Shaders Locking Up DAZ

I am having a hell of a time applying shaders in Studio! I go to apply them and it locks up studio time and time again....

Any ideas why and am I the only one having issues with shaders? Happened in 4.7 and now in 4.8 too?!?!?!?

    What is your procedure applying them? Selecting the surface, then double click the shader? Just drag&drop;?
    Have other things, like smoothing, completed before you apply the shader?
    Is it every time, or just specific shaders?

    My process flow: Select item in Scene tab and Surface under/in Surfaces>Editor tab and double click shader preset from Content Library.

    No smoothing do at all.

    Not every time but once it happens it locks Studio and I restart it continues (almost regardless of the shader I use)

    I have actually experienced this issue myself, especially after having DS open for long periods of time, for as long as I've been using DS. The only thing I've found that helps is to save frequently.

    I suspect it's a matter of memory. Eventually, there's just too many texture files in your memory and DS can't load any more, so it hangs and stops responding when you try, but saving will clear it and let you carry on.
