Unable to join created game, but able to join others

When I try to joing a game that I created on ROBLOX, it continuously loads for 10 minutes, then pops up with the error "Something unexpectedly tried to set the parent of to NULL while trying to set the parent of . Current Parent PlayerGUI”

This the following I also receive from logs:

Interesting.
It appears you are already in the server, as it says joining server, and you can see the dev console.
I believe it’s possible to disable the loading screen, try this:
game.ReplicatedFirst:RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen()

It’s clear to say this is most likely an issue on Roblox’s side. While there is a possibly you have some sort of universal script in every single game of yours that causes things like this, that is very unlikely.

If the suggestion by the above poster doesn’t help, you may consider filing a bug report.

Do I need to put it into a script on workspace? Because I did that and it did not work.

Put it in a local script in replicated first, as it is one of the first things that load, and GUI better handled in a local script.

I can now see the map, but I’m still unable to spawn.

Maybe put load character somewhere, or listening to errors. Does it work in studio?

It works on studio when I play.

Are you going to try to load character, or try to fix the warnings in the dev console when you join?

im trying to load my character

No, as in game.Players.LocalPlayer:LoadCharacter()

yea, im trying load in my character and play the game

Update: The something unexpected part doesn’t appear anymore, but im still unable to join and the client freezes after loading for 10+ minutes.

I’m not sure at this point, try to copy and paste your stuff in another game, maybe one script at a time, and if that doesn’t work then idk to tell you.

I got a similar one. I cannot join games upon clicking the green play button. Once i click on it, nothing happens. The prompt that lets you know doesn’t pop up. I even restarted, shutdown my computer, deleted roblox from my directories, and the problem is still there. I even logged out and in, and the problem is still there.

EDIT: i found the solution that is the only one that works. I have the windows 10 roblox app. and i am using it.
