Time.What is still broken in Poser5?I really don't want to get excited and start using Poser 5 again,to find out it still is a big mess.Does this Patch #3 fix the majority of stuff wrong with Poser 5?Thank you.

Use Correct Reference to sort out the textures, search links here for what to do to make the walk designer work better, and it should be OK. I have been using it for five days solid (18 hours a day) without a single crash, but last week it crashed 6 times in an hour, so I am not going to say it is fixed yet. I never had Poser 4 so I can't compare.

I have P5 with sr3, rarely have a problem. I don't know what it was like before that. I still find P4 faster for some things, but it all ends up in P5 when I'm ready to do the final work.

I still crash when I add light sets. Very annoying if I hit render without saving first. For some strange reason when ever I use a full body inj I'll crash as well. P 4 2.66 gig of ram.

I find some light set are hard on P5. I turn the shadows off all of them, except for the couple I need. Daz light set are really bad for crashing P5, but turning most of the shadows off of them and they work fine. Full body injects, guess I'm one of the luck ones. I'm in the middle of a 6 V3's morph injected, with clothes, Wip. Haven't had a crash, fingers crossed, yet. I did create the characters in P4 first, then used them in P5. AMD 2.4Gb, 764Mb ram.

No problem with P5, no longer use P4 that's how good I find it...even if it is a little slower at a P4 render. SX200

funny how my only stalled crashed only occured when i would try to cancel a render while it was loading textures.. other then that i never came across a problem like most people with silly computers always complain about... but i do bicker with that fact on how lame hair and cloth room and quickly get for the impatcite

P5 SR3 never crashed while rendering,posing,calculating hair & clothes or while working with lightsets BUT the Setuproom is really still a mess ! I had strange results after reloading projects or working with the group editor - bonestructures were "re-arranged" and suddenly they are back to normal and so on...hope SR4 will fix it !
Still no OpenGL or network rendering support included :-(
My personal advice for u:it's ok to start again with Poser ;-)

P4 3.2 HT (overclocked to 3.4 GHz)
