Daz 4.8 is extremely sluggish.

I have DAZ 4.8 32 bit on a Win 7 system with 3g of memory. Until recently(last couple of weeks) it has worked fine. Now I cannot move any of the models using the universal tool or the manual tools without a terrible amount of lag. This makes it impossible to pose the figures. Also every time I try to render, I get a fatal error and Daz closes. Has something in Daz been updated that could be causing this problem? The way it is acting right now, I can't even use it.

I have tried unistalling all the new apps I have purchased lately and I even uninstalled Daz 4.8 and reinstalled. Nothing seems to work. Has anyone else reported similiar problems?

No, no updates to Studio.

If it came on suddenly, then what about Windows or security software updates?  Any of those happen around the time the problem started?

What's the specifics on the error when you try to render?

I'm gonna just throw in here and toss out something that helped me recently. I was experiencing what sounds like the very same thing in terms of lag (The crashing I don't know about...mine crashes every time I legitimately 'exit' the software, but that's different.)

Anyway, check and see if any element in your scene is using Mesh Smoothing. Clothing, Props, figures, etc. It will be under the 'Parameters>General>Mesh Smoothing' if it is. Having this set to interactive, or sometimes even having it turned on can really slow down the viewport and UI. Turn it off while setting up the scene and turn it on right before you render.

Maybe that can help :)
