Unexplained Distortion of some Genesis 8 characters
I recently switched from an Intel to an AMD Ryzen workstation and encountered this unexpected problem. Some of my Genesis 8 characters have had slight facial deformations, they're not immediately noticeable at first glance but after copying and pasting, the distorted version has the eyes slightly lower and face chubbier. I attached a Before and After picture to show what I mean. I did not alter the scene files in any way. When installing DAZ on the new PC, inevitably some files weren't transferred over (like uniquely customized textures and files under the 'data' folder), and when I opened a scene file, it will show a list of missing files, so I copied and pasted the required files from the old PC's drive until it shows there's nothing missing left - so I assume that it's not because I'm lacking a particular file. I also noticed that this distortion affects only some G8F characters, so it's probably not a common G8F morph that's causing the problem. I took a look at the Parameters and Shaping's Currently Used with Show Hidden Properties enabled, but I don't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary. What's causing all this??

An update on the issue:
- Zero Figure on the distorted figure makes it look exactly the same as a newly loaded G8F figure.
- Uninstalling and reinstalling all G8F body and face morphs didn't work.
- A newly loaded G8F figure has the following specs in the attachment, this is from Parameters, Show Hidden Properties enabled.
- Again, only SOME of the existing G8F characters in previously saved files are distorted, other G8F characters in these files are not.
- When I click on a distorted figure and then Zero Figure Pose, I then zero all the Hidden corrective properties, but the distortion remains.
- The hard drive from my old PC which contains all DAZ files was inserted into my new PC as one of the secondary hard drives (E:\). DAZ and purchased products were reinstalled into my new PC's hard drive (C:\). When DAZ prompts me that a loaded scene has missing files, I simply copy and paste the required files from the old PC's drive into the new PC's drive. I'm not sure if having two drives with DAZ files might've somehow led to this problem?
- EDIT (latest): My latest attempt: I went into a scene file with a distorted G8F posing, went to the Currently Used Parameters of the distorted figure with Show Hidden Properties enabled, Zeroed Figure Pose, then zero EVERY SINGLE PROPERTY to see if it fixes the distortion. It makes it identical to a newly loaded G8F. This made me think that a hidden posing corrective could be causing the problem, so again I did the same as above, but this time zeroed not only just the properties but also ALL hidden and posing properties. The distortion remained. Just what is going on here??
Please can somebody help, I'm really at my wits end!!
