Wearing Multiple Stacking Layered Clothing and Spam Equipping any Tool Lags EVERYONE In the Server

In the video, I showcase a real player on Roblox and their current equipped Layered Clothing items. I then go ingame using their HumanoidDescription and put it on my character. I then spam equip a Tool, and you can notice the Microprofiler spiking, and my screen having massive frame drops. This is not client sided, all other players ingame will also experience the same lag.

You can currently test this in any game that allows you to copy another user. The user’s outfits used was from 24k_mxtty1 - Roblox

I’ve also added the .rbxl file to test this yourself, using a cloned HumanoidDescription found in the script:
LayeredClothingBugShowcase.rbxl (61.8 KB)

Video showcase and explanation using my Mic here:

Expected behavior

Layered Clothing should not be able to lag the entire server.

I think Roblox is working on fixing this; they announced some improvements at RDC. Check this timestamp: Opening Keynote | RDC 2025 (4:03:44)

I hope so but it looks a bit different, since their arms aren’t moving in the timestamp. For my example the arm have to move to equip, which causes the Layered Clothing to “animate” which causes the lag. But I can’t be to sure, just hope its fixed soon :cry:

This is actually a dupe, and yes, aforementioned an engineer is working on improvements. Hopefully they’ll be released on schedule later this year!
