I’ve been getting this for the past month as well. Unfortunately this bug makes it very difficult to do a performance audit or catch glaring issues/memory leaks that can be causing servers to slow down or crash.
not really an alternative, but you can use the ScriptProfiler and ServerJobs as a partially replacement to figure out at least something before they fix it
how soon is the “soon”, it’s been 2 days, and over 30 days since the bug got introduced and is seriously impacting our workflow, yet it isn’t fixed even now.
I think more thorough testing needs to be done on the server micro profiler from here on out. This is the second time it has broken in a year, (I’ve filed a report before) and both issues should have been caught by CI/CD.
In my opinion, this is the only real way for developers to debug why their servers are dropping frames or doing other things they shouldn’t be doing in general. This having been broken for over a month after reporting it shouldn’t really happen and it causes a major inconvenience for all of us.
To now know that there is an existing fix and we have to wait two weeks for it to go live is absurd. You’re basically keeping a majority of us dead in the water in terms of debugging our own games since there is no alternative or workaround.
This isn’t a call for aggression or anything, just an expression of annoyance overall.
The good news is that the fix is in version 661 which has just started rolling out. You might find that by the time you try again, it will already be fixed.
