For the past few weeks my almost finished maya project has been entirely unresponsive. When I open it the project is empty, untitled and eternally buffering - it can only be closed via task manager or a full restart. When I attempt to import it into a new scene the result is the same. I've tried in countless ways to fix the issue but have had no luck.
Today I simply moved my Maya folder and attempted to open the project again - this time I received a pop-up "This file does not exist". After looking up different methods to deal with it I simply moved my project file to a new, separate folder and attempted to open it through maya. This time it would either freeze/ buffer, display the n/a pop-up or, in some cases display an error. // Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2026/scripts/others/performFileAction.mel line 64: No translator found
I have searched about this error but not found any solutions.
Additional info:
My file type is an .mb as I am a beginner and did not know about .ma until the issue started. My project contains MASH that I 'learnt' from a quick tutorial. I cannot restore any previous versions and I do not have admin settings as I work on a university computer - the pc is industry standard so there shouldn't be any issues in that department. The last thing I did on the file before it no longer opened was UV editing.
Please help if you know anything!
