PlayerPermissionsModule CoreScript module frequently breaks causing cascading problems

Randomly but frequently while loading local test server, one or all of the clients will error with something about invalid CreatorType enum. When this occurs, this causes the entire Roblox menus and top bar to not load at all, which also causes things like SetCore to error because “SetCore: TopbarEnabled has not been registered by the CoreScripts”

Invalid value for enum CreatorType

Looking for someone to take a look! Thanks for the report.

I am also experiencing this almost all the time- for me, line 225 of PlayerPermissionsModule.

Same problem here. It’s been going on on my end for a while.

Is there any updates? This happened to me again from Line 225 of the same module.

this is now happening to me since recent updates, line 225. And I get a bunch other errors too, the topbar is gone and the escape button isn’t working either. My character local scripts aren’t working because of these errors.

This is still happening.
Makes testing very frustrating.

Experiencing the exact same issue; any estimation on when there might be a fix? Testing a local server with more than 1 player is painful since it requires several restarts before I’m lucky enough to have none of the clients experience an error with the PlayerPermissionsModule.

I am also experiencing this error in a 2 player test server on the default baseplate template.

20:29:21.507  Invalid value for enum CreatorType  -  Client

Looked into it for 5 minutes. Seems to me that something in studio gets set and then forgot about when it’s no longer relevant.

REPRO:

  • Open a roblox-hosted place, unsure if team create being enabled contributes to the issue.
  • Close the roblox-hosted place.
  • Open a local file. (This step can be done before opening the roblox-hosted place)
  • Start (Server & Players) on the opened local file
    The following error then occurs.
    Invalid value for enum CreatorType
    CoreGui.RobloxGui.Modules.PlayerPermissionsModule', Line 225

WORKAROUND:
For anyone still experiencing this issue, quick switching to another account then back seems to reset something inside studio re-enabling the ability to perform Start (Server & Players) without invalid enum value errors.

Considering the negative impact on workflow and that a given repro now exists it shouldn’t take longer than 6 months to fix.

This is such a time wasting bug because the success rate feels so low. I have to constantly re-open multiple times for it to finally work.

Please. It can’t be that difficult to wrap CreatorType stuff in a pcall if it’s constantly failing like this.
