Reproduction Steps
Even though Attributes has been live for a few months now, my Analytics keep catching “Attributes are not currently enabled” errors.
local attribute = instance:GetAttribute("Attribute")
It has been reported a couple of times in the Attribute announcement threads.
Expected Behavior
I expect Attributes to be enabled for all players. Are some players playing in a client where Attributes is not live yet?
Actual Behavior
Using the live feature Attributes errors for some players.
Issue Area: Engine Issue Type: Other Impact: Moderate Frequency: Often
You say you have some analytics on it, how frequent are we talking? On a spectrum of “every server runs into it” to “I only saw it a couple of times” where does it land?
They are enabled, and nothing has changed about that since they were announced as enabled.
It’s happening for less than 1% of the servers/players, but consistently every day.
About the nothing has changed since they were announced as enabled, that makes sense because this error has been occurring ever since I implemented it (when it was announced as enabled).
I’d like to report it too, I made a game that loads in very fast as it has not even Characters enabled and I get this error lots of times. (80 KB file)
However, in a game that is lots bigger and takes a long time to load I got this error 0 times with the
same Script. (5.5 MB file) (There I only experienced a stack overflow error on rare occasions for :GetAttribute())
So maybe there is a correlation between “too fast” loading and the bug?
Maybe before the game has properly loaded there is a small time frame where Attributes are disabled?
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. We made a change that should fix this but if you’re still seeing it in a week or two from now then let me know and I’ll take a closer look
Both games have set Playable Devices to: Computer, Phone, Tablet
The game where the error occurred 0 times (only rare “stack overflow” errors on :GetAttribute) has 37k Visits and the game where the error occurred very often had only like 30 Extra Visits after implementing :GetAttributes()
