Yes, I can’t insert any of my newly published models.

Are there steps that reproduce the bug?
Simply publish a model or part using Roblox Studio, and then try to insert it using the toolbox.

It’s not random characters, that’s the binary format. Open a .rbxl you saved in the last - oh, however long it’s been, at least months - and you’ll see the same thing.

The bug is that the model loader doesn’t appear to support it.

As far as I know we did not switch model uploading to binary format :-/ I’ll take a look.

Are you using Studio’s “publish selection”?

Update: Wow, repro-d with prod Studio. Will take a look ASAP.

I was able to repro by selecting the model in explorer and clicking “Save to Roblox”, as well as by using “File → Publish Selection to ROBLOX”

These methods also do not support the binary format: Workspace::InsertContent, Game::GetObjects

I got the same error, just by dragging a model from the toolbox to workspace.

Should be fixed now. Thanks for a quick notice!
