Genesis not loading properly in 4.5 (Video Included)

I'm having a problem with version 4.5. If I load a scene that I created in version 4, I can load the genesis character with no problem.

However, if I then save that scene in 4.5 and then reload the saved scene, the genesis figure appears to be a bunch of blocks.

I've included a video of the problem that I am having at this link (make sure you watch at 480p if you want to read the text):

I've seen mention of this on the forums, but I haven't seen a clear-cut solution.

Any ideas?

    Hi Douglas

    Those error messages suggest DS has got itself confused and is looking in the wrong place for Genesis.

    Did you use the Install manager to install the 'Starter Essentials'?

    This happened a lot when we first got 4.5, Genesis just isn't DS4.0 and the .DAZ format compatible, but back then it used to load in looking like an extra from an old B Sci-Fi movie, now it just loads in as blocks.

    One remedy to try is to load your .DAZ scene file into 4.5, then load a second Genesis into the scene, select and delete the first Genesis, then click on UNDO to bring it back, delete the second Genesis you just added and save your scene in the DUF format. This scene file should now load properly providing they (points at the devs) haven't changed things in newer versions of 4.5.
