Actually i find somehow this new system more benefic. I understand that in the old one, the symmetry actually changes the object topology wich is a problem in a more parametric way of work. If that object has somekind of pose morph target, in the old system, that would be a major issue, because it would change the object topology under the symmetry object. In your first picture the image stays original and the symmetry actually creates a new mesh. I think that is a good idea in order to preserve original topology. Another option is to activate scene symmetryze tool and work from there. Since it is a tool and not a generator, it will change the object topology as you prefer.
 
i have here some examples that might help


1 - mirror or symmetry (option for modelling)
2 - activate scene symmetry
3 - scene symmetry options
4 - symmetryze and options (this one is probably the one you like more)
5 - symmetrize selection options
6 - symmetry generator tool

Hey
 
If you install the insydium bridge for c4d S26 you can still use those toools. Some are working better than others but overall it works.

unfortunatelly there is no R2023 version. i hope they still reçaease it someday. 
 
cheers

Hi
 
Just to say that i solved the problem.  Apparently it was a faulty preference file. Reseting the preferences folder solved the issue.
 
cheers

Maxon aknowledges the error and for now and it will try to solve it in future releases.

Hey
 
I fast fixed your rig, but you have to connect controlers to joins and everything else.
Your rig is quite fragile, so you must be a more careful next time you built it. I recommend watching some tutorials or using the character built in tools.
Your mesh is also very problematic. I collapsed your entire geometry as one, replaced the axis in 0 and bind it to the joints. Next time you have to bind your mesh to rig by using a weight tag and a skin deformer.
 
dont ik the fingers
your model has problems but nothing to do with subdivisions
 
see if it works 
 
btw your file is a student version. im not sure if you re able to open this scene file
 
good luck
cheers
