This has been happening to me too for a week now. I am not able to publish my games due to which I have to save them everytime on my PC. I tried uploading on all my groups even on my user but it shows Publish Failed error.

It has been happening to me since 2020 when uploading models, assets, places except for animations stopped working as :
http:connectfail()
my game failed to save / publish

Some features doesn’t work sometime that im stuck at “publish is failed”
and I couldnt fix it (even with VPN!), I had to ask friend to publish update for months.
Till I buy new pc or managed to reinstall windows I’m stuck at very impactful network bug.

Bumping this because it’s starting to happen to me, and nothing I can find on Google, YouTube or the DevForum can help me.

What i’m trying to do is override a place inside of a game I made, and then it just spends like 10 minutes in the publishing screen, then it just shows me this:

This is very annoying, I tried to override a place and since that wasn’t working i tried making a new place. Still doesn’t work.

Edit: I tried restarting Studio, then restarting my pc, then re-installing Studio.
My internet is honestly very good right now considering everything works perfectly fine in Roblox Studio and anything I do online, with the only problem being the publish fail.

You’ve missed the most critical piece of info: the link to the game.

it’s happened to me today, i overwriting place to another place and it’s take so long, and the overwrited place doesn’t change i believe there are people who are experiencing this problem as well, but too few.

Been happening to me for weeks, except I hit overwrite and nothing happens. No error or anything in the output. Only thing that happens is that the overwrite button turns grey.

This sucks because I’d like to have different versions of the game that have different server sizes, voice chat only, etc. This is extremely annoying

Can we get a look into this ASAP? I feel like this is a somewhat critical bug because this completely prevents developers affected from publishing what they have made. In my case, I cant publish games that were saved to file unless I upload them to a completely new place. When I try to publish to Roblox by overwriting an existing game I get stuck on this screen below no matter how long I wait. It is extremely tedious to work around this issue.

Note: This is only from File → Roblox overwriting

I’m having the same problem. Even though I try to insert a brick into the game and make small changes, it still won’t publish… I even saved the game on my PC, and overwriting doesn’t work either, as shown on the screenshot.

We found out what caused this for my game, and I’ll write about it in case it helps anyone else.
The reason why our game wouldn’t publish was because there was an excessive amount of textures and/or meshes in the game.

Our only solution to this was to save the map as a file, remove the map from the game, overwrite the game into its desired place, and then open up the overwritten game and import the map file.

Edit: It should also be noted that for some reason, this only happens when OVERWRITING a game. Publishing as a new game works fine.

Hi everyone!

To have this issue better looked at, I would recommend for those that are still encountering this problem to file a new bug report with as much information as possible! Check this thread before you do!

Also, thank you for the possible workaround, @1nicopatty!
