I just loaded the beta patch on and found that two severe problems have not been corrected: the C exception is gone, but in it's place the interface disappears and the scene file still doesn't open. This happens with scenes that have been saved with the bikini top&bottom that comes with Poser as well as Phil Hokasai's hip and thigh boots (and other clothing). Also, I see no change in the render problems; still can't render a large picture to a separate window and the movie render option to save as images only allows you to save using the current display settings. This means you can't obtain high quality rendered frames.......I sent all this to Larry in an email...... Krel

Forgot to mention I'm using a 300MHz Pentium (Dell) with a Windows 95B O/S and 128MB RAM...... Krel

I have done all these things post-patch, wonder if it's just hardware related? Athalon 550, Voodoo Banshee, 256 meg ram and not ONE problem since putting on the patch :) -Darth_Logice

I think it might be hardware related. I'm running PII-400 with 128Mb and dual boot (Win98/NT4) and haven't had any of these problems post-patch. And it fixes that damn' "loss of focus" problem... ahem. Paul

I haven't had any of those problems either. 450 AMD Win 98

What loss of focus problem?

You know when you've got a figure selected and you add another figure/item of conforming clothing then start to pose it/conform it and you find you're actually posing/conforming the first figure? (deep breath) THAT loss of focus problem Paul

I've noticed that with transparencies on clothes (esp. variants on the leotard) the sketch renderer will only do the "Default Sketch", no matter how much tweaking you do. Delete the conformed trans-mapped clothing and your sketch renders real purty. Is this a bug, or do I need to tweak something else? Gary Seven

Codeman, what you are saying sounds important, but I'm not sure I follow you. Is there a problem with the Patched P4 reading CR2's, generating new Cr2's, or responding correctly to an edited CR2? Or nothing like this at all? I want to know what's happening before I install the patch.

Krel - Have you tried turning off the display-ground shadow option? I know they said they fixed this but that's not confirmed. That sometimes crashes.

Well, I'm still having problems.......it can't be a hardware problem because I can use other clothing just fine. The bikini top and bottom and the women's boots have this problem, other clothing does not. The operating system could be making a difference, but I would prefer not to move to Win98 (hoping my next O/S would be WinNT). Krel
