Quote - do you suppose SR1 will fix the "not enough memory to load texture" error I'm getting all the time??

runtimes load correctly for me and renders are fine. But if i load more than one figure in the scene I get the  memory error - it's very annoying.

Please, nobody jump down my throat for what I'm about to say. I'm not making any judgements or jumping to conclusions. You can draw your own.

Here's the thing. I looked in the bug database. It looks like (looks like, mind you, don't kill the messenger) everybody with this problem assumed somebody else reported it. Only two people reported this problem. One of them found he had done something strange and rescinded his bug report.

The other was semidieu, who did not experience the problem himself. Rather, he saw all the posts at RDNA and posted a bug on behalf of all the others. Since he never saw a problem loading textures (nor have I), it isn't at all clear if the problem was fixed. Certainly some related errors were found, and SM speculates that the problem is resolved.  Semidieu cannot confirm it because he never saw the problem. Nor did any of the other dozens of beta testers, many of whom, amazingly, spend every waking moment testing Poser 8. (Some of these heroes who work with Poser 16 hours a day talk constantly with SM engineers, and are listed on the credits dialog of Poser 8.)

So, as far as I can tell, (again, don't bite my head off) SM do not know this to be a problem. Meaning, nobody doing Beta testing has this problem. There are clearly other users who have this problem, and they have written about it in public forums. (fora?) I'm not certain that nobody told SM, but usually when ratscloset gets a bunch of customer problem reports, he makes a bug report about it. I cannot find any such bug report.

If you did not report this problem and you have this problem, (shouting now on purpose) NOTIFY SM IMMEDIATELY. If you did already report it, thank you, and go report it again. Ask them to let you have a pre-release copy of the SR1 updater, so you can confirm that it fixes it for you. They may not do that, but right now, it's a total guess as to whether it is fixed or not, and SR1 is almost out the door!

I don't want trouble, people. Please do not beat me up. I'm trying to be as straightforward as possible, and I'm not making the assumption you're all lazy and stupid. I'm just telling you what I see. Facts only - no judgement.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
