If this happened in the last week or so, I also got a notification that one of my plugins broke. I haven’t looked into fixing it, yet, so I don’t know if it’s the same root cause.

I have moved the post to studio bugs.
I would like to look into this. It would help if you could provide a minimal test case. Like you could post a simple-as-possible lua script that demonstrates the problem, clearly indicating what you expect to happen vs what actually happens.

I guess specifically I want to zero in on “issue with DescendantAdded”. Give me the smallest script possible that makes the call to DescendantAdded, documenting what you expect to happen vs what actually happens.

Sure! I will send the code soon
Here is the code to my automatic scaling feature. This script is located under a BoolValue object.
local startergui = game.StarterGui
function ToScale(guiobject)
game:GetService( 'RunService' ).RenderStepped:Wait()
local Viewport_Size
if guiobject:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("GuiObject") then
Viewport_Size = guiobject:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("GuiObject").AbsoluteSize
else
Viewport_Size = workspace.CurrentCamera.ViewportSize
end
local LB_Size = guiobject.AbsoluteSize
guiobject.Size = UDim2.new(LB_Size.X/Viewport_Size.X,0,LB_Size.Y/Viewport_Size.Y, 0)
end
startergui.DescendantAdded:connect(function(v)
if game.Loaded and v:IsA("GuiObject") and not v:IsA("ScreenGui") and not v:IsA("Folder") and not v:IsA("StarterGui") and script.Parent and script.Parent.Value == true then
--Convert to Scale
ToScale(v)
print("Auto Set Size to Scale")
end
end)
coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
while wait(1) do
if script.Parent then
if plugin:GetSetting("Active") == true then
script.Parent.Value = true
else
script.Parent.Value = false
end
end
end
end))
It is supposed to automatically set size of any GUIObject you insert into startergui when studio has loaded and you are creating UI to Scale, it is not supposed to detect the GUI being loaded into studio.

Thanks.
Could I ask for an even more reduced script, and even more explicit description of expected vs actual behavior?
E.g. just a one-script-file plugin that does
local startergui = game.StarterGui
startergui.DescendantAdded:connect(function(v)
<something in here?>
end)
local startergui = game.StarterGui
function ToScale(v)
game:GetService( 'RunService' ).RenderStepped:Wait()
local Viewport_Size
if v:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("GuiObject") then
Viewport_Size = v:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("GuiObject").AbsoluteSize
else
Viewport_Size = workspace.CurrentCamera.ViewportSize
end
local LB_Size = guiobject.AbsoluteSize
guiobject.Size = UDim2.new(LB_Size.X/Viewport_Size.X,0,LB_Size.Y/Viewport_Size.Y, 0)
end
startergui.DescendantAdded:connect(function(v)
if game.Loaded then
--Convert to Scale
ToScale(v)
end
end)
Expected Behaviour: Any gui object inserted manually after studio has loaded into StarterGUI is automatically converted to Scale size, so the default size is set to Scale.
Actual Behaviour: GUI inserted by studio while the game is loading is also converted to scale which is causing GUI to grow massive.
If you have a local script plugin with source as print(workspace:FindFirstChild'Baseplate') and open a default baseplate place it outputs nil

This issue still seems to be unfixed.

This issue seems to have been fixed, thanks 
If it prints nil that means the plugin loads after the baseplate has loaded 
Which shouldn’t happen; the place should load before plugins run
No read the title, I wanted plugins to load AFTER the place loads 
Yes, we are saying the same thing
OH my bad lol I thought you were doing descendentadded like me, guess it’s still not fixed.
