"File not found" errors

Eccentric Boredom

The timeline of the issue goes like this:

cleared out my base Downloads folder to clear up some space

should have just been miscellaneous downloads, but some part of my Daz content was there apparently

started getting Postgre SQL not found errors

reinstalled the Postgre file, the error went away, but now I get "file not found" errors when loading various assets

for the record, these are all first-party Daz Shop assets

some work, some don't, seemingly at random across all asset categories: figures, wardrobe, shaders, etc.

I've tried completely reinstalling from scratch, but nothing works

this also seemed to coincide with the 4.21 to 4.22 update and retirement of Daz Central

Are you loading the content directly, or are these saved scenes?

Eccentric Boredom

These are all being loaded directly, saved scenes seem to be okay so far

as for the log, there isn't an entry more recent than several hundred entries of

which isn't a model I'm having issues with btw

This is the most recent entry in the log

which is an asset that I'm *not* having an issue with btw

nothing changes in the log when I try to load a lost/broken asset

loading directly, saved scenes seem to be fine so far

Richard Haseltine

If scenes are OK and base content not that makes me suspect you had nested content diectories on the old system, one content directory inside another, and in the new one you have the same structure with the only outer folder selected as a content directory - the saved scenes added the extra outer folder to their relative paths, but of course the content files don't have that and so can't resolve their references.

cool, so what do I do about that?

Richard Haseltine

Well, ideally you adjust the content paths so that they are pointing to the actual, inner content direcotry (or take everything out of that and place it in the outer folder, depending on which you want to use) at which point you would be able to load content, then you uncompress your scene files and (using a copy) edit the paths to remove whatever is before the /runtime/ and /data/ in the stored paths. But first you need to verify that this is the issue - look at the folder you have set as a content directory, does it contain another folder that has /Runtime/ and Data/ folders inside it? Do you ave runtime and Data folders in the folder you have selected as a content directory?
