This has started happening a lot more for me recently. I feel like every time I try use Find All there is a 50/50 chance studio will crash.
It seems to happen only when I have some text already selected then press ctrl shift F, or when the find all window opens and the search bar is already filled from a previous search
I am experiencing the same problem. It happens about 50% of the times.
What precisely happens is that the “Find all” shows nothing, then if I click on anything in Studio, it freezes the window indefinitely.
We’re continuing to look at this with little luck reproducing in-house. We have some theories (based on our crash logs) on how this is happening and will try to address those.
We’ll keep you posted.
Can confirm this issue still exists. So far it seems to be completely random, but recently it has happened a lot more. Before it would be after a couple uses of the find all feature it would freeze and crash studio. But just now it crashed studio on the first time I’ve used it, 3 times in a row.
I have a decent PC. This crash whenever you try to replace all on a big scales. 100+ scripts. However, the process is incredibly quick when you download the place, and do it offline. Also, after the crash, I cannot edit that experience as it would load up all those scripts and freeze the studio. Even when I reverted the version to before the edit, those script would still appear causing freezing. Left my PC overnight hoping it would load, but it still froze.
We have an issue queued up for this quarter for something similar, when replacing something in many scripts in TeamCreate, Studio can freeze or crash.
When you say “offline” I assume you mean local file as opposed to TeamCreate, right?
Yeah. Do it on a local file finish the process in less than a second.
This freeze went away for maybe a month. It seems to be back now. Its so frustrating, I have to avoid using “find all” for fear of having to force restart studio. Maybe the latest update broke it again? Or else I’ve just been lucky for the past few weeks till now.
And I use it a lot(when it works). So now I guess I’m back to not using it for a while.
I only experience this issue when trying to replace a large amount of scripts with a lot of lines.
The most irritating thing is, when it white screens, it never comes back, forcing you to close studio- when you reload studio sometimes it messes up half of the scripts, deleting some code or adding parts of what you’re replacing onto them.
Example:
Replace “Hello!” with “Hello There”
It would then output: “Hel,” into the script after you reload after the crash which causes errors.
Thank you for letting us know, we’re actively working on this, and it seems like some of our efforts were paying off… for a while.
Please let me know if you see any change with this and we’ll also keep you posted with our progress. (Which is, right now, back to looking for more causes of this.)
I am having a similar issue on my Mac. When I click on a result in the Find All / Replace All (It lets me search), Studio crashes. I meant to post a while back, but It won’t let me post bugs for some reason, so I suppose I will here.
Reproduction Steps
Reproduction Files
I messaged the crash report from my Mac.
System Information:
Mac Studio 2022 M1 Max 64GB Memory
Expected Behavior
After clicking on an item in the results of the Find all/ Replace All it should take me to that script.
Actual Behavior
After clicking on an item in the results of the Find all/ Replace All it crashes and closes studio immediately.
Issue Area: Studio
Issue Type: Crashing
Impact: Moderate
Frequency: Always
Also having this issue. It seems to be a 50/50 chance when I Ctrl + Shift + F any text. I’ve had it happen a few minutes after opening studio. It happens every day usually dozens of times.
I notice it most when I Find All with text already selected, but it still does occur when I type text in.
Any updates on this? I used Find All / Replace All by accident, and after it opened around 100 scripts, my studio froze. Every time I open that studio file, it still is frozen. After reinstalling studio, the game opened the first time without problems, but any consecutive tries freeze my studio yet again. I need an update on this because it’s causing major workflow problems.
I’m attempting to replace 2,134 results with a blank (single whitespace). Upon doing so, studio stops responding (and does not recover)
In this instance, it appears that the mass quantity of items is causing the crash (similar to using ctrl+A on a massive workspace). Is this something I can mitigate somehow? A malicious plugin inserted hundreds of lines of code that I need to batch replace but because of this issue my only option is to manually remove 2134 lines of code from 498 files.
I do not think that is the cause. I’ve tried replacing words that only appear in 1 or 2 scripts and it still crashed. I also do not think this is caused by having a large amount of scripts in the game as I remember a while back making a baseplate place with a few scripts and still having the crash happen. Though again this was a while back, like maybe 2 months ago. I will say recently I’ve noticed the crash has not happened and I’ve felt safer using the find all feature, but I don’t want to jinx it 
I think you’re right, I think it has to do with the number of scripts. I’ve noticed it doesn’t crash on other games with less scripts.
Hi,
It looks like the Auto-save and Find and Replace All are colliding. We don’t have a fix on this yet and will keep you posted as we progress on this.
We have changes coming to revise the current find/replace functionality, and this will be addressed with those changes. Thanks again!
