Starting daz a second time doesnt work

Loony

Hi,

I have daz open, but wanted to open it again to dforce there a subset, but... for some reason do i now stuck in "starting plugins".

I'm a bit afraid, what happen if I also close my current daz, will I be unable to open it also? ;(

 

atm. I am using the new Mesh grabber 1.9 beta:

maybe it doesnt allow double instances?

I could open daz today already 2x, but the interface got white like in my screen, no response "white".... so I killed it.

maybe that kill did now killed it complete? :(

You could try getting the beta, then you would have two independent versions. Note that going forward running two instances of the same version of DS will be handled differently - it's currently exploting that the behaviour isn't blocked, and can cause issues, but in future it will require delberate actions and will be made safe. As for now, I don't think you have any option but to force quit.

yeah I can't run the second instance... it worked well in the past, but not today :(

I am confused, why I was able to run in the past daz always 2x, but today not anymore...

I did now closed my dazstudio AND as I assumed... now it will not start anymore ;).... GG!

maybe a windows restart will help, but I assume the MeshGrabber 1.9Beta is the problem :)

Sounds more like a corrupted file of some kind, possibly as a rsult of trying to run a second isntance. This is one of the rare instances when I might suggest reinstalling DS.
