Di per me è comunque un mezzo miracolo che riesca a far funzionare DAZ Studio, a duplice titolo: che ho - da arruffone - capito le funzionalità di quasi tutte le tab dell'interfaccia di default, in più sono ho preso a sfruttare estensivamente i poco amati DAZ Central e Smart Content, che per me hanno cambiato parecchio l'approccio a questo programma (prima non trovavo un tubo); nonché nel senso che lo stesso giri sulla mia vecchia macchina con risultati in termini velocistici tutto sommato accettabili (non sempre, ma generalmente sì) e con "solo" qualche crash sporadico.

Perciò non mi preoccupo più di tanto per la DForce che funziona, a me, malino: pazienza, magari quando potrò permettermi la 3090 o 3080 TI le cose andranno meglio (lo so che non è così, ma almeno avrò una RTX).

Hi.  Yes.  So far I've tried to install DIM and DAZ from stand alone installers and have tried to install DAZ through DAZ Central. DIM will only open in offline mode which is useless.  I have now tried 3 or 4 times to uninstall and re-install everything.  The results have been a disaster.  Sometimes DAZ won't even show up in the Windows Start menu as being installed.  And twice DAZ Central installed DAZ on both my C and D drives.  In this latest attempt I uninstalled everything and then went into regedit to try and ensure DAZ was totally removed everywhere.  I tried to reinstall and DAZ is now totally empty.  It didn't install even the basic Smart Content.  And once I tried to install any content I was pretty pissed off to see that it is sticking everything in the Public folder. And I can't understand how something so basic as specifiying to install my content on a second drive is this difficultto acocmplish for DAZ.

I am so frustrated right now.  I just bought a brand new Alienware.  This was not a cheap investment.  And the only reason is for DAZ. DAZ is basically useless in MAC now because iRay will only work with Nvidia. But the fact that I can't simply install the damn program, nevermind specify an external or secondary drive for my content library makes me want to scream right now. Even if I can get the damn program installed and working, I have almost 1 TB of content that will not fit on the system drive in the public folder.  This is just ridiculous.

So I am stuck with a weird problem.  I mistakenly tried using Daz Central and it defautled to create everything on my C drive.  I do not want any content on this drive. Just the app.  So I tried uninstalling everything and then downloaded the DIM.  I keep trying to use it but when I try to login (it seems to have pre-filled in my Daz Central info) the app just vanishes like it isn't even loading.

That's weird ...

Did you try to start DIM in Offline mode and go through all the settings?

So I am on a brand new Windows 10 pc.  I am trying to get DAZ installed properly and so far I am really stuck.  I didn't want to use DAZ Central, but DIM will not load.  I can get it to start in Work Offline mode only.  If I try to login and hit start the app just disappears.  This is really frustrating.

Is there any fix for the fact that the smart content tab just refuses to be accurately sorted? I really like the smart content because I'm a visual person, but the sorting is completely broken, especially the ones I'd use most often: release date and order date.

i.e. if I sort by Release Date it shows:

Rocky Place (Released 2020-08-19)
Path Between the Cliffs (2020-03-29)
Olive Grove - Ancient Olive Trees (2020-03-29)
Fantasy Forest (2020-03-29)
Arbor Mortis (2020-07-29)

If I sort by Order Date, it shows

Sci-Fi Crew Outfit for Genesis 8 Female(s) (Bought 2020-11-06)
Ultimate Pose Master (2021-03-21)
dForce EXzela Long Hair (2020-06-17)
200 Plus Head and Face Morphs (2019-04-23)
iRadiance Crystal Sparkle Rich HDRI (2020-03-29)

If I buy something new, I'm excited to use it! But instead I have to manually search it through a massive catalogue. Combined with the fact that some products are still missing pictures from the March Madness, and I keep getting the placeholder for the read me error on a bunch of things until I refresh countless times, and a ton of recent items are in the lost and found for some reason, and  it's just such a drag.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I really don't want to lose the functionality of the SmartContent tab. Currently using Daz 4.15.0.2 Pro, 64 bit, Windows 10 Home (10.0.19042). I primarily install through the Smart Content tab except for some utilities that require DIM. Not using Daz Central to install.

Yeah I have 2 monitors, It's not appearing on either, I just quickly made a new account to login to on my pc, tried to login to my daz account on daz studio there, it did the same thing, as soon as I opened it in offline mode, it opened all the way, so it appears that whenever my daz account logs in, it crashes and closes studio or install manager down, but doesn't affect central

Daz Studio Not Opening After Splash Art 
I've recently been trying to open up Daz Studio, but the splash art appears for a brief moment then goes away again, with this included gif from using my gyazo software https://gyazo.com/c66876e4cf8521f96576cf25aa332fdb this is an example of what happens, what kind of fix can I do for this?

I've tried

• uninstalling and reinstalling
• removing my files (gonna hate to reinstall all again)
• Uninstalling daz central and install manager
• I've made sure graphics card drivers are fully up to date

Also to note, When I try to sign into my Install Manager, it does the exact same thing, I press sign in and it just closes itself. Daz Central will load, that's about the limits of it all

Hi

I've submitted a support ticked, but it says it might take 4-6 weeks for them to respond. So hopefully someone here can help.

A few months ago I set up Daz Studio on my laptop. But it's not really got the punch I need. Setup was fine no issues.

However, I've brought a new desktop: 

 This is a new PC (by new I mean 2 days old!) - 

Running Windows 10, i5-11400 (2.6GHz processor), 40GB ram, NIVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Super, 256GB SSD drive, 1TB External drive.

I've downloaded Daz Central, and installed just the Studio (4.15.0.2) and Genisis 8 Essentials. Nothing else yet. 

Program loads fine. I then enter my login details and click connect. Then it shuts down. No error messages or anything.  This happened every time. So I re-installed. Yep same thing again.

So I selected the offline option. I managed to import a model, and then after a few minutes it shut down again.

I then tried using the Daz Install Manager, with my login details when I press "Start" it just dissappears.

I'm at a complete loss. My laptop only had 8GB ram, and an on board graphics card and it was generally OK. Although I'd rather not have to use my laptop when I've brought a shiny new PC.

I've attached the log file.

Any advice welcome.

Hi I have tried installing, uninstalling, reinstalling Daz Studio 4 times now and it keeps crashing.

Installing it through Daz Central, is there another way?

This is a brand new laptop, is Intel Iris Xe graphics the problem?

-It crashes at the login screen, if I enter my Daz name and password, crashes and shuts itself down

-If I don't login, and I add a figure and try to pose it, it crashes on the pose and shuts down.

Has anyone been able to get this program running?

considering taking this laptop back and getting one with an Nvidia GPU, but not sure that's the problem.

These are very basic tasks and if it can't handle these not sure the GPU is the issue

Thanks

Running Win10, i7 10th gen, 16GB ram, Intel IrisXe graphics

Yes, this is happening to me too

if there was a car file and cbr file looking for the same hdr, a central textures folder would be more practical.

Exactly. So if you did do the change, you'r also want to redo the presets with the new HDRI location. PITA!

if there was a car file and cbr file looking for the same hdr, a central textures folder would be more practical.

but i'm shuffling scene inventory between 2 machines.  i don't want to have to hunt down the textures folder when copying between the machines.   the external ssd is fast, and quiet, the hdr are a longer load, especially the 16k, is worth it to put it on the system drive for now.

what i need is a flux capacitor fast NAS

What does your log say after you have loaded G8.1 Female? (Help->Troubleshooting->View Logfile)

I got hundreds of warnings of 6843 and 6777 but those warnings appear when I loaded G8 as well so I don't think it's the problem. Althought I don't remember having those hundreds of errors before I installed G8.1 which incidently was the same time I also installed and uninstalled Daz Central, aka the BIG MISTAKE that screwed up my DIM installation paths. How do I debug 6843 and 6777?

After those warnings I got:

EDIT:

I tried it with other purchased characters such as Sangriart's Emmeline and the shape is the same for both G8 and G8.1. Goanna's Saya is the only one that won't work with G8.1. Saya is a HD character so I don't know if that's an issue. I can't try others since Saya is the only HD G8F character I owned.

I should download the new version of Daz Install manager.  I need to find the download link first.

edit: I guess I need to install Daz Central instead.

 

Nooooo! There is a way to get DIM!! I think you can go to your product library and click on a DIM ready file. If DIM isn't installed (so uninstall your old one first-hopefully you have an old backup installer for it though, just in case), then it should bring up a prompt asking if you want to install DIM. It should install the latest one.

Personally, I wouldn't touch Daz Central with a 10ft pole. 

Or use this link: https://www.daz3d.com/install-manager-info

That is an error caued by this character: https://www.daz3d.com/renshaw-for-valentino-8. It has been fixed, all you need to do is uninstall him however you installed him (DIM, Central, Connect or Manual) and then RE-DOWNLOAD and reinstall the updated file. 

And please stop shouting.

The Photoshop plugin needs to be installed via Install Manager or manually because plugin files are installed in both Daz Studio and Photoshop application plugin folders. 

Sample pic shows files installed, in this case Beta.  GA release plugin files should be the same.

 

I only have 'DAZ Central' on my machine (no Install Manager), and it's not showing 'DAZ Bridge to Photoshop' available.

Suggestions on where I can freshly download those?

Thx.

I am having the same problem, same system, new install of windows 10, 16gm ram, i7 processor....

What do I do, was this resolved? Do I need to go into windows to allow certain folders? I can't even log in, I'd gotten Install Manager after Daz Central kept crashing hoping this was away around it, but I can't even log in.

I need to do some small animations for a work project and it is important to get this software running. Has anyone been able to fix it or find a workaround?
