Anyone else problems with 4.9.4 version?

I downloaded the new 4.9.4 version and have issues already.
1) Double click no longer seems to work to select a joint in model. Used to click upper arm for instance and in posing have option to twist, bend etc. Now the double click while it highlights that joint is not producing those pose options as they did in prior version.
( is there a setting that needs to be changed in the new version to get that back? )
2) Did a test render of a plain single actor using default settings and the resulting image is blank?
Thankfully I have copy of the prior version I can install but this is a pain!

Can't say on the first one, but the second one is easy; update your video drivers if you have an nVidia card. Iray needs drivers at a certain minimum level or the black render is what happens.
Not black. blank. No nvidia temporarily. Im waiting on new mobo to build dedicated machine. But this is the same machine I used before having nvidia card and it used to render, though slow. No errors or anything just says it's done and the image is blank (not black).
The first problem went away after I restarted DS a couple times. Not sure why.
Also note that DS even when shut down seems to leave itself running in the background. I have to use Task Manager to kill the process each time. But I had that with the prior version as well.
Guess I will wait till weekend when I have new board and build my new machine.
Double-click has never been a supported behaviour in PowerPose, so that isn'ty an issue with 4.9.4 - I thought you had already posted on that in the beta thread. Perhaps it is being read as two single clicks?
DS can take a while to close, especially if you've had a morph-heavy figure loaded (or anything that uses a lot of resoruces).
For rendering, make sure that your CPU is checked in the Advanced tab of Render Settings.
No issues here. Win 7 64 Bit. GTX 980ti Nvidia driver 372.90
likewise, no isues... yet.
Anyone having problems with V4 ? I see her there in folder using explore, but 4.9.4, it's not showing in contents menu...All genesis show...nothing for V4 or any derivitive.
For some reason, the new 4.9.4 version crashes 9/10 times when I try to load an older scene using the .daz extensions. They were able to load fine before the update. I've been in the process of updating older scenes and now suddenly I can't.
Just got rid of everythng Daz from drive including regestry. Did a complete reinstall and also got V4 from my products page and reinstalled her. Still nothing in content menu.
ARRGGGGG
Loaded the beta. Didn't see any of my custom categories. Still on hard drive, beta just didn't see them.
Fixed that. Rendered old scene. Lots of grey boxes.
Beta wasn't seeing content from other providers. Still on hard drive, etc.
Fixed that. Rendered old scene. BUT!
This time I had updated NVidia driver first, and rendered some scenes in 4.9.17 (?) before trying beta.
Results:
4.9.17: 2156 iterations, 21 minutes 0 seconds.
Beta: 2146 iterations, 23 minutes, 40 seconds. Slightly brighter. No other noticable difference.
Beta version averaged 15% longer to render all scenes.
1500 iterations with new drivers in 4.9.17 looks same as 2100 iterations in 4.9.17.
So rendering to a satisfactory appearance will be quicker with new NVidia drivers.
Not so much with beta.
Sticking with 4.9.17.
Thought had 4.6 still aound...nope. Went to my order page and wanted to re-downoad 4.6 but it keeps changng to 4.9...............I WANT 4.6 !!!! Anyone know how to get an older ver ????
The download from Daz will always be the current build, if you want to have access tomolder versions I'm afraid you need to make back-ups before downloading a new version.
