Reproduction Steps
I don’t know what the cause of this is but it is very intrusive and preventing me from reading actual logs from the console while debugging my game

Expected Behavior
I expect the console to display useful information and not useless spam

I am having this issue as well right after it updated my roblox studios.

TYSM for posting this here :).

This error stopped happening in one of my games but is still occurring in the others.

#4

We’re seeing this warning in our games as well, we weren’t sure if we caused it.

#5

Hi thanks for reporting this. Do you think you can send an rbxl file of your place so I can take a look? Thanks!

Would this have something to do with “hsr mesh id data for (LIMB) is empty when upload” errors I’m receiving on my place as well?

Happens whenever I publish my place to the website.

This is happening in every one of our games live+studio. I don’t think this is specific game related.

#8

This has happend In everyones games, I don’t think its game specified as said above.

#9

Are you guys having problem accessing your datastore because of that error? because I can’t access mine because of that error. It won’t load my game.

#10

No, since it’s only a warning, it won’t stop the script.

#11

It’s weird, my game doesn’t load in my studio because of that error

#13

I have the same bug but also I get spammed with these whenever I use the testing mode under the “Clients and Servers” tab:

I made a temporary fix for that. Let me know if the warning does not show up if you restart the studio.
Also, it will be helpful if you can send a place that has warnings shown before so I can take a deep investigation into it and see if some cases are missing. Thanks and sorry for the trouble!

I can confirm that the problem has been resolved as I experienced the same issue before.

#16

Can also confirm the issue is now fixed on my end!

#17

Yeah it doesn’t show anymore. Hopefully someone can send a place that has this warning so the roblox staff can take a deep investigation of the problem. I wanted to send my place but I don’t have the permission to do so.

#18

Now I am seeing this in the server output: Failed to upload hidden surface removal data. Exceeded limit. Try again in a few minutes. (x319) - Studio

#19

Hi after publishing the place, is the problem fixed for you? If it is, can you file another bug report for the new one? Thanks!

#20

The error is still happening today in Studio in the output window when I publish. See the screenshot from studio below. Interesting that the number changed between the two publishs. I did a “publish to Roblox as” and overwrote an existing test place.

I am unable to file a new bug report. Can you rank me to regular member so I can?

I published again, the next day, and now it worked with no “hidden surface removal. Exceeded limit.” messages. Maybe the limit was increased? If so, thank you.

I continued to experience this message since February, but yesterday was able to identify the source of this error in my game:

3 skinned accessories were the problem. They included WrapLayers that were not functioning correctly. Removing the WrapLayer eliminated this message!

The WrapLayer issue:

The inner and outer cages I had assigned to them were broken because of an old loading issue for custom avatars.:

That’s all. The import failed, the WrapLayer never worked, and the existence of a broken WrapLayer produces this error message while saving.
