Beams are invisible in Roblox Studio

In Roblox Studio, beams are not shown. They are invisible or missing. Neither image beams nor normal color beams show up.

This was first observed by at least 3 individuals (including myself) today.

Expected behavior
Beams should display normally.

^ Trust me on this one: there are (image) beams here. See the green attachment spheres.

Also having this issue. Any fixes for it so far? Seems to be when testing in studio and in non test mode they disappear, but when testing from the roblox game client they work perfectly fine.

Dude, me too! My bullet tracers, which are made with a mix of beams and trails, just don’t appear! I was thinking they weren’t loading, but alas! I pulled it out of replicated storage; ITS INVISIBLE!

Confirming that beams are not visible in Roblox studio. In any game / any place I open.

Can confirm, i thought my flashlight tool broke today. There is supposed to be a beam here:


Experienced around 8:00 AM timezone GMT+2 when i opened studio in the morning

I can also say that I’m experiencing this issue. Thanks for creating this report.

I thought I was doing something wrong with my beams and was going crazy! :rofl:

On the bright side at least Roblox might be updating trails and beams.
Or they might have just broken something when working on something completely different.

I have the same problem. I think it’s a Roblox Studio bug.

Beams don’t show up in all of my games as well, I think it’s a Roblox bug indeed.

Having this issue too, seems like it was caused by some sort of update as everyone suddenly has it on the same day O_O

Had me tripping for 20 minutes trying to debug my code :sob:

I agree Beams can’t be seen anymore, you can try yourself with any waterfall model from the Toolbox:
