A 4.6 rant

IMHO the issues I've been experiencing since upgrading to 4.6 in hindsight is by far the most feature breaking upgrade experience since I started using Studio, and the bugs I submitted were all in mantis and I can't even find out if they're being addressed since mantis is gone from user access and the new bug tracker does not allow anyone outside the admins to look at existing reports filed by other users and the bugs I reported in zen desk I spent a week before I was told I should check back here to see if someone on the forums could address, then I was asked to file a bug report inside the bug report I had already filed in the first place.
my experience so far is that since upgrading from 4.5 my load times have gotten significantly longer, I have broken functionality in morph targets and a few other ones I lost in Mantis and at this point I've forgotten about.
I think Daz is investing on making a studio thats going to cater strictly to new content and earlier content is now off their radar which if this is the direction they're going they could have said something and I would have stayed with 4.5 and not had to fight with this wreck of the 4.6 release.

Niow I'm watching somebody showing me how to drink Scotch on youtube and that sounds like a capital idea.

    I've had some problems with 4.6 as well. Long load times. Difficulty opening files. Other odd glitches.

    I've only toyed with 4.5 don't like it, don't trust it. Not really excited about 4.6 either.

    I love my Studio3.1.2.32 (*purrrrr*)

    They wont reload after I save, some do, some don't, it's very specifici but there was a report filed by a group of us on Mantis and not sure what happened to it when I asked support to look it back up. I'm trying to be hopeful.

    I miss the concept of user beta testers that disappeared when 4.0 came out.

    paint just isn't as tangy since they took out the lead.

    and the thing it does where it looks like it's trying to save something while it's loading, have you seen that? what is that?

    I stuck with 3.1.2.32 as long as I could but Paolo C had to drop support to keep development of Reality and that's the only way I can render that seems to like me.

    From my perspective load times on 4.6 seem to be stuck on loading options clearing cache, forever. Then for certain files can take 15 minutes to 20 minutes to load. The application will also say 'daz studio not responding' for lengths of time.

    It used to work great.

    if I load a scene and clear it and it takes more than 1 or 2 seconds to clear that scene I now know to shut down Studio and relaunch it. I still don't know what causes it but it does seem related to files that took a long time to load as well that were not necessary any more geometry heavy than anything else I was using before.
