In-Game UGC Limited Purchases are not being added to Inventory

This appears to be happening to specific users only.

  • When a player purchases a UGC Limited item with sales location set to a specific game, they will get an error message
  • The transaction DOES APPEAR in their purchases list on the transactions website, but the item is not added to their inventory.
  • This error message occurs 100% of the time whenever the prompt purchase is retried.

PromptPurchase is being called on the server for these purchases, as required for UGC Limiteds.

The error that they get is:

This is happening to hundreds (if not thousands) of people in my experience right now, and I’ve got a lot of people complaining to me about them not being able to claim their free ugc items in my game :grimacing:

Despite the transaction appearing in their Purchases list, MarketplaceService:PlayerOwnsAsset is returning false for these players. The item does not get added to their inventory, so they cannot equip it.

Here’s some cases below:

Case 1

User: Alihan - Roblox
Item: Catalog Avatar Creator: Traffic Cone - Roblox

Media:



Description: User attempts to purchase free UGC item in-game. They get an error message (as seen in the video). The item is not added to their inventory, however it does appear on their Purchase transactions history. Every time they try to purchase the item, they get the error message, making it basically impossible for them to get the item.

MarketplaceService:PlayerOwnsAsset is returning false for this player and these items.

Case 2

User: https://www.roblox.com/users/671913429/profile
Items: Catalog Avatar Creator: Traffic Cone - Roblox and Catalog Avatar Creator: Halo - Roblox

Media:

Description: User attempted to purchase the items in-game, however they also got the error message. The items appear in their purchases list, but not in their inventory.

MarketplaceService:PlayerOwnsAsset is returning false for this player and these items.

Case 3

User: Monokuma_Awoken - Roblox
Item: Catalog Avatar Creator: Traffic Cone - Roblox

Media:

Description: User tried to buy the Traffic Cone item, but their purchase failed. The item does appear in their transactions, but not in their inventory.

Upon asking them to join my server, MarketplaceService:PlayerOwnsAsset is returning false for this player with this item.

There’s literally hundreds more cases of this being reported in my discord server, so I’m hoping that this can be fixed very soon…

This has been happening to me since yesterday, I claimed these items in game, both times it said my purchase had completed successfully


& I own a serial of both of these items


but they are no where to be found in my inventory & they don’t have the green checkmark indicating that I own them at the top of the page

I found it oddly strange that it happened to me and probably other users as well upon purchasing the Diepolder Christmas Hat in On Tap.


Here’s a clip of me purchasing it to show what I meant.

Seems fixed All of my in-experience purchases are being blocked - #5, unless this is another bug?

I encountered the same issue in Pls Donate while claiming free UGC. After leaving the game, the item appeared fine, but attempting to equip it resulted in a message stating that some accessories were no longer available. Surprisingly, within a minute, the item vanished from my inventory.

@TotoyRBLX @Nerezza_7 When you get a chance possible to provide more details about your reports please? We would need a link to the impacted Roblox account profile & the link to the items you do not see in your inventory anymore.
