Understanding and Fixing the VisBugMeshLock Issue in Roblox

Hello Roblox players and developers,

Recently, many users have reported seeing a strange message appear on their screens while playing Roblox:
VisBugMeshLock = true (C++)
This unexpected issue seems to be linked to an internal Roblox debugging flag called **VisBugMeshLock**. It is affecting the **Shift Lock** camera functionality, forcing it on even in games where it should be disabled.

❓ What is VisBugMeshLock?

VisBugMeshLock appears to be a developer flag used by Roblox internally. While its exact purpose is unclear, it is believed to be related to debugging mesh rendering and collision behavior. However, for some users, it has **unexpectedly enabled Shift Lock mode**, making camera movement feel different and unresponsive.

🔍 How to Check if You Are Affected

If your camera is behaving strangely or you see the "VisBugMeshLock = true" message on your screen, try the following:
  • Open the in-game settings (press Esc).
  • Navigate to the **Camera Mode** section.
  • If "Shift Lock" is enabled but greyed out (meaning you cannot disable it), you might be affected by this bug.
  • Try joining a different game to see if the issue persists.
