Can't download the beta twice? (Resolved)

maclean

I downloaded the 4.11 beta this morning through DIM, then after lunch my pc refused to reboot (Boot Device Inaccessible), so I ended up having to re-install windows. Argh!

Now when I try to get the beta again in DIM, it doesn't show up. Only the GoZ and Photoshop Bridge entries. I have all the right filters, it's just missing the beta entry.

Is it possible I can't download it twice?

Does DIM think it is already installed? Does it show up in the Installed Tab? Or the Ready to Install Tab?

There's nothing in the other tabs - only in Ready to Download (428 items) - and I've searched through it several times with and without filters, but no Public Beta.

And I re-installed windows from scratch, so I don't see how DIM would think it was already installed. The C drive was wiped.

I've only just finished building this pc, and without the beta, I can't render in Iray (RTX 2060), although I could use my old pc in an emergency. It's just slower.

Have you checked the Download Filters?

maclean

Tried with and without filters.

I even downloaded the beta zip (didn't know there was one, but it's on the product page), but it took so long to open, I gave up.

Got it. I'm not sure what happened, but I tried again a few mins ago and found the beta. Downloading now.

Thanks everyone!
