On any place in Roblox Studio, if the Lighting’s Technology property is set to Future, the place will freeze and Roblox Studio will crash without warning. In addition, if a place that already has Future lighting enabled is opened, Roblox Studio will freeze and crash without warning.
Attached below is a video of me reproducing the bug on a blank Baseplate template with no alterations:
I have also attempted to join certain games on the Roblox player, which results in Roblox immediately crashing. I believe that this only occurs to games which have future lighting enabled, which may be related to this bug.
Here is a replication of this bug when I attempt to join a game with Future lighting enabled.
Here is a list of the things I have attempted to try and fix the bug. All of these were unsuccessful, and resulted in no change to the bug:
Reinstalling Roblox and Roblox Studio multiple times
Restarting my computer multiple times
(Under the Rendering tab in Settings) Changing Roblox Studio’s Editor Quality Level to Level 01.
(Under the Rendering tab in Settings) Changing Roblox Studio’s Graphics Mode (Direct3D11, OpenGL, Vulkan, Automatic)
Disabling all Plugins installed
Enabling the Unified Lighting beta feature (When enabled, no places are able to be opened or created, and Studio crashes immediately)
Doing a clean boot
System Information:
Computer: ASUS Zenbook S14 UX5406SA
Operating System: Windows 11
CPU: Intel(R) Core™ Ultra 7 258V
Memory: 32.0GB
GPU: Intel(R) Arc™ 140V GPU (16GB)
Expected behavior
If everything was working correctly, I should be able to open any place with Future lighting enabled, as well as set a place’s Lighting Technology to Future without Studio crashing.
I should also be able to join any published game which uses Future lighting without immediately crashing.
Opening any existing place using Unified lighting beta (attempted solution mentioned above)
Joining a Roblox game using Future lighting
[UPDATE 2] I have found a temporary workaround to part of this issue by using Vulkan rendering and Unified Lighting (realistic). This prevents Studio from crashing.
You need to attach your log files in a private message. If you have already, you should include a link to the DM in this post to make it easier for staff to find (the DM itself is private).
Added a workaround to the bug report that addresses Studio crashing (Vulkan + Unified Lighting), thanks to @PlushSkin for sharing this method. It appears that I am not the only person encountering this issue.
This is also affecting my son’s laptop that is also using 258V processor (Lunar Lake).
Yoga Slim 7 15ILL9. Attempting to launch a roblox game using future lighting instantly closes the application, tried numerous workarounds w/o success + clean driver install, latest GPU driver etc.
Hey, it looks like your son and I are facing the same issue here with the same exact laptop model. I have already made a bug report as well and is currently communicating with them via the Roblox support through their email. Currently, they have only told me to try the common ways to help fix the issue but have tried all without success.
This works on my laptop! Thank you for sharing this workaround.
For anyone else experiencing this issue and reading this, I added all Roblox executables to the list: RobloxPlayerBeta, RobloxPlayerLauncher, RobloxPlayerInstaller, and RobloxStudioBeta.
Am currently looking into this issue so ya’ll won’t have to be doing this for long hopefully. This issue seems specific to Arc GPUs and from what I can tell there’s a strong correlation to Ultra Intel CPUs specifically. I’m trying to get my hands on one of these machines internally.
While I’m trying to get my hands on this hardware, would you be willing to help with a repro by any chance? I need an account to temporarily bind to a testing channel to tell if this is a new configuration issue or if its like inherent to the hardware and a fix needs to be shipped.
