Could not open place "" with exception: Unable to open the place bug on specific Team Create place

This bug appears whenever I and my other dev partner attempts to open our game place.
It happened just an hour ago and we are still unable to gain access to the place. It randomly crashed us because we were having network issues and when we tried to regain access, we continue to see this message. Any fixes?

This is likely related to the current problem going on:

Some users have reported not being able to access team create so I’m assuming this is the reason.
Looks like I got ninja’d by iiSquare.

I have the same problem.
Roblox Studio can’t open any team created game. It was normal yesterday and my colleague can open it now.

I think this is related to the account.
With my account, team creation cannot be loaded on all computer(I tried on 3 computers).
Now I use my colleague’s account to login on the computer with this bug, load successfully.

In the meantime you can disable team Create using this api:
https://api.roblox.com/docs?useConsolidatedPage=true

To find the universeId you can goto Develop and select Configure Game from the drop-down for the effected place. The universeId will be in the url of the configure game page. Then you can put it into the API docs page I linked and send the request to disable team Create.

I don’t know if I am right. I filled in the universeId of the game on this page


Then the following problem occurs when loading the game in studio

I found the placeid in the error is right

I’m not sure it’s TeamCreate, it is group games in studio

I think that my message is not being translated clearly to you. I will try to make my message translate better. There will be English words marked like this: .... Please tell me if they are not in English.

The number you are looking at is the place id but you need the universe id. Right click on the place you are trying to access and click configure game (not place). It will take you to this website in a browser and there is a number where it says {gameId}: https://www.roblox.com/universes/configure?id={gameId}

The number is what you need to put in the universeId entry on the page I linked in my last message.

In the request entry where it says isEnabled you need to put false instead of true to turn off team create.

Dont know what im doing wrong. This definetly needs to get fixed soon, because this is preventing me from doing anything.

@kyly1982
I made a mistake, the url is here. Sorry for the confusion. https://develop.roblox.com/docs#!/TeamCreate/patch_v1_universes_universeId_teamcreate

@Rage_QuitteYT
The page you are looking at shows you what the error codes mean. See the link above for a better page. Click the example and change true to false (to disable team create). To find the universe id of a place you can use this API: https://games.roblox.com/docs#!/Games/get_v1_games_multiget_place_details
Simply type the placeId and it will give you the universeId.
@kyly1982 This other API might help you too.

I guess I will have to wait until the fix. I cant even join any games that use team create.

The point of using the API is to disable team create externally.

It works, thank you very much:smile:

Oh, no, disable it will prevent me from working with my colleagues. If enable, all of us can’t load the game from studio.

I found something in log file:
Client has been disconnected with reason: Disconnected due to authentication failure. Please upgrade to the latest version of Roblox and reconnect
TeamCreateDisconnectInfo::setReason: Connection Closed: ReplicatorDisconnect | Disconnected due to authentication failure. Please upgrade to the latest version of Roblox and reconnect

OS:win10 64bit
studio ver: 0.407.0.353595(64bit)

There is a studio update so you need to open studio again. I’m glad I could help you! You may just have to wait for a fix for this issue before you are able to work in team create.

As far as I know, this is the latest version.
At present, the only temporary way to deal with it is re register an account, but it work only one day.
The new account I applied yesterday has the same problem now.That’s very bad!

This log is very useful! I wouldn’t have thought to ask for this but it shows what the problem is. It looks like Team create may still be enabled for your place.

The universeId of your place is this: 1254296344

You’ll need to go here.
Next put this into the request item:

{
  "isEnabled": false
}

The value false means to disable team create. The value true will enable it but you need to disable it.

Next, put this into the universeId item: 1254296344
This is the universe id for your place. The universe for your place can have multiple other places and it says what team create for those places will be.

Finally, click the “Try it out!” button. This will make a request to the API and give it the universe id and the parameter to disable team create. This should allow you to access your place.

As for the error message it looks like the Team create’s own server may be outdated rather than your studio. That means the versions for both of them will be different and studio will think it is outdated since the versions are different.

Yes, we work together to develop games, so we re register an account and enable TC
I know how to disable TC, but If disable, idk new code will be sync to other team members(guess no, that will make work hard)

It seems that I was kicked by server. I checked the server ip, 58.60.13.82 is in China

Yes that is true scripts will no longer sync if you do that. I also noticed this in the new logs: Server Kick Message: DuringJoin,PreauthenticateTicket. Specifically PreauthenticateTicket. That suggests maybe the error has to do with authentication.

Try logging out of studio and then logging back in again and see if that fixes your issue.

Edit: https://developer.roblox.com/api-reference/enum/ConnectionError
If these refer to the same thing, error 257 represents DisconnectBadhash. That suggests authentication might be the issue although I do not know what hash this is referring to.

I’ve tried it more than 20 times. The fault still exists.
