Sudden Auto-fit issues

Cinnatwist

Of all the features in Daz over time, Auto-fit has never been one to give me problems until this last weekend.

My OS (Win 10) harddrive failed, so I bought a new one a got things up and running again. Fortunately, all of my Daz data/projects were on a separate drive, all except the My Documents folder and contents, so I was able to just re-install Daz and jump right back in to the mix of things ... except for some odd behaviour here and there. Auto-fit now takes a very, very noticeably long time to complete, now showing itself with a new "Converting Item" loading bar that wasn't present before when using it that will stall (every time) at 72% for nearly 30 seconds. This adds up to a lot of wasted time for a mechanic that once took 10 seconds max before, and makes me avoid using legacy clothing at all costs now. This also stretches further to how I am noticing that a lot of auto-fitted clothing also no doesn't seem to have as effective of a fit when used.

There have actually been more than a few noticeable UI and preformance issues since using Daz on this new OS (also Win10), loading bars that seem to pop up everywhere now,

Any ideas? I would really like to comfortably use Auto-fit again.

The slowdown might be related to how many morphs you have installed. If you have content organized under different root folders, you could probably speed up Daz by simply removing those folders from Daz Studio's content manager so it can't see them.

I personally put all Daz essentials, such as Genesis base characters, in their own folder, so Daz Studio will at least work if I remove any miscellaneous folders.

Can you elaborate a bit on this recommendation? How you do it, so on and so on? If this is my problem, I'd love to properly fix it and this suggestion sounds viable.

It might be a database problem.  Maybe when re-installed Daz Studio, your database got purged.  There was a recent thread about something like that:

But I'm not very familiar with how databases work behind the scenes though.

And I've always organized my content that way.  If you have everything under one folder now, then I think only the Daz 3D Install Manager (DIM) can uninstall and then re-install your content to somewhere else without breaking things.
