Daz crash when using face transfer on genesis 9 or when creating a new one~~~

Hi, as the title says my daz keep crashing when i try to use face transfer on genesis 9 figure or when creating a new one from scratch. It crashes at creating shape and textures.The weird thing is it didn't have any problem what so ever when i use it on a genesis 8 figure. No crash at all. I'm new to daz and using the latest version of the software. Btw my gpu is gtx 1050 ti 4gb and 8gb of system ram.

Do you have the latest version of the Genesis 9 Starter Essentials installed?

8GB of system memory is not much, though I don't know if face transfer 2 would be demanding enough for that to be an issue - do you get a crash dialogue, and if so what does it say?

I got a crash dialog that says Daz studio has encountered  a fatal error, and must close. It asked me to save the error report and submit a bug report. I installed my Genesis 9 Starter Essentials on 28/12/2023 so it is the latest version maybe? Should i sent the error report? or maybe my pc just can't support face transfer 2?

Usually the crash report dialogue gives a bit more information about exactly which bit of DS  (or one of the plug-ins) crashed, which can be illuminating. You cana lsoa ttach the crash report to a forum post.

You mentioned that it works fine for G8. Which Face Transfer are you using? My understanding is that Face Transfer 2 only works on G9, and Face Transfer works on G8.

Yes it works really fine with G8. I'm guessing that Daz automatically use face transfer 1 when you create or use on G8 and use face transfer 2 on G9. After playing around a bit with G9, I found that it really taxing on my system. It reverted back to cpu rendering on Victoria 9 with no hair on. Maybe my pc can't use face transfer 2 on G9 and cause the crash. Guess I'll use G8 for now and learn more on how to get better at using Daz until I upgrade my PC.
