Green shader and missing geometry! AGAIN! Loosing days of work!

[Anonymous]

I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this very annoying issue which right now puts me back few days of work behind.  

While I am modeling Maya 2019.3.1 starts to slow down, I save, restart maya and a good chunk of my mesh is gone leaving the rest green. Today has been the 4th time in a month and it has been a real pain since I have to re do all the work!

THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING since I see from the forums that this has been a problem since earlier versions of Maya. Is there a fix to recuperate all this work? I save .ma files … now CORRUPTED, even the autosave files: CORRUPTED! I cannot Believe this keeps happening! 

Any help is very appreciated.

The issue of the Missing shaders and geometry has been solved. Thanks to Autodesk's Marko S.

I am just glad I was able to recuperate the corrupted file and i am glad I use .ma files.

Solution:

duplicate the corrupt file and rename

Open new .ma file in text editor and use find and replace to remove 

-nan(ind)

and replace with 

0 

Save file 

0=Zero

Save the file and reopen in maya

Great to hear you have solved the issue.
That is the reason why I always save my scene as ASCII
