Files Pointing to Wrong G8 Location

Hello, I had this recent issue where whenever I try to open any file, it would randomly say it cannot find the path for the base G8, which has never happened before. I tested to see if it was the files themselves being corrupted, as I asked a friend of mine to load the files and they load just fine.

I have tried to uninstall the entirety of Daz, from DIM, to the appdata folders, to registry keys, to temp files; it would just not work. I could create a symbolic link in the folders that the software is trying to point at, but that's just a hack and not a real solution.

    How do you install content? If you use Install Manager, do you work with Daz Studio connected?

    I install everything manually, I do not work with Daz connected.

    Did you have Daz Studio open when you installed? You sometimes need to do a refresh to have just installed products to show if something was installed under certain circumstances. I do it just out of habit when I do installs, except when I'm in DIM, because you can reimport your metadata from within the app, making it quite a bit easier.

    Each DSF file has a section to tell DS what that files "Parent" is, normally a bad "Parent" gives you three errors in the log, but when the "Parent" can't be found you also get a missing DSF message in DS, now DSF files with a bad "Parent" are not loaded by DS, which usually breaks part or all of the product.

    The first one is looking for G3F instead of G8F, even if you had G3F installed the product still wouldn't work right, I know of two products (sold here) that cause this, one of them eventually got fixed after I kicked up a bit of a stink, second one I have no idea if it's been fixed or not.

    Second error is strange, as that pathway is correct for that DSF file, so make sure you have an upto date copy of the G8F starter essentials installed as that file is in there.

    3rd and 4th look to be scrambled pathways, DS has no idea where to even start looking for those.

    Firstly check if the DSF files and texture maps really locate in those folders... I also suspect if you had the path of your Daz Library correctly configured in Content Directory Manager. Dbl-check it as well.

    Then try loading a G8F base figure into the scene, if the issue persists, attach your full DS log in here ~~
