Opportunistic StreamOut causing gameplay pauses everytime you leave a chunk

I have been having some issues with the Opportunistic StreamOut mode, due to it making my players freeze everytime they leave a chunk. However it’s a random occurrence

IMPORTANT INFO

  • I have asked many of my players and this is random, you will only experience this ocasionally and i haven’t found a way to fix it.
  • Rejoining always fixes this issue, but it sometimes ends up happening when you join again in other times.

When it started: Months ago, since i switched from LowMemory to Opportunistic .
Game link: Vestiges Of Phlanange - Roblox

Here are some videos of this issue:
One of my players: RobloxPlayerBeta_r86UXa7hfH
Me: 2024-01-21 00-26-06

Sadly i can’t provide any more reproducion steps nor files, as it seems like a random occurrence.

I was forced to change StreamingIntegrityMode to PauseOutsideLoadedArea.

Edit: I found out that the issue seems to be in StreamingIntegrityMode, since changing StreamOut Behavior to Default did not fix the issue.

MinimumRadiusPause seems to be the problem. I am aware of what this IntegrityMode does, however it’s behavior changes sometimes which is very odd.
It runs perfectly on studio and usually does on roblox too, however MinimumRadiusPause just seems to randomly cause some players to constantly freeze everytime they leave a chunk

Are you saying you have always experienced this issue when using MinimumRadiusPause? This behavior hasn’t gotten noticeably worse, it has always existed with that mode?

Yes i have. At first i didnt notice it because it was a random occurrence, but as my game grew i started noticing it more and i got complaints from my players aswell.

We recently enabled a fix for a situation where players could continually enter the pause state when moving around. It looks similar to the videos you shared in this report.

Are you willing to test again with MinimumRadiusPause? I would say that for most experiences using PauseOutsideLoadedArea is usually the preferred mode.

Will change to my old settings, try to replicate it and give an update in 1-2 days.

Have you been able to replicate this issue? We don’t believe it should still be occurring.

Hey there! Sorry for the late reply and the lack of updates, i absolutely forgot about it.

I have just reverted the changes and everything seems to be fine. I will publish these changes and see if any of my players complain about it.

Thank you.
