Global Wind is not affecting terrain's animated grass

After some time away from studio, I returned to start a terrain project, only to find that the grass is not being affected by global wind strength at all. This also happens when using the roblox client itself.

Global wind does affect the clouds, but not the grass:


I have checked beta features and even re-installed studio entirely to attempt to fix this, but to no avail. What is going on here? It even occurs in team create, yet someone that I was working with can see global wind affecting the grass just fine. I also can’t find any topics addressing this issue on the forums, or anywhere for that matter. Could I be overlooking a certain setting? Is this a new bug that hasn’t been reported yet? Hoping I’m not the only one experiencing this.

Hi! I’m having a pretty similar problem. Did you find a solution?

No, unfortunately not. I have attempted clean re-installs of both studio and the client and still remains the same. Some other peers don’t see this problem on theirs, so I’m sort of at a loss unless Roblox catches wind of it.

:frowning: Maybe we should make a bug report for this thing?

Facing the same issue, has a bug report been created?

No, but I think the reason for this bug could be outdated graphics drivers or simply the fact that your PC has legacy hardware. I just want to know your PC specifications since that might be the issue.

So, I want to know that before making a report to include more information in it.

Yup, facing the same issue here. The grass leans where the wind is headed but it is not animating in actual client. But it works in studio :confused:

My PC is about 1.5 years and i updated my graphics drivers like 3 months ago.

Specs are as follows:
GPU: rx 6800xt
CPU: i5-13600KF
RAM: 32GB
OS: Windows 11 Home

For me it does actually work properly in the roblox client, but not in studio

I just resetted my PC and grass was fixed (though, Idk will this method work for others)

Unfortunately I have tried also restarting my PC, clean as well. This is still an issue going on - and apparently rising steadily - which makes me believe this is a problem with roblox internally somewhere and I’m surprised they haven’t caught on yet. Yes, drivers are up to date. No, I don’t have faulty hardware or anything; my pc is rather up to date with needed specs for basically everything.
