I'm hoping a mod can read this because "random" game shutdowns are occurring a lot to basically everyone who has been playing my dev testing game that I have been working on.

I know very little details about this issue and why it happens, but I've gathered some clues about it.

1. It happens regardless of how well your internet connection is
- this is strongly supported by the fact that pretty much everyone who played it experienced the same problem and obviously not everyone has poor internet connection
- further proven when pressing Shift-f5 in game to see that the "network-receive rate" stats are solid green and the shutdowns still occur

2. It always says "This game has been shutdown" and never "You have lost connection"
3. It happens even I am not online to initiate such an action

4. It can happen as soon as you finish loading all the parts and spawn
- happened to me three times in a row once, as soon as I joined, the game shutdowned on me

5. Sometimes it happens when you get killed and die, which may suggest that my scripts could be the culprit
- this leads to the question, what could my scripts do specifically to cause a "shutdown" on a player, and why does it appear to be on a random basis? The code within the scripts themselves do not attempt to shutdown the server.

6. The shutdown is local, other players continue normally while the shutdowned player disappears as if he left the server
7. The shutdown can happen even if the player is standing in the lobby simply chatting
8. Sometimes, multiple people get shutdowned simultaneously
- the people who survive the shutdown streak suddenly see 4-7 people disappear in a single second

9. The shutdown glitch is also prominent in the game Authority by Spookyfox in a similar, if not exact same way

10. It may have to do with setting up my gunscripts to retrieve _G functions from a main localscript
- I know Authority also does their guns this way
- Does it support the idea that _G functions are somehow being overloaded and crashing the local client thus resulting in a "shutdown"? This is one of my hypotheses that I have, but lack the evidence and knowledge of roblox's coding stuff to back up the claim or to disprove it.

Hopefully someone with insight on this topic can post something helpful, thanks.

Oh also while we're addressing problems, how about Roblox starts thinking about the players rather then there wallets and make it so at least the fricken group uniforms are 5 to 10 tix min... it's hard running clans when no one is in uniform...
Plus I'd rather spend my money of ad's and what not then clothing is it's 100 min...

Btw. I still claim this thread.

Indeed lito, It has happened to me, I am not sure why but probably it has to do something with your scripts.

"with your scripts"

Just blame ROBLOX. That will make the situation less hard to deal with lol.

Yeah, while I was on your Dev Testing I only got shutdown once, and that was when I was in the game with you.

I have had similar problems in my new city place. There are no _G functions because I programmed everything there, I would know.

Also, my scripts work in other places.

I believe it is a roblox problem, not anything we have done. I might be wrong, though.

@Cool, if you are a scripter, you would know errors wont cause Shutdowns.

PLUS, shutdowns don't give errors, they just happen.

I looked into this and the follow error occurred right after I was disconnected:

Stance is not a valid member of Player
Script 'Workspace.foreverpower.Anima', Line 106 - global move
Script 'Workspace.foreverpower.Anima', Line 148
stack end

So it probably has something to do with that script.

I am going to put in my two cents. I have no scripting experience what so ever, but according to logic, shutdowns usually happen server side if there is too much cpu coming from one game, because the ROBLOX site hosts a lot of servers, right? But since it is local, chances are ROBLOX might not recognize the actions of a player and kick them. Like the speed hack in cheat engine. Basically, the new updates may outlaw some script actions like sudden walkspeed changes (Sprinting) or "illegal" body movement, such as arms or legs (Aiming or crouching).
