Studio places refuse to open, stuck on "Opening place..." screen

Since yesterday there has been an issue with opening up places on Roblox Studio. At first it was just large place files, but this eventually expanded to any place file, either local or uploaded to Roblox. When I open the place, it just shows the “Opening place…” screen forever, and prevents me from closing Studio, requiring me to force close it with Task Manager.
Another oddity, I have multiple accounts on Roblox Studio, and this only happens on one of the accounts but not the other, I don’t know why. I hope this will be noticed quickly, because this is urgent as it completely halts game development.

Expected behavior

I expect Studio to open the place up as normal, and not to be left hanging on the “Opening place…” screen.

I’m also having the same issue, I am able to open small places essentially baseplates with a few assets, but anything with a map or actually having something will not load. Same situation even with local files that aren’t published, small ones open and big ones don’t.

Yes, this issue is still happening, I’d like to add additional information:
small to medium place files do eventually load, but it takes about 2 to 10 minutes, large place files don’t load at all.

Can any of you share the place link with me? I’ll take a look. Thank you!

It’s a private, non published place.

can you share the place id in a private message?
