Insane frametime spike (6+ seconds) on character respawn

Whenever any of the default Roblox respawn mechanics triggers (like when, for example, resetting character) it triggers an insanely huge lag spike that can take up to 6 seconds to go away, leaving your screen frozen.

Unlike what other posts about this issue may suggest, I do not think this is tied to the “Voice Chat” or “Camera” features, and it happens on both R15 and R6 characters.

dxdiag.exe of my machine: https://files.catbox.moe/zqe722.txt

Here are some examples of the issue on 3 different games:

This is very easily replicable.

Expected behavior

I expect the game to not freeze for up to 6 seconds when respawning my character.

UPDATE: Going into Windows 11 settings > Searching for "Manage cameras" > Camera Privacy Settings > Turning "Camera access" off fixed my issue. Turns out it is related to the physical cameras connected to your machine, even if the experiences have the Camera functonality set to “Not Supported”.

Still, I should not be required to disable all my webcams just for Roblox to run properly.

I’d still rather keep my post up as I’ve compiled and provided 3 examples with videos & microprofiler dumps, a dxdiag.exe of my PC as well as a immediate solution to the problem for everybody!

Ok. I recommend cross-posting this report in the original one so engineers actually see it
