Can anyone tell me please, is it possible to revert back to 4.9 old version?
I mean as in, before the new update because all this update seems to have done is totally wrecked all the textures and surfaces on all my saved stuff.
Every time I load up a saved scene or character now the render looks bloody awful and I'm having to mess around with all my surfaces AGAIN.
Thanks.... Jon T.

Did you save the previous installer or zip?
Is this General Release or Public Beta?
What problem are you having -- wrong settings, textures not found, UVsets wrong?
It's the official release, not public beta, I do have that also but don't use it as often as the general release.
After the latest update everything that I have saved, charactures, scenes, part built scenes......everything, look really awful and none of the texures or surfaces look anything like they did when I saved them under the older version of DAZ. After rendering now the surfaces and/or skin textures look terrible and I'm having to mess around with everything to get them to look anything like they looked before.
What do you need to change to get them looking right? And this is for scenes that were saved in a previous 4.9?
Yes, saves from the previous DAZ 4.9.
As for what I need to change, I'm not really sure yet because I've not been able to get the surfaces and textures to look anywhere near as good as they did when I saved them, particularly skin textures on my characters, they now look awful and dull and even the colors don't seem the same as they were.
Has the Render Engine setting changed?
There was a bug fix in 4.9 that makes textures with SSS different from 4.8, but I'm not aware of anything from 4.9.1 to 4.9.2.
I've double checked the settings Mike and the figures and scenes are still loading up with the original render settings that I saved them with so it doesn't appear to be a settings problem.
I've now also come across another problem which as far as I'm aware has also only started occurring since the new update, all my Gen3 characters that I've used 'Growing Up' on and then saved for further work now reload with really badly deformed limbs. Most noticeably on hands, fingers and toes - when the figure is reloaded from a save these limbs are now flattened and bent to all kinds of silly shapes and sizes. No matter how you 'reset' the limbs they will not work properly with anything other than default setting, I. E. - as soon as you try to move hands, fingers and toes from their default position they totally distort.
