What to do, I installed daz 4.14.0.8 I can open it but when I close daz, then when I want open daz again it won't open, it opens only when I restart my computer.
Open the Task Manager, and look for DAZ Studio as a background process. Right-click it and select Terminate. You'll then be able to open DS again without rebooting.
This has been fixed in the latest Public Build:

Thank you :)
Hi there,I havnt read all through this so I dont know if anyone has answered this...My question is what has happened to poses and expressions in this update?
I gave up trying to use filament after the 6th time it crashed,and went back to Iray.
The poses eventually sort themselves out after about 5 mins,but the expression dials just dont cope at all.This has taken using this program to endless waiting hell! Has anyone found a solution. Im working in plain textured view and rendering in Iray and its agony!
Don't end process if DS iss till working. You can greatly reduce, possibly eliminate, the risk of it sitting there doing nothing by opening the Aux Viewport (from Window>Panes(Tabs)) and disabling the IPR Toolbar in the options menu (the lined button in the top corner, or right-click the tab). One that is done you can leave the Aux Viewport closed.
Guys I have a huge problem
RTX 2080 card, WINDOWS 10 64BIT v20H2 (BUT ALSO TRIED PREVIOUS ONE), 64GB RAM, CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600
I can't render with Iray on any 4.14 releases - public or beta. Last release I can do it without problem is 4.12.2.6
So here is the problem - Iray switches to CPU after a seconds or minutes.
I have this in my log " WARNING: ..........\src\pluginsource\DzIrayRender\dzneuraymgr.cpp(353): Iray [ERROR] - IRAY:RENDER :: 1.14 IRAY rend error: Error synching on OptixPipeline event (CUDA error string: an illegal memory access was encountered, CUDA error code: 700)"
I think I read all post here about this problem and tried all solutions posted here.
And what I can tell you:
I'm desperate right now. Can someone help me ?
Will a simple scene with a sphere primitive render?
Yes
It might still be supported (for products), but NOT for an update or download of DAZ Studio 1.14. D|S 1.14 appears in DIM and tried to download and update but the download fails every time and it cannot be installed. DAZ3D are trying to strongarm their users to use DAZ Central.There is no choice to update Studio except DC.I don't think many users will be happy about that. Just like Microsoft and Windows 10!
My Account/Product Library;
Since DIM and Daz Central download the same file from the same servers this isn't the case. I installed the last update to the Public Build through DIM a couple of days ago, and the previous updates to both before that.

I saved a copy of 4.5 and as I was having so much trouble with 1.14 I uninstalled it. When I installed 4.5 however it opens as 1.14 and Im back where I started. They have this control thing where they have changed the rules and we are stuck with it. I cant go back to working as I used to at all. This update is sticky,laggy and crashes a lot. I am very upset that Daz has taken all our money and given us a new crap version so they can keep tabs on whoever is using it. They should call it Daz Control instead of daz central. It only works in their favour,this way they can monitor all the different bridges and assets going out ,but we are left with something that doesnt even do what it used to do!
If you install through DIM, put it in offline mode, place the old zips in its Downloads folder, delete the .dsx files that have the same name in the Downloads folder (not the ones in the Manifests folder), and install. If DIM is online it will see and use the newer version (because DIM does work normally fro instaling DS updates still - any issues are down to external factors, possibly with the servers or perhaps account or security software issues).
Any word of if or when emissives will be added to Filament?
I don't think we ever get any information about future additions to Daz Studio. You can watch the change log to see what they are working on (scroll to the end), but it is "sanitized" with statements like "Source maintenance" to keep things secret.
Apparently they have to be "baked" to work in Filament. One thing that seems to happen is that HDRI light dome light penetrates walls with Filament even to the extent that I've seen a (bright) Dome actually come through a (dim) Backdrop. This may be because the shader setup on the backdrop is such that Filament treats it as transmissive, this certainly happens with some garments with Iray materials, so I don't know if it is a general property of the Dome or not. Anyway, it gives a second solution to emissive surfaces (the first being to supplement them with Scene lights); once a scene is set up with a camera use the camera to render a Dome in Iray consisting of just the emissive surfaces including the original dome (should be fast) then use this as the environment dome. I haven't tried this; so far I've just added new Scene lights, something that is pretty easy.

Quoting you because I need your help. Downloaded 4.14 on 2080 system liked results no need for a restore. On 1080 system tried downloading 4.14. Not liking the results deecided to restore to earlier 4.10 version. Daz was a mess. Tried three different restore points with same results. Here's what Daz look like. I have often installed and restored Daz in past no issues. What's with this? So I thought maybe it needs a workspace style. Nope. No dice.

The beta still works so it is not my PC.
So I updated to DAZ Studio 4.14 and it says it can't find any CUDA devices. I have two 1080Ti's. Did DAZ disable support for the 10 series? What's going on? Rendering with iRay just gives a blank screen.
edit: Ah, further up it says it needs v11 of GPU drivers. Installing those now.
That's strange. Was DAZ Studio updated such that multiple instances of it cannot be opened in 4.14? Or is this a bug?
edit: Nevermind, it's an intended feature all the way back to 4.12. Found a workaround :)
It looks like you were installing\updating DAZ Studio while it was running. Uninstall and make sure there is no instance running and then reinstall.
So why am I having issues with the Face in 4.14 & how do I fix it.
I am afraid not. Hours after closing with the "X" button, DAZ 4.14 won't restart, the only way to close it is the task manager or restarting the computer. I wanted to try Filament too, but i can't find a single tab that allows me to actually launch a render with it aside for the preview. I tad confusing. Looks interesting, but confusing.
Follow Richard's advice:

I cannot get this new verison to work! I try to build a scene eq I have Genesis 8 male in scene, I go to add clothes. I click on, say, pants and I get thrown out of the program. I tried to use smart content to install contnt I get thrown out. Soooo I downloaded a new copy of studio I tried smart content again. Tried to log in and out I go It won;t acknowledge anything. What am I doing wrong? I have a new computer running Win10, my firewall is good. Since the 'puter is 2 days old Daz is basically the only program on it. Any advice will be appreciated
