K so I installed the 'dazCentral' thing but for some reason whenever I start Daz now I get this popup first (pic 1) then after I click ok I go to the main Daz inferface and it looks mostly white (pic 2) what is goin on here?! it must be to do with the DazCentral installation as I've never had this happen before. I uninstalled it but this message still keeps popping up when I start Daz and the interface still is messed up. Help pls.

    That usually happens when there is an update that executes when Studio is running. Re-install Studio from DIM or the standalone installer and check your library locations. Make sure your DIM setup (if you use it) is still intact, Central is known for messing with it, especially if you use non-standard locations.

    Caveat: From the splash screen it looks like the OP is using DS 4.12. Unless they have a saved installer for it, reinstalling now with either DIM or manual download will install the upgraded version (DS 4.14).

    @Drekkan

    Changing Studio versions won't disrput previous saved scenes unless your contents paths are different with the Studio update. The Studio update shouldn't change  content paths either.

    Right. I always have that backup, so I assume everyone else does, too. Haven't installed the new version, so I didn't think of it. If the OP didn't have a backup, it's too late for that, anyway.

    Could be that Central mucked it up, from what I've read. (Note: @fastbike just put plain text after the @ for the auto-notification. Forum software will generate the code)

    ah you gotta be kidding me so now all my work saves are unloadable? can't I reinstall the previous version back?

    Check your library paths in Studio to ensure that they have not been changed (Content Directory Manager). If the library with the installed content has been re-defined, your saved scene files might not be able to find it.

    so its a case of just re-directing them?

  • NorthOf45NorthOf45 Posts: 5,749

    If they were changed, yes. Edit the path to point to the proper folder, if that is the case.
