DAZ Central Hours Waiting for it to finish

DHaynie

I have run into several issues with DAZ Central.

1. The length of time for DAZ Central to load takes hours and I have very high speed internet connection over 400MB.

2. DAZ Central wanted me to Install a new version of DAZ Studio. This is a problem because I have DAZ folders across multiple drives and all of my custom settings were replaced with everything on the "C" drive. My library fills several drives that are more than 4TB.

3. The single install for DAZ Studio or the Install Manager are no longer available on the DAZ web site. 

Is anyone else having similar problems?

Look in your Product Library page. I know the green buttons are labelled "Download ZIP" but they actually download the executable installer files. Scroll down a bit more and you'll see links to all the starter freebies that come with the D|S program (handy in case there's anything you missed earlier).

It's a bit ridiculous the way DAZ continues to give the impression that Central is The Right And Only Way™ to install everything, especially when so many people are having problems with it. Central was never supposed to be a replacement for DIM, it's a cut-down, simplified beginners' version of DIM — and it seems to be especially glitchy with existing custom content setups in multiple locations, like you have.

I find Daz Central to be an impossible abomination. It just NEVER loads.

I wanted to install the new Daz on my laptop but couldn't find a way to do it without Daz Central.

Unfortunately I'd already deleted part of the old Daz via File Explorer because it doesn't have an uninstall facility and doesn't show up for uninstalling in Control Panel or even CCleaner.

I might download a copy of IM onto the laptop.

Many thanks to Richard for providing the link.
