Roblox Studio doesn’t save to a local file if you publish and then use the ctrl+s hotkey without making a change to the game. To reproduce the bug, open any saved .rbxl, make changes, publish it, and then try to ctrl+s without making additional changes. To my knowledge this bug has been happening for a few months or longer. Was 100% reproducible on my Windows 10 machine.
The place will still close without a save prompt when this happens, which has caused me to accidentally jumble different versions of my games together and caused headaches when I had to comb through the uploaded version history looking for the most up-to-date parts of my game.
had a place open, colored some bricks, moved a spawn location, published to a place, ctrl+s and it saved fine (output popped up saying it saved, timestamp in folder matched)
@Maelstronomer@The_Envelope So I actually restarted my machine and now I’m getting the same results you guys are, no longer experiencing the problem. Might be related to keeping a place open for a while or some other weird system bugs. Will post again if it starts occurring.
Odd. I have been able to repro this 100% of the time, in fact it has been a drawback for me. There is no save prompt either. If I publish but the game is locally saved as well, exiting will have no prompt and hitting CTRL+S will not show “Place has been saved” as it should in the output.
I think the difference between what you and OP + myself are doing is that you haven’t re-opened the published place. In my case, I am opening an already published place, saving locally, then publishing when I am done with my work. When I hit CTRL+S after that publish, it does not work, just as OP is saying.
I have had to remedy this via moving my camera then hitting CTRL+S.
Publishing does not let you save afterwards without moving the camera or changing anything. You can publish after you save however. You also can’t save after you save unless you move the camera or change anything. Not really a bug, but the first one is annoying nonetheless.
