How're things going Cr8tive M3dia ?
Not good.... well actually I can't really complain... the issues I am facing a far less than others have to go through but.... I purchased a new pc not too long ago and after a little while it completely stopped rendering images... Found out that my CPU was actually doing all the rendering and DAZ does not seem to recognise my GPU at all. Have even had a PC specialist take a look at it, to no avail at the moment.

I have then had to resort to using my 2nd pc (Yes I know how it sounds...) but I purchased the new one as rendering some of these big memory images is causing this ones GPU to really overheat, so I can't keep renders going all through the night. Meaning someone who likes to do many images for a scene (me) makes it hard for me to get a good amount done is a quick time, especially since I am doing some scene images 16 times due to the amount of alternate routes there are. Day 6 is all fully written out, just have some images left, but is taking its time, until I get this sodding PC working properly.

Once I have this up and running fully I am going to get this day all complete and then start working on Limitless and OPI, but for the mean time, images are taking me a while.

That sucks, sorry to hear that. I was mostly just trying to get some traffic here again as it'd gone quiet, I don't worry too much about when updates are coming personally, if they do they'll arrive when they arrive. But man I can understand how frustrating that must be... my wife's render machine has had blue screen issues I haven't been able to trouble shoot for ages.

It's a major pain in the A... after spending the amount I have, and yet the bloody thing don't work and it should as its a beast of a machine.. just seems to have some issues with being a server MB and it communicating with the GPU in Daz.

You bought a server mainboard?
Why... :KEK:

Finally managed to get everything back up and running again. Seems as though Daz was the issue. The new DAZ update doesn't seem to be liking my scenes causing it to crash all the time. Have managed to obtain a previous version (The one that's on my 2nd pc) and now all is working beautifully... infact PC is running better than ever now and move some things around and relocated files, so now everything is running smoothly *fingers crossed*

Report it to Daz3D and let them know how you fixed it, otherwise they probably wont, and the bug will be in the next version too.
Good to hear you figured that issue out though.

Well a beta version for what I have done so far for the update has gone out to subscribers, while I finish off the remainder of the update. It's a long and tedious section at the moment as I'm currently rendering 16 different versions of each image, due to the different routes you could be on. No way of my doing layer masking in photoshop for them due to all the reflections in mirrors and shadows etc.

Once I have completed this section after that there is basically only a singular route you can do, so no multiple images will be needed.

Only a singular route we can do for the rest of that update, or for the rest of the game? I typically have everyone in my harem, but I do like when girls are optional. Like initially, i had turned down the twins mom because of the whole cheating thing, but then I replayed and saw how things go if you do add her to the harem. Choice is nice

It's a eye opening update. A lot of things will become clearer going forward... there is a lot about seeing the new place with Meadow or without her... and later on some fun with someone we haven't seen for a little while and a chance to knock them up :)

I get that, and I generally don't. But I'm one of those weirdos who self-insert, and I try to avoid being a needles asshole to people who don't deserve it. Stealing wives and girlfriends from their abusive partners I have absolutely no issues with, but fucking over normal guys is just a dick move that feels really out of character a lot of the time. Like MC being a hero to nearly everyone he meets, but then being a selfish dick for no reason. Yea i know that in the twins mom situation there are extenuating circumstances, but I mean in general.
