DAZ Studio 4.12 loading figures very slowly

vonHobo

I upgraded to 4.12 version of DAZ Studio through the Install Manager.

I noticed a few nice improvements, but one problem for me...

Pros:

Faster renders, faster viewport iray, more responsive in general.

Cons:

I noticed it takes A LOT longer to add figures to a scene, especially my own customized figures with any type of morphs, clothing, etc. whereas with the 4.11 version these loaded a lot quicker into existing scenes. Has anyone else noticed this?

If there is something I'm doing wrong I would like to fix this, it's painfully slow now to load figures for me. I'm actually thinking of uninstalling 4.12 and reinstalling 4.11 if that is even possible.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I can't say I've noticed any radical chnage in load times, for good or ill. One possibility, though it shouldn't be affected by the update to DS, is your anti-virus wanting to check each of the many files as it is read.

I noticed it the minute I upgraded to 4.12, so I don't think it's the antivirus. Also, the regular figures load quickly, just my custom figures with morphs applied are loading slowly. 

I will have to experiment to see what is causing this problem. It may not be anything to do with 4.12 as you pointed out.

I stand corrected on this. I added additional morphs and textures to my figures around the same time I upgraded to 4.12.

So it's just my figures that load slowly. If anything, I think the G8 figures actually load faster into DAZ v4.12. 

I guess you can only save so much to a figure (clothes, textures, shaders, hair, makeup, etc.) before loading it back into DAZ takes a lot more noticeable time, since it has to load in all those items too.
