Game settings options screen can freeze/softlock studio

It does this everyone for my and it doesn’t unfreeze and I can’ close it. It’s really annoying because I need to change to R6 but I can’t because it keeps freezing. I’m going to try just leaving it there and waiting until it loads no matter if It takes an hour or a month

Hi everyone thanks for raising this, I’m on the Studio team and we’re looking at this now. We don’t have an ETA yet (since at the moment it doesn’t appear universal and we haven’t nailed down the root cause). But please feel free to comment in this thread if you get more information as it could help with our investigation. Thanks again!

I have the same issue, and it’s been occurring a lot recently. You can close Studio with task manager instead of letting it sit. I hope this helps.

I can’t join any group games to develop on them, now my project is delayed! Please help.

Can also replicate this 100%, I thought it was just me.

This started happening to me recently, this error appeared in the console:

Failed builtin_GameSettings.rbxm.GameSettings.Pages.SecurityPage.Controllers.SecurityController:18: HttpResponse = { responseTimeMs : 166.05854034424, responseCode : 403, responseBody : { errors : table: 0x6cb44549c03adce7 }, requestOptions : { Headers : table: 0xb5042ab391a33ab7, Url : https://develop.roblox.com/v2/universes/1623898842/configuration, Method : PATCH, Body : {“permissions”:{“IsThirdPartyPurchaseAllowed”:false}} } }

Is there any way to publish the place when it’s frozen? I’m in this situation right now, and I’m unsure if I should close studio. I have alot of unsaved work.

It might autosave if your lucky, but you cannot publish if its frozen

Check your autosaves directory, if there is a recent one there, you should be fine

This happens consistently on my Mac, for the last couple updates, at least… In “Game Settings”, changes to permissions, game info etc. The changes save, but the then studio freezes to the point that I have to kill the process and start over. The monetization section seems a little better, but I had it crash once there, while I was putting in a new value.

I didn’t report this sooner, only because I was trying to determine if it was the fault of my computer. Anyway, thanks in advance for your hard work to fix this. :slight_smile:

FYI, I think the issue started after the update that allowed Third Party Sales in the Security section.

Loving the fact we can no longer use the website to edit certain settings, in favor of a broken built-in system.

It’s not even only in security, although that was how I got this bug a while back. I had already published my game to change the avatar type but I can’t even do that without freezing studio :confused:

Something strange that occurs when the window freezes is that your character gets cloned and positioned in front of the camera. In the video provided you can see how the window is freezed and when I move it, my character is there. It was not there before. This only happens sometimes*

I was getting this issue. Checked logs and it was full of forbidden errors.
Logged out and back in again and it’s fixed the problem.

This has happened to me all the time. Not a single time I can remember it didn’t freeze. An easy way to get out of it without shutting down your PC is just to use task manager if autosaves frequently. Ctrl+Alt+Delete, Select Task Manager, Right Click Studio, Click End Task

This also occurs for me when really doing anything in Game Settings. It’s so annoying.
I always have to kill the task.

It also happens to me. But its because the wrote nil instead of the number or something like that as it says in the output. I think it will be fixed soon. For now before opening game settings save your game so you wont lose progress.

I think I found a temporary fix… If you turn on your team create then it won’t freeze somehow. I recommend you you to turn it on and then try maybe?
