Free-cam bug in all places

Hello! This is my first post here so sorry if nothing is correct! (I also can’t post in the bug section so this is the closest topic I can post it to). I’ve been having issues with the shift+p control on all places I’ve created in and out of Roblox Studio. For some reason in every place I’ve created free-cam seems to break and nothing seems to fix it. I’ve tried restarting both Roblox Studio and the Roblox app multiple times but to no avail.

Here are a few pictures of the issue:



Whenever I use the shift+p command it works initially, but I can’t slow down the camera or exit it properly. When I exit the camera it zooms into my head and doesn’t let me do anything else. I’ve tried to search through here and other platforms but haven’t been able to find anyone with this issue.

The issue does NOT occur when I open a brand new baseplate and don’t save it. I’ve also tried this on multiple baseplates without any scripts or anything to ensure there was no virus on models I’ve taken off the toolbox or anything like that. I would really appreciate a response on this, thank you!

Same issue. I have a custom free-cam script and I thought my code was the issue.

Yes, the camera does not work as it should, I tried to fix it, of course it turned out a little with defects in the form of sticking, that is, to activate and turn it off you need to press 2 times, but it works nevertheless. All that was needed was to assign new variables and replace them in Push. Also replace pop in the function (I recommend adding local ones completely to everything so that the functions are complete if necessary, since I set everything else manually)

You also need to add a script for deleting a standard free camera
And to put it briefly, a map with ready-made solutions will be attached!

A free camera and a script to remove the standard one are already there!
Roughly speaking, if this is noticed, then there is an option to wait it out. But if they still don’t notice this, then you’ll have to customize this script to the end.

Thank you, i’ll definetly try this later. I’m hoping this bug doesn’t last forever since I always use the freecam for everything. but thank you nonetheless!

I have the same issue and it is very annoying when trying to check for issues with my map without having to fly around etc. Hopefully we find a fix to this again (that is permanent) like how this happened back mid last year.

Edit: recently noticed that aswell as this bug sometimes chat doesn’t load fully, sometimes in-chat messages don’t have usernames and don’t translate properly either. - Hopefully this is fixed by roblox soon :pray:

Glad to know this isn’t just me. It’s been happening in every single game I have free cam access to and at first I thought it was just lag

Same issue! Awful, I have to rejoin every time I use it by accident.

Just as an update, I’m still having this problem and it hasn’t been fixed. It seems that there is a new issue with Roblox every day.

Had this issue yesterday with the Roblox Shift+P freecan, the only way for me to fix my camera was rejoining or using admin commands to refresh myself via command bar.
