Can't join game, stuck on "Requesting Server", weird log files being left behind

Bug Reports Engine Bugs
#1

Whenever I try launching this game my client never gets past the “Requesting Server” screen. I’m taking a guess based on previous experience that this is the case for anyone who tries joining this game. This occurs 100% of the time I try to join this game.

I glanced at my log files and saw this guy sitting in here, it seems the message is spammed into that log every second while your client is open.

If anyone could help I’d greatly appreciate it, I need to release this game in a couple months and if Roblox won’t even load it I’m screwed.

EDIT:
When running a test server in Studio, a lot of the servers scripts that run on a continuous loop throw “timeout before resuming thread” errors and just stop working entirely.

please help

Are you able to run servers locally?
ROBLOX might be able to help you if you can find a specific crash happening.

#4

Running servers locally works perfectly fine.

EDIT:
I just remembered this, whenever I run a test server most scripts that use a continuous loop throw a “timeout before resuming thread” error and just stop completely.

just a heads up next time dont post stuff like joinScript because (if i recall the scam that happened awhile ago correctly) people can log in as you through studio and avoid 2factor (if this wasnt patched).

not an issue now because it was null, but just know.

#6

Noted. I didn’t realize this was a potential security hole.

#7

so this is still a massive issue, still occurring in place linked in OP

#8

Do you think the servers you’re trying to join are servers being shut down? I’m getting repeated reports that my game is triggering my BindToClose function and I’m not shutting down any servers right now.

#9

I’m also experiencing something similar here, where servers rarely successfully start (and if they do, they most likely take a good five minutes) and ghost servers that are unable to be shut down pop up on every attempt to join the game.

@wish_z I don’t believe so, I don’t think the server is getting far enough to even trigger BindToClose.

#10

Maybe try running Google Analytics on the server to see what events are occurring, and if it stops responding at a specific point. If you can isolate what triggers the issue, then you might be able to make a crash report.

Alternatively, I’d start by removing chunks from your game until you can get your client to join correctly so you can isolate what’s causing it.
