Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but every search term I come up with results in huge quantities of false positives.

As I use DAZ, it keeps changing the window size when it has a complex operation.  I have a 4K screen, and I have font scaling set to 150% (Windows recommended value). I run DAZ in fullscreen mode, but during loading of props, or files, or any complex operation the window will reduce in size to 2/3, and it looks like the fonts are set at 100%.  Then it flashes back to full size.

It's incredibly distracting and annoying, so I am hoping this is a known issue and someone can suggest a fix.  I can't say which version this started in, but it was a few months ago.

@barbult -- you have sold me on this product    Are there different rivers? 

Sorry for the slow reply. The website isn't emailing me about forum updates reliably. I get some, but not all. 

Anyway, I've only used a couple of the bridge terrain presets without bridges so far. I did Snake Bridge 01, which I showed above and I am doing Snake Bridge 20 now. They are different. Shake Bridge 20 has some sharp vertical cliffs at the water's edge, where the bridge used to be. TangoAlpha warned me that these terrain presets were not designed for use without the bridges, so the land is adjusted to prevent interference with the bridge. You know I always try things that were not intended. In this case, I have been pretty pleased with what I got so far. It sparks imagination to see what can be done with it.

In the case of Snake Bridge 20 with the steep cliffs, if I were not doing it to demonstrate what it is like, I would try to change the texture maps so that the path texture didn't run vertically down to the water. I would prefer the rock texture there. OI course, when you use the product as intended, the bridge is there and that is not an issue at all. Anyway, the path at the top of the cliff is wide enough for a vehicle, but not wide enough for two side by side. The river is wide enough for two of the canal boats to easily travel side by side. It might be a tight fit under the bridge, though. The character in the scene here is a G9. I added the road barricades on the cliff edge. I changed the water preset to glacial stream to better match the water in the HDRI I used. 

Snake Bridge 01 terrain preset is 128 M and Snake Bridge 20 is 64 M, so that is another difference.

So, all I can tell you so far is that there are at least two rivers that look different, because I've only looked at two in detail so far.

Main promo might be this one:

 

https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-strand-based-fe-braids-bowknot-hair-for-genesis-9

Looks like the one. The DAZ3D search engine just needs some better accuracy.

If you're on Windows, here's a free app with which you can easily browse visually through all your DAZ products.  Search on "hair" and it will list all your hairs only, with a thumbnail for each.  

https://3dcontentmanagers.com/software/pm-daz/

1. File bug reports. I personally think you should name the characters so when people search the forums about faulty character they will find this thread.

2. Two options to fix

• Option 1: Non-permanent solution. Identify any JCMs which shouldnt be active under 'currently used'.  Disconnect/unlink the faulty JCMs so they are no longer controlled by their drivers, and set them to zero, as per what Crosswind described here: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/9359131/#Comment_9359131
• Option 2: Permanent solution.  Update controllers via the Property Heirarchy and resave the updated modifier assets so they overwrite the originals (may want to take backup first if you are worried).
  • Parameters > Preferences > Show Hidden Properties
  • Paramaters tab > go into Edit Mode (right click a parameter and choose Edit Mode)
  • Parameters tab > Find the faulty JCM  > Right click > Show in Property Heirarchy
  • Property Heirarchy tab > Go to Controllers> Stage 2
  • Drag over the character's Body morph from Parameters tab into the Property Heirarchy tab Multiply slot
  • File > Save As > Support Asset > Save Modified Assets (or you can manually save out indiidual Modifier Asset(s) to relevant content library)

Again, this is vendor's job.

Same offer as at changeover yesterday, yes? Will be interesting to see if the rest of the day repeats.

The forum admins will probably have white hair if this is a 2-3-4-... day event. (Tomorrow too, and the 1st of December is Cyber Monday, moreover, the 1st day of the Christmas sales )

I haven't seen so many posts in the New Year, New Sales Thread: Report Issues Here X "Reporting Only"  in ages. 

But a good messed-up sale is sometimes a good sale. 

Filled a few carts yesterday. 

With the Shop turnover over, I grabbed the free items. (Every 2(?) weeks) 

Cleared up a few outlets. More items I probably will never use. 

 60% off was not bad if you were able to get it to work. 

Grabbed Fisio: Physics Simulator, and I already have Gescon: Constructive Solid Geometry for Daz Studio. I want to see what those two could do together.... 

Welcome to the Bryce forum Speculativism, very nice attempt at Paul Klee artwork.

Etd: I needed to google Paul Klee to see his artwork, learnt something new

I've tested a random selection of bundles (maybe 30 or so) the only ones I can find that will use the code are included (all of them) using "Starter Bundle" as a search of the store.

Outlet items (arguably) have some better bundles (for 99p each) - use the checkbox.

And there's a few surprising things in the outlet (but it's 53 pages worth of scrolling) - like this: https://www.daz3d.com/easy-liquid-custom-liquid-shader-and-presets-for-iray ($1 off its outlet price with the coupon), some western gear (buildings, guns and horse-things), a decent sci-fi bundle; a couple of car and plane bundles and some weapon bundles too.

~90% of the characters in the outlet are G8/G3

I managed to find 10 things, getting halfway through the 53 pages.

I think it is/was a decent BFriday gimmick

i think your sale is broken. codes don't work just say invalid, and i have no clue how to find the 10 for 1.99 or .99. or the bundles available for 9.99 or 5.99. it's so broken i'm not even bothering looking no further. so i won't be buying nothing today :0(

 The main DAZ store page is displaying the previous 6 hour offer and codes in error.

The current offers are:(1)  10 Outlet items for 1.99/99c each (select Outlet window in top centre of main store page to see available items) uses code BLACK-OUTLET and it does work.

(2) Starter bundles for 9.99/5.99 I guess type STARTER BUNDLE in search and use code BUNDLED. Not tried it myself.

Ah, now DAZ store gives the correct offers and codes. :-)

Mac support is the absolute next thing we're going to finish up.

If you leave your email address I'll send you an email message once it's done.

I'm sorry we didn't get back to you right away

We've been so busy adding some new features to the add on. (AI Video Generator System)

We put a note at the top of the thread before I'm sorry you didn't see it. It was this:

This is a support forum so we're being safe...If we don't reply to you within a few hours, please send an email here: [email protected] to nudge us.

 I upgraded that line a bit just to make it easier to see next time for the next people...

 We check that email every day so that's the best place to get in touch with us in case we forget.

Welcome to the DAZ shop lol.

For BUNDLED, I just typed "starter bundle" into search, it worked on 2 of the more recent ones, which were the 4 horsemen and monster mashup bundles, didn't test anything else.

There seems to be a bug displaying the correct codes.

For now, you can see on the front page until when the codes are valid.
It says something like Offer ends 18:00 MST (UTC-7)

And then you have to look in this forum which codes are valid.
At the moment it's this:

I agree that DAZ has been up front about plug ins and scripts but with 55 pages in the forum I'm pretty sure no one starts by reading them all hence I thought it appropriate to repeat it when the question was asked. If people did read it all they'd read all about bugs that have been fixed, not helpful. You're probably right that DAZ suggested building in 4.24 and rendering in DS2025 but I've never seen that post. I've posted this suggestion a few times and this is the first time a new thread was spun off. Every other time the posts disappeared without any comment.

As I said, I'm happy the way it is for now. If the plug ins and script products I own are not updated to work in DS2025 then I may decide to keep doing this. I downloaded 4.24 using the instructions provided for people who want to use 3delight after support is removed to make sure I can continue doing this. I think this potential issue warrants the same status as losing support for 3delight but that's up to DAZ to decide.

If you feel a post does not belong in this thread please flag it for the forum team, using the link to the left of the post, rather thana rguing the toss in the thread and (further) disrupting it.

Skinny white chick, yawn

Haha! True. Last time I said that about a figure, I got berated by another forum member.  I think she's attractive. That's a plus. She is very thin for wearing heavy armor.

My problem: My Daz (Windows tabletop) install is split between two drives. The OS drive (small) and a large data drive. This is causing all sorts of problems.

Background: When I first installed Daz on this tabletop computer - back in 2019 I think? - I just put everything on the main drive with the OS. Before long, with all those accumulated assets (happens to the best of us, you know...), I was desperately running out of disk space. So I installed a large secondary drive and had all the space I needed. The Daz exceutable are still on the C: drive but "My Library" and "My Daz Connect Library" are on the secondary drive. They are currently set up as follows in Daz Content Directory Manager:

CMS Cluster Directory:
  C:/Users/(myname)/AppData/Roaming/Daz 3D/cms

Daz Connect Data: 
  E:/Daz3d/My Daz Connect Library

Daz Studio Formats: 
  E:/Daz3d/MY Library
  C:/Users/Public/Documents/My Daz 3D Library
  C:/Daz 3d/Appplications/Data/DAZ 3d 
  C:/Daz 3d/Applications/Data/Daz 3D/My Daz 3D Library

Now there are problems I'm having with this setup...

Problem 1: It can be very, very confusing!

As a recent example, I read on this forum the neat trick that allowed you to use G8 expressions on G8.1 figures. I tried it on my laptop (where everything is installed on the huge main drive) and it worked. So I also tried it on the tabletop computer...and it didn't work. I did the same exact things (zip and remove the two directories) and was at a loss...until I decided to make a search and discovered that on the tabletop computer, copies of the "base pose head" and "expressions" directories could be found in no fewer than three other places (IIRC, E:/Daz3d/My Daz Connect Library, C:/Users/Public/Documents/My Daz 3D Library, C:/Daz 3d/Applications/Data/Daz 3D/My Daz 3D Library)...I had to disable them all to make the trick work. I was this close to giving up or posting here for help.

Heaven knows how many other weird behaviors this complicated directory structure with stuff here and there is causing!

(Oh, and if you ask why I'm still using G8 and G8.1 figures in 2025, the answer's simple. As you noticed, I started in 2019 so it's a safe bet that I have collected a lot of assets specifically for G8/G8.1 - plus approximately 50 G8/G8.1 based figures I have personally sculpted and textured.)

Problem 2: Some assets are not happy with this split directory structure

The most obvious examples are UltraSceneryXT and UltraScenery2. No matter where I put the content, they just can't find it. They work just fine on the laptop where everything is on the same drive. (The good old plain UltraScenery works fine on both computers, although it renders very slowly on the tabletop one.)

So...I'm looking for your expert advice

What should I do? This obviously can't go on forever. I'm constantly running into issues most users don't have and can't help me with.

Is anybody else running a multi-drive setup? How do you handle it?

Any help and suggestions are welcome. I'm just hoping it isn't "nuke everything and install it on one drive".

Thanks!

These are the free items 

dForce Mouse King Cape and Accessories for Genesis 8.1 Male 

Tattered Kiplenut for Genesis 8 Male

and these ones are $1.99:

dForce Mr. Klaus Outfit for Genesis 9

dForce Reforged Outfit for Genesis 9

I really like this "countdown promo"; there are many items I've had on my wish list for a while.
I'd recently purchased some, like the Labrador, Old Jeb, and the Space Runner Outfit for Genesis 8 Female, and others, all very nice.
I also like this forum where everyone shares information about their purchases, because the two lists are very long, and I hadn't noticed some of the items you mentioned and are now on my wish list.
Thanks DAZ, I hope it continues, especially the free part.:)
