Having to kill the Daz studio process manually in Task manager

aedonix

Am I the only one this is happening to? Am I doing something wrong? or have something wrong in my set  up?

After a period of use, Daz will fail to do simulations, or render properly, at which time I will close the program in order to re open it, but before being able to re-open, I still have to go into task manager and kill a remaining Daz process before being able to load up again.

 

Is this normal?

It is normal, but you don't actually have to kill it. If you watch it, the memory consumption will slowly decrease. Once it gets down to zero, the program will close. Soemtimes this takes a few seconds, sometimes over a minute. Daz has some memory issues, the longer you use it, the more memory it holds on to, and it then doesn't allow that memory to be allocated to renders. This is what's happening when simulations and renders start failing or rendering as black screens. Or so it has been explained to me.

Closing and re-opening just resets Daz so that it's not holding onto that memory any longer.

You can also open a second instance, under a different name. Daz Studio Pro 4.12 - instances
