Downloaded Maya 2018 trial and wanted to explore the latest offerings and I can't even save a scene?
Fatal Error. Attempting to save in C:/Users/Steven/AppData/Local/Temp/Steven.20170904.2052.ma
Makes it kinda difficult to use.

Hello, are you on windows, mac, Linux? can you tell us about your workstation specs?
did you try to uninstall maya and do clean install with fresh preferences?
can you please try this and let me know if the problem persists!
Thank you

I am on Windows, I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W520. Which is a Intel i7, 8 GB ram, and Quadro 1000m graphics card.
I am not sure why I should do a clean install, there was no indication that the install was bad. BUT I will try it tonight after work.
Thanks

it is good practice, you can also try by just deleting your preferences in users/maya/preferences
if this does not work try to reinstall maya !

I removed the preferences folder, started Maya and chose new default prefs and it seems to be working now.
Honestly, this isn't a fix... there is something wrong with the software if at any point a save causes a crash that is unrecoverable. To me it's even worse that it isn't corrupt data in the working file or if there was something else wrong, but instead its the preferences? What could possibly be in preferences which would cause such a fatal error?

Autodesk has owned Maya for 12 years now, can't blame Alias.
I look forward to a time when people don't suggest deleting preferences in order to get the software to operate.
