PackageLinks keep registering changes that didn't happen

[TwentyTwoPilots (twonty)]

Reproduction Steps

Select packages in certain place files are constantly registering non-existent changes.

Expected Behavior

I expect the package to remain in its Up To Date state, as I’m not updating or tinkering with it.

This has been a source of pain for us for a long time.

I believe there is already a bug report for this from years ago, which I can’t find now. It is to do with having humanoids in the packages.

A package keeps thinking I changed it, when I didn't

Humanoids with a lot of pieces still seem to have blips of this issue, but far less frequent. Do I need to publish my packages again to receive this fix? A singular humanoid and multiple humanoids appear to be better. You can move them using the “Select”, “Move” and “Rotate” tools with minimal issue. Non-humanoid packages are still iffy. Eventually you can manipulate them enough to where it thinks you’ve changed it. You can resolve it by reverting the package. Using the “Transform” tool enoug…

All of my packages in my experience work as intended, except for a big folder in ServerStorage where I keep all of my assets in, such as NPCs, sounds, particles, and etc. I’ve had issues in the past where it would stop detecting package updates and error every time I would edit it, causing me to have to destroy the package link and create a new one. This doesn’t happen anymore, but I am receiving the issue where a change happens on the package, when I made no changes myself. This makes it tedious as whenever I open another place, I’ll have to publish the package because it thinks I’ve made changes when I never touched it in the first place.

I’ve had this a few times before with models in my games. Usually occurs when positioning models that are far from the origin of the game as the brick shift caused by floating point errors results in the package registering as “changed” even after clicking undo.

Hey everyone. So many changes have happened to packages, we’re going to assume this is fixed by now. Thanks again for the report and sorry it took so long. Please file again if you’re still having trouble.
