How do I prevent unreal engine from crash when I import fbx meshes from maya

Everytime I import a fbx mesh (static) from maya to my content browser it crashes and gives me this error message:

How can I solve this, it’s pretty annoying that I can’t work on my game ideas when I can’t even import my meshes

This started happening to me just this morning. Was working fine yesterday. Did you find a solution?

I did try using 2014/2015 with the same result

Hi DamirH -

Thank you for your report. We have not currently finalized implementation for importing FBX2016 into Unreal Engine 4 which is what is causing this specific crash. We are tracking these crashes as UE-20400 and I will inform you here as we make progress toward the full implementation. In the meantime, please stick with exporting as a FBX2015 or 2014.

Eric Ketchum

Can you send me the FBX you were attempting to import?

Thank You

Eric Ketchum

I will do that when i get home later

Also if you can confirm that you are getting the same callstack as listed above when it crashes with the 2014/15 FBX.

Thank you for your help -

Eric Ketchum

I will check it as soon as i get home

My error went away when I switched to 2014 / 2015, Maya decided to just switch to 2016 for some reason, it worked perfectly fine yesterday. For all I know I WAS using 2016 all along since I am using Maya 2016…

I can’t upload the file it’s too big (87 MB) but I get the excact same error message

The error fixed it self with the new hotfix

HI lokifarbaute -

Can you upload it to a dropbox and share the link here?

Thank You

Eric Ketchum
