Trouble opening .ma scene in Maya 2022

[t18arva]

I try to open an .ma scene but I get this error message with the title "Unsupported nodes":

"Errors have occurred while reading this scene that may result in data loss. Please check the Script Editor for details".

Then Maya freezes, I can't click "OK" to close the error message (or click on anything else in Maya) and I have to close Maya using the Task Manager.

The .ma file is downloaded and I use Maya 2022 version.

Please help, thank you.

Hi!

Here it works.

What exact Maya version and OS are you using?

Try File -> Import instead of File -> Open Scene.

If it still does not work I will convert the file.

I  tried that and all alternative ways that a file can open in Maya but nothing worked. How can I convert the file?

Thank you for your help.
