Genesis 8.1 looks broken
Hi.
I have a problem with my genesis 8.1 characters, I hope someone can help me with. 
Everytime I load a Genesis 8.1 character it looks all wrong and I get this error message: "Duplicate IDs were found while reading the file see the log file for more details."
All of my content was installed with the DAZ Install Manager.
I don't have any problems with Genesis 8 characters.
Heres some pictures I made.
A render of Genesis 8.1 basic female I made (left) and how she's supposed to look like (right).
Her lips, jaw, nose and eyes looks wrong.
Have anybody else experienced similar problems with Genesis 8.1 characters?

Duplicate IDs or Duplicate Formulae? IDs would eb very surprising with new content as daz Studio was long-since fixed to address the main cause, whereas formulae is usually justa cofnlict in name between two characters 9at least oen of which would be a Genesis 8.1 Female character). Help>Troubleshooting>View Log File should allow you to find the problem report(s) if you search the text file for duplicate.
Thanks for the help.
Found some morphs DAZ didnt like. Removing them got rid of the "Duplicate IDs" message.
It didnt get rid of that distorted look my 8.1 characters have, though.
Heres Mia in Genesis 8 and 8.1 versions.
The 8.1 version looks strange.
Maybe it's just me.
If you select the G8.1 version, zero the figure to make it look like standard G8.1 and select "Currently Used" in Parameters Tab, what does the list of dials look like?
All the values should be zero, but which dials have the zero in white?
The list of dials in "currently Used" looks like this:
Legacy eyelashes curl
Legacy Eyelashes Length Lover
Legacy Eyelashes Length Upper
Vo Xiao Mei
AFE PowerPose
AFE Skin Bumps Master
Erevan Airy Head
AFE Master Controller
The dials in white are:
Legacy eyelashes curl
Legacy Eyelashes Length Lover
Legacy Eyelashes Length Upper
Vo Xiao Mei
AFE PowerPose
Also when I zero the figure (Mia), it looks like what the Basic Genesis 8.1 female should look like. But when I load the Genesis 8.1 Basic Female directly, it looks distorted.
That means "VO Xiao Mei" is the culprit, she has been distributed with a non-zero default value.
To fix any ill-behaving (non-zero default value) morphs, do as follows;
1. Open DS and load "Genesis 8.1 Basic Female" (to an empty scene)
2. Right Click at Parameters Tab->Preferences->Choose "Show Hidden Properties" (part 3 zeroes only 'visible' dials)
3. Right Click at Parameters Tab->Zero->Zero Figure (Zeroes the value of all the 'visible' dials)
4. Right Click at Parameters Tab->Memorize->Memorize Figure (Sets the current value of all the dials as their default value)
5. Edit->Save As->Support Asset->Save Modified Assets (Writes the changed default value to the morph files that were changed)
When saving "Modified Assets" DS shows a dialog and asks for confirmation;
"The following file(s) will be permanently modified:" - "Accept/Cancel" - Choose "Accept"
It seems a character wasn't saved correctly and it's loading at full value by default. Try uninstalling "Vo Xiao Mei", restart studio and load the base Genesis 8 female. If the problem is resolved, you'll need to file a ticket explaining that Vo Xiao Mei gets loaded into every character by default so they can issue a fix.
Thanks guys... Worked perfectly.
Afraid I'm still a bit of a novice when it comes to all the nooks and crannys of DAZ Studio.
I had the same issue with a fingernail morph in 8.1 It was always loading. DAZ Support sent me a file to read out all morphs so i could find the bugged morph and could fix it in the duf file.
