Missing File

andybrown

I don't know what happened, or what I might have done, but in the last couple of days, when I load a G8F figure, but not a G3F one, I get the pop up window that says I am missing the file

data/daz 3d/genesis 3/female/genesis8female.dsf 

At least so far I haven't noticed any problems, but how can I get the file back?

If it matters, I have not yet updated to 4.10, I'm still on 4.9 Pro.

Thanks

First of all, put in a ticket with Customer Support, and add a screenshot, so they can fix the problem.

As a quick fix, check the path in your runtime where the error message says it's looking for. There sometimes is a minor spelling error in the path name.

Create the folders of the path as the error message needs, then make a copy of the file from the correct folder and put it into the temporary folder you just created.

Bee,

Once again, thanks for your help.

All you should need to do is re-install Genesis 8 Female to get the file back I believe

I just ran into this same problem. I have two systems setup and neither of them have that file under genesis 3.

In case other run into this problem I thought I would pass on what caused this in my situation.  For me it was a 3rd party product that I had installed which appears to have a path issue in it. I copied the genesis8female.dsf that they placed under the data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 3\Female\Morphs\DAZ 3D\Female directory into data/daz 3d/genesis 3/female/genesis8female.dsf folder. 

 

The product that I had added was "hindudreams_betty-carique-for-g3-g8_78008"

Thanks for the fix, I too installed the Hindudreams Betty and got the same error did what you said and the error is gone

This solution worked for me: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/3417266/#Comment_3417266

Thank goodness! It's the second time that I've had to do that fix. I wonder why the file keeps disappearing.
