Maya crashed, objects missing

[camilokuratomi]

So I started using Maya a couple of weeks ago and I'm modelling a rifle just to practice. I was trying to set up UV's and Maya froze so I terminated it through the task manager thinking I could just re open any of the many saves I had, I tried to do that and to my surprise they're all bad, they're all missing objects both from the scene and the outliner, like if they never existed, and the remaining objects in the scene are colored green. The file size of the ASCII remains the same. I don't know what happened and I really want to know if there is a way to fix it. what is weird is that all of my other saves are like this too, I had 50 incremental saves, they're all the same. I tried other versions of the ASCII, older ones, and same problem. I really want to know if this can be fixed before I go jump off a roof.

Here's what the script editor says:

My other posts kept getting removed as spam, I guess because I attached the ASCII file. 

Please help 😞

Hi!

Recovered scene attached.

To prevent such issues:
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.

@mspeer Thank you so much... It worked... Noted your suggestions
@Stephen.Blair  Got it. Thanks

[Anonymous]

@mspeer Same issue for me happened today sadly...
I've sent a pm directly to you with the file.

I hope you'll be able to help me.

Thanks 🙂

Hi, same happend to me. can you fix it?

@mspeer  Hello, my computer crashed (blue screen) while I was in Maya, and when I reopened my scene some mesh where missing (mesh that I saved days ago) and some are not in the right place + there is no more texture in the scene or in the hypershade editor. Can you save my file too?
Thank you

[damaggio]

There's no file attached.

[Anonymous]

Sorry, here it is

[mspeer]

Hi!

The last part of the scene (a big part) does not contain any usable data, so I am sorry, but this can't be recovered.

[Anonymous]

Ok, so I guess there is no way to fix a .mb file?

Thank you anyway

[mspeer]

Hi!

If there is such a large part missing at the end of the file it doesn't matter if it's saved as .ma or .mb .

[blinkstop920]

Hi there. So i have this same issue where my Maya scene when reopened from a crashed state has loaded up only partially. Meshes are missing, everything's green which I think is the missing of its shader. lambert1 material doesn't seem to affect the green at all. All my meshes existed in multiple layers that no longer exist. I've done some searching online and came across nan and (ind). I've tried replacing these in notepad++ but when searching for both these items in the ascii file there were no results. Bellow is an image of the Maya script editor. Any help would be appreciated.

 and here are the Notepad images

  

[sebugwawodenis2]

Is this solution also work for Mb. file format because i tried it but i can't find (nan)

[sebugwawodenis2]

i tried using this method but i could not find (NAN) because my file is a Mb. file, so do you any other solution please

[balabanovic]

Hi @mspeer , we have an MA file that crashes Maya 2023 (a Windows install and a fresh install on a Mac) as well as trying it with Maya 2022 on a university computer - can anyone help figure out what's wrong or if it is rescuable? I don't see any NaN's in there. I can DM a link. Thanks!

[mspeer]

Hi!

@balabanovic 

I can check it, just provide the file.

[mspeer]

Hi!

@balabanovic 

The file is not complete.

The most important part with the scene setup and the node connections is missing.

I am sorry, there is no way to recover this scene.

[balabanovic]

OK thanks for checking @mspeer. Do you know what might have caused this

[mspeer]

Hi!

@balabanovic 

I can't say what caused this, but it seems the file saving process was interrupted and not completed. This could be caused by software or hardware issues.

[hadiaazed]

Hi Can you also help me recover some of my missing geo
