@miawnpaws we will investigate soon, given this thread has not been looked at in a while we would like to know if the issue is still reproducible/relevant by you?
I know I’m not the one who made this thread but I am getting a similar issue where the core gui sometimes never loads, even if it does load it takes about a minute straight before it does, it makes working in studio really challenging. Unlike the issue stated in this post no errors appear in the log besides my custom chat front end not being able to check ChatActive
Studio also lags heavily every time a play test is started, the lag is so bad it makes my entire pc unresponsive! The lag is usually when studio finally loads the core gui. It could also be that for some reason it has started unloading everything (even things like fonts) every time a play test is started. This causes massive CPU, Ram, and even Disk usage every time I test and makes it quite hard to work.
