No way to disable Server Authority - breaks games.

Hello,

I am currently working on a game that uses an entirely client sided movement system. Although I agree that this is not the best practice, it is reliable, and works for my game.

When Roblox released Server Authority, the entire game stopped working, I experienced heavy rubberbanding, and could barely even move.

To disable Server Authority, I had to disable some other random setting completely unrelated to it, and I know this is a temporary solution, so I need this issue sorted out before my game becomes unplayable and I have to recode >3,000 lines of pure unoptimized client code.

When selecting the dropdown menu for Server Authority in Workspace, there are 2 options:

Automatic
Enabled

“Automatic” is just enabled, and Enabled is just enabled. So please, fix this.

Expected behavior

There should be the intended option, Disabled; under the Server Authority dropdown menu.

Did you have this enabled?

having next gen replication disabled also disables server authority (if you set it to automatic) im pretty sure

i turned this off but i’m sure that this is just a temporary solution and will be removed

AuthorityMode.Automatic “disables” Server Authority. It is not forced into any games.

I turned on Automatic, and it still enabled Server Authority; you would know that if you read the post.

Having this set to Automatic does not enable Server Authority for me.

If you’ve turned SAuth to Automatic and it’s still on, that’s a definite bug. Will you please confirm you’re on the latest build of Studio and then DM me clear repro steps and/or a video?

Sorry you’ve having this issue!
