Images loading and loading in general

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So my game has alot of images (hundreds) and I just has to be that way because I can’t get the desired effect in Roblox studio alone.
Firstly, how do I stop the thing happening where every time I open a menu I haven’t opened before it glitches and takes a second to load before showing up. I just want it all fully loaded.
Secondly, the .Loaded properties of some images are just never turning true (I’m talking 5 minutes + of waiting)
Thirdly I tried ContentProvider:PreloadAsync() on for example an image in the loading screen but it still isn’t loading sometimes.

I also had an incident a few days ago when I joined my game from normal Roblox and not studio and 10-15 images just never visually loaded at all
I played the game for 15 minutes and some image buttons just never showed up.
This can’t happen when the game is released so how do I fix all this and how do images load?

ContentProvider’s PreloadAsync should help you out.

#3

so I just preload the entire game?

#4

Preload the… images- not the entire game. That’d be slow and inefficient.

#5

sorry that’s what I meant. I just preload every image?

#6

Yes, and try and look at other ContentProvider functions to make sure they load correctly, as it can fail sometimes, but rarely.

#7

for preloading an image is it
ContentProvider:PreloadAsync({ImageLabel})
or
ContentProvider:PreloadAsync({ImageLabel.Image})
do I use the instance or the id or the image to preload an asset

#8

because I swear I’ve seen both when searching it up

You can use both, as stated in the docs, you can either use the string or instance containing loadable data.
