DAZ settings defaulting after upgrade?

TATSU 3D

Hey everyone,

After a bit of an upgrade to my PC, I have loaded up DAZ and find that for some strange reason my render settings always open to the default settings.  I have to manually change the 'dimensions' settings to my preferred size (it currently always opens set to default) and I didn't have to do this prior to my hardware changes.

Also, the 'box' or 'border' that signified my render window in the main viewport no longer shows - even after I change my dimensions setting.  If I open a scene that was created prior to my upgrade, I get a box of sorts, but there is no border, just outside the area is slightly darker.

Worth noting that I haven't re-installed DAZ or anything, its on the same OS installation as before, only the hardware has changed.

 

Not sure if PC specs are neede but in case it helps, my current  Machine specs are:

Windows 10 Pro // AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12 Core Processor (3.7 GHz) // 64GB DDR4 RAM // 2x MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Trio 11GB

 

Thanks in advance. It's not stopping me using DAZ, it's more of a mild annoyance!

For the box, check that Show Aspect Frame is on in the Viewport option menu (the lined button at top-right, or right-click the tab).

Are changes you make to the layout being remembered between sessions?

Checked the first part, and I have my box back! :D

Yes, i can change the layout and reorder tabs as I please and DAZ remembers these.  It's literally just the default render settings (I usually leave it set to render in Ultra HD) but it's currently always set to 'Default'.

Just a quick update, after opening DAZ this morning, I have had to manually enable the Show Aspect Frame option. So whilst DAZ is remembering my UI layout preferences, it's not remembering any other settings - render settings etc.

That is very odd, I'm not at all sure what to suggest.

There are preferences that need to be set to remember some of these settings. Others need to be saved as a layout.

Do you know where these settings may be found?

No worries Richard, thanks for showing me how to turn on the aspect ratio box at least! :)

Most things are in Edit>Preferences (various tabs). See Screenshots. You may wish to preserve your layout with options in Window>Workspace. Your Viewport settings should be preserved when you quit Studio.
