Im aware there are some issues with this tool so I will patiently wait for an update but I figured I would report on this issue.

After installing the MayaART by Epic all stock plugins seem to get unloaded from Maya, I noticed this when I could no longer import .FBX

It also prevents me from opening the plugin manager. The error it spits out are the last 2 when I try to open the plugin manager.

file -f -new;
// Warning: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2014/scripts/startup/rememberViewportSettings.mel line 43: Active stereo does not work with Aero enabled. Active stereo has been disabled. //
// untitled //
commandPort -securityWarning -name commandportDefault;

This seems super strange. I haven’t heard of anyone else having these issues(either at our studios or on threads here) and nothing about the tool touches Maya’s systems. Only one script may have had an effect and that is the userSetup.py script, since that is a standard maya script, but again, that seems unlikely since all it is doing is adding the Epic Games menu to your menu bar on startup.

Any more information you can provide? I see you’re using Maya 2014. Is it a student license?

sorry, I completely forgot about this i’ve been handling other issues. I’m not using a student license and don’t really have the skills to debug this further without help.

Have you gotten the last code drop from the master thread? Perhaps some of the fixes in there will clear this issue up?
