Since Studio version 0.614.0.6140412, Play and Play Here is taking an abnormally long time to load and often failing to do so even if used in an empty baseplate, preventing me from being able to easily test things. I’ve also noticed that after this update, Studio is insisting on showing the Toolbox and Terrain Editor when opening a place, which is quite annoying if you tend to hop from one place to another. Here is a video I’ve recorded that showcase the issue:
Oddly enough, using Run seems to still work as expected. Loading times when using Play or Play Here before this update were consistently near-instantaneous
System Info
Windows 11 Home 23H2 Build 22631.3235
I managed to find what’s causing this problem: Incoming Replication Lag keeps being set to 10 whenever I start or restart Studio. I don’t have any plugins installed that are modifying this setting, so I’m unsure as to what’s causing this to happen and it’s true that it has only started happening to me since the most recent update (Although I strongly suspect it’s related to this release note: Release Notes for 613 | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub)
A workaround is to remember to set the value to 0 when starting Studio and choose Restart Later, then continue to use Studio as normal
Edit: This issue is still unfortunately present in the latest Studio version 0.616.0.6160659
Have you tried enabling this beta feature from roblox studio? Because these times my studio was entering something like 30 seconds.But with this option i can enter the game between(8/15) seconds.
tried without the faster play solo feature and it entered too long than i expected
Have you ever used the Incoming Replication Lag setting before?
If you open up %LocalAppData%/Roblox/GlobalSettings_13.xml what is the value of <double name="IncomingReplicationLag"> ?
Also it might be worth checking if the file is Read-only, you can validate this by right clicking the file → properties and checking if the Read-only attribute is checked at the bottom of the file.
If the value is 10 in the file, does resetting it to 0 make the setting stick?
