By doing an uninstall/reinstall you wipe the layout settings previously saved and delete whatever corrupt layout you are on. If you continue to face the issue after an uninstall/reinstall, please DM me directly.
Im now having an issue where the viewport is just purely grey, closing the place / closing studio does not help this is a complete and utter joke. Oh and I can no longer drag the viewport out (the old fix i found)
From my perspective of never having disabled Team Create, I can tell you that it’s worse than broken:
It’s flaky. From the beginning of this new disaster Studio redesign, the Drafts window sometimes will
come back to where it was manually docked, and sometimes it will be in that odd location.
(You may find that your solution is really a phantom, as I mentioned, it has always been flaky.
Today I tested the Drafts window location at startup 6 times–Its location failed only on the 6th test.)
BUT, on my setup, the Drafts’ View setting (that I set as visible) is always lost on Studio startup, lost
along with the view setting of the Chat window as well (I always have to manually set them as visible.)
the new studio docking feature just seems like a rushed edit to “modernize” studio. It ended up just making docking widgets and stuff more complex and harder. I prefer the old system much MUCH more than the new current one.
I’m not sure if it’s just me but the latest issue appears to have made the issue worse. Now, about 50% of the time, my viewport gets bricked with a single studio instance open, and while doing a solo 2-player test at least one (usually 2) viewports get bricked essentially 100% of the time.
This is outrageous and if there isn’t a good fix for this buggy behavior (which might I note, makes development on Roblox nearly universally unfeasible,) there’s gonna have to be an explanation given as to why Roblox has been pushing buggy updates with very little quality assurance testing.
Anyways, some notes:
Apparently this is even more of an issue in some cases on Windows 11. I’m on Windows 10, no plans to upgrade any time soon, and it’s already bad enough on here. Can’t imagine this getting worse.
I run FPS Unlocker, not sure if that’d cause any issues directly, but it might; can never rule out possibilities.
My monitor does not benefit at all (from what I can tell) from the High DPI updates since I’m using standard 1080p (albeit at 144Hz)
I have heard the issue was worse on Windows 11 as well. What stands out here is that you have a high-resolution monitor with DPI scaling. This bug seems to only occur on devices with this configuration (I have a device that has this issue, but it isn’t the device I use).
However, I have fixed the slowness of studio by upgrading from 21H2 to 22H2 (if there is any).
Multiple FPS unlockers are available for Roblox. Which one do you use? I’ve heard this can cause issues with studio when entering and exiting playtest mode. I don’t use any on my main computer and I don’t have any issue.
Can confirm this to be an issue, I literally opened the ToolBox, dragged it to those things that show up to dock the UI and it told me it needed to be restarted: (It says you guys are investigating the issue)
Also, sometimes opening ToolBox will make it unsearchable, not sure if this is related to the Docking behavior as well. When you take it out of where it is and move it around the things don’t load either sometimes. (Happens constantly but unexpectedly, I just tried replicating the bug I mentioned in the first picture and it didn’t happen this time, see)
Experienced an issue again:(12/17/2022)
I opened ToolBox while in the Script Editor in order to get the SoundId of a sound, but this issue happened which made the ToolBox not work at all and the rendering is all messed up.
Unrelated Issue but Valid: What’s going on with Roblox crashing more than often? Every time I close down a place that I edited for a while, the Roblox Studio app says Not Responding and after a while, I spam the Close X button since it stays like that for minutes. Even that doesn’t fix it until my PC asks me if I want to kill it and so I proceed.
It’s disappointing that since October, this issue hasn’t been fixed and the only solution is an extremely bandaided one. When I debug certain features in my game, I have to switch between the Server and Client mode to ensure things are going smoothly. After switching from the server to the client, I get this annoying floating widget that appears that is not closeably and persists after runtime stops.
I have reverted to older versions of Roblox Studio using Roblox Studio Mod Manager and reset my widget layouts twice, but the pesky thing always comes back.
Please, Roblox engineers, I urge you to fix this ongoing issue ASAP as it has become a major disruption to our workflow and development to me and other desperate developers. This is getting ridiculous and as others here have shown frustration, the solution isn’t always to reinstall studio. These bugs are becoming more and more frequent and I display concern for the wellness of the testing of these new features before being pushed to production use. I hope that within the next few patches, I should no longer see my studio glitching and artificating 99 different widgets upon boot.
