Hello, I have recently come across a bug within the roblox client where the skybox seems to not load and only show a black “sky”. This occurrence seems to be very rare as it has only happened to me once upon loading into my game, but in the past I have had reports from other players facing the same issue.
When this happened, I was playing on a desktop with an RTX 2070 and Intel core i7, if that helps you pinpoint any issue.
Here are also a few other players that faced the issue.
What’s interesting here is that it seems like it isn’t an issue of the texture assets not loading, as the images for the sky my game uses are also used within a viewport frame gui as shown here, where the sky images seem to have loaded just fine.
I checked to see if the sky instance exists within the server by using the developer console, and it does:
My game also has a feature where sometimes it rains and the skybox changes to a different variant. When this happens, the skybox actually starts working again, along with the atmosphere, even with the original skybox which was showing a black sky at first. (Please note that the rain and normal skyboxes are seperate sky instances and not just a single one where the texture is being changed)
