Having a lot of open scripts/windows will slow down studio by a lot

Having a lot of scripts/windows open in ROBLOX Studio will cause it to freeze whenever you open and close a new script/window. This issue also causes ROBLOX Studio to take ages to load up any place with a large amount of scripts open. The issue becomes exponentially worse the more scripts you have open overall.

Right now one of my places can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 30+ minutes to load up with a lot of scripts open while a copy of that place with no scripts open would take just a few seconds to load. After the place with a lot of scripts open loaded, working within it becomes insanely slow and painful as absolutely every single property that opens and closes up a new window will freeze studio for a good few seconds every time.

Reproduction

  • Simply create a place, add in a good amount of scripts (30+). Studio should freeze trying to load new windows and take an extended amount of time to load that new place back up.

Workaround

  • Simply just close all and any scripts, and never keep them open.

Along with the fact that now studio itself now also takes way longer to open and will freeze for a good few seconds after you’ve opened a place. Here’s a visual example of this.

Also play-testing is completely broken, it will freeze studio the moment you start play testing and will kick you out after a good minute with this error.

Hi! We have feature improvements coming to ensure Studio performance when many tabs are open. This is landing in January. In the meantime the workaround is to limit the number of open tabs. If you have any questions just let us know. Thanks again!

The fix has now shipped. After a Studio restart places with a large number of scripts open should now load much faster.
