Troubleshooting help needed: Scene load stops suddenly - Windows 10 "not responding"

Hi all,

 

switched to a still powerful mobile workstation(1) due to some computer maintenance on my 3D workhorse. Reinstalled the entire toolchain incl. DAZ from scratch (DIM).

Worked on a smaller scene, rebooted, then tried to load the scene again. Desired behaviour: the scene that could be edited gets loaded.

Actual behavior: DAZ stops loading the scene at an arbitrary point, after a bunch of "Could not find output property for formula" warnings like e.g.

(...)

Could not find output property for formula: Genesis8Female:/data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%208/Female/Morphs/Virtual_World/VWLashes/VWLashes%20Lower%20Large.dsf#VWLashes%20Lower%20Large?value in file : /data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%208/Female/Morphs/Virtual_World/VWAndrea/VW%20Andrea%20Head.dsf

(...), the nodes (?) get loaded and then the process stops at e.g.

2021-08-27 19:17:21.994 Loaded first morph deltas: 0m 0.12s - /data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/Female/Projection Morphs/DAZ 3D/Teen Raven 8/pJCMTeenRaven8_ShinBndBckR_HDLv4_proj.dsf<br /> 2021-08-27 19:17:22.016 Loaded first morph deltas: 0m 0.12s - /data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/Female/Projection Morphs/DAZ 3D/Teen Raven 8/pJCMTeenRaven8_ShinBndBckL_HDLv4_proj.dsf<br /> 2021-08-27 19:17:22.271 Loaded morph deltas: 0m 0.0s - /data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/Female/Morphs/Mousso/Blue/MSO Blue Lashes.dsf

and DAZ stops responding (for hours, e.g. 12+ hs), no further action. (2)

All I can do is killing the DAZ Studio process manually via Task Manager.

I'm aware of https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/336566/long-load-times-fixing-warnings, but changing the monitor didn't help.

 

Question to the experts: how could I troubleshoot this?

Any hints for workarounds?

Thanks for any suggestion.

 

Greetings,

Heckbarth

    Is this the General Release (4.15.0.2) or the Public Build (4.15.0.26)? The latter is known to have issues loading some scenes/loading scenes for soem users, the exact cause is still being investigated as far as I know - though it appears that GeoGrafts with GeoShells may be a factor.

    Thanks for your reply first, @ Richard!

    Is this the General Release (4.15.0.2) or the Public Build (4.15.0.26)?

    Sorry, forgot to mention, it's the Public Build. I'll try with the General Release then and report.

    Ok, didn't know that, thanks for the hint!

    Update: I was able to load the scene with the General Release (4.15.0.2), so thank you very much, Richard!

     

    To the interested: Before Richard's workaround, I tweaked around with the DSON Editor (https://www.daz3d.com/dson-editor) first just saving the file in the tool (which somehow strips parts out and helped me before): no changes.

    Furthermore I removed all references manually to the figure where I could find the last log entry: didn't work either.

     

    So  I'm more than happy to find this solution!

    Final update from: Scene is loading also with the Public Build (4.15.0.28).

     

    Thanks Richard Haseltine for your support!
