Poser 11.2 -- The NEW Poser :(

[McGrandpa]

That could simply be the indexing system trying to index all those new files you added to runtimes with all the freebie goodies.
It only needs to index once when you install new stuff, so if you let it run completely, future library loads should be much faster with no indexing.
Oh, and don't download the new Poser installation files after those released on the 19th.  What you see up there are beta files and not guaranteed to be error free.
You'll get a notice if stable updated files should be installed.

Ok, so we should still be using 11.2.272 right?

It's now up to 11.2.286 last I looked and frankly I don't know how it got there, but that's the new version #

When I took P11 the other day, it was September 25. And the version I obtained (not the Beta version) was Poser 11.2.286. One way or another, Poser was updated since you took it. Did you suscribe to have Poser before the official release date? If you, you have a Beta version.

When I delete stuff, it frees ram.  When I CTRL-N (New Scene) it clears its memory space.   Reminds me, I need to see if they fixed that blasted texture list continuing to accumulate data until Poser is restarted from the desktop.

In PC it is your user folder/app data/roaming/poser folder You get rid of those files to free up space, I did it every night cause although Poser should do it, sometimes it won't

On Mac it is in the hidden library folder:

Make the Library Visible Permanently

Apple hides the Library folder by setting a file system flag associated with the folder. Any folder on your Mac can have its visibility flag turned on or off; Apple just chose to set the Library folder's visibility flag to the off state. To reset the visibility flag, do the following:

    Launch Terminal, located in /Applications/Utilities.
    Terminal icon in macOX Utilities folder

    Enter the following command at the Terminal prompt:

    chflags nohidden ~/Library

    Click return.

    Once the command is executed, you can quit Terminal. The Library folder will now be visible in the Finder.

    Should you ever wish to set the Library folder back to its default hidden state in OS X or macOS, simply launch Terminal and issue the following Terminal command:

    chflags hidden ~/Library

    Click return.


Then you can go to Users/your folder name/Library/Application Support/Poser Pro 11/Render Cache and then delete to trash those files

the go to Users/your folder name/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/ --- there may be two folders in there Poser and Poser 11 choose the right one for your program --- /11/check these two folder and delete the files in them: PoserTextureCache and PoserUndoCache

Empty trash then re-open Poser.

Trust when I say I completely understand!  When I came back, Bondware had just taken over Poser.  I couldn't download P11.  My S/N for both 10 and 11 were not "recognized".  I ended up having to shell out $199 for a "new" version.  I sent in a message and was told that my original license for 11 had been installed 3 times (see above) so it was no longer valid.  No reason why my P10 and PP2014 licenses were not recognized.  Then all communication shut down.  I HATE DAZ and what they did, but I feel like R'osity is doing the same exact thing, only with the software instead of the characters :(

You already owned Poser 11?   I think that "installed 3 times" is utter crap.   You are allowed to move a "seat" from one machine to another.  If it was uninstalled without unregistering that installation first, simply tell them that no longer exists.   The rule I read from way back when is I am allowed to have 1 copy installed on 1 desktop and one mobile (laptop).  I cannot run both at the same time.  That is the only rule about licensing issues I know of.   Never even heard of "3 Seats" before now.

I have been hit with the issue of "too many instances installed" in the past with Poser 7, with Vue 6 Inf., and a few other programs.   Usually had to do with wiping the hd on an old laptop before giving it to one of my kids.  And, NOT de-registering it first.  Oh and Adobe Photoshop definitely hit me with that too.

So, did you actually talk to someone at Renderosity?

ON Sept 19, release day, the "release version" was 11.2.272.   I dl'd and installed THAT version from their public server, just as we were told to do.   No problem so far.   I have also dl'd that later release, but not installed it yet.  From the public server, not the private beta tester link.

(snipped MAC stuff)

Ok, I knew there were some things in there but never thought to go empty them manually!  Thanks Mary!  :)

Ok, I get you.  Will go to the public server and get new files.   I knew there were going to be issues because of the lack of communications from the PTB's.   Even while in the SLACK app we were not very well informed of things.   I realize there is a lack of personnel TO do the communicating, but c'mon now, a version change and no mailout or info IN Poser!?   That's not good at all.

Well, I simply followed the link gave by DarkAngel in that topic
http://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?topic=20890.0
And to be sure that connection would be better to load, I waited than most of people took Poser the first days of the release 

[McGrandpa]

Ok I just had PP 11 check manually as 'check for updates on launch' was unchecked.  Duh.  Will turn that one one next!  New version downloading now.

Thanks Ray (and everybody talking about the new version!) !!!
