Hi,
In Maya 2015 "Maya has stopped working" occurs the moment Overlay Append Mesh becomes visible in the heads up display, either by shift-clicking inside 4 dots to make a face ... or by already having quads before turning on overlay append mesh to display the edges.
In Maya 2014 sp2 Overlay Append Mesh works perfectly fine.
I've tried changing veiwport settings, tweeking different options in quad draw and testing on other models/meshes.
Solved! Go to Solution.
WOT! REALLY? mmmm the plot thickens.
Win8 64-bit
Intel Core i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz
AMD Radeon R9 200 Series
8 GB ram
I have the same problem, tried everything from uninstalling & reinstalling maya to graphics card drivers, different graphics cards, it still remains, using windows 8.1, it worked with maya 2014 not 2015 they changed it now its skrewed.
AMD released a new driver beta, seems to have fixed it, driver is for windows 8.1 but not windows 8, seems Amd is'nt supporting windows 8 from now on, ...you can get the driver from their site amd-catalyst-14.6-beta-v1.0-windows-may23
