For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been experiencing Roblox Studio shutting down for an update while I attempt to test in Studio via F6 or F7. I remember before that this only happened when opening a new studio session while having one already open, but this seems to now be bleeding into when you open any new window in Studio (including windows created from testing).
Repro Steps
Note: It’s difficult reproducing this on my end since it only happens when studio has an update available, but I will still provide the steps necessary.
- Have Studio remain open before an update gets shipped
- Try pressing F6 (Play Solo Windowed) or F7 (Start Server)
- You should expect your test window to pop up, while simultaneously closing all your other studio windows to allow the update to happen
While this report primarily suggests fixing testing sessions to not trigger this update, I believe it’s in the best interest of the developer that this auto-close feature be more refined to not rely on opening new windows at all (or at the very least, update when all windows have closed or perhaps a prompt on close would suffice as well).
Edit: I received word about a beta feature that may fix this issue entirely. I’ll be using it for the time being, and will mark this as resolved if it’s actually resolved on the next update.
