Hello, Devs.

Recently, I’ve been getting this god-awful pop-up window thing whenever I playtest on studio; and it seems there’s nothing I can do to get rid of it. At first, I tried to let it not bother me but now it’s beginning to impede on my work and I need to get rid of it.

Here’s an image of what I’m talking about. There’s nothing I can do to get rid of it and now it’s getting in my way.

Any advice helps, I’ve already tried restarting studio and that hasn’t worked. I’m also running the Mac version of studio if that helps at all.

This seems to be some sort of malware. Search for all require( and getfenv( in your scripts.

I almost wish it was malware because that would be easier to fix. I created a new baseplate with nothing in it and got the exact same result.

It is added in by one of your plugins, so it would not happen if you disable your malicious plugin.

#5

Nope. Just updated and uninstalled all my plugins, even the ones I made and it’s still appearing. I think it’s a problem with Studio itself but I’m not entirely sure.

#6

Is this GUI floating above a point in your Workspace or is it stuck on your screen?

#7

As you said here, you need to uninstall it not just disable it, plus you will need to try it on a new baseplate to ensure it worked, as it might have infected your scripts.

#8

It’s like a GUI stuck on my screen. I just searched my explorer and I couldn’t find any instances of it so It’s note a GUI made by a script (At least I don’t know of any ways a script could hide a GUI from the explorer).

#9

Could you please locate and screenshot this in your Explorer tab while testing the game:

Players > [Your name] > PlayerGui

Please include a screenshot of everything included in this folder.

#10

It’s probably in the CoreGui. Go to File > Studio Settings > Show Core GUI in Explorer. Try deleting it there and see if that fixes the problem.

Cool that worked. I was able to find it under CoreGui > PlayerList > PlayerListMaster. I’ll mark as solution for now because it fixes my initial issue, however this doesn’t explain why it keeps popping up. Thanks for your help, bro!

#12

Player list is supposed to be there… it’s the built in player list. Just tested it out in my studio. Except mine does look quite a bit different. Not sure what the issue is there.

#13

The main issue was that the PlayerListMaster was just popping up in the middle of my screen out of nowhere. I couldn’t move it and it was completely un-interactive (Although it still highlights when you hover the mouse over it). The only way I was able to close it was through CoreGui. I’m not sure this is intended or not but if it is, it’s terrible design lol.

#14

You might have a malicious plugin.
I can suggest you some anti viruses for the game, maybe that will help. Some Malware’s are getting really over powered and black out your screen too.

#15

I didn’t get a chance to say this last time because I just solved the issue, but I had every plugin uninstalled.

#16

That’s the same playerlist used for console / xbox players (atleast it looks identical.) Maybe you had a gampad / controller connected?

That’s probably where it comes from honestly, but it’s weird considering I’m running Studio on a Mac. The only thing I have plugged into my computer right now is a mouse and my charger. I don’t even have an Xbox controller to plug-in lol.

#18

Are you in the Xbox device resolution? If so, that’s probably why. I believe this is the Xbox leaderboard, and it’s activated/deactivated in Studio by pressing tab (at least for me).

Oooooh that totally worked! I must have not even noticed myself switching into the Xbox resolution. It’s still a little odd how it just pops up by default, but tab totally got rid of it. Thank you for your help!
