Problem:
- I’ve been working on a ragdoll system and the progress has been good. However, I’ve encountered some problems with the communication between server and clients.
- For some reason when you ragdoll on high speed, it seems to freeze for a bit when viewed by another player. However this isn’t the case with the player being ragdolled.
- And for note, this problem also happens outside of studio.
POV of ragdolled player:
POV of viewer:
Attempts to fix:
- SetNetworkOwner(nil) - I’ve tried to set the network owner to nil, however all it did was make the player unable to ragdoll.
- Messed with Motor6D’s - I’ve tried to mess around with Motor6D’s by disabling some parts but it just made the ragdoll more clunky and messed up.

Please tell me any ideas for solutions, or whether I should do my past attempts again. I will appreciate any help, thank you!
