Roblox Studio causing screen act weirdly and overloading my memory

Sometimes when I press the play button the screen can distort weirdly (a video is the only way I could record the screen) along with every open app on my computer to run out of memory. This has happened quite frequently in the past week

We don’t have any widespread reports of issues like this. What else has changed on the machine lately - new drivers? New applications/installs? I’m assuming a reboot of the machine is the only way out of this? The message you posted indicates that your machine has bottomed out on video memory, which is very odd - this card has.what, 8GB dedicated GPU mem? Do you happen to open a lot of studio instances? Does this happen long after a reboot, or shortly after? How frequently can you hit play before this occurs? First time? 10th time, etc? More information will help track this down.

Depending on how fast I can close it has an changes the effect it has. If I can stop it fast it will only cause all my apps to run out of memory. If I leave it then it can affect my mouse, text and images permanently by giving them a haziness (screenshots and recordings don’t seem to capture the issue). It always either require a restart or the display to be reset.

Usually it happens an hour+ on just 1 instance and then number of play tests can vary each time.

I don’t have any applications which affect studio and my drivers are all up to date apart from my nvidia graphics driver which is version 551.76 with no changes to the default configuration.

I am starting to suspect it is my clock plugin and that it has some kind of memory leak or due to it’s resolution it affects something.

Hi, did you get a chance to disable plugins and see if this changed anything? There could also be external factors at play (I’ve seen something similar when a lot of other programs consuming graphics surfaces are active, including Chrome). But a misbehaving plugin certainly seems like something that could be an issue.

I have had moon animator completely crash my entire pc by using up all my memory before. And no I have not disabled my plugins yet.
