Solved: Crashed File Opening Up Empty?

Anonymous · ‎03-02-2021

I was working on my project but then Maya crashed saying something like "Fatal Error: attempting to save in error".

After I relaunched Maya, I tried to click on the recovery files from the window on the left side of the workspace, however it kept showing the same "Fatal error" message everytime I click on the recovery files and would just crash again.

After a couple tries, the recovery file window on the left side disappeared and now does not show up anymore when I launch Maya.

I then looked into my folders and found the crashed Maya file and crash report Maya had saved, however, when I open the file, my scenes and outliner are COMPLETELY EMPTY.

A quick message in yellow box on the bottom will also say

"//Warning: file: /Applications/Autodesk/maya2020/Maya.app/Contents/scripts/startup/autoLoadPlugin.mel line 35: Loading plug-in "mtoa" has resulted in changes to the scene that may need to be saved."

What does this mean? Please help!! Im working on a Macbook Pro with Maya 2020

Hi!

Recovered scene attached.

To prevent data loss like this:
1. Do incremental saves (as often as suitable) and from time to time save or export in an additional format (like FBX or OBJ).
2. Delete history if not needed anymore (on individual or all objects).
3. Create backups.

Hi!

Recovered scene attached (second version).

There is not really a difference between the 2 files provided, it's more a cosmetic change, but the second file is technically correct.

Hi! How did you recover the files?
