Doorbusters not checking if you've already bought them?

Peter Wade

The Doorbuster items don't have a link to look at the product page, just an add to cart button. And I'm pretty sure it isn't checking if you already have it.

I bought the Arabic Hall today but it wasn't shown in in DIM as ready for download. I did  a search in DIM and it was already installed. I must have bought it already but you can't search orders so I can't prove it without reading throuugh pagesa and pages of orders.

So maybe it's worth doing a search through DIM or your product pages before buying these.

There is now a link  to the product page under the add to cart button.

If you go to your Product Library does it give only the most recent order? https://www.daz3d.com/downloader/customer/files I would open a ticket regardless, though you could check the orders around the release date (which you can get from the readme) first.

If you have the DAZDEALS extension it will show a little icon/link to display the item in your product library if you already own it... assuming that the extension is working properly and not temporarily offline due to DAZ changing the backend of the store without warning again.  

Another thing to be aware of, per the DAZDEALS thread, is that some products get name changes and that becomes an issue due to DAZ using names and not sku numbers for their product locators... and, of course, one also has to take into account is that, if you're like me, you have a huge number of items that you bought at the Renderosity, RuntimeDNA, or other stores that are now being sold in the DAZ store.  Just the addition of Vanishing Point alone means I have to double check a half dozen libraries... oh, and don't trust the names to stay the same when crosschecking between stores either... MOST of them will be the same, but I've run into a few where either the name is ever so slightly different or the product has the same name but is slightly different...
