Maya 2018 fatal error, attempting to save in error

[Anonymous]

Hey there! 

Im using Maya 2018 student version and whenever i try to load anything, blank scenes, full scenes and new scenes the program will simply not load and instead display a fatal error message in the output box. i have tried numerous methods to solve this including performing a clean uninstall/reinstall, altering the system environment, adding it to my nvidia control panel, deleting prefs folder and finally attempting to install new drivers. None of them worked and now im at a loss, any help would be appreciated. the attached image is a screencap of the error.

Here's what's in the output window:

Max texture size : 16384 * 16384.
Max tex coords : 32

Shader compiler profile : (Best card profile)
Active stereo support available : 0
GPU Memory Limit : 6144 MB.

GPU: Nvidia Gtx 1060 6GB with the latest (391.35) driver

I would really appreciate If someone could help me. This issue is driving me crazyy

Hey there, thanks for helping!

I did what I saw there at sulotion, but still nothing... the output window still shows this:

- I added  "MAYA_DISABLE_OPNECL=1" to the Maya Env. file but it seems it did nothing.

Soo the solutions seemed to be this for me:

As the output error mentioned there was some file called igdrclneo64.dll (It can be found in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\igdlh64.inf_amd64_250db833a1cd577e )

This Dll file seemed to confuse Maya if there is a GPU or not.

So if there's someone who has this same issue, try to delete  igdrclneo64.dll first!!

Hi!

1. the command is

MAYA_DISABLE_OPENCL=1

and not "MAYA_DISABLE_OPNECL=1"

2. Never delete system files, just re-name or move them to an other folder so it can be easily restored.

Thank you so much for the advice on just moving/deleting the C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\igdlh64.inf_amd64_250db833a1cd577e\igdrclneo64.dll file.
I went through all sorts of deleting \My Documents\maya\ folder, re-installing Maya 2018.4 & graphics drivers, rebooting, etc.., and this simple solution is the only thing that worked.

My issue was Maya failing to even start, it would show a message box error with,

Failed to write to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp\[username].YYYYMMDD.ma

For Anyone else that's searching for the solution, here's my tech specs as reference.
