Gui renders not updating online

Bug Reports Engine Bugs
#1

This is a weird one. I have a gui that I’m fading in and out as a tooltip. It works fine in studio but online the gui elements just stop changing their appearance in accordance with what I’m doing.

Anyone know what the deal is? How do I fix this?

Edit: Apparently people can’t see my videos. Right click and open the video in a new ta to view it.

I don’t know why but I cannot see videos from you :confused:

Well, I for one think the second video makes the text stand out more. It really captures my focus.

#5

Doesn’t work on mobile. All I can do is to download it, but even then the video is empty.

#6

You’re doing that from a LocalScript, right?
(otherwise shame on you)

#7

Yes, everything works fine offline. My code works fine in all cases. This is a rendering issue that only happens online.

#8

I assume that means you’re using a localscript

Does it work in Start Server / Start Player?
(if nothing goes wrong there, it’s probably a bug that’s only in the client, whatever that might mean)

#9

I don’t understand where the miscommunication is. It works fine in all offline cases, it renders wrong online. Its a bug with rendering.

Another gif:

The gui rendering updates in the middle of the gif so you know all the guis are where they should be. They just don’t update sometimes.

#11

You should include a reproduction and possibly your system specs if this only happens on your machine.

#12

This happens on my PC and both my laptops.

#13

I think I’ve seen a similar issue to this and it happened when there were a lot of GUI instances being rendered on screen. Could that be the case here?

#14

I know that when I have too much (surface)GUIs, all 2D elements (including CoreGui) become invisible.
Maybe for Sharksie it results in this thing.

I also tried joining the place (I think it’s the pizza one), but I get “Not allowed” :frowning:

#15

Still don’t know what’s up with this. This bug will seriously affect my game if I can’t figure out the problem, and that would suck.
