Daz4.9 crashes iMac every time- even doing the guided tutorial

Daz4.9 crashes iMac every time- even doing the guided tutorial --as soon a the "lighting a scene" sections starts when IRay is selected (per tutorial instructions)

All thoughts appreciated. But program is unusable.

OK, not DAZ Studio but the nVidia videodriver thart crashes, I suspect they have a problem still with 10.11.4.

On the other hand, I rarely see such crashes on 4.8 with an identically configured iMac.  Not never; but usually after I do something 'dangerous' like watch a video during an Iray render.

Or maybe I am supersititous.  In any case, I may put off installing 4.9 without further information.

Might be worth doing an experiment, Todd, of disabling the NVidia driver (which will disable GPU Iray), and see if you still get frequent crashes.  Just in case it's some other issue that is passing garbage to the NVidia drive, and would also pass garbage to the Apple driver.

Ostadan, one of the things updated in 4.0 is the version of Iray, so it isn't really a good comparison.
