Save to Roblox. Error?

I cannot save a project with Save to Roblox at the moment.. Even older games that were working fine are doing the same thing. Anything I start from a game’s site page to edit in the Studio does this, and the overwrite current files option fails. If I load a saved project file from the hard drive by click, it behaves the same; however, I am able to use the overwrite current file option. (Used a test for that, that may complicate previous permissions)

I’ve tried a few variations on loading, and it seems to have a problem recognizing that the project has already been saved, bringing up the “create a new game” version of the interface with the basic save game info, as if I’m saving to Roblox for the first time.

I wonder if others are having the same issue at the moment. I tried resetting the Studio settings and then again by deleting the version folders and running RobloxStudioInstaller.exe, but it didn’t work.

Seeing from a fresh install. fresh project..
Unable to load rbxasset://models/ViewSelector/ViewSelector.rbxm
Stack Begin .. Script ‘builtin_ViewSelector.rbxm.ViewSelector.Main’

Tried to turn off all plugins (only have a few running, were always solid) and didn’t see an option to change that anymore.. This was all working the day before.

If I load a game in the Studio it will Save to Roblox and Compile as normal, unless I save it to file..
(I’m sure to the default name of the game itself..)

Bump. I am having this issue as well. The only way I can get it saved is by publishing it to Roblox and not the “Save To Roblox” feature. Been happening to me for the last three days.

I also cannot “Save to Roblox”. Attempting to just closed the entire place and deleted all the progress I made. I can save on previously made experiences just fine, but attempting to save a new experience is completely broken.

Made some progress..

Before starting, I set Studio settings to default.
Located at C:\Users\YourProfile\AppData\Local\Roblox
I removed the folders:
%LocalAppData%\Roblox\Versions
%LocalAppData%\Roblox\YourID\InstalledPlugins

Then I tried to run a game. It downloaded and prompted me to execute RobloxPlayerInstaller.exe.
Next, I tried to edit the game. It downloaded and prompted me to execute RobloxStudioInstaller.exe.

On a fresh install the error I mentioned earlier was cleared up:
Unable to load rbxasset://models/ViewSelector/ViewSelector.rbxm.

This allowed me to change interface switch options again and restored all of them across all of the Studio. I was then able to turn off all plugins.

Studio rebuilt the plugin list at %LocalAppData%\Roblox\YourID\InstalledPlugins after the first reset, so I removed them and reset again, leaving only one file in the folder named settings.json.

I also noticed a different error from time to time: Failed to parse secrets: Can’t parse JSON. The plugin removals may have solved that error; I’m not totally sure and it did it fixed the other. Looking at the settings.json file, I did see that the file isn’t entirely correct.

Original settings.json file

ColumnFilter has 4 entries, but ColumnSize has 5. There is an extra 0.125, isn’t this a mismatch..

{ 
  "ViewSelector_Active":true, 
  "breakpointsWindowConfigs":{  
    "ColumnFilter":[], 
    "ColumnSize":[0.28571429848670959473,0.57142859697341918945,0.14285714924335479736] 
  }, 
  "callstackWindowConfigs":{  
    "ColumnFilter":["FrameColumn","SourceColumn","FunctionColumn","LineColumn"], 
    "ColumnSize":[0.125,0.125,0.375,0.25,0.125] 
  }, 
  "watchWindowConfigs":{  
    "Tab":"Variables", 
    "VariablesColumnFilter":["ScopeColumn","ValueColumn","DataTypeColumn"], 
    "MyWatchesColumnFilter":["ValueColumn","DataTypeColumn"], 
    "ScopeFilter":["Local","Upvalue","Global"], 
    "ColumnSizeMyWatches":[0.3333333432674407959,0.3333333432674407959,0.3333333432674407959], 
    "ColumnSizeVariables":[0.25,0.25,0.25,0.25] 
  }
}
Revised settings.json file 
{ "ViewSelector_Active": true, "breakpointsWindowConfigs": { "ColumnFilter": [], "ColumnSize": [0.2857142984867096, 0.5714285969734192, 0.1428571492433548] }, "callstackWindowConfigs": { "ColumnFilter": ["FrameColumn", "SourceColumn", "FunctionColumn", "LineColumn"], "ColumnSize": [0.125, 0.125, 0.375, 0.25] }, "watchWindowConfigs": { "Tab": "Variables", "VariablesColumnFilter": ["ScopeColumn", "ValueColumn", "DataTypeColumn"], "MyWatchesColumnFilter": ["ValueColumn", "DataTypeColumn"], "ScopeFilter": ["Local", "Upvalue", "Global"], "ColumnSizeMyWatches": [0.3333333432674408, 0.3333333432674408, 0.3333333432674408], "ColumnSizeVariables": [0.25, 0.25, 0.25, 0.25] } }

The time to time error: Failed to parse secrets: Can’t parse JSON is now totally gone.

I still cannot use the Save to Roblox or Publish to Roblox options after saving the project file to the hard drive, as mentioned earlier.

Looking back, the one thing that happened differently the day this started was that the plugins I was using were updated. I’m not sure if that caused the main error, but it certainly created some problems.
