Studio crashes after stopping a playtest

Studio seems to just like to crash out of nowhere when I end the playtest.

Reproduction Steps:

  • Open a studio place file (One with unsaved edits)
  • Run a local server test (By using Next Gen Beta “Play” button)
  • Move around / interact with things
  • Stop the playtest

Beta Features:

  • Assistant Preview
  • Avatar Joint Upgrade
  • Dragger QoL Improvements
  • Gamepad Emulator
  • Import Queue
  • Improved Constraint Tool
  • New Studio Camera Controls
  • Next Gen Explorer
  • Next Gen Studio Preview
  • Occlusion Culling
  • Preferred Text Size Setting
  • Script Sync [Early Preview]
  • Studio Solid Modeling Improvements
  • Texture Generator
  • UIDragDetectors
  • VR Emulator

System Information:

  • 12th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i5-12400
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
  • Intel(R) UHD Graphics 730
    (I couldn’t figure out how to find the memory information for my system on windows 11.)

Expected behavior

Studio ends the playtest normally, allowing me to continue to edit my experience.

A similar issue happened with me. When I stop the test studio freezes at the sky background.

Just to get the terminology correct, you’re talking about Play Solo where the test runs in the editing session you’re using and not launching another two Studio windows, correct?

How frequently does this happen with the provided place file?

Can you send a log after the crash occurs? It might provide additional information. (Can DM it)

Thanks for your response! Yes, it is the one when you hit F5 and the game viewport is the game window. It appears as if it stopped occurring for me after this report but according to other users this is still an issue. I will send the log file in the private message from before when I am able to get to my computer.

Sorry for the delay on my response. I just re-encountered this issue today and have uploaded the requested log file into the private message.

Hi. Is there any update on this bug because it is still occurring for me.

Edit: Crashed 2 other times after posting this :sob:

Edit2: At this point, it is constantly happening. It is really a pain to develop right now because of this bug.

Do you mind sending more logs when it crashes? We’re looking into it but haven’t found a definitive cause or repro at this point - any additional info you can provide (logs, additional .rbxl this occurs in, additional ways to repro, etc.) will help us triage better!

Hi, I’ll try my best. This issue happens to me pretty randomly but recently has been occurring more frequently.

Since I made my post it seems like it is occurring with very short play-tests and maybe it is because I am using the button, this is just a guess though.

I will add the log files as soon as I can. I will also try and find out how to repro this.

Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello, I’ve seen this post since it’s been a recent issue I am having recently. After closing the playtest, studio stays in a kind of “limbo” state where windows like the explorer, properties, and other stay frozen, broken, and duplicated. Here’s a picture as an example:


You can’t click nothing nor close studio, I had to close studio via the Task Manager to fix this. I’m on pretty much a low-end Windows 10 PC if you are asking. Here’s a log:
0.666.478.6661260_20250402T195400Z_Studio_14CAE_last.log (1,3 MB)

This is also been recently happening to me a lot, but I’ve had this issue since about two weeks.

Hi, I haven’t had a chance to try and find a way to repro this yet but I have submitted a few of the log files. Thanks for helping out!

I’m not sure this is related to this issue as it seems like my studio just shuts itself down. I have seen this white flash time thing before but it always reverted itself.

And it is not really a flash, it just stays there

Also getting a similar issue, when I stop a solo playtest my studio just freezes with only the sky being visible. Have to use task manager to close studio every time.

Recently happens to me too. The thing is that sometimes it works, sometimes it freezes.
I’m on W10 low end too if that helps.

Similar issue is happening to me as today I playtested in studio on my game and after I stopped it this happened.

Interesting, do you have a video of this occurring? I haven’t been able to record this while it happens. And was it on normal or Next Gen? I haven’t been able to get this to happen on the new playtest thing for Next Gen but it happened before.

Similar thing happening for the past few days, studio just hangs and doesn’t respond.

Usually after my code errors then, going out of the solo play test and then it freezes with the script open.

EDIT:

After unfreezing the output spams:

:arrow_forward: Not running script because past shutdown deadline (x17)

Studio is crashing for me upon stopping a solo playtest, with all beta features disabled. I tested on the previous release (666), and the issue does not occur there.
