Is anyone else having issues with unions lately? Sometimes when saving my game, random union(s) will just disappear. The instance will still be there, but if you try separating it, it deletes itself. The unions in question aren’t anything complex either.
I just now encountered a new issue where a union is visible in studio, but invisible in-game. Separating that specific union makes the individual parts disappear into oblivion. (gone, not transparent)
I’ve tried reinstalling studio and clearing the cache, as someone suggested. Neither seemed to work.
I did some more experimenting with that brown union that disappeared at the end of the video linked above. If I duplicate or paste it in the same studio place, it will be visible (although broken in the same way), though if I paste it in a different studio place, it will be invisible.
Can you open the console log? Maybe it’ll show an error message, the instance still exist but it’s just invisible from the clip you just shown. Maybe it happens because you imported the union from another place and roblox couldn’t find the union data?
You can try enabling ReloadAssets in Studio settings.
Press Alt+S to bring up settings, then click on Rendering. You should see a checkbox next to ReloadAssets. Hopefully this should resolve your problem.
I stopped having this problem for a while but got a “CSG error code -25” a few hours ago (resulting in the union-part negation not being performed).
I saved the file and stopped working on it maybe 20 minutes after receiving the error (no freezing occurred when saving as described in my earlier post on this thread above)
I reopened the file now and saw that several unions are now invisible and portray the same characteristics as described previously.
They usually have to be unique. It’s typically a specific model of union (if one of that specific model disappears, all the others do). Also, they often retain their hitboxes, but appear invisible. When separated or negated, they simply cease to exist.
This problem has been going on for well over a year now and still hasn’t even been addressed. It’s absolutely frustrating and gamebreaking.
I know I’m not contributing much by posting this and bumping the thread but everyone’s been having this issue and not even a single peep from ROBLOX. Solid modelling is a core function of roblox studio, but seeing it broken and corrupt so very often makes it almost useless. A fix must be put into place sooner rather than later.
This happens when a union doesn’t save properly causing it to corrupt, sometimes you can fix it simply by separating it and then re unioning it but apart from that there isn’t really much else you can do to prevent this other than regular saving and making sure you close studio properly each time you finish working on it
