Ok so basically I am making a game that uses the universe feature. Me and my friend were testing it out and when we went through an arrow (which leads to the next place in the universe) i thought she was having trouble with connection. I checked the servers list of that area and it had split us into 2 servers (which is odd, the servers allow 50 people). So we went back to the main game place and everything was fine. We tried again and the same thing happened. So we tried with a different area in the game I told her to meet me at one of the areas. 5 Minutes later, she was there, I was there but we were both in different servers?!?!
This is a huge bug. Has it happened to anyone else?
Yeah. Same here, Itās going to be a new breed of social games and itās annoying. Itād be great if ROBLOX actually cared about Universes and devs which use themā¦
Comments like that are unnecessary and untrue. Some of the most successful games use multiple places (universes). Just because a bug hasnāt been patched in 24 hours doesnāt mean anybody āstopped caringā. Donāt post things like that.
There seem to be issues with TeleportService right now that are being worked on. This is most likely related to these issues and has been mentioned a couple of times. Perhaps @spotco might know about it.
But no really, donāt just assume ROBLOX doesnāt care about something just because it hasnāt been fixed yet. Iād like to think the guys & gals at ROBLOX care about any problems that arise, sometimes it takes time to figure out why those problems are occurring and figure out how to fix them.
Hey, now I know itās easy to get frustrated when something out of your control is broken (believe me, Iāve been a developer on other platforms and itās not a pleasant experience). However negativity wonāt do anything but ruffle feathers and hurt feelings
(And btw, we make all our money from developers like you so itās in our best interest to care).
Anyway, from what Iām reading this sounds like a very different issue than what Iāve heard before (this sounds like teleports going to the āwrong instanceā, what Iāve heard about before this is that teleports intermittently fail).
Can you make a āreproā case for this?
If youāre not familiar with the terminology, that means the simplest possible example showing the broken behaviour. So link/send me a place and show the code you think isnāt working properly.
Hi. If you noticed ā It took 10 hours for someone to answer w/out negativity. As it took 3 hours with negativityā¦ Just saying.
Iāve seen some other post about it too. It isnāt none of my code. Nothing like that say if two people are walking through a teleport to a new place
more than likely they will be split into two servers rather than being in one. No matter what the server limit. Thatās the best way I can explain it. Hereās a link to the place.
Yeah, make sure not to do that in the future or youāre going to have a problem. Be respectable and youāll get respectable replies in due time, whether or not you make a scene about it doesnāt change their response time and youāre actually less likely to get one.
Any chance you could write a simple script that does exactly what your āarrowā does, and then set up a empty place with just that script that reproduces the problem? The more specifics the better.
Even if the script is fine, with the most dumbed down / simplified place to work with itās easier to find out whatās going wrong without having to look through all of your gameās code to find in which script you teleport people, etc.
Iām not sure. I can only test it with 2 people or more.
Heres what I know:
It has nothing to do with the teleporting from place to place
It has something to do with how servers are handled with teleports(or just how servers work)
Do you have a second computer/virtual machine/want to ask your friend to help you test this again?
And are you able to make this happen multiple times (possibly in a row), or was this a one-to-few time thing?
(This is why Iām asking you for the āreproā case, if you can nail down exactly what the bad behaviour is then we know what and where the bug we need to fix is)
No this happened for around 30 minutes straight. Thereās 4 areas in my game so I was trying to show her around. This didnāt occur in the main place of the game where you spawn when you click the āplayā button, it occurred in all the other places. For example when we went to a different part of the game itād be in 2 diff servers, same with any other part of the game. We tried for about 30 minutes and we kept jumping in and out of places to try and get into the same server but we had no luck. It was working fine earlier that day though. We also both closed the game and retried it, I shutdown every server on the places and still no luck.
Literally all I did was use the teleport (arrow) with my friend to get to a different place in the universe and it ended up creating 2 servers. We tried and tried for 30 minutes shutting down the servers and so on and it just wouldnāt work. I donāt know if it happens there but thatās a literal copy and paste of what is already in my game.
