Windows: Failed to add render override "mayaHydraRenderOverride_HdStormRendererPlugin"

[hamedsabri]

Hi there,

I am building maya-hydra for the first time on "Windows" with "Visual Studio 2022 Version 17.13.6" from the "dev" branch.
However, I hit various compiler/cmake errors which was easy to fix and was able to load plugins successfully in Maya 2025. After loading "mayaHydra" plugin, I am getting the following error message and I don't see the render delegate under the Renderer Menu in Viewport?

I am using:

- Maya 2025
- OpneUSD 0.25.2a
- MayaUsd 0.31.0

// Warning: mayaHydra is experimental.
// Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2025/Maya/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 316: Failed to add render override "mayaHydraRenderOverride_HdStormRendererPlugin" because the current drawing API isn't supported.

Am I missing something or does this mean that mayaHydra is not currently supported on Windows?

Any help is appreciated.

Nvm, I have figured out the issue. The VP2 Rendering engine was set to "Directx 11". Switching to OpenGL Core fixed the issue.

Thanks for raising this, right, MayaHydra is not functional yet in that case, will add this to our limitation documentation.
