I was programming an experience owned under a group and got thisbug in studio, so I tried opening a previous version of the game that was working correctly. On trying to open this previous version, I get this error.

Thanks for the report! We’ll follow up when we have an update for you.
Hi, what version of the game was it? Possible to send the corrupted version/file via DM?
Yup, will send you the file now!
Hey, any word on this? I still receive an error. Same game
Do you think this could be because I have permissions to edit that specific game, but not permission to edit all group experiences as a role?
Hi. I want to check a few things
This bug is still here. Happens to me if i try to open any older version of a game that i’m not the owner of (We could not open the place [0]. HTTP 409, Incident ID: 4796357149678498911)
team create is weird sometimes.
Can you share how you have edit access to these games that you aren’t an owner of?
I have the same issue opening an older version of a game owned by a user (that I have team create on). the file itself is always 0kb and same happens if you try to download the game from the website.
a friend gave them to me on team create. he did not use anything external to do that, by the way.
Thanks for bringing up this issue! After some investigation, this looks like we do not currently support this behavior. Currently, only the game owner has the permission to view older versions. You’ll need to ask the owner to open the place at the specified version and send you the place file. We are planning to do some work to fix this in the future but for now we’d like to understand your use case some more. Is this a common use case for you? When do you find yourself looking to open an older version of your place? How far back do you usually look?
While I know I’m not the intended recipient of this message, I work with (and have worked in the past with) teams that use ROBLOX, and had to frequently request past versions of experiences to recover work or double-check something was right between changes. Some of them even had time-zones on the other side of the world and had to wait additional time to get an old place file.
Generally, the full version history would be useful as they would be looking back at any point from project development (or from when they joined the team) to the current progress.
I thought for all this time it was just an internet connection issue when accessing experiences, but knowing it’s actually just unsupported is bizarre. Being able to let developers with access to a community’s experience view the place history (for the start place and other connected places to an experience) would be immensely useful for scenarios like above.
Thanks Claire! I’m sorry this has been such a pain point for you and I appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback. This is very helpful as we look to improve this workflow. We agree that it is a bit unusual that this use-case isn’t supported; it must have missed it in our initial implementation of the feature.
I completely understand why it happens.
As a tool developer for game engines, we have a lot to cover when building tools and sometimes not enough time to cover it all. So I hope to see the feature come in soon, but I also wish the studio team the best of luck while adding it in. These kinds of things take time to get right too.
Wishing you & the team all the best!
