Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 22 10:18 pm)
I simply want to know what it wants on the net ? It would be of use do do this once after startup or whatever - but so often ? Poser was not so aggressive in SR3. I blocked it now, but I will try to find out where it goes and what it does. Why should an application like Poser sniff around the net ? Okay it looks for other Poser copies on the net, this still does not explan everything. Mungo
P5 is checking the network to see if any other copies of itself are in use. If it finds another P5, it compares serial number and similar information, and if they match, it will not start. After that, it stops looking.

Um, I don't think the issue is whether you can block Poser's access to the Internet, but rather why is this happening in the first place?? Is CL really that paranoid that Poser has to check for another copy after every command? Why is is this checking routine even in the middle of the program? It should check once when the program starts and then let the user get to work.
My experience is that it does -- once it actually reaches the nets, it stores the info n a temp file and then stops. But if it is blocked, it keeps trying.

Basically this will slow down the whole thing - so if you block it it will loose speed because its trying. On OS X I will test it what it actually does (its easier than in windows) - but I have other things to do at the moment. This was just an observation I made after installing SR4 which made me nervous. I am fed up with keeping a network going and having all this trouble again and again. Stuff like this should be made explicit by the software manufacturer. Otherwise it just binds resources. Ever had a french hardcore server on one of your machines ? Mungo
Ynsaen is right. I allowed P5 to connect, it "looked around" for some thirty seconds, and then it loaded. I closed the app and restarted: no more attempts to connect. Now let's hope the info is not stored in the temp folder as I empty that very regularly...
I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now I'll be mad. (Rumi)
When I am working with Poser (SR3 - havn't got SR4 yet, waiting to see..) or any other program that doesn't need to use the net for that matter, I just unplug the net..:-)) (No ZA popups, no delays, no probs) Mind U, I'm a home user, not a pro in somewhere where all machines have to be online 24/7, so I can do it..

Although everthing works fine in SR4 for me, an old annoyance is back - Poser continally tries to accesss the Intenet - If you save something - Internet, if you move something - Internet, if you open a Python script - Internet - what the hell is this again ? Mungo
