3Dlight render crashes DAZ3D studio

robert_poirot

General Situation / History

I have been running Daz3d on windows7 32bit on virtualbox on ubuntu 14.04 LST for a few months, That was steady, but sliders and Jog's workt quote unpredictable. So finding workarounds to do some posing became a drag. On the  12GB I7 64bit computer i could run win 7 32bit on the virtual box with 8GB of RAM. So no RAM problems for DAZ3D studio. And no problem with 3Dlight rendering

Now i have re-installed that computer ( 12GB I7 64bit) with win 7 32bit as primary OS. Now Win7 32bit can only use 3.97GB out of the 12GB availabe (that is by design so nothing wrong with that) And i created a 8Gb ramdrive (using ramdrive plus) for Daz3D to store cache and temp files, making it run on steroids.

Problem description

In the new situation, i have several problems with Daz3d studio 4.8 32bit.

-1 In some cases, especialy hair, the texture is not loaded automaticly.

-2 sometimes textures are loaded corrupted, like torn appart.

-3 some  texture refuse to load

-4 Auto fit dous not work anymore , where it definitely workt perfect in previous instalations.

-5 Running a render with 3Dlight crashes Daz3d studio directly, or alter about 10% of the image has been rendered.
    In some schenes wit only 1 figure and verry few texture it might complete the render.

When i watch the error log there is nothing special there, and Studio says i have 2GB ram free to use, i thingk that is withing requirements (as 32bit windows can only adress 4GB there is no more to squeeze out of it)

O last but not un-inportant there is a NVIDIA GT 730 - 2GB graphic card, with latest version of the drivers in the PC.

Question

- What's wrong ?

- What can i do to repair the problem ?

32 bit systems are going to run out of RAM very quickly. Use Task Manager to monitor what happens when you render.
