Just in case no ones noticed yet the beta 6 patch has just been released for poser5, lets hope this ones a good un. MARVLIN

seems to be a good one, no complaints from here till now!

I have just rendered 5 images without any problems, the only problem so far was it didn't find one of the.obj in the scene, but I have have just installed beta 6 straight over the top of beta 5, so tommorrow I'll do a fresh instal of P5 and see how beta 6 runs, looking good, fingers crossed.

Ahh!... Hmmm!... Errr.. of course I knew that....I was just...checking..in case anybody had missed it. You can't be to careful these days, check and re-check that's what I say. :o)

...its late Autumn ;-)

Be wary of fresh installs. I tried it to purge my app of beta-5 and found that any directory that was replaced by the reinstall wiped out any existing textures or geometries that had been previously there but not included in the reinstall... it wiped out all in my Poser3 and Poser4 directories, both in the geometries and texture directories. I hope this glitch was covered in Beta-6

You would think by beta 6 that they would just call it Service Release 2 and go to SR3 beta . . . . That way maybe the next service release would be a little smaller for download, since we are downloading a good portion of the same information from beta 5,4,3,2,1. Just my 2 cents.

I think they are trying to keep the numbers low. I mean this would be SR7 if they didn't use the BETA thing. Seven service packs in a couple of months sounds a lot worse than two.

"a rose by any other name". . . I'm just thinking it would be easier to download a 5 mb fix instead of a redundant 20+ mb fix. But that's just me.

SR-6 seems to be a good un. Had the dragon and a couple of other high poly-high texture figures loaded, and it seemed to like them just fine. And they have turned on the recursive search for the textures again, which does make life a little easier. No crashes here.

since we are downloading a good portion of the same information from beta 5,4,3,2,1. Just my 2 cents. Then you would NEED 1,2,3,4,5 to get to six. What if you do a clean install then you would have to install all the patches not just the last one.

I suspect that if the previous downloads of beta were required, CL would post them separately. Since they pointedly do not, naming each successive patch with the same name, I rather suspect that the latest includes all previous. But, I've been accused of using logic too often,

All latest releases do include all previous releases.
