Hi. I installed both DAZ Central and DAZ Studio. I´m still logged in to DAZ Central and in my account on Website, but I got an error (ligging failed) when I try to connect to DAZ Studio. Does anyone know what's going on? 

Thanks in advance.

How are you trying to install content and what is telling you that they are already installed?

Incase you were not aware the two separate installers, Daz Install Manager (DIM) and Daz Central, use different paths and methods to that of Daz Studio itself which uses Daz Connect if you allow it to sign in. It is never a good idea to mix these as it will cause issues. If you decide to use DIM or Daz Central then you should sign out of your account within Daz Studio and stay signed out - likewise if you decide to use Daz Studio/Connect to install things then you should never install products via DIM or Central.

If you have been using multiple installers then after doing the above you will need to uninstall everything that was installed by the method that you no longer wish to use and re-install it with your preferred method.

I got the message on the Splashscreen. I freshly installed Windows 11 and made a Update.

The PQCMS is not working correctly. I got the actual version of DAZStudio.

I've not upgraded to win11 yet.. Have you checked cms status in DIM? that 'database button' in the upper right corner showing started or not? (white - started, gray - stopped) . If it's gray, click to start it... or try to fully re-install PostgreSQL package in DIM or using EXE file.

If you install using DIM (or Daz Central) it is a bad idea to then install using the stand-alone  .exe. Mixing methods is likely to lead to confusion and conflict.

How are you trying to install it? DIM, Daz Central, or manual?

I have some items I have purchased in the past that do not show up in Daz Central. Any idea what's going on?

Hello, i recently bought "Modern Military Outfit Props and Accessories" from daz3d shop.

i installed -unistall already (throught the central but also manually)  but the same thing still happens .. (i tried both male or felame gen8,)

thanks for you help.

Bought 'Ethnics for Genesis 2' by Cake-One earlier this week, and it's coming up empty of file content - so, when you click on the product, you just get the generic 'Where are my product files?' message.  So far I've tried installing it with Daz Connect, Daz Central, and of course DIM.  Any insight would be helpful.  Thanks.

If you did a Connect install (through Daz Studio) did you remove it before trying other methods?

I did, yes. I used the DIM uninstall and then ensured no files were left behind. I did the same verification for the Smart Content install method and the DAZ Central method.

That won't have touched any files installed through Daz Studio itself, and even if it did it wouldn't remove the references to those files from the database so DS would keep trying to load them and ignore a DIM installation. If you want to get rid of a product installed through DS it needs to be uninstalled through DS too.

Many Out of Touch hairs have been updated, though instalaltion order or having multiple Runtimes (or Connect installs, depending on order) may lead to the wrong shared file being loaded.

Richard,

Would uninstalling all of OOT's hair products in DIM and then reinstalling them help? Or are there additional, 'common files' in the Runtime folder that would also need to be replaced?

If you ever intentionally or accidently installed any of the OOT hair products from inside Daz Studio (Daz Connect), those MUST be uninstalled from inside Daz Studio, or any changes you make to DIM (uninstall, reinstall) will be completely ignored by Daz Studio. Any Daz Connect installation takes precedence over any manual or DIM or Daz Central installation, regardless of which package is newer or more recently installed.

In the Content Library pane, under Daz Studio Formats>Content directory you isntalled to, do you have People:Genesis 8 Female:Characters:ElianeCK:Momo?

I see everything up to 'ElianeKC' .. that is missing so Momo is too.

Should I try a manual install or report this? I've tried installing using DIM, Daz Studio Smart Content, and Daz Central. I've uninstalled each time. As I said, I just haven't tried the manual install, I'm a little afraid of that since I'm not sure how to do it. I was a whiz with Poser, just not with DAZ.

Well ther goes DAz. It can't seem to find the inataller in either Daz Central od DIM. It tells you its installed but when you try to launch it through either of these you gat a messgae stating that it couldn't find an install package. So there goes Daz. Great work guys every time you do an update we end up tearing our hair out. Nice

Sounds like it has been zapped by an antivirus or antimalware app. Check that these paths (depending of your OS version) exists and the files inside

C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4

C:\Program Files (x86)\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4

Ooh, something different.  I live about the length of an American football field(100 yards/meters) away from the train tracks in town.  I've pretty much learned to ignore trains when they go by.  But they're always travelling slowly (about 15-20 mph) through town because of the wicked curve on the west end of town.  Most of the trains are short (i.e. less than 10 freight cars), but sometimes it's a long, long, long train of tanker cars (either empty, off to the oil fields & refineries of central NY & Pennsylvania.  Or full, on their way to the midwest cities).  

But yesterday, I noticed a very slow moving train with squealing brakes, and clattering clunking wheel & hitch noises.  I didn't think anything of it and ignored it for a while, but it went on for more than 10 minutes as the train slowly, slowly stopped.  I finally braved the cold and stepped out on to my porch to checkout the train.  It was, a string of tankers, it was stopped.  It was there for hours, blocking the only road heading south out of town.  The nearest other crossing is 2 miles west or 3 miles east, making a complete detour, heading south, about 8 miles either way, and wandering on possibly flooded and/or icy, 3rd class roads through the hills & swamp, in winter, after a major thaw, followed by a massive snowstorm. I finally forgot about it and noticed that it was gone this morning.  I don't know what the problem was, but I bet there were a lot of pissed farmers and people from south of town who wanted to get into town or at least to the connecting main road to the city.  Wheee... excitement in the deadlands.

...we have a crossing like that in on the inner southeast side of city.  The detour is not as lengthy but still a bit convoluted. thanks to the fact the line turns southward shortly afterwards. It is by far the busiest line in the city with a freight trains going through at a relatively good frequency.  Some are long and they have to low down for a curve and slight grade right at that point. Sometimes it's not one but two trains one northbound and the other southbound. which requires one of them to stop blocking the crossing at major street for a long time.  This also causes a backup along a street that parallels the tracks in this area. due to traffic trying to turn south being stalled. It's a real mess.

I used to take a bus to work that had to deal with the crossing and feared hearing a train horn while waiting at the bus stop, Finally, after all these years the transit commission had an "aha" moment and is rerouting the bus this May to permanently bypass the crossing.  Of course I no longer live in that neighbourhood but still nice to see they finally got a clue.  However when it came to the new BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) line they opened up last year, they dropped the ball again by having it cross that same rail line a couple blocks west. Right, an "express" bus route  that has to deal with frequent freight trains, seems they have short memories.  For over a year I suggested they should have gone with the original alignment that would have avoided the crossing and put the line on a 4 instead of 2 lane street, throughout its entire route, but then, I'm not paid the big zlotys to make such decisions.

I have exported the custom head morph from facegen artist to the correct folder for genesis 8.1 head morphs as shown in the picture. However when you open Daz Studio and select a genesis 8.1 character then shaping - head there is no slider for my custom head morph. This makes no sense since the folder is showing the head morph file present inside the correct directory. Daz central and Daz studio preferences - content is all set up to the correct directory. I have tried reinstalling daz multiple times and restarting my computer after installing it to no avail. What is the solution to get my morph sliders showing in Daz?

That was installed through Daz Studio itself, and at a guess did not decrypt properly though it could also be a packaging issue. Content installed by daz Studio goes in /data/cloud/1_SKU/ (where SKU is the product number). If you want to instalal through Daz Central there is no need to have Daz Studio working online, and you will end up doubling the files if you use both installation methods. Try uninstalling the DS install (right-click on the product container, in the products tab of Smart Content or in the list of containers under products in the Content Library pane) and see if the Daz Central install then works.

Greetings,

I'm very new to Daz3D and I'm running into a issue when it comes to texture loading. A asset by the name of "The Fighting Ring" for instance always messes up to load in some textures for the ropes of the ring itself.

Whenever I try to find the textures manually, I notice that the location path doesn't match up with the naming of where Daz expects it to be. Keep in mind that there's only one folder that even contains anything related to that asset to begin with. I'm honestly at a loss, as this is the third time in a row this happened. Even uninstalling Daz, or literally installing everything from scratch on a new system doesn't fix it.

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I need help with folder structure in Daz Stidio (4.21) I have installed some items manually, using Daz Central, and Daz Install Manager, but when I go into Daz studio, I struggle to sind things, even when I search within Daz the item doesn thsow up any where.  I can do a search in windows explorer and can fine the iten that way, but pretty sure thats not how thing is supposed to work.

Also, when I try to add an item to a character, quite often it would come up with a list of items that Daz studio couldn't fine or the items listed could not be located.  Some time I try and drag and drop and item and it would only flash and nothing else happens.

Looking at the folders in Documents, Daz, Studio, My Library.... can someone tell me what folders or files should I see here.  for instance, under My Library is the Content folder, what folders should be in the content folder, what folders should be in the Runtime folder?  I think once I understand what goes where I will ne ok.  

Thanks

Either in your Product Library here under My Account -- Product Library--then in the filter box search: "daz studio 4.x pro" and download IM00013176-42_DefaultResourcesforDAZStudio420.zip, then unzip it and install it to where ever your DS content library is on your computer. OR, if you use DIM to to install your content, search for it in there and install it, I don't use DIM so I cannot tell you exactly how to do that. I don't use Daz Central either, but I'm sure you can use that to search and install these default resources, but again I don't know how exactly since I don't use that.
