check the server region, roblox puts you in servers depending on your location, are you using a vpn?

and btw in studio when you play test you run the game on a local server

i am not on a vpn + the game is just a test game so it has 0 players, when i join a regular server as i said, i spike when i use proximity prompts

Actually there are lot of reasons for as roblox player takes more lag than studios like high ram usage and ping

I could be wrong, but I believe when you play in studio, your client and server are both local on your computer and communicate directly to one another. In other words, your computer is just communicating to itself during a studio test. In a real game, your computer communicates with one of Roblox’s remote servers. That is also why there are differences between in-studio tests and live server tests.

Edit: I just realized this is what qChronos mentioned as well, and I second his reply.
