I am on windows, but the last time I did that, it fâd up the entire home screen of my old laptop. App icons were so large and couldnât be found etc.
Took a little bit longer than expected but sometimes it just ramps up like crazy, is there any way to debug this, could it be a⌠memory leak�
Little quick update, turns out its one of the betas, the Luau beta doesnât like when you have a LOT of scripts, my game has 624mb in scripts which is starting to make me question where the hell all of it is coming from, im going to start looking into it.

A lot of things that I shouldâve made just one and have it replicate off that one script, all of them are the same but its the same script for each vehicle, shouldnât be like that, at least I figured it out for some of my issues :
-
LUAU Beta ( Possible constant crasher for those who have a place that have a good amount of scripts ) :
- Just remove the beta feature, if you do like the Beta a lot and see it very beneficial to have, attempt to have as little obfuscated code as you can, I sadly cant since something key of my game depends on an obfuscated framework⌠sadlyâŚ
-
Optimization :
- Attempt to reduce your studio beta render/mesh graphics, if you havenât taken a look at it, check out your studio setting ( FIle ( top left corner ) - > Studio Settings - > Rendering ) and tweak them around for your deviceâs optimal performance,
-
Removing most third party plugins :
- I donât know why I have to say it but many people tend to have plugins on they really donât, not only is it a security risk if youâve downloaded a plugin that could insert malicious code into a/all scripts to have a back end module be launched when you ONLY upload your game, Iâve seen instances of plugins that donât do anything until it detects an upload, how? Donât know, just know some do give viruses if you donât pay attention to what you download. Just use the plugin, then remove it from your active plugins list. No need to uninstall.
IF you havent figured out whats causing your issue to insane lag or memory consumption I recommend paying attention to your performance :
Now some may say oh my god thatâs a lot, trust me, I know, but funny enough the game is optimized, not as much as I wish I could do but enough for the time I have.
Read trough the place memory, look at any insane values, in this case, mine being scripts, it lead me to find out that obfuscated code causes a BIG amount of MB usage, hereâs a nice little script chat gpt wrote me really quickly to demonstrate how to measure what big scripts you have by the character count.
local scriptsData = {}
for _, obj in pairs(game:GetDescendants()) do
if obj:IsA("LuaSourceContainer") then
local scriptName = obj:GetFullName()
local scriptSize = #obj.Source
table.insert(scriptsData, {scriptName, scriptSize})
end
end
table.sort(scriptsData, function(a, b) return a[2] > b[2] end)
for i, data in pairs(scriptsData) do
print(i..". "..data[1].." - "..data[2].." characters")
end
It will give you a list of the scripts with the most characters and hopefully help you find massive scripts. With joints and instances and what not maybe it can help you too! Wouldnât hurt to go ask for a code to help you find it.
Otherwise, I hope this helps anyone who reads it and has random crashes, oh also! If youâre going to work on a BIG game, I recommend a Ram upgrade, recently had to go all the way up to 32 because of my game. Make sure your windows page file system has unlimited space, Roblox apparently loves it. Go look it up on google if youâre not sure what it is ( make sure you have enough disk space )
Goodbye!
