Regarding the deprecation of R6, I made a post a while back explaining how everything is going to be fine, and that, yes, R6 games can continue to operate as if nothing happened. I know there’s a negative stigmatism surrounding Roblox’s actions on their past, but they would never completely get rid of R6.

Really excited for all the improvements to Studio, the engine, and what not. However I do have a few concerns and questions:
-
Will R6 be completely wiped off the platform from its current state?
– To my knowledge, it won’t but if it does, how will the new “R15” converted version work? Will it be exactly the same (in terms of physics)? Or will there be noticeable differences? -
I’ve seen other people mention this, but how drastic is the “Studio UI” change going to be?
– Will it look like an entirely different program? Will there be a way to revert back if (depending on the user’s choice)? -
What ever happened to the whole Humanoid physics changes?
– To be clearer, I think it was called “Humanoid Controllers”, or something along those lines. Maybe I’m blind, but I don’t see it anywhere in the Delayed section. -
My final concern(s) are about the pure number of delayed features. I’m not trying to sound negative, but it’s really disappointing to see over 20 features that just haven’t made it into play. I’d like to know why, or even just what features are closer to being done than others, almost like a graph.
That’s all I really have to say. Like I’ve stated above, I’m super excited for the upcoming features, but I feel that I’m more concerned than optimistic.
As always, cheers!

There needs to be a fix for body parts clipping through walls and stuff. Really needed in the FPS community

Will there be debugging tools to detect this happening?

They keep delaying this, it’s really frustrating and unfortunate especially considering their lack of care when it comes to acknowledging reports and doing ban waves themselves.

Still no layerable SurfaceAppearances.
Come on Roblox, I’ve been asking for years! This is REALLY important.

Well unfortunately that’s just something that you likely wont get Roblox to budge on. Corporate documents leaked that showed that they at minimum intended or considered removing R6 entirely. Also if I recall correctly the whole R6->R15 conversion is meant to eventually go from Opt-In to Opt-Out once Roblox arbitrarily determines it has become good enough or something. Roblox (probably) considers R6 as outdated tech and they likely want to drop support for it as soon as they believe its convenient to them, the least that could be done to soften the blow is ensure that the conversion tool gets as close to 100% replication as possible.

Are features that were already released last year still being worked on? I haven’t migrated to TextChatService yet because it still lacks some of the features that the legacy chat system had.

What about dynamic skies? That was a necessary feature, It has been delayed since almost 4 years and it only got a few updates over time.

Public audio? It’s time to talk about the audio update… it’s been so long… I prefer an announcement that says that public audio will not return rather than this radio silence for more than 2 years!

R6 is really only outdated because Roblox chooses to not update it

Well, I don’t know about you, but it seems like most of the community would agree that R6 is great, and should be kept.
I recognize my little post won’t help, but if the entire community lashes back against that, then Roblox might have to budge before it impacts shareholders.

Fitering by Content Type is free! Why would you remove that? The only outcome I see is worse results (which are already bad)

I agree that R6 should be maintained instead of trying to be infused into R15 in some weird half-R6 half-R15 contraption but I doubt that it would be something that Roblox budges on.
Honestly I don’t believe that the removal of R6 would truly be something that would indirectly affect the stocks of Roblox and therefore impact the shareholders much. I feel like the majority of people will at most be annoyed for a couple of days and then just move on playing Roblox as they were prior (with at most having to deal with R15.)
Main reason this wouldn’t affect Roblox financially is because there really isn’t any alternative platform. I mean just look at the market. You have Roblox on the top will hundreds of millions of people playing on the platform every day across thousands and thousands of experiences. Meanwhile a lot of the alternative platforms are struggling to even get thousands or even hundreds of people playing on the platform per-day.
Reddit was able to essentially stick the middle finger to ever 3rd party client creator with their API changes and even with the mass protest that happened throughout that period, I would argue that Reddit went overall unaffected by that change (some users may have left but most stayed or really didn’t care about what changed.) Roblox would likely be unaffected by a similar situation happening.

just waiting for some type of “performance update” to studio. at the moment, just having studio opened makes my computer suffer from ram usage
and the worse thing is having it opened with a browser, say goodbye to your processor
also where are performance fixes for future lightning? idk if the android future lightning update will fix this, but at the moment, when in future lightning, the transition from graphics level 3 to graphics level 4 is horrible. for low end pcs, graphics 3 is the maximum level to enable when in future lightning.

At the last Roblox Developers Conference, you stated that Roblox itself will be more accountable and transparent to developers.
In my case, Roblox recently erroneously removed my catalog asset three times without my knowledge, totaling 3 weeks of the asset being offline. I have lost 3 weeks of revenue due to a Roblox error that is still not fixed.
There was no transparency and Roblox never notified me when this happened. There is no accountability to compensate me for the lost revenue, and no accountability to fix an ongoing problem in a timely manner.

There are currently so many more features that deserve the most attention. All of those Updates are specifically for looks.
