Characters get stuck when spawning

This has been an issue for a long time, when spawning in some games, you get stuck like your welded to someone or something.

I can’t move or anything until the person below is gone.
Respawning does not fix it, sometimes it does.

I am not sure how to repro it, I never see how it starts.

I notice this happens if the player below you is still loading the game, or they have a slow connection.

In Script Builders this happens a lot.
It’s because sometimes someone respawns everybody at once, and everyone spawns at the same position.
If this happens, it can be “fixed” by kicking the player that’s stuck.
(Sometimes it’s easy to spot if the animations haven’t started yet for his character)

Respawning just puts you again in that tower of doom.
A good solution is teleporting the character to somewhere else.
(Not sure how far you have to tp. 1 stud? 10 studs? in SBs the average tp distance is 20studs so eh, not sure)

Shedletsky left an unfixable bug to gradually sabotage Roblox confirmed.

I’ve developed for 5 years and I still can’t explain this bug even if I observed for as long. My best guess is shared physics locking priority of other characters to the loading player and effectively taking away character control from the rest of the players.

It could also be auto-joints between characters, but that sounds highly unlikely.

Now that you mention it, I think @Davidii was having some problems with his NPCs spawning and creating joints with nearby players.

Bump, this is still happening

Thank god this happens to someone else, too!

All the players of my game experience this from time-to-time. Equipping a tool solves this issue completely (or somtimes just waiting a few minutes).

I experience this for games other than my own, too, usually when I spawn on top of another player, I get stuck until they move and I fall off of their head.

This is a quite interesting bug and I have made multiple attempts at a replication but was unable to find anything that may cause this.

Yes! This is happening at one of my games and it prevents anyone else from moving around, it’s been there for yeaaaars, surprised it’s still an issue.

Hello this is future me, we still have this in the future.
