Server not updating. Urgent!

Nothing is replicating from client-server. I don’t mean none of my remotes are working or something like that. I mean my character loads in and all seems fine, except when I try to do anything related to the server. I just spent like 1.5 days fixing bugs that might have never even actually existed if the server and client can’t communicate so it’s a pretty substantial issue. I can’t even walk anywhere and have it update on the server, it just shows my character at the spawn location. Any help on this would be appreciated. I’ve already reinstalled studio.

Please specify more on these issues. I’m extremely confused.

Hey! @UwUanimsyt

This sounds like a classic case of testing in Client Mode only, which causes all server communication to silently fail. Remotes, replication, movement, and all.

To properly test server-client communication:

  • Go to the Home tab in Studio.
  • Click Start (F5) instead of Play.
  • That will launch a full server + client session where replication works properly.

Let me know if that fixes it. :white_check_mark:

Hello, @UwUanimsyt!

I would like to inform you that because this is a bug I recommend you open up a bug report so that the Roblox Engineer Team can see this issue and fix it or give you feedback.

If you do not know how to report a bug please go here:

You could also try what was said above to see if that fixes anything :slight_smile:

However I still recommend opening a bug report just to get this to the engineering team so they can fix this or give you feedback.

This should explain what I mean.

The web shooting is supposed to create the hitmarker effect on the server, but it never does, and as you can see, nothing is updating regardless of what I do

I tried this but it unfortunately had the same result

Hello, @UwUanimsyt!

Please open a bug report, since this did not work for you.

I did end up making a bug report and someone just told me that it belongs in help & feedback

Great you should close this topic now, as this was posted in the wrong place it should’ve been a bug report originally, no it’s supposed to be a bug report.

It’s been a few days now and still nothing from roblox and no improvement on the situation. At this rate I won’t be able to release the update planned for my game on time because none of the edsential systems in my game function correctly without the server and I can’t work on my traversal for the same reason.

I managed to fix it, it’s the IK controls in a mesh that are in the starter character. That shouldn’t be enough to break an entire game, but for whatever reason it does.

Edit: nevermind, it didn’t fix the web issues, but it did fix the movement thing so now I’m just confused
