Daz Tutorial How to install Daz3D on Linux - updated with new method

[dreamtype]

Thanks, I might try pocl myself as dforce does seem pretty slow for me.

Yeah my distro has Lutris 0.5.91 so no running a script. Also since I don't have nvidia I don't want the part of the script where it installs the nvidia libraries.

Also, I like my approach to creating an .desktop file because it uses the runner directly without going through lutris. (I basically only use lutris to download the runner and to initialze the prefix with their special magick that makes DIM/DAZ work.) Plus you can have multiple launchers without having to create multiple "games".

Last I used it, on my Nvidia system, dForce will process one frame then wait for about a second before processing the next. PoCL doesn't have that wait between frames (or it isn't as bad).

This thread is a bit old, but the history it contains is still valid, so I'll ask my question here.

I've successfully installed DAZ 4.24 with Lutris flatpak and wine staging before realizing that this version doesn't support rendering on the 5090. It's a new rig that has never seen Windows and will never see it if I have a say on it.

I tried installing DAZ 2025 alpha on it, but it won't launch at all. The process appears for a few seconds in the process list before quitting. Did anyone encountered this issue and maybe found a workaround?

No need to mention that Blender 4/5 native work incredibly well on this rig. It might be the time to make better use of diffeomorphic.

EDIT: Fixed by copying the icuuc.dll from my Windows 11 system32 folder onto the drive_c/windows/system32 folder of the directory tree where DAZ is installed.
