FPS drops significantly when camera is in certain areas of my game in studio

[Please forgive me if I make any errors as this is my first Dev Forum post.]

I have recently had this problem in my game while in studio where in certain parts of the map the FPS would drop to about 20 FPS from 60 FPS instantly. This has only been occurring in studio and the FPS when playing the game on Roblox is just fine so this is a studio only issue. I have no idea what may be causing it as I have restarted studio and my PC multiple times, redownloaded studio and have also found nothing similar on the Dev Forum or Wiki. It has only started as of this weekend and completely halts me from working on my game. I’ve included a YouTube video going through with a micro profiler and FPS counter to show the random FPS drops. I am not very experienced with the micro profiler either so any help would be greatly appreciated. If any other information is needed I would gladly include it. Thanks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip-0zCA06Sg

Have you tried testing and going to the same place where the FPS drop occurred?

Something to consider is that there could be multiple parts in that area. You will need to optimize your part usage in that area.

I Have had this issue once, one of the scripts or the remote events you made in the game might have caused the issue, if its always like that then it could be a computer issue with your graphics card driver or your ram or your space in your pc.

I didn’t think of looking at my computer components at the time for an issue. I have well enough space on my PC with 16 GB of ram and I had just reinstalled my graphics drivers but nothing fixes the issue.

Delete stuff and re add them to see what is causing the issue, i would not try with the buildings or objects in the map, it seems to be more of an script trying to hard on your system.

I have not created any scripts, nor do I have very much scripting experience. Could it maybe script coming from a plug-in? It’s just weird how the lag spikes are only in certain areas too. This also was not a problem whatsoever before I updated studio this past Friday so maybe the update changed something in the studio client? I’m not sure and I’m fearing I may have to wait for a new studio update to hopefully clear it up somehow.

I wanted to put this in #bug-reports but couldn’t post a topic there.

I have had this problem a couple of times before, Not alot though, very uncommon since I usually don’t create big bulky builds. Also, are you in an area with alot of parts, unions? Maybe give us another video of you in an area with less parts and unions!

Its not a bug there is something in your script that is lagging your work its mean as an issue in a script you may have not wrote it as intended and also bug report are for regular trust level member so i think it sure belong to #help-and-feedback:scripting-support if you would put it in bug report you may get a warning from admins

Like maybe a script in a free model got changed to a malicious script or something similar?

I finally fixed the issue and I am posting how I did for future reference or for people with similar issues. I solved the issue weirdly enough by just publishing the Roblox Studio Beta version of my game to the main Roblox Studio version and it somehow cleared up the FPS issue. Thanks to anyone who replied to help!
