Beams and trails don't show up

Chrythm · September 4, 2024, 2:39am

As of about an hour ago, I can no longer see beams or trails in any studio sessions, and not in test mode either. I can still see them in game, though.

Can confirm this issue on at least 3 other individuals’ ends as well.

Make sure they have two attachments; attachment1 and attachment0.

Everything related to beams and trails are invisible. I’m having this issue too.

same for me, trails don’t work in studio

Can confirm. This bug is only occurring in Studio for me. The Roblox client don’t seem to have this issue (old and new servers).

was about to go crazy, thanks for bringing this up

We experienced the same issue in our game.
The problem was the Roblox engine sometimes incorrectly calculating the distance between attachments, causing Transparency to be close to 1 for the entire beam (NumberRange).
Setting the Transparency to specific number instead of NumberRange fixed the issue.

Experiencing this too! I hope this can be resolved quickly.

Aeresei · September 4, 2024, 9:42am

Can confirm, this is also happening to me which really sucks because I have a system that is highly dependent on trails…

SlussBat · September 4, 2024, 9:50am

Can confirm this just started happening to me a few minutes ago.

Ru1PT111 · September 4, 2024, 9:54am

Same thing happening in my studio.

Edit: In the Roblox app works just fine.

I also can confirm trails and beams do not show up. I am using Roblox Studio version 0.640.16400735 (64-bit) on Windows 11. It happens in any place I create in studio.

This has been driving me nuts.

farokeetak · September 4, 2024, 12:36pm

It happened to me once, and then it went back to normal. But now it’s happening again
I think there’s nothing we can do about this issue, we have to wait til it back to normal

spaceconsole · September 4, 2024, 12:52pm

Did you do anything that might have fixed it before it started working again?

WillyChan15 · September 4, 2024, 12:52pm

I have met this issue about 10 hours ago. Finally somebody helped report it. It does affect my act work and hope Roblox could fix it ASAP.

steechyy · September 4, 2024, 1:15pm

experiencing same issue w/ rblx studio, hope this is fixed soon !!

This is a very new issue seemingly everyone is experiencing. But don’t worry, it’s only in Roblox studio, so in-game it’s visible.
