I have been getting many reports of PS5 players on my game saying they’re experiencing extreme lag spikes, I have also recieved multiple clips of this by different players. This seems to be only a issue on PlayStation since I haven’t experienced it on XBOX personally and haven’t gotten any reports of it.
I don’t have a PS5 so I can not test it out myself.

Thanks for the report! We’ll follow up when we have an update for you.

Hi frankii,
A couple of questions:
- Can you please provide me with a link to the game?
- Do players recover from the lag spike? Are they stuck at a slow FPS when this happens?
- Does Roblox eventually for these players?
Thanks,
SolarCrane

Players are saying that they usually recover and the FPS goes back up to normal but sometimes the game will freeze for up to a minute and then crash.

+1 on this but instead I am on PC (Windows 11) and just uninstalled/reinstalled roblox thinking that was the issue. It happens in our game as well:
Micro-profiler shows this?
Happening here:

Experiencing the same issue on all games I play. Noticed I can reproduce the fps drop when I move my mouse away from the roblox client window. But it also happens randomly in game when the window is taking up my entire monitor.

Also experiencing this issue. Immediately crashing the moment my mouse leaves the roblox client.

Whenever I am not in full screen the same thing happens to me. Never have seen any frame rate drops like this before now.

Yeah same, even if I’m full screen it still lags every couple of seconds down to 5 fps

Runs fine for me in full screen last I checked. It’s just when I move the mouse off of the application or close to any side of the screen.

Yea, moving your mouse away from the Roblox client window resulting in dropped fps seems to be replicable.
I too also experienced 60fps → 0fps drops randomly in game, without moving the cursor outside, with the game fullscreened.

Same exact thing is happening to me. Any time I take my mouse off my main monitor my game fps drops down to near zero. Also randomly experiencing really bad FPS drops in normal gameplay every now and then with no real reason why.

We’ve been having this issue over the past few hours in Wanderlands Dungeon RPG on PC using the Roblox Player desktop app.

This issue primarily occurs when selecting or adjusting the application window. However, also seems to occur occasionally during gameplay and for me while moving the mouse between monitors with Roblox in fullscreen.
Example of frozen client for a few seconds after resizing the game window

The future mod looking at this thread should take a look at FFlagGuiStatePressedToHoverOnRelease for these mouse lag spikes

This occurs as well for me and other users I have asked. When focused on the Roblox window, hovering outside the window (i.e. taskbar) will cause the entire game to freeze. Task Manager shows the GPU spiking to 100%. On low-end devices, this spike occurs for multiple seconds. On a 4090, this is occurring for about 1-3 seconds.

I’m so glad this isn’t happening to just me, thought there was some unknown problem with my PC again, but ya this weird lag spike bug seems to have started after the last update.
I have two monitors with Roblox on my main one, but once I focus on the Roblox client and then move my cursor to the other monitor Roblox starts freezing like crazy, it stops when I click off and focus on another window like my browser.
Is this only happening to certain people tho? I don’t see many others having this problem, but here’s my specs just incase:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
Motherboard: MSI MEG X570 UNIFY
GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 ULTRA
RAM: 64 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3600
OS: Windows 11 Pro

Occurring in Arcane Odyssey as well, a large portion of the playerbase is complaining about it.

When you drag your cursor out of Roblox in any way it lags massively dropping frames to around 0. I am not sure why and I am on computer.
This is extremely annoying.
