Ornatrix Maya: Installed Ornatrix now Maya won't run

Hello, yesterday I bought a license for Ornatrix and installed it and now Maya won't run. I am now trying to fix the situation by removing Maya and reinstalling it. The problem is now i am afraid to try reinstalling Ornatrix. I am on a Mac Pro Tower 2019, Mac OS 12.0.1, and running Maya 2022. I installed the most recent Ornatrix build. My question is this. Have you heard of this happening before? Should I maybe try an older build? Just wondering what to do after I get Maya going again. Thanks in Advance! :-)

Jeordanis Figuereo	Hi, Are you getting any error message in the splash screen while Maya is loading? Jeordanis Figuereo (Product Designer. EPHERE Inc.) LinkedIn Discord

brettmc	Hi, thanks for answering. At first it would load nearly all the way then fail and I would get a message window that said "Fatal error, attempting to save..." and a location something like: /var/whatever. After a while I tried to just delete only Maya and reinstall, but it wouldn't run at all. So I formatted my hard drive and started clean, now I have Maya running and most of my apps installed and everything is working. I am just nervous to install Ornatrix now...ha ha. FYI I used to use Ornatrix on my old computer with Maya 2015 and it worked great with no problems.

Jeordanis Figuereo	Hi, Please try one of the following: 1. Disable Auto-load for the Maya USD plugin. This can be done before starting Maya by editing /Users/<user>/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/2022/prefs/pluginPrefs.mel 2. Remove /Users/Shared/Autodesk/modules/maya/2022/OrnatrixMaya2022/plug-ins/procedurals/Ephere.Ornatrix.ArnoldProcedural7.0.dylib 3. Or Install MtoA 5. This is required by Ox.
