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).

yeah now my previously saved Daz scenes won't load up *cries*

Gotit too! NEVER USE AGAIN THE BUGZ CENTRAL!!!

It's just TERRIBLE!

Thanks!

For the valid PostgreSQL message - try going into the edit preferences in Daz Studio and make sure that D/S has the correct path for where it has installed itself.

As I recall, for the sign-in issues, you need to have added the account(s) to DIM. Then select the account you want opened, then at that popup you can put in the email address and corresponding password for the account.

I have uninstalled DIM so can't give you screenshots.Sorry, but give us an example of this path because before 4.1.4 I usually set my DIM path on my external drive where all my stuff is. Now with all this DAZ Central fanfare, when you configure DIM and then open DAZ Central, then you get another kind of unintelligible configuration.

Now with all this DAZ Central fanfare, when you configure DIM and next open DAZ Central, then you get another kind of unintelligible configuration, everything change, then you open the DAZ 4.1.4 and appears a window showing you this message "PostgreSQL CMS error".

I uninstall from DAZ Central this DAZ Studio 4.1.4 and try to install the PB version from DIM but, after putting my username & password, just nothing happen.

I'm installing in a iMac 21.5 late 2013, 2.9GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5, 8GB-RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750 1GB, Mac OS CATALINA.

Thanks!

Does it reset any settings or adds new ones I need to change? Like the Display Optimization before, where you had to set it to best to increase overall speed. Like if I change a slider, it lags for a moment.

 

God, why the fuck did I do this update? Everytime I hit render, it instantly goes to "close" instead of cancel render and don't have a picture rendered.

What would be the best way to revert back without breaking everything?

 

Edit: It now renders, updated my graphic card drivers, but still runs like crap in the viewport so not sure if there are more settings I need to change. Would probably prefer to revert back still.

? Daz Central doesn't render anything. If you don't like Daz Central uninstall it.

Daz Studio does renders. If you don't like the update you need to have saved the installation folders for the previous edition. Uninstall 4.14 and reinstall 4.12 [or whichever].

Hello everyone.
Im new here. I wanted to try 3d rendering.
And here is my problem. I cannot login in DAZ Studio. And i cannot see assets. I have no problem loging into DIM or DAZ Central. I've found a lot of threads about 'PostgreSQL CMS' Error. And i've done it all.
I've unistalled Antivirus software , Switched off firewall. Reinstalled Daz Studio , Reinstalled PostgreSQL , changed port in CMS settings.
Please Help and sorry for my bad English.

out of nowhere, I can't sign into daz central. I change my password, I uninstall (5 times now), restart my computer, and nothing works. I don't know what to do

where is your installation of daz [studio]? and are you using DAZ central to install them?
if the answer to your second question is yes, and the answer to the first is C drive.
daz central wil install content to your daz [Studio] installation.
i have a 512GB for my system and other programs. Daz is a dedicated 1TB m.2 drive and its got 300GB of space left.

so tell us more.

Daz Central is a download and install manager.
You now need to "buy"  Daz Studio ( https://www.daz3d.com/daz-studio-4-pro )  and then download and install that and all the Genesis 8 Starter Essentials  using Daz Central

i can't seem to find the genesis 8 figures and  i was wondering if you could help me because i had already downloaded daz central

She's coming through Connect, DIM, Central and Direct Download for me now :)

Can I just get a consensus, my issue is to do with Frida the Viking Outfit for which I have no way to download.  I put this in as technical support rather than sales, would you agree that's the correct route?

Would I be wrong to now just put a sales support in and ask for a refund?  They say it may take a few for Technical Support to respond, see message below, below.

The items will not show in DIM, Central or Connect and the product page only has Daz Connect options and the offline package file results in an error

The right person happened to be online on this weekend afternoon, so this should be fixed very soon.

Great!  Because I have a ticket open for that product because there were no ZIPs to download.  Just checked and there's a ZIP to download now so it's just a matter of repeating attempts until it succeeds.  Thanks!

Also noticed that the "sku" is still the "name" lowercased instead of the actual SKU.  And the "ordered_at" and "order_id" fields are wrong/null.

{"product_customer_id":"","customer_id":"XXXXXX","product_id":"74493","order_item_id":null,"parent_id":"","ordered_at":"1971-05-25 5:00:00 PM","order_id":null,"name":"Dforce Frida Viking Outfit For Genesis 8 Female","entity_id":"74493","entity_type_id":"","attribute_set_id":"","type_id":"","sku":"dforce frida viking outfit for genesis 8 female","has_options":"","required_options":"","created_at":null,"updated_at":"","increment_id":null,"dim_ready":""},

hang on a sec while we log you out 

Okay, thank you.

feeling sorry for myself again,  hear the pity violins.  tried to play with particles but the settings just look like a smudge of ink on the screen

i cant peel a potato safely but put a twinkie in my hand i can get the wrapper off

But the real question is, can you chuck wood like a woodchuck would chuck?  You know, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

It's dark outside. Is that normal at 3 a.m.?

No, never.  Except when it is.

Then I guess a better question would be, "Where am I?"

Also, is your clock in the same time zone?

It's not enough to ask just about the time zone.  There's the Daylight Savings Time (DST) vs. Standard Time (ST) question.  So 08:00 for me in Florida is not always the "same time" for Puerto Rico or parts of Southern Indiana, because neither of those places is in my time zone.  I'm in Eastern, while PR is in Atlantic, and the "toe" of Indiana is in Central).  And to make things even more brain-tourquingly difficult, only Eastern observes DST.  That "twang" you just heard was your brain's mainspring popping out.  Better go find it! 

And then when you throw in the fact that some people STILL think "Midnight" belongs to the prior day (the old "Zulu Time" on Wednesday, for example, would be considered Wednesday NIGHT at 24:00, instead of Thursday Morning at 00:00 as it would be today). 

It's a wonder that any human ever figured out how to measure time, let alone tell what time it is.  And feeding and clothing ours ourselves, and going potty without needing help.  It's amazing.  But then who would help us, monkeys?  They still haven't figured out pants and they're the ones throwing that stuff around at each other!

Complaint:  There should not be such a thing as Hurricane Iota.

Not one iota?

No, but maybe two.

today is a transformers movie marathon caturday.  air popped salt free popcorn

Sounds like fun!  I'm about to head outside and do something noisy.  Maybe mow the lawn or cut down a tree.  Anybody want to help?

I have to agree completely. Central does NOT anything OF VALUE. In fact, half the time it doesn't even boot up for me. I'm sticking with DIM. Sorry, DAZ. Central was a foul ball and not the homerun that you were expecting.

If you find Genesis 8 Starter Essentials in the products tab of Smart Content what icon does it have at top-right of the thumbnail?

in the top right cornor it just says actor...

Nothing is loading. everything i click on is unable to find its .duf

 

i'll go ahead and blame Daz Central on this too, because this is a problem i din't have until now also.. lol

And is PostgreSQL installed?

Ok, so now this is happening.. XD

I havnt been able to use DAZ in like a year.

If your content installed in default location, or is it somewhere else?

I had it install DAZ on my D Drive rather than on my C Drive because my C Drive is for my OS only.. Daz is too big..

From what I read, DazCentral has a tendency to reset paths used to default value, so I would check what is setup in DS preferences for the content directories to see if the paths point to D drive.

If thats what happened, then i have no idea how to fix that...

Get rid of DAZ Central, return to using the DAZ Install Manager and make sure the content directories set up in there are th same you have in your DAZ|Studio preferences.

I've found forum links to questions about migrating everything DS from one PC to another, but I chose to do a new install of everything to a new drive via the Daz site as I assumed it would be quicker as all of my DS is on a laptop when my new PC is much faster. The only link I've found re this is the one below, but there's not enough step-by-step instruction for me, plus the creation of the Daz Central monster has only complicated things. And now I've complicated my own planned process by first trying to install everything on a new PC, not realising that there isn't enough space on the D Drive as I wanted it separate to the C, then having to buy a 2TB external SSD (F Drive) only to frack myself as I'd already messed up the paths in DIM failing to get it on the D.
In DIM I now have all of the paths back to the default for C Drive (I've successfully installed 2 small KB only products to my old laptop which is almost out of space); ie: all of these are now C:
Package Archive
Thumbnail "
Manifest "
Content Database Base
Content Base Path
64-bit Software Base
32-bit "
Do all of these paths have to be changed in order to install everything on a new PC's F Drive? I would assume so, but this is where I'm in complete confusion as in DIM every path is visually incomplete and ends with "..." So I've absolutely no idea what to change or what to change it to. I was hoping I'd need to change one path as I did with DIM and Daz Central and that would be it, "simples".

On my F Drive I created the folder "AaaMY Daz Content" (the Aaa so that this folder will always be first in the line). In that is the "DazCentral" folder and the "Program Files" folder in which are DAZ 3D: DAZ3DDIM1 then the array of other folders and files, mostly .dll. But do I need to add any other folder besides my "AaaMY Daz Content"?
What I need is step by step instructions on how to word the file paths in DIM, first so that I can install Daz Studio in the F Drive, and then so that via DIM I can install all of my Daz content in the new Daz Studio.
