After attempted uninstall of Turbo Loader G8/G8.1 no G8 face control.
I need to start with the fact that I did attempt to correct this myself over a three day period of time looking up in Bing/Google and Daz forum. I am unable to get this corrected on my own and need assistance.
To help expidite loading of G8 female base model I purchased Turbo Loader G8/G8.1. I ran configuration and added Icons and Menu to my Daz Studio. Then ran the scan recommended by in instructions. A total of 8,000+ morphs were found. A lot of the morphs (4460) were on C drive and the rest on E drive. (Note: A couple of years back I started adding and moving characters to E drive to save space on my 2tb NVME C drive. Because these were not installed by Install Manager but were downloaded from Daz as Zip / Rend as Zip and a few others as zip files I just unzipped and placed in correct folder.)
I selected a good deal of the C drive morphs and only E drive morphs that were packaged body morphs adjustments (as an example Body Factory was a selected moph). I started to notice right away problems with reloading previous work that had to deal with any morph in E drive. Daz looked for the address as a relative address and not absolute (something I missed in the instructions). I then made sure all morphs were on (enebled) and uninstalled TL. The relative issues remained not being seen as E drive. After the first uninstall I cleared the morph list and executed so no references would be left by TL.
It was at this point I noticed that my Daz 8 dials/controls for face were not showing when I loaded Daz 8 base female or any of my previous created items featuring a Daz 8 female. Any expressions in my Poses/Expressions were no longer working. Over the next couple of dayys I uninstalled Daz 8 female / reinstalled a couple of times with and without the powerpose. I removed from Content Directory Manager the entire referrence to E drive and perfoemed a database vacuum. I installed and uninstalled a couple of more time TL without success. I even upgraded my 2tb NVME to a 4tb and moved everything to C drive also without success.
I did notice that when uninstalling Turbo Loader the references for the icons remained and had to be manually removed under customize. Also a turbo loader folder remained on my C drive under ProgramData/Daz 3D/Turbo Loader with the follwing sub-folders Cache and Genesis 8 & 8.1 Female. Cache contained 2 files each over a meg titled Genesis8Female.txt and Genesis8_1Female.txt. Genesis 8 & 8.1 Female contained a sub-folder Enabled Only with a file InitialConfiguration.txt. I deleted the files which also did not prove helpful. BTW: I mentioned above after the first uninstall I cleared the morph list. When doing this no InitialConfiguration.txt was found. After uninstalling I deleted the remaining Turbo Loader Folder and sub-folders.
I have done mutiple searches for files under "Turbo", "Loader", "RiverSoft" and have come up with no additional files.
I have no idea where I originally screwed up causing my G8 female to no longer have face contrls. I need someone to brainstorm where something might have gone wrong and why I can no longer use/ and no longer see any controls for G8. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
