Typing in the script editor is extremely slow in macOS

Changed RGB profile on Mac Mini and no difference in performance.

Maybe it only applies to Mac computers with batteries (MacBooks)?

@RellVar

After having this issue consistently for 2 weeks I found out switching my color profile from color lcd to generic rgb or multiple other profiles fixes the problem

I would recommend SRGB instead of RGB.

@Webmotion

I’d rather be using the default colour profile if possible

Yeah, same. Changing the color profile constantly can be a huge chore. I am not sure why Roblox doesn’t work well with P3 wide color gamut displays.

@Urxpaly45

Right, it’s both. Deleting files and changing the color profile. For me, when just changing the profile, nothing happened. It only worked after i did both.

I didn’t have to do both in order to fix the performance. Interesting…

The color profile solution is for wide-gamut P3 displays made by Apple, Mac Mini does not come with a display. You are probably using a display that is not affected or is affected differently.

This is the monitor I’m using (x2) https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-ultragear-27-ips-led-qhd-freesync-and-g-sync-compatable-monitor-with-hdr-displayport-hdmi-black/6401809.p?skuId=6401809

Does it have a P3 wide color gamut display?

[Tenal]

Man, I regret upgrading to Big Sur.

[Optiplex3020SFF]

Why so? Is it because of the script editor issues?

I’m also having this issue on both of my macs and the script editor lag is unbearable. Almost impossible to get any work done.

Extremely frustrating, please do something to address this asap.

Take a spindump: On macOS, open the Activity Monitor, select RobloxStudio from the list of processes, click the gear icon, and select “Spindump”. Send us the text this outputs.

@Bausteinbuilder3

How big is the rbxl file that you’re editing, and how big is the specific script that you’re editing.

Happens on an empty baseplate.

@yohooyohoo

does switching to 3D tab first and then switch back script editor tab can solve this lagging issue in your local?

@Hippie_ofDoom

THe engineers are asking how frequent this issue is. So if you attempted to reproduce this bug 5 times in a row how many times does it occur?

This happens 100% of the time.

Have you tried doing this in the meantime?

Guide on how to fix script editor lag (macos)

So I’ve been using my MacBook pro for a while now. For me, the script editor became really unresponsive and had a huge delay between typing lines. After completely factory resetting my MacBook and trying various different techniques I finally found what is causing this issue and how you can fix it. The problem lies with the display settings of your MacBook, Roblox Studio doesn’t like the Colour LCD profile or any other profile that is not natively RGB. to fix this go to [System Preferenc…

Hello,
Again, this issue has struck me.
I was able to solve it on my old MacBook, and I do know how to fix it.
But I want to know Roblox if you need anything from me before I do fix it.

[Lethal682]

Still having this issue for over a year. On macOS Big Sur, latest studio update, no beta features enabled.

I’m able to reproduce this 100% of the time.

It makes developing impossible.

In the video I typed fast but it took the script editor time to catch up.

Does switching 3D view tab or display Studio on built-in display can solve the issue in your local?

[yohooyohoo]

Hi Developers,

When you are facing this issue, would you help try switching 3D view tab can solve issue in your local? It seems there are multiple issue here and they are OS version specific, we are trying to narrow down each of these issues.

Just returned to the store today out of frustration and picked up a Windows PC, sorry that I’m unable to assist further.

[scagnetti619]

I’ve never had a real positive experience using Studio on OSX (10.13 - 10.15). Runs slow to buggy to crashing all the time, at least for me this is what I saw. Windows 10 is definitely the way to go IMO.

[king2hamsters]

You can make script outside of roblox then copy paste it

If only Roblox actually worked well on macOS…

[Vmena]

No, switching back and forth does not solve the issue. The only solution that has worked for me is changing my display colors from the default iMac colors to one of the sRGB presets.

[Ex_Bla (GroupHolder)]

I’ve been using the Generic RGB profile for the past few months, can’t look at a normal screen ever again.

[Florian27 (Roy)]

The quickest solution for this issue would be to change your color profile. Go to Systems preferences > Display > Color > and try other color profiles to see if the script editor lag is reduced.

I’m using the latest updated MacBook Pro and changing from default Display profile ‘Color LCD’ to ‘Apple RGB’ or ‘sRGB IEC…’ seemed to have worked. Luckily, I have a monitor which I do most of my coding work on.

I would recommend changing it to sRGB for better color accuracy.

I would never use the RGB preset after using the sRGB preset.
