MRL dForce Long Hair for Genesis 8 Instant Crash on Simulate

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I am seeing an instant crash when I load this hair onto G8 Female with no other clothing in the scene and hit the simulate button. I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing this.

    i also have problem with this dforce hair i have tried several times today  with different characters and poses without success ( error message, instant crash)

    I am contemplating a refund but I'd really rather get it working. Often times near the time of release it seems like I get corrupt installs.

    I tried this hair many times, even using  the default setup for G8 Female and default for the hair,  it crashes DAZ every time.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled the hair and the results are the same.

    Guys. I updated my NVidia driver and that did the trick at least on my laptop.

    Except now Connect won't install properly on my home pc. Everything but the scalp peices comes in as a big grey block. Fantastic.

    Updated my NVidia drivers, reinstalled hair and it still crashes DAZ Studio

    Late to the party, I know, but I have experienced the same issue. The first time I experimented with this product it looked and worked great! Since then I've had nothing but issues, most of which result in a crash if I don't kill the simulation right away. I've tried the default, smoother overall, strong and stronger presets. I also adjusted the tessellation as I noticed it looked like a flat piece of cloth every time I cleared the simulation. Not sure of the cure, but would love to use this product if a fix is possible.

    Same problem here too!

    I've been fighting with that hair for many hours (was my first dForce hair).

    One of the big settings that (for me) makes a difference between ok/horror show/crash is the Simulation tab > Collision > Collision mode.

    The only thing that works for me, with this hair, is "good". I usually reduce Collision Iterations from 4 to 2, double the speed and usually no serious difference in result.

    An effective slider is under Surfaces > local shape constraint stiffness ("how much it sticks to the base shape")

    When your hair looks like electrocution in progress, "collision response damping ~0.9" helps.

    Your problem may be different though. "Flat piece of cloth" doesn't ring a bell.
