Hello,

I was wondering if someone cold help me with a problem I am having with DazStudio 4.9.1.30. I have installed the program and during the installation process I was asked to indicate the default directory where Daz content would be installed. I indicated it would be on an external drive. When I opened DazStudio and the Content panel it saw the content that I had installed but when I tried to load the content I got a message saying that the material files could not be found and it gave me no option to manually locate them. Why is this happening? All of the files for the product (which were purchased at another site and are Daz Studio only)have been manually installed into the content library as instructed. I have checked my preferences and DazStudio is supposed to be going to the proper directory for the content. The folders arrpear to be in the correct location but I keep getting this message: "Some assets needed to load the file were missing. The content my not work as expected." It then goes on to list a bunch of files in a Runtime textures folder that are in fact in that Runtime texture folder on the external drive. The only thing that it doesn't say is where it is looking for that Runtime texture folder. It should be looking on the external drive.

Any ideas what I can do to get things to work?

Thanks for any replies.

Have you installed the genesis base figures and the default resources?

What is it you are trying to load when it brings up the error?

Accessing your log file may also help to locate what is missing, Its under HELP/TROUBLESHOOTING/VIEW LOG FILE

Hi Razor42,

The products I am trying to load are called Freeway Overpass Road Set and Freeway Tunnel Road Set here at Renderosity.

A lot of the zips at Renderosity include an extra folder - Content or My Library - before you get to the level of the files and folders that go in the content directory. You want to merge the Data and Runtime folders from the zip, and any other folders at the same level, with the folders in your content directory as selected when installing DS - they should not be in a sub-folder of that.
