I think my laptop finally give up with recent version of DAZ . I just reinstalled everything from OS and DAZ Studio 4.15.30 from DIM .

its constantly Crashes when doing IRAY Preview with Vanila G8M DEV kit and simple shirt wardrobe ( I have not installing any custom morphs/characters yet ) , something which rarely happen in 4.15.0.2 

But since Im only have 4.12 as backup file , I wanna know what I will miss if I decide downgrading DAZ to that version ? G8.1  or anything elses ?

As information , my work mostly in 3delight/NPR/Toon and sometimes I`ve used DIffeo to export scene in Blender for EEVEE renders 

Thanks

    G8.1 won't load morphs from G8, and the PBR shader won't render properly.

    You'll go back to a much older version of Iray.

    Filament won't be there.

    Environment and Tonemapping parameters were switched to scene nodes in 4.14 IIRC, so they would be back where they were previously. That could cause problem if you try loading scenes you made in 4.14 or 4.15

    4.14 and 4.15 included various fixes which would be lost.

    You'd have to check if diffeo would work with 4.12 too.

    Also, 4.12 had problems with deleting keyframs in the animation timeline. Not applicable unless you use that.

    You'll go back to a much older version of Iray.

    And you'll see no difference on Iray speed. If you don't use Filament, G8.1 or PBR materials, and don't do complex animations then you would be good. But you'll want to switch up to the latest DS when they integrate Iray 2021.0.1 or later. Which is probably going to be DS 5.0. That said I know you use PWtoon and so you may still need an older DS installed to be able to work with that.

    Before going back, try turning down the subdivisions on G8 figures. They are turned up way too high for some of our systems.

    I've reverted from 4.15.0.30; it would crash at various times

    That is something that rarely happens as a rule.

    The native Daz studio timeline is very stable on my 4.12.086
    although I still use the Graphmate& Keymate plugins from Gofigure.

    The latest version of Diffeo works Flawlessly on my PC with 4.12.086
    even for animations.

    @nicstt @juvesatriani Did you try to whitelist daz studio with the anitivirus ? It may be the 4.15.0.30 unsigned exe causing troubles.
