Hello and thank you for the report! Would you be able to share a specific experience or place file where you are experiencing this behavior in? I’ve tried creating a new baseplate, chatting, and setting up a script where DisplayBubble gets called, but I’m seeing chat bubbles appear on my end.

My friend is experiencing this bug still. Anytime he types in STUDIO specifically his bubble chat doesn’t appear above his head. He went to different studios, switched accounts, updated graphics, reinstalled studio and still doesn’t see the bubble chat. He got a Windows update on the day the bug happened.

I wonder if this is sensitive to avatar options and less experience related if it happens on their account. If you friend changes their avatar to something without accessories, does it persist?

Unfortunately without more information, I dont have a lot to go off of. If you’re comfortable, could you provide your friend’s username?

It is HanselRage (2873875499)

He has tried changing avatars and clothes as we suspected it might be something he is wearing that hinders the chat bubble but it didn’t work. He has also tried switching accounts/studios and it didn’t work. Even in Team Test I could see his chat but he couldn’t see his own chat. In game there is 0 issues.

In generic roleplay gaem, sometimes other people’s messages only show up in the chat box and not above their head, and sometimes they only show above their head and not in the chat box.

(This is all speculation ->) Sometimes even your own messages don’t show up for yourself, but other people can see them. Sometimes they do show up but others can’t see. Sometimes they don’t show up and others can’t see.

I heard from some players that this happens in multiple Roblox games, but they could be wrong. This has been happening for a week or two.

Can you ask HanselRage to restart their clients and try now? We’ve made a small change and we’re wondering if it’ll have an effect.

Great, happy to hear that, @BlazerFazer

Would you all mind restarting Roblox once or twice and then seeing if this still occurs for you as well? We made a change that might correct the behavior.
