Just been to CL`s site. Sorry e-frontier & I have just downloaded SR1 for P6. Its about 24MB & zip format. Just about to install.

OMGOSH!!... :-) You have link?

can't find it on the site only see the content updater, checked both platforms.

Great News !! Lets see if it works as promised....

Just go to www.e-frontier.com & follow the links. Installed without a problem. Sorted out one of the problems I had when using large animation files & lack of response from the keyframe editor. Keyframe editor responses immediately

Got it now to see the difference i hope.

Otaku Check again. I know after I dowmloaded & went back it only showed two files available. But or revisiting it was back.

OHMYGOD...it's here...(tears in eyes).... Now lets see if it works.

Where?????? I only see Poser 6 content updater and P6 tutorial files!!! 8*(

I suppose that "soon" meant "soon" after all.......

I'll have to wait until late tonight to download this and try it out.

Thanks to EF (formerly CL) for getting the first service release out to the user base.

Ya done good.

I'll reserve judgement on the effectiveness of it all until after I've had a chance to work with SR1 for a while.

This makes me happy.

Now we can all start whining/making legitimate complaints (depending upon approach & attitude) about SR2!!!!!!!!

Wonderful!!!

Thanks again.

Ya'll must be blinking painfully in the sunlight -- after living in a cave for the last few months.

You'll probably need to use sunblock for a while.

The first time I clicked on the link I saw the update. Tried to download. Access denied. Registered. Tried again. No update. I wish those morons would learn how to code a frikkin' website properly. I'll tell you right now, it doesn't matter when or if they come out with Poser 7. 6 is gonna be the last version I ever buy. I'm done with those idiots. Kate the Fed Up Consumer

Well, What do I say? I'm long passed swearing! 'Just went to download SR1, entered CORRECT serial as requested then get 'ACCESS DENIED' I have allready registered and had acceptance but registered again anyway only to go back and find only 2 available download's NOT SR1!!!!!!!!!!!!!

uh, oh.........

Wow it looks like they fixed A LOT of stuff, no wonder it took so long. let's just hope it works! :)

CL.... GET YOUR FRIGGING ACT TOGETHER!!! Now I'm REALLY P*&%""!*SD!!!!!!!

Hi guys, It's being staged now through our web people and tested for download. Some of you snuck in there at the most opportune time. Anyways it will be up soon and we'll make an announcement on the site and I'll post here to let you know it's all ready to go.

Thanks again.

EFSteve (I was just getting used to CLSteve) :)

Anyways it will be up soon.... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH.....THE DREADED "S" WORD :-D

OOOH, There's that 'SOON' word again!

he he... me got it.. the rest of you will get it 'soon' ROFLM

Oh, well.....that's what a non-official announcement will do for you.......

Thanks anyway, EFSteve.

At least we've had tangible evidence of SR1's existence.

I should have snuck when others sneaked......

;)

he he... me got it.. the rest of you will get it 'soon' ROFLM

You've gotten the untested version.

Maybe it'll crash your hard drive for you.......

Hee Hee Hee........

"It's being staged now through our web people and TESTED for DOWNLOAD..." Downloaded fine for me and... more important it WORKS..!

Ah, that would explain it. Only see the Content updaters in there ATM. BTW - I understand the desire to prevent piracy by requiring a serial # and all if one isn't already registered with the CP site, but what of us who prefer to suck down files on a fat, juicy fiber connection @ work (w/ permission of course), instead of a slower home connection? Run home and get the serial #? /P

I am not sure where you found that SR1 but on EFs site is nothing about the SR1, only a link to the Content Updater and on Content Paradise is nothing either.

Ummm ... maybe it's a game and they test my intelligence. Maybe I am only eligible to get the updater when I am able to find the hidden files?

And I wish they would stop putting the objects of their freebies into the character folder. I wonder if they forgot that P5 and P6 allow subfolders and when I stuff it where I want to have it I have to edit the object and texture path each time >:(

Run home and get the serial #? That's what I am probably going to have to do. That's OK. DSL at the office, cable at home. I don't have Poser here anyway, so it doesn't matter. It'll take maybe a little over a minute to download 24megs at home.

Downloaded fine for me and... more important it WORKS..!

Determined that pretty quick, didn't you?

I'll reserve judgement on whether or not it works until after I've used it for 3-4 days or so.

You might want to run a check on your C: drive......one never can tell what the results will be with these untested patches.........

;)

Ummm, wow... I wanted a memory leak fix... And I got a revamp! Nice work EF! And thanks for the update Steve. It's nice to see you guys are on the ball enough to see that people were having a problem, and that some had already noticed you guys were on the move. BTW all, soon is the new black...

• of fixes. :] Fish

.

I already have it on my Poser 6. ? I didn't do no sneaking read it here and then downloaded it. So far it works, opens. :O) Steve I did not sneak.!!!!

I think the sake did the trick...when EF took over, they made sure the software engineers in the caves had enough sake to work with.

..

SAKE SAKE SAKE SAKE SAKE SAKE SAKE SAKE SAKE SAKE! (Machineguns whole forum) This has been a reference to the great classic anime project A-ko... please return to your normal browsing... nothing to see here.

adh3d: Read post #22 clever nick BTW. I like it.

ok, I didn't read that post, it is now clearer. thanks.

Watching the memory bug reminds me of someone with a case of the crabs......

I've heard a rumor that SR1 shampoo helps the problem out tremendously.

"Watching the memory bug reminds me of someone with a case of the crabs......" Every time it says out of memory they jump around the room uncontrollably and flop around on the floor? Or just scratch a certain area and wonder what happened? :)

and then post in the forums: "I have crabs! I have crabs"! LOL...
