recently, many people have experienced this issue.

global/normal/local scripts are running extremely slow.
Apocs Rising has been also experiencing this, and so am I.


I can't even play my place without it crashing because a simple script is making my character Waiting for Character forever
If I remove the script everything loads.

what's going on with these "fabulous" updates?
because these "fabulous" updates are crashing mine and others scripts and games


enough with the "fabulous" updates

because roblox is too "fabulous" enough

if you know what I mean

I tested my place on my low-end laptop and my high-end gaming desktop.

it crashed on both

I even asked my friend to connect and see if it works, it doesn't

is anybody else other than Apoc Ris experiencing this?

All my games seem to be running at normal speeds, I haven't noticed any differences with script performance.

My scripts still seem to be performing well, so if your scripts are not performing well, you should probably try to make them look more like my scripts.

I've noticed the same thing Mrgames has; it seems to happen both online and Play Solo.

But on a serious note, if there are problems with specific events or performance of specific calls, then let me know what those are and I can look into possible regressions. There have been a lot of changes recently, and often this can alter the performance of previous scripts (like the recent change in wait(.001)). But without somewhere more specific to look, I cannot help you.

As far as CharacterAdded and PlayerAdded are concerned, those have always been "tricky" events to hook up to correctly. My first three guesses as to problems would be that either:
1.) you are using .LocalPlayer (which I avoid, since it is faulty)
2.) you are using .PlayerAdded and it's not firing as you expect (especially in Play Solo, but sometimes elsewhere, I find that the first player to join can join before the event gets hooked up-- so I always manually call whatever I hook up to .PlayerAdded on the pre-existing children of game.Players() the moment I hook up the event).
3.) you are using .CharacterAdded or Player.Character and it's doing weird things. Usually this is because after you die, the Character being referenced is the old one, which has 0 health and a parent of nil. Just waiting until a few sanity checks pass will fix this problem (so wait() while not Player.Character or not Player.Character.Parent or not Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") or not Player.Character.Humanoid.Health > 0). Doesn't need to be all those checks, but that's just to convey the idea.

Just want to take a moment to point out Apoc. Rising isn't as well scripted as it claims to be. I'm willing to bet the ONLY reason for their 'slow down' is the recent change to wait, and the fact that it uses 9001 infinite loops running every frame.
