My DAZ Studio Keeps Crashing

1337388390

I recently had to replace my system disk due to a failure, and after purchasing a new hard drive and reinstalling DAZ Studio, I've been experiencing numerous issues. I can't open my previous .duf files. Sometimes DAZ will pop up a window to tell me that something has gone wrong, and other times, it just shuts down without any notification. It's not always the case - I manage to open it successfully about once every twenty attempts. However, even when I do get it open, if I try to manipulate any actors inside, such as rotating, it would still crash unexpectedly. This has been incredibly frustrating for me. I've got years of artwork here, and the thought of losing these assets is unimaginable.

Does anyone have any advice for me? I've checked my RAM, hard drive, and CPU, and found no hardware issues. I've also updated my graphics card drivers. My system configuration is: i9 13900KF, 4090 graphics card, and 64GB RAM, so I don't think this could be a memory shortage issue.

Any help would be much appreciated.

The crashing is probably graphic driver related - if your CPU has a GPU Daz Studio may well be using that by default, while before it was using the nVidia or AMD GPU (assuming you have one). You should be able to fix that, if so, in the control panel for the GPU that you can launch via right-click on the desktop.

If you installed your content on the C: drive it will now be missing. Even if not the record of what was installed and where would have been on the C: drive, and if you install through Daz Studio itself that woukd make the content invisible until it was reinstalled.

Thank you for your reply. However, my CPU is a KF model, which I believe does not come with an integrated GPU. Fortunately, I didn't install my content on the C: drive, so it has been preserved
