I’ll start a server to test something, and shortly after closing it the studio will bug out. I’ll also often be asked to log in again after I’ve closed that bugged studio and reopened the game file.
Video of the bug:
Picture of the bug on the client(never noticed this before, happened suddenly while I was hopping around the map reading discord):
The viewport never reappears, and resizing the studio messes with the property/explorer/etc windows.
Note:
-This only happens in this game, my other games are fine. The game is very old and terribly coded, thus there’s two giant Script and LocalScripts running everything, which I believe is related to this issue.
-This has been happening for months, I dont know exactly when this started.
This appears to be docking corruption. We’ve got a permanent fix for this coming (as a Beta Feature) in Studio’s next release. In the meantime, if you Reset View this should temporarily resolve this issue…
Reset View in Studio with only one instance running.
Ctrl/Cmd + P to enter Quick Open, type >Reset View (must include “>”), and select that action. Studio must restart. Any other instances running could re-introduce corrupted layout data.
They should not be related. If anything, the log out might be because we launched Mulit-account support last week.
We also released our permanent fix for the docking/layout issue you are having. If you’re getting the Viewport on Play Test issue frequently, try turning this Beta Feature on:
The new docking system got knocked offline late yesterday with v605 — even if you have the Beta Feature turned on. We are working on a hotfix to be released this week.
Hi, the issue is still present for me. And for some reason I still get logged out 50% of the time when this issue arises. Do you know when the hotfix will be released?
Forwarding onto this response, I notice this bug (without the logging out issue) replicates for me when I attempt to open 2 active studios and simultaneously edit them or; play test one, leave the play test and then the first section of this bug report can typically occur, if not after repeated action of doing so.:
The hotfix referenced in December did go out and I would expect this to resolve the Viewport rendering issue but would not affect authentication in any way.
@ar_qx can you confirm you have the Updated Docking Beta enabled?
@Alkan does this consistently happen with this one game? Can you share logs?
I did not have the updated docking beta enabled during this period of replying, I have since enabled it after continued reading. Will give feedback if bug continues
It seems its only affecting this game. My theory is its related to the majority of the server’s code being in one huge script, and having opened that script in a session + starting a server test. I think this triggers something.
I’m not sure what is happening if the hotfix was rereleased long ago. Before it got rolled back, it seemed to fix the issue, and then it returned when it got rolled back. But its still here for me
I’m unfamiliar on what logs you need to see or how to access them
Edit: I opened the game and ran a test, with no script opened. After a few minutes the bug happened. So I dont have any idea whats triggering it.
I disabled the updated dock beta setting, and re-enabled it. Closed all studios. The issue is still happening.
Also when I’m opening another roblox file while the problematic studio window is still open, the file freezes while trying to open. Once I closed the problematic studio window, the file unfroze(and in the case of this test, requested I log in again)
Hiya Paul,
I was just playing around and making animations.
Then I noticed while trying to dock my roblox animator on top of the output that my studio crashed with no warning or notice.
I’m having a different issue with Studio. I can’t load any new/old games I have access to. I enabled the beta feature which I believed to be the cause but when I disabled it nothing changes.
