Daz rollbacks
well I should have known better! I should have waited a couple of days to see what the forum comments were like. Yes Filament looks like a reasonable preview mode but at the cost of iray crashing maybe 50% of the time. You never know which hdri sets will cause everything to implode. It even seems a times as though the first iray render happens but as soon as you try a second iray render instant bug crash to desktop.
So please for all the people who havent the patience of saints can Daz put an easy to find link up for the last stable version before 4.1.4. I ve been trying to wade through forums the last hour and am none the wiser as to where I can find previous versions of Daz Studio or even which one to reinstall (think I may have been using 4.12.0.86 but not sure if this is the "best"

if you need an earlier version and didn't back up the application and plug-in installers then you will need to cotnact suport via a ticket. However, most people do not seem to be having this issue. reportedly one way to purge filament, albeit addessing a diffrent issue, is to set the preview mode to Texture Shaded.
thanks for the reply but having got back to a stable 4.12.0.86 for the future the only way I can see installing later versions of the software is on a test laptop first. Only allowing 1 version of daz to install on a machine is a real drawback in situations like this.
Two versions - one general release, one beta. However, soem third-party plug-ins won't work with betas, and it is conceivable that if the distance between the two grew too great there might be issuse with the shared Content Management System
