Got a texture pack that I sat on for five weeks before I finally tried it, and all five variations on all of the outfit items come out magenta. (dForce Wander Outfit : Phantasm)

Where in the files should I look to find the correct texture files?

    Do you get any error messages? How ddi you install? Which version of Daz Studio (Help>About Daz Studio)?

    No error messages, both DIM and connect, 4.20.0.2

  • Found the culprit. All of the texture files are corrupted. I suppose I'll try uninstalling then reinstalling and see if that works. If not, how do I get ahold of the artist directly to bring it to their attention?

  • Reinstalling through connect solved it. Still don't have thumbnails, but the textures work. Case closed. :)

    Don't use both, that may cause problems.

    It shouldn't cause problems, but it certainly wastes space as the Connect files will be used and the DIM dffiles completely ignored.

    Sound advice. I just cleared out all the connect stuff and am re-installing now. Just rescued almost 100GB of space using only DIM. Thank you.

    The conflict between the two is probably what the problem was to begin with.

    Solved. :)

    Stick to DIM only. Don't let Daz Studio log you in automatically (Preferences) and don't log in manually. Then you will never accidentally install or update anything with Daz Connect. You went to a lot of work to clean up the mess. Those steps will keep it clean.
