HotFix 2 contains fixes for some common scenarios that result in corrupted materials and disconnected shader nodes in render trees. The Hotfix will prevent new corruption, but it doesn’t fix corrupted scenes or models. You will have to fix them one by one when possible.
Note: HotFix 2 includes HotFix 1.

Customer should plan to have Customer’s own quality assurance process in place before rolling a HotFix out to full production.
eX-SI 
please, don’t attempt to install the SP1 fix onto an install of the Subscription Advantage Pack, as many people do.
Also, note that hotfix 2 includes hotfix 1
Any idea, how long it (approximately) will take until the SAP version shows up in the Subscription Center? Are we talking hours, days or weeks here?
I would expect it to be available later today, or tomorrow morning at latest.
If you really need it fast, log a support request or contact me offline.
Thanks, it’s not that urgent to me at the moment, but it’s good to know, as I have already started “spreading the news”…
Thanks but that’s not necessary, I just wanted to know to update my post about the Hotfix 2 on “our” little si-community.
Just to let you know: it IS available now…
I followed the link above for the SAP Hotfix, logged in and wound up at a ‘Page Not Found’. I am a premium subscriber and am not sure if the fix has made its way to us yet? Maybe the updated version is rolled into the entire suite and I have to redownload the whole thing…not sure?
Login and go back to the main page. You should see the downloads there.
Went to the main page, selected Downloads from the left hand navigation bar then selected ‘Download Your Upgrade Now’ (yellow bar in middle of screen). I am brought to a software download page and the product listed is Ver. 2011 Autodesk Maya Entertainment Creation Suite Premium 2011 Multilingual with a Release Date of Oct 18, 2010. No mention of a Softimage 2011 Subscription Advantage Pack HotFix2? ANy insight would be appreciated – kinda confused as to where it could be?
Hi
You should see it as soon as you log in to the Subscription Center.

Thanks for the screen shot – unfortunately I am not seeing that for my account. The latest update I see in that box is ‘Service Pack 1 for Autodesk MotionBuilder 2011 Subscription Advantage Pack’ with a Release Date: 2010-11-08. I am going to contact customer service – annoying since I opted for the Premium Subscription. Thanks for your help and the post!
I wonder if it is because you have a Suite, not Softimage by itself (that’s what I was able to find under your name in the system).
Regardless it should be listed or rolled into the suite download. I see a notification for the fix when I start up SoftImage – very annoyed. I am also missing an option for the Mudbox SP1 for Subscription Advantage Pack which has been out for a while. They should have updated the suites by now for that at least. If you find out anything related to the suites and these missing fixes please post back. Thanks.
