Roblox Studio randomly does not stop the play test and you cannot test again in the same studio session

Hello, so today I was doing some play tests and I went in a script to see if there was a problem with my script, as I discovered my scripting issues I tried stopping the play test.

As I clicked the red dot I waited a bit and nothing happened, it was like it was frozen but I could edit the script (in play mode I think).

I tried clicking it a couple more times but it did nothing, it just remained hovered and I could not play again, I could close and exit the scripts but if I went to the main place session it was just a blue void.

The only way to “fix” this is by closing studio but as I reopen, around 3-4 play tests it happens again, I don’t know how to truly fix this.
Any help is greatfully accepted.

Same thing happening to me right now. It’s not the specs because I have a gaming laptop so I know it’s not the case. This started happening to me right after this new studio UI update. This has been happening a little too frequent for my liking.

Thank goodness I saved my project minutes before, I would’ve lost half an hour worth of progress. Make sure to turn on auto recovery as well.

Yeah auto-recovery is on, I don’t know if it is a Next Gen Studio bug but this is really annoying, I hope they fix this soon.

Does shift-F5 work when its in this state? Also, you could see if adding a “Stop” action to a custom tab helps.

Just trying to determine if its the UX or the action behind it that’s broken.

Also, how do you typically start the play test? With F5 or the Play button?

With play button.

I will try to do that.

Also this problem doesn’t seem to happen no more, from yesterday I’ve done alot of tests and it never happened, if it happens again I will try what you said.

Thanks.
