not sure, if its roblox side or mine, there are times its ok and others it takes 20-50 seconds to load in my player.

I’ve had this issue for a long time in studio. Pressing Play in studio to test something quickly can take anything between 0 to 10+ seconds to spawn just the character.

Any update on the feedback / trouble shooting document or other steps being taken to remove this issue?

Since Accurate Play Solo (APS) has been forced, I’ve continuously ran into this issue. More often than not Play Solo isn’t even a viable option to test any more, because publishing and playing the game online is faster.

I have this same performance problem. To load my roblox character in takes around 7 seconds, stalling the game until this happens. If I put a startercharacter in, it immediately lets me get into the game even though that startercharacter takes ~7 seconds to load itself. For debugging and testing it should always load as quickly as possible even if the assets aren’t 100% loaded.

At least there is a workaround for this by adding your own startercharacter but it shouldn’t have to come to that I don’t think.

Also I’m not sure why the characters are taking so long to load, a performance issue with the Roblox servers perhaps? The strange thing is when you run your game on the actual servers the characters that take 7 seconds to load in Studio only take less than a second. Something odd going on with that.

I also got this problem, I tried reinstalling Roblox studio, changing places, resetting all settings, turning on all beta settings and off, restart PC and still didn’t work. I’m on the new M1 Mac mini so the problem is not likely to be on my PC

My avatar loads too slow and sometime it gave error like error loading asset 403 warning

I wasn’t the only one with HTTP 403 warnings I see. I made a bug report about these warnings but they told me to contact Roblox support as they thought it’s an issue on my end. Apparently not.

I found the issue, it was the issue on my game. I just realized the problem was because I had too many assets/parts in the workspace. I was editing HD Admin Main module for my game and I forgot to move it to server storage, that’s why it takes so long to load when play solo in studio

This stopped happening for me a long time ago, @EmeraldSlash is it still happening for you? Thread should probably be locked otherwise so that new reports are made for new issues since this symptom is so generic

Yeah good idea, I have not experienced this issue recently either.
