dforce crashing

in The Commons
Okay so even if I try to render one character with no background or props and one dforce object the thing snags on the very first screen simulating screen and freezes and never starts again. Doesn't matter if it is a dforce item or a plain item with dforce added. And if I click anything it gives that 'stopped responding' dialogue box.
The past week has been the first time I have actually had a chance to try dforce in 4.12 and its consistent. It happens every time. Any ideas on how to fix it or get a copy of 4.11 because that one at least runs it.

I believe 4.12.1.118 is the latest general release version so you could try updating, could also try the public build of 4.12 to see if the issue
persists, in which case you'd probably need to look at the logs to see what its doing when it freezes.
you could also try a clean reinstall, or see if there is some other method to remove and recompile the dForce kernals, perhaps disable the dforce simulation engine in plugins
and reenable it then try a restart.
Annnd it's still happening. I tried both the general and the public build. I uninstalled literally everything and reinstalled and it's still happening. I'm having my boyfriend make sure we're using the right GPU which I don't think would affect this anyway but I want to be sure. Any other ideas? I'm going nuts.
Not sure where to go from there, but other than pouring through the logs, you could try install the intel cpu only open cl drivers and try set the dforce engine to
experimental open cl 2.0

i could be wrong, but i think that apart from the studio application, there are some update supporting files that have to be installed to get dforce to work? the dforce intro thread might say.
then again, i could be wrong. but if you're crashing trying to similate one object, i can't imagine what else the problem would be.
happens to me a lot too and think it doesn't like more than one dforce item in a scene like hair and clothing
The other day, it happened on one of Linday's wet/dry outfits, that I was trying for the first time. I never had this happen before. Nvidia driver up to date too. I looked down, then up, no Daz Studio. Weird.
