If this is supposed to be fixed, it’s broken again (or still is since this 80 days ago). My avatar viewer is breaking constantly because of this bug.

Making viewports practically unusable within canvasgroups

#4

The only workaround I’ve found is to either change properties on the CanvasGroup constantly or re-parent your target object in the ViewportFrame constantly. Still waiting on a fix. :frowning:

#5

Yea, but I’m talking about it in-game which has no properties window. However, I have found a workaround within the game but it doesn’t mean the bug isn’t annoying.

If the viewport is within a scroll frame and you scroll in any direction it’ll update. But that’s the only method I’ve come up with to update it

#6

One Workaround for those that are currently finding this post.

Add a boolean attribute to the object and use a loop to constantly enable/disable it.
This will update videoFrames, Viewports, etc

Theres actually a easy way around this.

RunService.HeartBeat:Connect(function()
       for i,v in pairs(CanvasGroup:GetChildren())
              if v:FindFirstChild("ViewportFrame") then
                     v.Visible = false
                     v.Visible = true
              end
       end
end)

You can have this in a spawn function aswell that just runs. (locally)
this will bypass and be a temp work around untill the bug has been fixed.

this is probably the intended effect, since canvasgroup are a bit more different than the other normal guithings

Bump - still happens to date. Extremely annoying and the only good solution I’ve found is to “jitter” one of the viewport properties, or the viewport camera for some reason, on each render step to get a consistent refresh (I flicker the camera FOV slightly).

#14

This is not fixed and shouldn’t be marked as such. It still occurs today.

Hey. I can confirm that as of the 4th of April 2024, this bug is still in fact, unfixed. I literally spent 3 hours wondering why it wasn’t playing animations. massive waste of time. roblox employees cant get one thing right.

#17
