Roblox Studio just received an update, maybe re-install your roblox studio complete, by deleting it from your computer.

I mean you can just search it on your PC,

Or go to WIN+R Appdata > local > ROBLOX

Have you tried to just open roblox studio, and opening baseplate? does that work

^Opening a new baseplate

Whatever it is, it lags when trying to go in any place
Is it good to try to update roblox studio, delete the plugin again or delete the auto save?

the code is something like this, but i made some change that caused the crash

script.Parent:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()
	local txt = script.Parent.Text
	if txt == "" then --stop if nil
		return
	end
	txt = txt:gsub("[^-%d*%.]%d*","") --remove anything thats not - . %d
	txt = txt:gsub("(%..*)%.", "%1") --remove dot
	txt = txt:gsub("(%-.*)%-", "%1") --remove minus
	local num = tonumber(txt)
	if num == nil then
		print("num is nil")
	else
		txt = tostring(math.clamp(num,-1000,1000)) --clamp num
		txt = txt:gsub("(%.%d%d%d%d).*","%1") --try to remove any decimals after 4
		print(txt)
	end
end)

could editing strings lag roblox? and since it’s a plugin it tries to load it when joining an experience

This doesn’t seem like the error.

i will try restarting my computer, since i have tried joining “evade” and many meshes and textures didnt load, so it might be something related to my pc or internet

did not work, apparently

i mean, thats the only reason i think it could be lagging my roblox studio, if a plugin is in a infinite loop does it stop like the scripts in workspace?

At this point, I would just get rid of all plugins.

i tried deleting the plugins, all of them, did not work, unless roblox doesnt update it somehow and still tries to load it

Honestly, at this point i will leave my computer running trying to get in the experience and go to sleep, i hope it’s just something simple that we didnt try

I usually activate Team Create for instant update inside Roblox Studio, to not have problems liek that.

team create is on for these games i believe, but this whole thing kinda scares me, if i see that i lost too much data i might just stop using roblox studio in a while
