Game lags when a player dies/resets/etc

I have tried everything from other devforum articles such as:

Game get lag when died

Every player is getting something like lag when died or resetted . To explain what is happening this is what happening : -When Resetted or died nothing happens to game but stays in death screen not going back to spawn -you wait long time and you go to spawn ( I looked to the game’s settings respawning time is only 5 ) your character is half loaded You cant see your head and shirt and pant a little time ( exapmle 20-30 second ) Your shirt and head is loaded but you write something on chat and…

How to fix sever lag on death?

In my gun game (It uses FE gun kit btw) when you die it sometimes causes a lot of lag, like sometimes itll freeze your screen or sometimes make the ping of everyone in the server go very high, it did this before I even had a map so i dont think it has to do with my map or anything, please help.

Lag in game - Can't find out what

I would tackle this problem which appears to be large into small pieces I can handle. So as you know your game why not try telling us about the parts of it. For example what does a player get in the way of tools. If there is combat how is that handled. Do you do teleportation? Do you use the DataStore? Does the problem get worse the more players are playing.

and many more.
However, none of these have worked for me.
I have no loose humanoids, no while trues, and it still lags when the player dies.


If you know any other optimization methods, please let me know

TLDR: it works fine in solo playtesting in studio, but when we do a teamtest or play in roblox when one person dies the game freezes for some seconds, please let me know any ways to fix it

Do you have a lot of Humanoid.Died events or Player.CharacterRemoving events connected to callbacks?

[BadDad2004]

@Forummer

Player.CharacterRemoving

And CharacterAdded events…

[Forummer]

He mentioned it was exclusively when a player dies/resets but if the respawn time is 0 then yes CharacterAdded events could also be contributing to the observed lag.

ill check for those, might have them. I only think i have 1 but i could be completely wrong

[Jamstoe (Jamsteo)]

and theres 1 result for the .died function, but this is just to remove the viewmodel when a player dies, as i move it to the workspace so it is visible

[aninfiniteinferno (aiden)]

Even if you have 1, lack of disconnections can make a lot of events overlap and cause lag.

[Jamstoe (Jamsteo)]

what do you mean by a lack of disconnections? not sure i’m following

[aninfiniteinferno (aiden)]

If the :Connect() is used in a script that runs multiple times in the same environment, you need to Disconnect it in order to prevent lag.

[Jamstoe (Jamsteo)]

ill look up some doccumentation, that could be the reason because i dont think i have ever heard of it

edit: found it Events | Roblox Creator Documentation

[Jamstoe (Jamsteo)]

I have just tried this, and it still happens
what i did:

for each :connect() i made it a variable and when the player dies it disconnects all of them, and the stuff all still works, but when you reset or die by other means it still lags, did i do something wrong doing it like this or is this how it should be?

editing quick to say that im going to take a while to try to figure it out by process of elimination

[Jamstoe (Jamsteo)]

wow im an idiot.

alright i figured it out, one unneeded script was causing it for some reason, fixed it now

[Jamstoe (Jamsteo)]

INCASE YOU WERE WONDERING: code

game.ReplicatedStorage.GUI.GetPlayer.OnServerEvent:Wait()

script.Tool.Handle.Anchored = false

script.Tool.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent

script:Destroy()
