No download (Manual/DIM/Daz Connect) for MMX Resource Saver Shaders Collection 3 for Iray

24 hours later on a non-holiday weekday and still no manual or DIM download options for this product.

Available in Daz Connect

That's why I didn't mention Connect. And I have no idea about Central. Neither are acceptable options for me and many others. 

At a bare minimum, products should first be made available through the Product Library since a customer might want to use them outside of Daz Studio (and some, like tutorials, are actually meant to be used outside of Daz Studio).

It showed up in DIM just now. I have opened a request for refund, and currentlyII am split between withdrawing that request and downloading the shader, or keep up the request. I do want this premature releases to stop. Almost every single day we have a new release that can be purchased, but not downloaded. And I am afraid, as long as we (the customers) accept that we have to wait xx hours to finally get what we have bought, this will not change at all. As long as the money moves into DAZ pockets, why change anything?

 

Please try again, I now have links in my Product Library (haven't checked DIM as it takes rather a long time to refresh for me).

this was probably the worst time you could have done this 

probably. well, for sure. I was warned by Richard Hazeltine not to do it now. I was at the end of my capability to deal with the problems ..now I have more. BUT, not sure anymore how it all works, but DAZ Connect can install directly which is what I'm doing for now, but this will just create future problems. DAZ Central also was working but I don;t want it ... thinking of one more uninstall and going that route. Not sure if it pulls all products from your account or not. 

If you use DIM then don't login through DS! Let DIM handle your installs and updates. You don't want Daz Connect to update your metadata if you use DIM.

I installed Daz Central l, and after that Daz Studio!When Daz Studio was installed I clicked to start it!Screen shows loading screen, and down the loading text stopped on "Upgrading CMS..." and the program stays in this way with the loading screen and don't working! After that I exited from Daz Studio, and when I start it again, the screen showes a window on which writes "Only one instance of Studio General Release can be running at a time" and Daz Studio don't starting. Why this is happening?? Please help me!

Are they DIM/Daz Central installs or Connect installs? Do the product thumbnails for DIM/Dax Central items have the installable icon (the circled triangle) at top-right still?

Don't know whether anyone ever solved this problem. I'm running into it as well on a new system. Part of a running problem with categorization (but that is anothr long tale of woe not directly related to this). 

So I loaded Daz Central and Daz Studio on a fresh computer. Noticed quickly that it was loading content onto my C: drive which is too small for it. Tried to migrate that to the D: drive and then the problems began. Ultimately tried to wipe DAZ clean off the machine and start from new. Now I can't get DAZ Central to get beyond the LOADING screen with the spinner just spinning. 

If anyone has any thoughts on how to get this to install again cleanly I would much appreciate it. It seems like some cruft got left behind somewhere and/or I deleted something that ought not have been deleted. IN any event I would have expected a fresh install of DAZ Central to pick up whatever new it needed to re-install. ... AArgh....

Exactly the same situation

I just downloaded and created an account. I tried to log in and it said my credentials were wrong. So I doubled checked...still wrong. I reset my password, and it still said it was wrong. I can log into the website but not in the application. What can I do?

Same for me, still not fixed. Instead of submitting a ticket to tech support, I will now start to ask for a refund in such cases. I am fed up, really, as this sh** happens each and every single day.

Same issue here too. And it's not in DAZ Central either.

More than 24hrs after release, the product still cannot be downloaded. My request for a refund has also been ignored so far. CS seem to be drowned in tickets. Before the store change, I ususally got an answer within a day.

Moved to Techncial Help as it is not a Daz Studio topic.

DIM links should start daz3dim:// , which is a protocol that should have been assigned to Install manager when it itself was installed (it will therefore open DIM, and the rest of the link tells it to filter just the target product file). It's possible that security stettings/software are blocking this. Daz Central doesn't use a protocol in this way, as it doesn't do the filtering.

This has been bugging me now for a while and I though it should be a temporary glitch but it is existing now for too long to be considered unintentional. Formerly, after purchasing from DAZ Store, one could select a direct install through either DIM or DC - now there is just that stupid link which would allow to download either - which I have both installed on my machine (needless to say, as almost everyone I prefer sticking with DIM) but it even doesn't work for DC - which rules out a desperate attemtp to make this option more attractive. Which christians the elephant "Why"....

I haven't tried Daz Central, and won't- but if you install via that, can you ever go back to DIM?  Because isn't it true DIM doesn't know what has already been installed via DC? That would be a mess.

Yes, you can go back. No, it isn't true that DIM will not know what DC installed.

I have somehow managed to get the whole thing screwed up.

Daz Central won't even load and start properly now. 

Daz Central/Daz Install manager install to a common folder, Daz Connect installs each product to its own sub-folder of /data/cloud/ in the daz Connect data directory - the differnt locations is therefore expected.

Categorisation iss tored in the local database, by default in %AppData%/daz 3d/cmd/contentcluster/. Unless you transferred the AppData folder to your new machine you should not be getting customised categories.

You need to make sure that D:\Daz 3D\Applications\Data\DAZ 3D\My DAZ 3D Library\ is listed as a Daz Studio Format (and probably a Poser Format) content directory in Content Directory Manager, then you shoudl be able toa ccess the Daz Central installs.

I am having a terrible time getting my content moved to a new system. Several issues as listed below. Any and all help on any of these issues would be appreciated.

Some background: Problems started when I discovered that DAZ had been downloading content to my C: drive which being rather limited in space filled up. I attempted moving the contents to a larger drive and this had various issues, not the least of which months of work categorizing data seems to have been lost and an old (unwanted) version of the categorization re-appeared as if by (evil) magic. Meanwhile I have upgraded computers and rather than just migrating everything I have tried to install the new version of Daz on the new computer and began installing and categroizing data using Daz Central. After loading a few things I noticed that it too was installing to the C: drive on the new computer So I stopped and tried to get that corrected only to see things totally bolluxed up. Since I'd not gotten too far in this effort I just went ahead, de-installed and wiped the various DAZ directories hoping to start from scratch. 

Life is not that kind...

1: Reinstalled Daz Central and Daz Studio. Through Daz Connectt installed Starter Essentials for Genesis & Genesis2, 3, 8. 

1a. Expected to be able to see these in Daz Studio. No such luck. Noticed that some of my settings had been saved from before I had wiped everything This seems to indicate that some data is being stored in a place I was not aware of. Hmmm...

1.b   Installed one small package to see where it would go. Installed dForce Myles Beard for Genesis 8 Male(s) first using Daz Central.

1.b.i: The package ended up in the following directory but was not seen by Daz Studio : 
      D:\Daz 3D\Applications\Data\DAZ 3D\My DAZ 3D Library\People\Genesis 8 Male\Anatomy\AprilYSH

1.b.ii:  So I tried installing it directly from Daz Studio as it was in my available tab. In this instance the files installed into the following directory:
      D:\Daz 3D\Applications\Data\DAZ 3D\My DAZ 3D Library\data\cloud\1_76918\people\genesis 8 male\anatomy\aprilysh
   Obviously I have a mismatch between Daz Central and Daz Studio. But I am not sure where..

1c.   Also, since the product installed with categorizations I have previously given it which had not been done on this computer I have to assume it pulled that in from elsewhere and the dirrectory "cloud" indicates to me that it's somehow associated with my Daz account. THis might give me some hope that eventually I might be able to get my contents back with the categorizations I actually want, but that is probably too much to ask for. 

2: Trying to figure out where my mismatch is between Daz Central and Daz Studio: Here are the settings: 
   Daz Central
      Base Path Location : D:/Daz 3d
      Daz Studio Install Location: C:/Daz 3d/Applications/64-bit/DAZ 3D/DAZStudio4
      Daz Studio Install Location: D:/Daz 3D/Applications
      Unreal Engine Install Location: D:/Daz 3D/Applications

   Daz Studio Content Directory Manager: 
      Daz Connect Data: D:/Daz 3D/Applications/Data/DAZ 3D/My DAZ 3D Library

3: So I guess the questions becomes: 

3A: Is there some way I can properly get Daz Connect and Daz Studio looking at the same place for data again?
3B: Barring that is there some way I can completely unistall the applications to start wtih a clean slate? 
3C: If my categorization data is actually being stored in the cloud with my account, How can I find/access it directly? 

Some of my tools will not install.  

DaztoMaya - no go

meshgrabber - nogo

meshgrabber rotation - nogo

I have all of my content files on an external drive but Daz Studio is in the C: drive default library

I also have a studio install that is hung at 86% for 4 days.  Daz works fine for what I've reinstalled but it has issues.

Caz Central needs some work.

I've avoided both DIM and the newer DAZ Central.  Won't go near them.  And I'm perfectly happy with Studio 4.12 staying far away from the new features of 4.14.  (Just because they skipped the unlucky number 13 doesn't mean the Universe wasn't keeping count.)

Keep in mind Daz Central is the official download manager, DIM is almost "outdated"

LOL...not for me it ain't ;).

Laurie

Nor for anyone else.

Thanks for get it confirmed, Richard.

I only use DIM to download my purchases and sporadically Product Library - when downloads works there.
