Render Fidelity won't change and is stuck in Precise

[unidentifiedchris (Chris)]

Sometimes, when making a mesh have an Automatic Render Fidelity it will get stuck in Precise and regardless of how many times you set it or restart studio it won’t change to Automatic. I tried re importing the mesh again but it didn’t work either. It will automatically switch back to Precise. I’m not aware of doing anything wrong, and I’ve seen many other people have this same problem and the only topic regarding this had no support whatsoever

Unable to switch mesh's render fidelity to automatic

Title says it all. Every attempt to switch a mesh’s LoD setting results in defaulting back to Precise instead of actually becoming Automatic. It is stated that attempts to change multiple parts at once will not work, here: WARNING: Because of some recent updates, you might have issues when switching renderFidelity to Automatic for more than 3-4 parts simultaneously. The property value will change but LOD switching will not be activated. This only happens to old, non-LOD compatible meshParts. W…

Here’s a video of the bug taking place:

Ive been using the ‘precise’ and ‘automatic’ feature lately, and I have noticed that meshparts with low tris counts cant be set to ‘automatic’ (since they are already so low) and then get reverted back to ‘precise’. I have done some testing and found that any mesh under 100 triangles cannot be set to ‘automatic’. This is probably done to prevent the moderation system from being overloaded with meshparts that dont need this feature.

This is the command I used

for _,mesh in pairs (game.Selection:Get()) do mesh.RenderFidelity = Enum.RenderFidelity.Automatic end

Hi Mistertitanic44. This is weird. Maybe it’s because of the moderation yes. The thing you can do is maybe try to put more triangles for your mesh.

I don’t really use RenderFidelity so i don’t know if it will work.

Yeah, I wish it would just set it to automatic, even if it can’t reupload. I don’t care about the implementation details in this case, automatic should mean… automatic!

yeah its bizarre. And why dont we have the ability to change the render distance ourselves? 250-500 studs is quite far for my game and I would love to change the distance to be shorter. Roblox keeps babying these features for us. I apologize if im derailing the topic but its just so frustrating.
