Using Microphone or Camera Freezes your client/game for 6 seconds every action you do

I’ve gotten this bug 2 weeks ago. But I figured out that when you have your Microphone or Camera turned on, and if you turn it on, Your client will freeze for 6 seconds for every action you do (Joining the Game, Leaving the Game, Resetting your Character, Opening Roblox Menu). Same as leaving or joining the game. But, when your microphone and camera are turned off, the client will not freeze but Joining and Leaving still be affected by freezing for 6 seconds (Only Affected if you have a High-End PC.)

Here’s Some Clips:

I’ve had this issue for about 2 weeks now as of today. But in my case turning off VC or the Camera didn’t fix the problems. The lag was noticeably less annoying and wasn’t as bad, but it still happens relatively often and is unbearably frustrating.

I discovered that deleting the Roblox stuff in the registry, doing a complete uninstall and deleting local app data helps fix the issue for about an hour before it comes back again. I’m theorising that it could be something related to the registry, but I’m not sure.

I compiled a bunch of clips into one YouTube video that shows this isn’t just happening in certain games, it happens everywhere. It’s also worth noting NO OTHER GAME has this issue of frequent lag spikes, freezing, or frame skips. It’s just Roblox.

So much for a billion-dollar corporation…

Honestly If I had a dollar for every time Roblox failed to disappoint my with their bug-ridden, utterly half-baked systems or company/engine decisions that make Studio the black box development environment it is, I’d be rich by now.

This issue has plagued my end for weeks now as well freezing my client for seconds when toggling the menu, deploying the character etc

I’ve had to now remove vital VC features on my main solo project on the video. (Unnecessary parts removed to preserve projects confidentiality)

And halt the other game I’m working for due to it totally crashing studio in the other article which has messed up it’s whole production timeline.

Sorry to bump but was any update given on this as I am currently experiencing the same issue. I’m having the exact same issue he has described here where he turns off his VC and it all goes back to normal and doesn’t freeze.

Any updates or any news on whether this could get fixed would be greatly appreciated.

This has been happening with specific cameras and microphones. I had to disable all but the camera I mainly use to even be able to pause without Roblox nearly crashing every time

Roblox doesn’t seen to freeze if I have my integrated webcam enabled, but if I enable webcam’s such as iruin webcam or EOS webcam utility it will freeze up instantly.
