DAZStudio crashes almost all the time on Mac OS Catalina

Hi,

 

My Daz Studio crashes almost all the time.
My Daz Studio version is 4.15.0.2, and when I stop the render process to save my images in JPG, PNG, etc... the application just close and I lost all the time it takes to render. My mac runs macOS Catalina.
Is there any DIY to fix, or Daz is planning an update do the Mac version?

Are you using keyboard shortcuts or explicit menu commands?

To stop the render process I just click in cancel button on render window or in the render progress bar (the crash happens in both of them).
To render sometimes I use Command+R to start.

Try using the render button instead ot Command-r; I was having the same issue under Mojave until Richard suggested using the button, not the shortcut. Thanks again, Richard, you saved my sanity... well, most of what's left, anyway.

Oops, I misread your original post and thought you were experiencing crashing when hitting Command-r, not when cancelling a render. It's been that kind of week.

Hi Walt,

Thanks to share your experience! I'm happy it's not a problema with my computer, and there is a way to avoid this crash!

After read your message, I did some render tests just clicking in the render button with mouse pointer, and til now everything is being ok! Render, cancel, render, cancel.. almost 20 in sequence and no crash!

Richard, thank you too for the insight!!!
