Why toggling off CharacterAutoloads in Players service stops replicatiion of parts in workspace?

So, I toggled off CharacterAutoloads property and parts stopped loading in workspace:

If I toggle it back on, everything is normal:

But I don’t need character to spawn at all!

Why this occurs and how to solve this? I toggled this property off many times for many games, but this issue appeared first time for me…

NOTE: parts NOT in workspace still load like needed.

‘who’ or what script creates those Part ? is it a script inside the StartCharacterScript

#3

Parts are placed in workspace, and not created in any other way than building mode in studio.

#4

It’s because of StreamingEnabled.

Thanks, it was really due to it!
I disabled it (cuz map is small, and big ones are inside viewport frames) and everything loaded like needed.

It’s because streaming enabled only works based on where the character is located and not the camera. A good way to get through this is to use RequestStreamAroundAsync which calls for an area around a specified point to be streamed in for the designated player. This is better than disabling streaming enabled altogether. Though, if you have a really small map then it’s just best to disable streaming enabled.

(Didn’t notice this was already solved, but here is some extra info for ya.)
