i had similar problem..try importing metadata. it fixed mine. did you try Daz Central?

DAZ Central isn't being forced on anyone. This is just a distribution screwup and it will be fixed before the day is out. It will be in your Catalog and available once the issue is fixed. DAZ does care about the customers. 

I just bought Stonemasons Frontier Outpost (and added a free one with the coupon).

The free one appeared in my content, the Frontier Outpost did not.

I already filed a ticket, but for the last one DAZ took nearly seven weeks to answer ...
And again they are forcing a new buggy software on the users, since the new content only is downloadable through DAZ Central.
But what does DAZ care? they have my money and obviously anyway see no obligation to deliver the content bought or see that it works.

 

Do you know this for certain, have you actually got that from someone who works for Daz or is it speculation?

Daz_Rawb posted that this Daz Central was not a replacement for DM in the original thread, and he has repeated that (and that anything available through Daz Central will be available through DIM since they are the same core) today in one of the discussions about the application or the Frontier Outpost product.

And he just posted that it was fixed (you may need to wait a bit for cloudflare propagation though)

Guys, the DIM/DazCentral installer IS the manual download. Daz_Rawb said right here that it is an error and shouldn't have been able to have happened. He also said the Daz Central IS the DIM installer. Three methods-- 1 file. 

The biggest problem with DAZ Central aside from messing with the installation paths and so on is that it does not come with a batch download and install function.
In my opinion, DAZ Central is just an ugly GUI for handling manual downloads and installations.

Geez... one thing is being wary, another is having the torches lit all the time. I'm 83% sure it is a bug, you know, a mistake. Those things we all make. Wait until it's official that it's really only available for Central and then light up the torches, I'll be right there with my own. You know, "until proven guilty" and all that.

We have sent in a query on the apparently Central-only items, as it is certainly my understanding that it uses the same fiels as DIM - in fact I was going to ask iif anyone had purchased and  been able to download at alll, so thanks for reporting on that. I suspect it's as glitch in the way the install type list is generated, and the products have not in fact been uplaoded, but we will see what Daz says.

Thanks! While others are being a little too quick to light up their torches I rather wait for official response, and this already makes me think it's really just a mistake. People seem to forget we all make them and the whole "until proven guilty" thing. Even if I'm wrong and it's indeed an agenda trying to push Central down people's throats, well, not buying anything only for Central after the official response should be enough.

About Central itself, I tried using it on a freshly built rig, installed Daz using Central... and after a few minutes it didn't recognize Daz was installed. It was enough for me to say I don't want to rely on that thing. And to top it off, you can't keep the downloaded install files from products like you do with DIM. I keep those so I don't have to download that much stuff again when I need a fresh install. Even if it's meant to simplify things for new users I feel Daz Central is just complicating stuff on the long run for those new users.

Simple question regarding DAZ Central downloads. When DAZ Connect only was introduced, it was clearly stated that the Connect only would be for one year. Does the same apply to Central only?

DazCentral uses the same internal core as DIM, so anything installable through DazCentral will be installable through DIM as well.

 

Not my question. Connect Only had a specified time limit. Does the same hold for Central Only?

There is no central only content.

That is my reading of

The issue with Frontier Outpost is that ti doesn't currently have any installers, I suspect it lists Daz central because it has some kind of pointer that would tell Daz Central to downbload the (DIMable) zip if it was present, so the install option is incorrectly listed as available.

Ugh....wth   first I'm not a dude...dude    StoneMason didn't specify what he was getting fixed. If it was the fact that it wasn't downloading through DazCentral or for the other options being available.  

DAZ made in the past a very clear statement that DIM will stay and DAZ Central is only an option for new users.

So you can expect that's only a bug that Frontier Outpost is not working via DIM.

 

Um, no, you can't:

 

Unless you know of some really groovy workplace-permitted drug that can make that happen, it is willful and intentional.

It is rat-in-a-maze time for us "consumers." Maybe we could look for a blessing in it, such as being thankful that they didn't decide to use actual electric cattle prods on us.

B. F. Skinner would be so, so proud.

Yes we can. I purchased Frontier Outpost. There are no download links in the product library page. I even installed Daz Central and the Frontier Outpost does not show up in my Daz Studio Assets. It is a bug. 

Well I manually install all of my content and if they force daz central on us like they did daz connect they won't see another dime from me.

Have a little patience bugs happens.

But in the meantime, DIM functionality is being removed, and DazCentral, even in its broken and incomplete form, is being pushed on us.   Daz has not acknowledged or apologized for the many problems it has cause its customers with Daz Central and rather than scrapping it going back to the drawing board to produce a properly functioning client, continue to cause us and themselves unnecessary frustration.

Sounds like daz is taking a page from Diviant Arts playbook and doing their version of an eclipse run on everyone.

I (foolishly perhaps) tried the Central beta when it came out. It ended up messing up my DIM paths, and breaking the CMS to the point that I had to go into the registry to rip out stuff before being able to reinstall Studio and have everything work. I can wait for this to resolve... And if it turns out that Central only is correct (which would surprise me), well, I'll be saving some store credit.

Its a beautiful set and I can wait a few hours on it. Its not like the world is coming to an end... maybe I should rephrase that... 

I haven't had issues with Central, and in fact found it a breeze to set up on a remote F drive. Maybe its because learning the DIM seemed so intimidating that when I finally did learn it, something stuck for once.

Given the second post in this thread says the Frontier Outpost isn't available in DazCentral after purchase, one would think people would realize there's a bug involved and not leap to crazy speculation on some kind of evil plot to force DazCentral on everyone.  

For those who mentioned Daz Connect, the only items that were Connect only were ones with DRM that required Daz Connect. There's been no indication that DazCentral is applying any form of DRM to files loaded using it, as far as I can tell Daz Central is just an attempt at a simplified version of DIM though whether it is too simplified or has simplified the wrong things for more technical minded users is a discussion for a different thread.

I just bought Frontier Outpost as well & would like it in DIM to be saved & backed up in the same OS FS location as all the other products I've bought at DAZ 3D and downloaded via DIM. We were told DAZ Central was in addition to DIM not in place of DIM.

i tought so, its about time to go to Renderosity!

if its not being available in DIM format i skip it ( and a lot of other people ) Daz Central sucks!!!!
