Streaming radius nerfed?

  • Describe the bug. Describe what is happening when the bug occurs. Describe what you would normally expect to occur.

Did the way streaming works change recently? Sometime in the last two weeks, our streaming has gone from being ‘good enough’ with a fairly large streaming radius around our characters to untenable in multi-player games - the streaming radius is down to just a terrain block or two - it is so small that it is even sometimes possible to drive off the edge before a chunk has streamed in.

  • How often does the bug happen (Everytime/sometimes/rarely)? What are the steps that reproduce the bug? Please list them in very high detail. Provide simple example places that exhibit the bug and provide description of what you believe should be the behavior.

We first started noticing it today (1/25/18) but we haven’t done a multiplayer test in two weeks, so the problem may have been introduced any time since then. It is not everytime, but it is almost every time there’s more than one player in the level. The more players, the more likely it’s a problem.

  • Where does the bug happen (www, gametest, etc) Is it level-specific? Is it game specific? Please post a link to the place that exhibits the issue.

It is particularly noticeable in our largest level. [PET WOLF RIDER!] [ALPHA!] Legend of You - Roblox

  • Would a screenshot or video help describe it to someone? If so, post one.

  • For graphics bugs, it is sometimes helpful to know your system specs, especially graphics card.

We’re playing on a variety of different machines and all seeing the problem in varying degrees.
My particular machine is a i7 4510U 2Ghz

With a GeForce 840M

  • When did the bug start happening? If we can tie it to a specific release that helps us figure out what we broke.

Sometime in the last two weeks, probably in just the last few days.

  • Anything else that you would want to know about the bug if it were your job to find and fix it.
