Maya 2016 Extension 2 Crashing

[Anonymous]

I've been trying to upload the two extensions for Autodesk Maya 2016. I previously used Maya 2015, and all of my files work fine on Maya 2016, Maya 2016 with Extension 1...but once I try opening any file using Extension 2, Maya crashes. On a rare occasion it won't, but this only happened twice after trying constantly for a few hours to get it working properly. I'm not quite sure what is going on, as my files open on the Maya 2016 (with Extension 2) in my university and all my files open with 2016, 2016 with Extension 1...but no such luck on 2. I've tried Extension 2 and Extension 2 with the Service Package but I get the same error with either version. Any help/suggestions???

did this ever get resolved or did you roll back to 2016?

No it was never fixed. I just restart my computer loads of times and hope one of those times it will open my file.

I was also unable to fully roll back to extension 1 because my course at university needs me to use extension 2 a lot of the time so I try to use extension 1 when I can and other times I just try to get extension 2 working.

I hope someone at AD reads this as fighting MAYA to work leads to a very frustrating user experience, some of the blame rests on Windows I believe as I have used MAYA on a Mac Pro and it was rock solid, currently using 2017 update 3 (latest) is a little better than previous extensions but making stability improvements should be foremost BEFORE additional feature sets because you can't get to new features if you deal with constant crashing, ghost windows and menus that that refuse to load properly and this is ONLY in Maya as I have no such problems in Heavy-duty programs like ZBrush and Nuke, c'mon AD address these stability issues in update 4 so we all can love MAYA again!

Well I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, I use a Macbook Pro though so it's not a Windows problem as far as I know of. I was in relatively regular contact with a few people from Autodesk for a few months a while back but they were unable to find the solution so that sort of stopped. I'm hoping when my uni gets 2017 next year the problem will be gone.

I have ext 2 on my Windows laptop no issues. ON my mac using Sierra 10.12 Maya 2016 ext 2 crashes just trying to open a file. Had no issues with 2016. disappointed with this upgrade

Yeah, I don't know how they don't know what the problem is or how to fix it. I'm able to use it fine on my iMac but on my Macbook Pro I rarely have luck...and even when I manage to get a file open, it doesn't tend to work properly anyway! (for example, pose space deformers will make my mesh do weird things on my laptop, but the same file on my iMac will work perfectly fine with pose space deformers). Hopefully it's eventually fixed or when I have access to 2017 that will work properly!
