only had Iray materials and for that reason I didn't buy it. (Obviously I'm not talking about products that are just e.g. sets of Iray shaders for floors or rocks or whatever; I'm talking about environments, buldings, props, vehicles, weapons, clothes, hair, characters etc..) I have bought a few products that only had Iray shaders, that I wnated enough and the price was reasonable enough that I was prepared to convert the materials to 3DL myself, but the bar is much higher for me to buy something that doesn't have 3DL materials, and the number of things I've bought despite them only having Iray materials is much smaller than the number I didn't buy because they only had Iray materials. The total I would have spent but didn't solely because the products didn't have 3DL materials really does come to quite a few hundred dollars. I'm especially miffed at Platinum Club products starting to appear without 3DL material options, the number of which has been gradualy increasing. I am very seriously thinking about not renewing my PC+nsubscription simply for that reason.
No issues with CMS off. It's a bit slower for having to scan the directories everytime anew, though. I did put my PostgreSQL CMS database on my D: drive, just beside my Content Library.
I did this a long time ago because of Windows' sometimes overprotective behaviour when something or someone wants to access and/or alter files on the system drive. An additional plus is that you wont have to set up everything anew if you have to set up your Windows OS again when broken. All I'd have to do in that case is install DAZ Studio again after setting up a fresh Win7, the Content Library and CMS database still exist in their last states and will work like nothing did happen. It saves you hours of reinstalling and reoganizing your Content Library.
Immediately. Every time. As Ostadan mentioned, its been happening since the first update to 4.9. I'm not alone in this, there was quite a discussion for a while.
I took the drastic step, last night, of resetting my database. I didn't want to do it, but I was starting to get really annoyed. I'll be even more annoyed if that doesn't work.
Okay probably slightly OT, but I have something I should maybe submit a bug report/feature request for?
Currently render settings presets wipe out any canvases information, which is pretty irritating. Particularly for me since I: like using canvases and also like switching between really low and final samples via presets so I can use the aux viewport without my computer overheating as much
edit what Id really love though is if they'd set max samples as an option in draw settings, that way my aux viewport could just have different max samples than the main viewport period. I mean you can set it so your aux viewport can have be in a different render mode so why not max samples it would be so nice :(
DAZ 4.9.3 Pro General Release not available for update via DIM?
It is. Please make sure that the following Download Filters are checked in DIM:
Software
Windows 32\64 or Mac 32\64 depending on your OS
Also check Connect Installed as it works for some.
Filter setting not changed.
My system is 64bit.
However: even switching 32bit on, no 4.9.3 showing.
Why connect? I'm only downloading via DIM !!
@kervala, is Genesis 3 set to Default or Current in the transfer utility? You did mention that you exported at 105%...
edit: My mistake, you did mention it... hmmmmm.
What supplementary files, plugins and programs are necessary for a successful installation of Daz Studio 4.9.3 Pro, General Release?
What is your current installed version?
DoctorJellybean, if that Q is for me: 4.9.2.70 (64-bit).
(sorry, it should have occured to me to include that)
Current version is 4.9.2.70, the last official general release.
I assume you have done this:

You can always use the standalone installers.
Just DAZ Studio and the accompanying plugins.
But, by standalone installer - is it still sychronized with DIM?
All the former updates automatically worked in DIM.
Connect Installed is a tag that is generated locally, apparently it can be over agressive. I had to set the Connect Installed flag to on before the update showed.
Check your hidden category. Occasionally mine ended up in there.
Hi Richard,
as you see in my screenshot, the connect flag is active.
There is no update installer...it's a full version installer and is the same thing whether it's manually downloaded or DIM does it.
"If you have a previous version of DAZ Studio 4, then we STRONGLY recommend that you uninstall that version prior to installing the latest version of DAZ Studio 4."
This is from 2012, but apparently still active advice?
For the previous relaeses it ever appeared under the UPDATE section.
When I downloaded it - it was still 4.9.2.70!!
That may be...but there was and is no difference between what it downloads...there is only one installer. Daz doesn't do patch/incremental updates. It's always the full version.
